Wise Mounted Guard. --This company, which was raised by Lieut. L. J. Hawley and Sergeant J. L. Capston, both formerly of Caskie's Rangers, will be mustered into service on Thursday next. It was first understood to be organized as fancers, but at present has not decided whether it will adopt that weapon or not. We trust that our citizens will come forward and give a helping hand in sending them into the field, if they require it, so that at an early day they may join their brave comrades in arms and assist in expelling Lincoln's minions from our sacred soil.
Presentation of a flag. --A beautiful banner (combination of the Virginia and Confederate flags) was presented to the Wise Mounted Guards, Capt. L. J. Hawley, by a lady of the city, a few days ago. This newly organized company highly appreciates this generous gift, and, with feelings of deep gratitude, will carry it to the battle field. The endeavor of each man, we have no doubt, will be to cover it with glory, and so do honor to the giver. May it lead them to victory!
