mond, and ] think their captains name
was Wise. They had come to the camp
TO offer their services and whilst they
were entirely too young for service, some
slight duties We're given them, so that
they should not be disappointed in their
desire to serve With the soldiers of Vir-
GINA.
l told the captain to post his two men
according 10 his own judgment, which he
did. placing them at the edge of q piece
of woods about twenty yards from the
wagons. About 3 o'clock an officer rode
up and told ME that the battalions were
ordered to move to the other side of Rich
mond. and TO fall In the rear when they
passed Whilst the negro tcamsters We're
hitchinS up the mules my young friend,
the corporal, came to me to ask what ne
bad better DO. Nobody had been sent to
relieve E.im. SO / told him to take his two
men and keep with the wagons. During
the night march the boys got tagged out
and hungry. so I put them in enc of the
wagons and told them when we got to
Richmond TO git for home, in which l
presume they did, for l never saw Or
heard of them after. have often thought

now living and grown 10 mans estate.
Should one of them see this article and
let me know more of the facts than
have related, l should be pleased to hear
from him.

The Company Of Boys to which our

CARRIED and uniformed as any other in the
Local Defence Troops Il receipted for its

question probably occurred in connection
with the march from Darbytown to Straw

was attached TO the battalion composed OF
the department clerks. ard which suisse

Nothing like this brilliant display has
ever been seen in this city. The pa

revelation Of professional wealth and
splendor. This stupendous display
engages the services Of over a thousand
men, women and children and fully
