The Daily Dispatch: September 30, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 3 (search)
igade. The offer was promptly accepted, but Colonel Cunningham was informed that the War Department was just then unable to furnish arms. With a patriotism which cannot be too highly commended, Colonel Cunningham at once ordered arms from Europe at his own risk and expense. These arms have recently arrived. They are English Enfield rifles of the latest and most approved pattern. With this unsurpassed weapon, Colonel C. proposes to arm a regiment of picked men from various States of the Confederacy and to give the regiment the proud name of South Carolina's greatest statesman. In the formation of this regiment, Colonel Cunningham will be aided by Major W. L. Blanchard, of Kentucky, a gallant gentleman, who has in him the ring of the truest Southern metal. With such leaders and the weapons we have named, it will be no matter of surprise if the "Calhoun Rifles" should establish for themselves the reputation of being, par excelente, the crack regiment of the entire Southern army.
