The above, which we take from the
abingdon Fayinian, will be Of interest to
those Of our readers who were connected
with the 1st regiment of Virginia Cavalry,
during the late war, and especially to the
survivors Of Company X, of that regiment,
which company was composed principally
OF Marylanders, among whom were num-
Der from our own county. Company X
was commanded during the first year of
the war by Captain George r. Gather, of
Howard county, and afterwards by Capt.
Gustavus Dorsey, of Montgomery county,
Md. The survivors of this company who
may find it convenient to participate in
this ere union," we are sure will receive
hearty welcome from their old comrades
in-arms; and besides the good time" they
will most certainly enjoy, they will have
the opportunity of seeing, under more ia
yorable auspices, a region ofcountry which,
If report speaks true, is second to no other
romantic and picturesque beauty.
