organized the Black Horse Cavalry, each
mounted on a black horse OF Black HAWK
blood. Who was the first commander OF
this company? Did Colonel Dick Dulaney
give the horses. as l have heardf was
there also a Prince William Black horse
Company and who were It's commanders
pucuorv,,iIIc Va l..
The Black Horse Troop was formed In
1853 Colonel Qhen Mr. Scott was dining
with Colonel afterwards GeneraD w. II.
Payne at tho latter's father-in-law's, near
Warrenton. After dinner Payne pre-
dicted an early dissolution OF the Union
and suggested the forming OF n squadron
OF cavalry. And So the young farmers
OF the neighborhood were called together
I'm Payne's office at Warrenton mot at
Waterloo, and the company was speedily
recruited and differed. Scott was elected
captain; Robert Randolph, first lieuten-
ant: Charles II. Gordon, second heuten-
ant; Alex. D. Payne, third lieutenant.
w. II. Payne was at the time on Cover
nor Wise's staff and held a commission
but, nevertheless. he Joined the company
as a private. From 1858 10 April 1861 the
company had nothing TO do but to meet
and drill. Many Of these meetings were
held at Waterloo. At the time Of the
John Brown raid the troop was called out
and rendered such services as were as
signed It.
On the nth OF April. 1861, the troop
marched to Harper's Ferry and on the
2Cth was recalled by order of Colonel
afterwards GeneraD Hunton to war
renton and directed to complete its or
ganizaton.
Colonel Scott having gone off to Ala
bama in advance of the secession of Vir-
Cinia and taken rank IN the regular Con-
federate army, w. II. Payne was elected
captain of the troop. He was the troops
first commander in war" and led it TO its
first battlefield (Nanassas), but in a Few
months promotion took him away from
the command OF the company. All the
members did not nave black horses, but
there were many black horses in the
company.
Colonel Dick Dulaney supplied his own
company-not the Black Horse Cavalry
largely with horses and arms.
There was no Prince William black
horse, but there was a Prince William
Cavalry, which was second 10 none. 1t
also formed part of the Fourth Virginia
Regiment.

TO the Editor Of the New YORK Herald:
Speaking again OF the authorship Of the
poem, Laugh aud the World Laughs
with You" y. Il. Valentine, in your
issue OF yesterday. says, "There can be
no question that Mrs. Wilcox wrote it,"
allow does he know? Was hc present
wnen she says she wrote it N 1855?
Valentine further says: "Why Colonel
Joyce claims it J cannot understand"
Colonel Joyce claims it because he COM
posed It at Louisville, Ky, for George
y. Prentice, in January, 1865, twenty
years before MIs. Wilcox thought about
81. Valentine again says. When I
asked Colonel Joyce when. where ana
,unde9 what circumstances he wrote the
poem. his answers wegc. TO say the least
of it, nest unsatisfactory" That para
graph Is no; true, and 'tNtzboodle" knows
it. / uaver met him! JOHN A. JOYCE.
