The Daily Dispatch: June 23, 1862., [Electronic resource], article 20 (search)
d ought they to be of such a compliment from such a General! At the "Seven Pines" they were prompt to enter the bloody field in the midst of death, suffering, and in the midst of the smoke and roar of guns and fire with all possible coolness and speed. They were on the field Saturday and Sunday, ready to meet any emergency that might arise, and win such laurels and guerdons as real Virginia chivalry deserves. Composed of young men of high social standing, I know no corps to which I would entrust Virginia chivalry for perpetuation rather than to these. Young and valiant, they fight with determination for their beloved principles and to enjoy the free ægis of the Constitution. They feel the polities of their country, and believe them based upon religion and the most just principles of jurisprudence. The present Captain of the company is David Watson, and Lorraine Jones Lieutenant. They, with gunners Halyburton and Pleasants, are deservedly popular with the men. * * * *
