RECORD OF THE OLD DOMINION
RIFLES.
TC0. H., 17TH VA, INFANTRY

This company was organized in Alex
andris, Va, on the 9th of December,
1860, under the following preamble;
The undersigned, citizsus of Virginia,
prompted by desire to contribute in
tho most effectual manner to the vindi-
cation of the bouor of cur State, the
preservation of the liberties and inalien-
able rights transmitted to Us by our pa
triot fathers and the protection Of the
lives, liberty and property of our fellow
citizsus-tOr the safety of which we
pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our
sacred honor-beiug also deeply i'm
pressed with the tr1lh that a we'll organ
lied and disciplined militia is the best
defense against foreign invasion, civil
commotion and lawless violence; in
order to further and cultivate martial
spirit amongst our people, have formed
ourselves into a military corps, and do
hereby ordain and establish for our
government a constitution and by
laws.
Early in February, 1861, the Alexsn-
dria battalion wss organized, and our
Captain, Montgomery d. Corse, was
elected its major.
On the morning of the oath of May,
1861, the enemy having taken posses
SION of Alexandria, surrendered to them
by the civil authorities, the battalion
took fla. cars on the railroad and was
carried to Manassas, where the troops
from the south were concentrating.
On the 10th day OF June the Seven
teenth Virginia Infantry WAS organized,
with NJ. d. OoIse its colonel, and the
Old Dominion Rifles became company
Il therein. 1t occupied this position
until the day of surrender at Appomatox.
On the Ist day of June the captain of
the Wayrenton Rifles Company r.,
Seventeenth Virginia), John O. Mari,
wss killed in a skIrmish at Fairfax
courthouse, being the fret southern
soldier killed in the war.
A large number of the men were on
detached service, hOnoraOly discharged
and transferred to other commands-in
number 93, thus reducing the effective
strength OF the company very materially.
During the war there wasone officer z.
and s wounded . officers k. and ! W. II
ptivates K. and II ". and 2 privates died
of disease, making a total Of 20 k. %
". and 3 who died-graud total IS.
Nine of the company were commended
for gsllantry on the field of battle. The
company was at the surrender at APP
pomattox.
The fighting qualities OF this band Of
patriots, most of whom were from 16 to
% years of age, we're of the frat order,
and they helped no little in gaining for
their regiment the honorable sobriquet
of "The Bloody Seventeenth. D."

WILL TRADE
IN SOUTH SEAS

Captain PiltA, VINO arrived here this
morning in the Hilonian, comes to re-
vive business that had long since
been abandoned in these parts. 1t is
no less than South sea trading in a
small schooner. Steamers and large
sailing craft choked off this little traf-
fic years ago, but Captain Piltz still
sees fortunes in it. AT any rate, he
was sent for by Captain Miller and
Eben Low to take the schooner Con-
cord to the South Seas on a trading
mission. The vessel is about seawor-
thy and will be fitted out for the
cruise as soon as possible.
The newly arrived Captain Piltz is
the father of Captain Piltz, of the Mi
kahala. He has been in the South
Seas thirty-two years.
