The Daily Dispatch: October 2, 1861., [Electronic resource], Transfer of troops. (search)
Transfer of troops. --The Mississippian, of the 24th instant, states that the State troops under Gens. West and Alcorn have been transferred to the Confederate service, and assigned to the department commanded by Gen. A. S. Johnston. The brigade under Gen. O'Farrell has marching orders. We suppose the troops stationed at Pass Christian, if not already, will soon be transferred also. Mississippi is fully enlisted in the great cause of independence, and soon she will have 40,000 of her bravest and best men in the service of the Government. She has not a dollar nor a man that she is not willing to give to the country.
