The Daily Dispatch: January 26, 1861., [Electronic resource], Citizens' State-rights ticket.-- Peachy R. Grattan, P. H. Aylett, Geo. W. Randolph. (search)
went to sea yesterday on another peaceful mission. She is ordered to intercept Government vessels heretofore authorized to go into Pensacola and prevent their doing so, in order to obviate trouble--first, by the attempt which the Floridians might make to seize and hold them; and secondly, as consequent upon this State action bloodshed and other serious losses. Before leaving Hampton Roads, however, she received on board, from the fort, two companies of artillery, under Capts. Vodges and Langhorne, a step which, we presume, is only precautionary. Schooner fired on by a Louisiana Fort. The New Orleans Crescent, of the 16th, has the following: Private Julius Elbe, of the First Company Chasseurs a'pied, came up from Fort St. Philip yesterday morning. He reports that at 9 o'clock the night before, a schooner came up the river and anchored opposite the fort; and that, being hailed, and giving no answer, she was fired into from the fort. They were unable to make her out.
Attempt to kill. --A daring attempt to kill was made by a negro man, named Abner, belonging to Col. Langhorne, on Friday night. One of our most respected citizens, Capt. M. R. Bohannon, in company with his wife, was passing the factory of Col. Langhorne, when the negro deliberately fired at them twice, with, as is supposed, a pistol loaded with shot. Fortunately neither the Captain or his wife received any injury. As soon as the negro had fired he ran off, but not before he was recognizemed Abner, belonging to Col. Langhorne, on Friday night.

Institute, and such drill masters as the Colonel of the station (Gilham) may select. On Saturday last the First Regiment of Virginia volunteers, or rather a large part of it, pitched their tents there, and are now enjoying all the delights of camp life. There are also a number of companies from the interior of the State encamped there, among them the Danville Blues, Capt. Graves; the Danville Grays, Capt. Claiborne; the Lynchburg Home Guard, Capt. Garland; the Lynchburg Rifle Grays. Capt. Langhorne; the Spring Garden (Pittsylvania) Blues, Capt. Luck, and a large number of other companies, whose Captains we do not now remember. Every evening a large number of the ladies and gentlemen of Richmond make a visit to the encampment, where they are permitted to examine the many interesting features of the military life. The large number of soldiers upon the ground, in uniform, makes the scene truly one of life and activity. Their hurrying to and fro increases this appearance of act
ch we recovered the next day. I cannot speak in too high terms of Col. Forney, that gallant son of Alabama, whose conspicuous bravery, leading his men in a galling fire, was the admiration of all;--nor of his Lieut.-Col. Martin, who, with the battle cry of "forward," on his lips, fell bravely encouraging his men. Nor can I do more than simple justice to the officers and men of that regiment, who seemed determined to follow their Colonel wherever he would lead. Col. Garland and Major Langhorne, of the Eleventh Virginia, behaved with great coolness under fire, and the men of that regiment, though deprived by locality from sharing as much of the danger of the engagement as the Tenth Alabama regiment, yet acquitted themselves to my entire satisfaction. the 6th South Carolina and the 1st Kentucky were, I regret to say, too much screened from my view to afford me the privilege of bearing witness, by personal observation, of individual prowess; but that the 6th South Carolina,
in the hospital in that town--148 in number. Among these are Capt. S. T. Walton, Co. K, 23rd regiment, and Capt. R. E. Cowan, Co. I, 37th regiment. The latter died on the 30th, one week after the fight. Captain Cowan was a high-toned and chivairous gentleman, and we deeply regret to chronicle the fall of so noble a spirit. He was from Preston county, and represented the county a few years ago in the Legislature of the State. We hear that Capt Buford, of Bedford, had a flesh wound in the thigh, which is thought not to be dangerous. Col. Burks, of Bedford, commanding the third brigade--composed of the 21st regiment, Col. Patton; 42d regiment, Lieut. Col. Laughorne; 48th regiment, Col. Campbell; Irish battalion, Major Munford-- had three bullets shot through his clothes, but escaped unhurt. Lieut. Col. Langhorne had his horse shot under him. The entire brigade was engaged, except, perhaps, the 48th regiment, which, with Marye's battery, is sold to have been held in reserve.
te energy. It is useless to say they did execution, for every volley of their musketry is said to have played havoc in the enemy's ranks. The last regiment of this brigade that was ordered to the field was the 42d Virginia, commanded by Col. Langhorne, of Lynchburg. When the sun was but an hour high, the battle being in its hottest state, the command was given to the 42d to "fall in." They were prompt to orders, and in a few minutes were approaching the bloody field on double-quick time. pon that dreary night, and apparently deserted by all these brave sons of the Old Dominion, they still stood and bravely fought beneath their floating banner. Seventy of their number were among the killed, wounded, and missing. The horse of Col. Langhorne was shot down on the field. But we cannot dwell here. We can but say to the boys of the 42d Virginia, "yo are the remnant of a well fought field." The Yankees did not pursue us further that night, but are said to have spent the night i
