The Daily Dispatch: September 1, 1864., [Electronic resource], Flag' Presentation. (search)
Flag' Presentation. --At six o'clock yesterday afternoon a flag was presented from the south potion of the City Hall to the Second regiment of Receive Forces. It was the handiwork of a number of young indies from Shockoe Hill, and Mr. John H. Gilmer presented it in a speech of some minutes' length, at the conclusion of which he was loudly cheered. Colonel Thomas J. Evans, in receiving it on behalf of his regiment, delivered some soul stirring remarks, during the course of which he referred to the gallant part some of its members had borne in the fight which took place some time since at Staunton River bridge, on the line of the Danville railroad. Fine music was discoursed during the ceremonies of the occasion by the Armory hand, and every body was delighted.
