Hanover Court House (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
h! Washington College has furnished our country with some prominent men; among many others are the following, viz: Our excellent Governor, John Letcher; Ex-Gov. McDowell; Hon. John J. Crittenden, of Ky., and Hon. G. W. Summers. K. O. Hanover. Old Church, Hanover Co., April 25, 1861. At an adjourned meeting of the citizens of the lower part of Hanover, held at this place to- day, for the purpose of forming a Home Guard, Rev. D. C. Harrison was elected Chair man, and Rev. J. BHanover, held at this place to- day, for the purpose of forming a Home Guard, Rev. D. C. Harrison was elected Chair man, and Rev. J. B. T. Patterson Secretary.

It was further resolved that the sections organize themselves into
Montgomery County (Maryland, United States) (search for this): article 1
e three companies referred to, under the command of their gallant leaders, Cols. Trigg and Preston, went off amid the shouts of the assembly. There were many tearful eyes and sad hearts in our village on that day — husbands parting with wives, parents with children, and brothers with sisters — yet they were given up cheerfully, believing that our cause is a just and righteous one; and may the God of justice throw a pillow of cloud by day and a pillow of fire by night around them. Montgomery county, although small, has sent off three companies of volunteers — the fourth is nearly completed, and, I understand, a fifth is in progress. And such is the enthusiasm and patriotism in our community, that a company of young ladies could be raised in a few days who are anxious and willing to go to nurse the sick and bind up the wounds, and some of them say they would fight, too. M. D. R. Clover depot, Va., April 25, 1861. A barbecue was given by the citizens of this place on W<

r masts and rigging, it saved her from ruin by conflagration; they have already commenced raising her. The Merrimac is probably more injured; but it is believed that she may still be turned to good account, Besides, she has 30,000 pounds of powder in her magazine, which, although under water, is yet so secure by being enclosed in copper receivers, that there is no danger of its being damaged. Her battery of five guns--one of the best in the world — was gotten up yesterday and removed to Sewall's Point, where it was remounted behind a strong breast-work, and will eloquently respond to any attempt of a Hostile ship to pass through the Roads. When a similar battery shall be planted on Lambert's Point — which will be effected in a few days — the Navy of the Northern myrmidons will be effectually backed down to the protecting beach of Fortress Monroe. The magnificent howitzer battery of the Germantown, consisting of ten guns, was also raised yesterday and sent to Richmond on b<

Thompson, 80 strong — as brave-hearted boys as ever burnt powder — the first to organize in the county — the first to enter the service of the State--left Fincastle on Tuesday, to rendezvous at Boncack's, in obedience to the orders of General Preston. Yes, left Fincastle, and left not a dry eye nor a tearless cheek behind them.--They left as we would have them leave, not with a senseless smile or self conFincastle, and left not a dry eye nor a tearless cheek behind them.--They left as we would have them leave, not with a senseless smile or self conceited smirk upon their visages, but with minds made up, ready to do and to dare, and if needs be die, in behalf of their proud old mother. Botetourt and Craig will probably send a regiment of brave volunteers into the field. Providing the means. The little county of Craig, on Monday last, by voluntary subscription and by the action of her Court, will amply provide, not only for the equipment of her volunteers, but also for all families that may be left in want by those who volunt<

h Section--Capt. Gibson, Ed. Sydnor, and A. G. Ellyson. The aforesaid committee was also empowered to call and organize the sections as soon as possible. The following resolution was also adopted, viz: That it be recommended to each division of this district to appoint a committee of five persons, whose duty it shall be to visit from time to time the families of all persons who have volunteered or may volunteer, and see that they shall not suffer for any attention or comfort. X. Sweet Springs, Va., April 24, 1861. Yesterday evening, about 4 o'clock, a flag of Southern Independence, made and presented by the ladies of this place, was hoisted, and is now waving aloft. As it went up, it was greeted and cheered by the patriotic ladies, who were present in a goodly number. God bless those patriotic ladies, and may they have the satisfaction of seeing the proud and noble principles represented by the flag they have presented upheld by their husbands, sons, and lovers.

Grayson, Ky. (Kentucky, United States) (search for this): article 1
pon this scene, we saw strong men, "who were unused to melting the mood," weeping like little children. Other volunteer companies are organizing in Smyth, and will soon be ready to follow the gallant Blues to the scene of action. The Grayson "dare Devils." The Lynchburg Republican, of Friday last, has the following: The Grayson "Dare Devils," after taking their seats in the cars, yesterday afternoon, preparatory to leaving for Richmond, were directed, through a telegram fromGrayson "Dare Devils," after taking their seats in the cars, yesterday afternoon, preparatory to leaving for Richmond, were directed, through a telegram from the Secretary of the Commonwealth, to return home, as they were not provided with arms. The "Devils" at the time were edifying the crowd present with patriotic speeches from different members, and were enjoying themselves finely at the prospect of speedily taking Old Abe's scalp; but when the dispatch was read to them a deep gloom spread over the entire company, and many a stalwart fellow was seen to shed tears profusely at the sore disappointment. The sympathy of the vast crowd was, however

alacrity to the call of their country: The three companies of Mecklenburg volunteers have been anxiously awaiting orders to march for several days. They expect to receive orders before we go to press this week. The Clarksville Blues, Capt. Finley, have been receiving constant accessions to their ranks, and their number is almost complete. The Boydton Cavalry, Capt. Goode, has also received large accessions, and will scarcely be able to accommodate all who apply for admission. The Chambliss Light Infantry, Capt. Baskerville, will also have a full complement of men, if the ranks are not already full.--And all will respond promptly to the Governor. Lynchburg patriotism. It would seem that there is no limit to the patriotism of the citizens of Lynchburg. In addition to the many instances of liberality heretofore noticed, the Republican notices the fact that John A.

The little county of Craig, on Monday last, by voluntary subscription and by the action of her Court, will amply provide, not only for the equipment of her volunteers, but also for all families that may be left in want by those who volunteer. We learn also, that Montgomery has made up a subscription of $10,000, to be used by her volunteers. A gentleman in Buchanan gives $1,000 for the use of the volunteers of Botetourt. An Editor's farewell. The Tappahannock, "Rural Southerner"contains the following announcement: The publication of the "Rural Southerner" will be suspended until a settlement of the difficulties now agitating our country can be effected.

Abe's knees to smite together like unto Belshazzer's, could he obtain a glance. They come from the mountains, the glens and the valleys, with rushing cheer, and woe to the foe which meets them on the field. Their admirable discipline, their proficiency in drill, and the zeal with which they spring to every command, tells more powerfully than pen can portray that they are alive to the exigencies of the times. The Dragoons, from Caroline, are really splendid in appearance. Captain Cary's command, that of Captain Wise, and indeed all, without exception, are of an order to make the military eye sparkle with delight. The main encampment is on the Fair Grounds, but Old Abe's cohorts will find a few of the same sort at other points. The ladies of the town, in large numbers, have been at work all the week in the Presbyterian Church, in preparation peculiar to their line of duty. Botetourt. This county is rallying gloriously to the call of the Commonwealth.
