Though we are in an eddy outside of the great current, yet we are fully alive to the great events now transpiring. One company from this county, commanded by Capt. C. M. Stigleman, of 87 men, is now at Manassas Junction, and another company, commanded by Capt. Henry Lane, numbering 100 rank and file, leaves for the "wars" on Wednesday next. They go well equipped, and determined to maintain to the last of their blood and their breath the honor of the good old mother of us all. Two other companies are being organized, and will soon be ready for service. Our County Court has made a liberal appropriation for equipping these companies. Five out of the eight physicians in the county, and all the lawyers--six in number — have volunteered. The crops were never more promising. Yours truly, Jerry.
