ressed home upon me whether, after all, the Democrats of Virginia did not, in this great crisis, exhibit a higher degree of prescient statesmanship. Among the Whig leaders I distinctly recall William Ballard Preston, A. H. H. Stuart, Thomas Stanhope Flournoy, and John Minor Botts. I do not remember whether John B. Baldwin was a member of this convention of 1860. If so, I did not happen to hear him speak. Mr. Preston, Mr. Stuart, and Mr. Flournoy, as well as Mr. Baldwin, were, later, membeMr. Flournoy, as well as Mr. Baldwin, were, later, members of the Secession Convention of Virginia, but all were Union men up to President Lincoln's call for troops. Mr. Preston and Mr. Stuart were not only finished orators, but statesmen of ability and experience. Both had graced the Legislature of their State and the Congress of the United States, and both had been members of the Federal Cabinet --Mr. Preston during General Taylor's and Mr. Stuart during Mr. Fillmore's administration. Mr. Preston was afterwards a member of the Confederate Senat

On the 20th of May, 1862, the 2d and the 6th regiments of Virginia cavalry, the former under the command of Colonel Munford, and the latter under Colonel Thomas Stanhope Flournoy, who, being the senior officer, had command of both regiments, broke camp near Culpeper Courthouse and marched to Woodville, Rappahannock county. Onble to the right, we proceeded to cross the bridge. This was slow work, and too slow for General Jackson, who as soon as four companies had crossed, ordered Colonel Flournoy in pursuit of the enemy with those four companies. Colonel Flournoy promptly obeyed, and started rapidly up the turnpike towards Winchester with his smallColonel Flournoy promptly obeyed, and started rapidly up the turnpike towards Winchester with his small force (not exceeding, if equalling, 200 men), the companies being in the following order: Company E, of Halifax, Captain C.

ed two companies of having a quota, while the 1st had too many. In August, 1861, General Stuart permitted the Clarke and Rockingham companies to decide by vote whether to go to the 6th or remain in the 1st. They elected to go into the 6th, which was officered by Colonel Charles W. Field, Lieutenant-Colonel Julian Harrison, Major J. Grattan Cabell, and John Allen, Adjutant. Shortly afterwards Colonel Field was made brigadier, and assigned to the command of an infantry brigade. Major Thomas Stanhope Flournoy was then made colonel, and, after the Valley Campaign, resigned. Cabell E. Flournoy, who had been made major, became lieutenant-colonel, and John Shack Green, major. In 1863 Julian Harrison was made colonel, but being badly wounded the day he took command, at Brandy Station, never came back again to the regiment. Cabell E. Flournoy then became colonel, Green, lieutenant-colonel, and Daniel T. Richards, major. After a while Green resigned, Richards became lieutenant-colonel,

Thomas Stanhope Flournoy, Esq. --We learn that Thomas Stanhope Flournoy, of Halifax, is raising a company of Mounted Rangers, who will arm and equip themselves, fight "on their own hook," when and where they please, watching the movements of the enemy and pouncing upon him at such points as may be most assailable, and where most execution can be done.

thern Confederacy. I was gratified at the military fever still raging in old Halifax — although she has already sent some thirteen or fourteen companies to the tented field, still others are in course of organization. On Tuesday morning, Capt. T. S. Flournoy's company of cavalry left the Court-House for Richmond, and may be expected, here on Friday morning. They are a gallant set of men, and under such a leader as Thomas Stanhope Flournoy cannot and will not fail to make their mark. There leader as Thomas Stanhope Flournoy cannot and will not fail to make their mark. There is one other item and I will close — The interest manifested by the ladies for the welfare of our brave volunteers now in the field, is worthy of all praise. In the family in which the subscriber has enjoyed unbounded hospitality on more occasions than one, the ladies have determined to give to the volunteers one hundred pairs of good yarn socks, and have fifty pairs already knitted.

The speaker enchained the audience for over two hours in a speech of great eloquence and zeal. As a large number were unable to obtain admittance on this occasion, it is earnestly hoped he may be induced to repeat his address at some future time.

t the vicinity of the White House on Tuesday evening reports that the fields in the neighborhood of that place were literally alive with Yankee cavalry, placed there to cover the landing of Smith's forces from the transports. A cavalry fight occurred on Tuesday evening near Cold Harbor, in which Major Cabell Flournoy, commanding the 6th Virginia cavalry, lost his life. His remains were brought in yesterday and forwarded to his home in Pittsylvania county. He was a son of the Hon. Thomas Stanhope Flournoy, of Halifax. It is stated that this regiment was on picket at the time, and that the enemy, succeeding in getting in its rear by a flank movement, delivered their fire at a distance of ten yards. Our men maintained their fire until their ammunition was exhausted, and then out their way through, bringing off their wounded. We hear that Col. L. M. Keitt, commanding the 20th South Carolina regiment, was wounded yesterday. We were unable to learn, at a late hour last nig
