The Daily Dispatch: may 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 3 (search)
we have a little military spirit. As a striking instance of this assertion, I will state that a man in this county stepped into the only tailor-shop we have, the other day, and inquired if he could get two uniforms made. The tailor asked him what he wanted with two? He replied that he and his wife both intended to volunteer; that she had no children, had cut her hair off, and both intended to fight; and he would have the uniforms if he had to go to Lynchburg for them. We have one company of 100--Col. R. A. Richardson, an efficient officer, at the head; and one other company being made up, which will be completed in a few days. The first is ready to start. Other companies are forming into Home Guards, ready and willing to resist aggressions of fanatics in any section — all riflemen, and many of them with good rifles. as at a precinct to-day where a Home Guard was formed, and the only Union man I saw, was the only one that voted there in November for Douglas. Mercer.
