The Daily Dispatch: April 23, 1861., [Electronic resource], The secession of Virginia. (search)
Salvos of artillery were beard from several parts of the city, and every "cologne of vantage," from which the Louisiana and Confederate States flags could be displayed, was improved for that purpose. Cheers and shouts rent the air, hands were clasped in exultant congratulation, while health and long life to Old Virginia was the ruling toast in many a social circle. The city presented the appearance of day of jubilee-- of universal holiday. A large and enthusiastic meeting of native Virginians was held at the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, last Friday night. It was called to order by Col. D. A. Wilson, who nominated the following gentlemen for officers of the meeting: President.--P. E. Bonford. Vice Presidents.--A. D. Kelly, W. H. Paxton, Chas. M. Massie, W. C. Lipscomb, Hon. Gerard Stith, Charles R. Wheat, Charles McMurdo, J. D. Denegre, T. L. Macon, Marshall Smith, George McMurdo, D. B. Bridges, Robert B.

the South, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, should rally to the support of Maryland.--If Lincoln quits Washington as ignominiously as he entered it, God's will have been accomplished. The argument was now exhausted. Be prepared; stand to your arms; defend your wives and firesides. He alluded to the momentous consequences of the issue involved. Rather than be conquered, let every second man rally to drive back the invader. The conflict may be terrible, but the victory will be ours. Virginians, said he, you fight for the preservation of your sacred rights — the land of Patrick Henry--to keep from desecration the tomb of Washington, the graves of Madison, Jefferson, and all you hold most dear. Three cheers were given for Mr. Stephens, and three for Jefferson Davis. The citizens repaired to the Spotswood House to serenade Col. Lee. Mayor Mayo appeared, and regretted that gentleman's absence; but having been appointed General of all the land forces of Virginia, he was then con

c: "Be it ordained, That the Governor of this Commonwealth be, and he is hereby, authorized and required to call into the service of the State is many volunteers as may be necessary to repel invasion and protect the citizens of the State in the present emergency, which volunteers he will receive in companies and organize into Regiments, Brigades and Divisions, according to the force required; and the Governor shall appoint and commission the General, Field, and Staff Officers of said volunteers, and proceed to have them organized and instructed. And that he shall immediately invite all efficient and worthy Virginians, and residents of Virginia, in the Army and Navy of the United States, to retire therefrom, and to enter the service of Virginia, assigning to them such rank as will not reverse the relative rank held by them in the United State service, and will at least be equivalent thereto.

Liberality. --We copy the following from the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, in the hope that patriotic Virginians may be found willing to imitate the example: We have already noticed the formation of the "Blodget Volunteers." The company was organized on Wednesday night. Capt. Blodget started immediately for Milledgeville --saw Gov. Brown on Thursday--procured from him his commission as Captain, and an order for the arms of the company, and returned yesterday. An instance of energetic work which does great credit to Capt. Blodget, and indicates that he will not prove an unworthy son of the man who volunteered alone to swim the Willacoochee, in defiance of an ambush of hostile Seminole. Capt. Blodget and his company will be heard of with honor in this war. They will be ready to respond to their orders in about ten days. In this connection, we cannot refrain from noticing the generous conduct of one of our citizens, who is not the man to blazon his good deeds to the world.
