The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1903-08-02

SO much to our old soldiers, but 1t shows
that, even In childhood, our youthful
hearts were stirred by the pomp and
parade of (mimicD war, imbued with the
martial spirit of our revolutionary fore
ia Tiers, a spirit destined to be so glo-
riously developed in coming years, and
1t is associated with this old tree. for
again I stood under 1t, surrounded by
the friends of my youth, In the full flush
of early manhood, where, on the twenty
fifth of April 1861, the original Howitzer
Company, It's ranks swelled Into the hum
dreds by the patriotic rush to arms OF
our Richmond boys, formed In semi-circle
around the old Courthouse, and was mus
tered into the service of the State for
one year by Inspector-General Col. John
b. Baldwin,. CAS- we were first called into
active service on the 2lst. the day of the
"Pawnee war" our enlistment counted
from that date.) There was at least ono
other tree. but so much Injured by the
burning of the Courthouse at the evacua-
ton, that 1t became an unsightly trunk,
and was removed few years ago. There
were still others in that southeast corner,
but the one still remembered by the
old boys Ia the grandest of all. the stricken
Poplar, shattered by a double bolt of
lightning on the afternoon Of the Fourth
o. July. last.

panies. and 1t is from the lists of these
