BATTLE OF THE WHITE HOUSE. ID ohm s.
Gaaher, ESQ.,, of Jefferson county, a veteran
of the press, and formerly an active member OF
the Legislature of Virginia, has furnished the
Virginia Free Press With some "reminiscences OF
Companyof Rihemen to which he belonged in
1914, of its formation. and its march towards
Washing ton on hearing Of the invasion by the
British under Gen. Ross and Admiral Cock
burn. 1t had share in fierce little contest on
the Potomac, known by us as the battle Of the
White House, description of which follows ::
"On Friday evening, the I'd OF September,
1914, the company was marched to the White
House, on the Potomac, few miles below
Mt. Vernon, to join Commodore David Porter,
of the Navy, who had placed three six pound
ders on the bluf, In the attempt to check, on
their way down, the two British frigates which
had captured Alexandria. Tie preparations
were imperfect, the Commodore not having
been able to plaeein battery his guns Of heavier
calbre, or time to throw up protection to the
small guns On the left of this bluff there
was strip Of thick woods, the ground soping
towards the river, and here Capt Hum
phrey' company was posted. The channel of
the river runs close to the Virginia shore, with
in easy rifle shot, and here the Sea-Horse and
EuryIis trieates had to pass. On the morn
ing Of the 5th the wind sprung up freely, and
Captain Gordon and his feet set sail i; the
craft, laden With -four from Alexandria, keep,
ing we'll towards the Maryland shore, and the
large vessels passing within short range of our
guns. Upon these ships were poured volleyfrom
the three small cannons, whilst the rifemen
fired rapidly at tne men on deck and alott
and although it seemed like ludlcrous effort
10 make battle with small arms upon heavily
mounted ships, yet some execution was evil
port to the British Admiralty acknowledged
the loss of IS men on his raid up and down the
Potomac. AS an evidence Of the spirit of the
rlfemen, it may bementioned that some of the
best marksmen actually went down to the river
shore to get good aim at the men in sight
The showers of grape shot from the enemy
we're thick, fast, and furious, and the cannon
we're soon disabled by skislful fire from the
ships.
Here it was that the casualties to our COM
pany happened and view Of the woods next
day created surprise that any human beings
could live five minutes through the CALLING hire
which had scathed, as with the llghtnlng's
blast, every tree and sapling within range Of
the guns. !"
The Alexandria Artillery commanded by the
late Capt. Griffith, and the first Lieut.. Of which
was the late JohnD. Corse, of this place, we're
engaged in the fight, and Capt. G. and Lieut..
c., were both honorabIy mentioned by Com.
Potter In his official report Of the affair. One
or two of our citizens were killed in the battle
one of them Mr. Mutt and the other Mr..
Allison, We believe. Besides the Alexandria
artillery, other companies from Alexandra,
we're posted in the woods which were fred into
the British-amongst them the Independent
