Mistake correcfed!-The N. Y. Courier, in comment.
ing on a letter addressed to il by Mr.. Felix Hus:on, makes
The following statement:
Shave, and hish spirited, and warlike as they (the People of tho
ID to a detachment Of United States troops from Old Point Comfort
o. airesti"g the progress of an indiscrimInste mass ere, which had
ready involved the lives Of between ono and two hundred innocent
women and children"
The Courier is mistaken. II il true, that in the first
OF panic, some OF the citizens OF Southampton did
rall for the u. ). troops at Old Point. II is equally true,
that the officers, with a commendable alacrity, marched 10
The point OF the insurreciien. And il is also true, that the
Government at Washington, when called on by a petition
from a few OF the people OF the county, offered TO the Co
vernon OF Virginia, to place a stationary guard, sc. SC.
which the Governor most promptly and properly declined.
Bat il is equally true, that before the U. ). troops from
Old Point could reach Southampton, the insurrection was
quelled by The militia of the place, and all the danger
over. We recolect to have heard, that cbivalric ofi-
Colonel Worth, who commanded the de- achment, saw,
with his fine, flashing eye: " Sir, the danger was over,
when we arrived-and l rejoiced at it, for the honor oil the
nllitia-and of the good Old Dominion"
