The Cornstalk boys.
We understand that, before the battle of Bethel, some of the enemy inquired of an old lady, at whose house they stopped, what troops composed the Confederate forces in the neighborhood.
She told them she believed they were from Virginia and North Carolina.
They affected to be greatly satisfied with this information, remarking that if they were South Carolinians and Louisianians they might have some trouble, but that they could "whip Virginians and North Carolinians with cornstalks."--If they entertained such an idea, wonder what they think of the experiment!
The 2:40 time in which they made tracks from old Rips' bayonets, and outrun the fastest balls from the Virginia artillery, showed that they were not immovably fined in their prejudices, and held themselves open to conviction.
