The Daily Dispatch: may 21, 1861., [Electronic resource], Edwin Deleon. (search)
From Lynchburg.[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Lynchburg, Va., May 20, 1861. Military movements have been rapid in this quarter during the past week. Troops have been pouring in by thousands from all parts of the South and Southwest. In the last two days about 1,000 of as determined and savage looking men as I have ever seen, arrived here from Arkansas. If the Yankees could only get a sight of these brave chaps, depend upon it that they would begin to "cal'clate," and pretty soon come to the conclusion that legs were made to run with, by the aid of which they would soon be enabled to sing Yankee Doodle "on the other side of Jourdan," or rather the other "side of Bosting." From Middle Tennessee, another Regiment (the Second) has arrived. They are a fine looking body of men, and say they are in for the war. In addition to the above, a large number of troops have arrived from different parts of the South--in fact, the arrivals are so frequent that I find it im

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Affairs in Lynchburg. Lynchburg May 22 The warlike reports which have reached us during the last few days have had the effect to keep us all in a state of feverish anxiety, and to make the soldiers stationed hereabouts impatient for orders to march — so fearful are they that somebody will be hurt and they will not be there. Troops still continue to arrive. Among others which came in yesterday may be mentioned a splendid looking company from Franklin co, numbering 107 men, and commanded by Capt. Joe Hambrick. Gen. Joseph Johnston, of the Confederate Army, reached this city yesterday, and left for Richmond this morning. Another artillery corps is in progress of formation here. The Letcher Greys, Capt. Kent, from Bedford, arrived this morning. O. K.
The Daily Dispatch: December 5, 1860., [Electronic resource], Hogs. (search)
Hogs. --On Saturday last twenty-three carloads of hogs reached this city, via the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, all of which were driven to points east of Lynchburg. The drovers are asking $8 per cwt., but buyers do not show much disposition to accede to their demands. Some few hogs have been slaughtered in this city, which were sold at $8.-- Lynchburg (Va.) Republican.
The Daily Dispatch: December 8, 1860., [Electronic resource], Cattle for Baltimore. (search)
Cattle for Baltimore. --A lot of beef cattle, from Pulaski county, was shipped yesterday over the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, for the Baltimore market. This is the first lot of cattle which has sought this route to market from the Western portion of the State, but the communication now being so direct and the Baltimore market offering many advantages, large numbers will doubtless hereafter be shipped over this route from our Western counties.--Lynchburg (Va.) Rep.
The Daily Dispatch: December 11, 1860., [Electronic resource], Resulted Fatally. (search)
Resulted Fatally. --Wm. A. Jones, one of the men who was injured in the affray with Spotswood Rider, in Lynchburg, Va., on Thursday last, died of his wounds on Saturday. Moore, the other man, who was thought to have received the worst injuries, is still alive, but his chances for recovery are very slight.

and service they might be called upon to perform in defence of South Carolina. The number has since been largely increased, and, were it deemed imperatively necessary, the number could be easily raised to hundreds. We trust there may be no occasion for their services; but should such be the case, from our knowledge of the material, we feel assured that their pledge will be implicitly fulfilled, and that South Carolina will not secure the support of a braver and more chivalrous band.--Lynchburg (Va.) Rep. preparations for War in Massachusettsand New Hampshire. A dispatch to the New York Herald, dated Boston, Dec. 20th, says: I learn to-day, from the highest authority, that seven thousand troops can be put in marching order on twenty four hours notice, and that one hundred and forty-five thousand men are enrolled in the militia of this State.-- Of this number, twenty thousand could be easily mustered. Adjutant General Abbott, of New Hampshire, arrived here thi

Shooting affairs. --A few days ago Mr. Gilbert, of Pittsylvania county, Va., and Mr. Clement of Franklin, got into a difficulty at Dickinson's store, in the latter county, and exchanged three shots each, without doing any serious damage. Mr. Gilbert was, in some way, connected with the Witcher and Clement tragedy in the same house, some months ago, and Mr. Clement is a brother of the three young man there killed.--Lynchburg (Va.) Rep.

tion of my native State and her hostile attitude to Southern interests, together with the reign of terror that is now established on her soil, is forbidden, and therefore the only medium through which our friends heard of us the Blackburn Guards cut off. I beg that you will give this hastily penned geroll a place in an unoccupied corner of the Richmond Dispatch, the Southern soldiers paper. We are but one company of Kentuckians, under the gallant little Captain Samuel V. Reid, of Lynchburg, Virginia, in the Third Arkansas regiment, stationed here on the Parkersburg road; but feel that our little band is a full grown regiment within itself; and, fighting as we are, for our old mother State. our ancestors, their homes and firesides, if we are laid low in some of those rich Western valleys where hobbling brooklets lave the base of towering mountains, or cold and motionless upon some of the many beautifully blue-cornered peaks hereabouts. we will feel that we have died for our own

The infantry chosen for the expedition were the 6th Louisiana, Colonel Seymour; 7th Colonel Hays; and 8th, Colonel Kelly, or such of them as were in condition for a long and hasty march, with possibly some hard fighting. This reservation, however, is quite unnecessary here, as when the hour for starting had arrived nearly every man turned out. The artillery chosen for the expedition comprised six pieces, four from Captain Riley's and two from Captain Latham's battery, all from Lynchburg, Virginia. Thus organized, under the personal command of General Walker, assisted by his aids Captains Anderson, Surget, and Hartstene the expedition left camp, near Germantown. Sunday morning, the 29th. It will be remembered that the brigade had but a day or two before marched down from Centreville, and had scarcely gotten their tents put up again when they were ordered to leave them. Cooked provisions also were scarce, as General Beauregard's order was received only a few hours before
