This morning ninety-six gallant and chivalrous looking volunteers from Luray, Page county, under the command of Capt. Young, left in the cars, and Capt. F. W. M. Holliday's Rifle Mountain Rangers will leave in a few days.

F., of which he was a faithful and worthy member, and Captain Skinner's company. Another gallant soldier gone. We learn (says the Register) that our young friends, George W. Messick, son of Gessner Messick, of this vicinity, a member of Capt. T. L. Yancey's troop of cavalry, was killed in the battle of Sunday last, near Manassas Junction. He had, we learn, been ordered to make a charge for the rescue of some prisoners, when he received a shot in the head, which killed him instantly. He was a gallant soldier, and met his death like a patriot. The Rockingham boys. We are proud to learn that all the boys from Rockingham, in the late battle, conducted themselves with spirit and gallantry.--Not a man quailed — not a nerve that tre
