The Volunteer Southrons.
We had the pleasure of an interview yesterday with
Col. Isaac M. Partridge, the gallant and accomplished editor of the
Vicksburg (Miss.) Whig, who is flag bearer of that splendid company, the ‘ "Volunteer Southrons,"’ of
Vicksburg, which lately arrived in our city.
This company numbers 110, rank and file, and is composed of as choice spirits as can be found in the land.
Its commander,
Capt. Moody, is a gentleman of great skill and gallantry.
One of its members is a son of
Capt. Adams, who commands the Federal squadron off
Pensacola.
Another is
Col. John H. Hobart.--nephew of the late
Bishop Hobart, of New York — who was Division
Inspector of the Mississippi Militia.
Col. Partridge was a
Major General of the same militia, and several of his staff are in the company.
Major Wm. H. Cowan, who is the
District Attorney of
Vicksburg, is also a member, having obtained leave of the
Court to join his gallant brethren in arms.
With such a spirit, and such materials, surely the
South is invincible.
