The battle of Dranesville, Va.
The first Federal victory South of the Potomac in the war between the States-fought before Christmas 1861, between five regiments of Federals and four regiments of Confederate Infantry. By William S. Hammond, Lexington, Va.
Dranesville, a small Virginia hamlet, is situated in Fairfax county, about twenty miles from Washington, and about fourteen from Leesburg.
On a commanding hill at the eastern edge of the village the Leesburg and Washington and the Le ille in other days was a recipient of the bounty that flowed from the old-time commerce.
With the passing of the turnpike traffic an unbroken quiet settled upon the village until the stillness was rudely broken on a memorable winter afternoon of 1861.
The roar of cannon and the rattle of musketry announced to the village and the surrounding country that the tide of war, which had rolled at a distance, was now right at hand.

From the Jackson clarion-ledger, December, 1907.
The famous boy Company of Richmond, commanded by Captain W. W. Parker—the Confederate Women— their encouragement and efforts were behind the movements of the men in the field.
In the Great War Between the States, from 1861 to 1865, the Confederate States, because of the great odds in numbers and resources of every kind, including recruits from Europe entering the armies of the Union, had to have in the Confederate armies every musket available in its defense.
It was a common remark during the war that the South was robbing the cradle if not the grave, and this was nearer true than is commonly believed, when we consider what is generally recognized as the arms-bearing population of the country, from eighteen to forty or forty-five years of age, even when in extremity the greatest drafts are made to fill the ranks of armies in wars.
The Confederate armies had in its ranks many boys from fourteen
