The Daily Dispatch: July 2, 1861., [Electronic resource], Official report of a Skirmish — Improbable statement of an Indiana Colonel. (search)
where we whipped them four to one, and they are getting a little more cautious. There has a large number of troops passed our town since the first of May. The greater part of them are from Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The Southwestern counties of Virginia have sent a large number, and our little county of Prince Edward has also done her duty; she has eight hundred voters, and has sent eight companies--one cavalry and seven infantry, and our patriotic citizens are now raising an artillery company. Two of the infantry went from Farmville; they were Capt. Booker's company, one hundred men, and Capt. Cobb's company, eighty men. Our town has a population of one hundred and fifty voters, and has sent one hundred and eighty men. Well done for Farmville. We will have plenty of men, if every county would do as well as Prince Edward. The ladies, too, deserve credit — for the last month they have been diligently engaged in making tents and other things for our soldiers. Alpha.
