The Daily Dispatch: June 18, 1862., [Electronic resource], Severe battle near Charleston. (search)
lergyman, sixty-five years of age, volunteered as a private, though the owner of an immense cotton plantation and one hundred and five servants. Having entered the service, the old man availed himself of every opportunity to do good to his comrades. Besides the regular duties of the soldier, he performed those of a minister, visiting the sick, preaching the gospel, and in a thousand ways making himself useful. When his regiment reached this city he received the appointment of colporteur by the Board located here. General Longstreet cheerfully released him from service, and now he is laboring with remarkable success, distributing religious reading among all the regiments of his brigade. He messes with the officers, and never comes into the city except to carry out a load of books and tracts. Everybody knows "Uncle Billy, " as he is called, and every one is glad to hear his advice and to read his tracts. It is indeed noble to see a man of such wealth becoming the servant of all.
