A lad, hardly in his teens, bore a fine rifle, and as arms were scarce, Col. Davis asked him to give it to one of the men. He positively refused, declaring that he had come to fight himself, and sincerely regretted than the rumors were false, as he hoped to have decked his shot-pouch with the scalp of an Abolitionist.

Mr. Price, the member from this county to the Convention, applauded his resolution, and tendered him the hospitalities of his house, wh
