The Daily Dispatch: May 25, 1861., [Electronic resource], A brave Boy. (search)
county we hear of only two or three "cold-bloods" who cry, "Give up all for peace!" but they are of that weak-kneed, faint-hearted class which forms the exception to the general rule of Southern character. A fine volunteer company, under command of Capt. B. T. Taylor, has been recently organized, and is now fully equipped for active service. A cavalry company has been also formed, and will be commanded by Capt. Fielding Lewis, a brave and efficient officer. The militia of the county have been furnished with arms, and are regularly drilled. The Montross Guards, from Westmoreland, under orders from Gen. Ruggles, reached the county last Wednesday, and went into barracks at King George Court-House; but they were on Saturday remanded to their old quarters at Montross. A Yankee straggler was taken up some days since near Clifton, in this county, and failing to give a good account of himself, he was lodged in jail, where he awaits "further orders."Sic semper. Rehab.
