--The Charlottesville Review, of Friday, says:
‘
The Albemarle Rifles, the Monticello Guard,
Capt. Davis' cavalry company, the Piedmont Rifles, (
Stony Point,) and the Scottsville Guards, have all been ordered into the field.--We deem it best to say as little as possible about our military movements.
’
The Scottsville Guards, with their baggage train, arrived in town about 5 P. M. on yesterday.
The company are a splendid body of men, and number 130.
John L. Cochran has been elected
First Lieutenant in the Albemarle Rifles, in place of
Dr. W. C. N. Randolph, appointed surgeon to one of the regiments from
Richmond.
H. W. Wirt and
Charles Wayt were made Second and
Third Lieutenants.
The women (we like this word better,) are working like beavers in the
Court-House and
Town Hall.
A large number of coats and pantaloons are already finished, and several tents.
They manage the tent-work without difficulty.
They are getting on beautifully.
John B. Strange, formerly of this place, has been appointed a Colonel of Volunteers.
Mr. Strange is a fine officer, and was long the principal of a military academy in
Norfolk, and for some years in
Charlottesville.
Our energetic friend,
Wm. W. Gilmer,
Esq., is making herculean efforts in this and adjoining counties to procure suitable artillery horses for the
State.
The Quartermaster's Department will not suffer in such hands.
Col. Fry has appointed
Thoms J. Wertenbaker as Commissary for the volunteer companies to rendezvous at this place, and
Wm. G. Fretwell Quartermaster.
Hon. W. C. Rives left his home on Wednesday to attend the
Congress at
Montgomery.
W. Edgar Garth,
Esq., has contributed $100 to the Monticello Guard.
