willing to sacrifice all in defence of our State. Such is the affair we now give, and vouch for its truthfulness. When the unfortunate affair of Rich Mountain was over, and Garnett's army had retreated into our Valley, the whole western portion of our county was exposed to the inroads of the thieving Hessians. That portion of the county was full of cattle, and hence the desire of the enemy to possess it. Soon after the enemy had possession of Beverly, news came of their advance by the Seneca Pass, and of their ravages on Dry. Fork and Shaver's Mountain. Then it was that a heroic band of mountaineers — we wish we could give their names — under the leadership of Allen White, numbering about twenty men, went forth to meet the invader. Numbers were not estimated; it was sufficient to know the enemy was coming. And that little band took its position on Laurel Fork; sent out their scouts, who soon returned with the news that the enemy was close at hand. Capt. White made such dispo

Franklin, Pendleton co., Aug. 28, 1861. We have occasionally during this war exhibitions of self-reliance and determination amongst our people that are worthy of being handed down to posterity.

Then it was that a heroic band of mountaineers — we wish we could give their names — under the leadership of Allen White, numbering about twenty men, went forth to meet the invader. Numbers were not estimated; it was sufficient to know tand his son had gone around a hill and took position there to cut off the retreat, and successfully was it done. Thus was this advance guard of the enemy annihilated, and the whole troop driven back. The next day, in their prowlings about Shaver's Mountain, four more were made to bite the dust. The country was too hot for the Hessians, and they made their way back to Beverly. This is an instance of the attempt to conquer a free people; and whenever the Yankees get into our State, they w

The Yankees were suffered to enter the stream and approach within 40 yards of our men, when every rifle was brought to the eye and death hurled into the enemy. Nine fell in the stream, and those who escaped that fire retreated and thought themselves safe, when the sharp crack of three rifles came from a cover on the roadside, and they were sent to their long account.
