We insert the following extract from
friend at Martinsburg from which it
will be seen that the "hrave boys Of
taat town are preparing for any and
every emergency.
We have now four Companies ON
lot, we have a company Of Rifiemen
10 enrolled and uniforms already
ttsen for about so.
This Company is Commanded by
Capt j. Q. A. Nadenbousch.
| On Saturday night last Company
OF Artillery with two pieces of artil-
iery organized by electing Captain 4.
u AienTtis Captain, George Violet
1St. Lieutenant and George II. Murphy
2ad Lieutenant.
This Company starts with "a en-
rolled nsmes and a prospect of many
more If they scan take them, but all
that is necessary is to get the necessary
arms, artillery pieces etc. 1t bids fair
to be a fine company.
We also have Company of Cavalry
on foot LOT which John Blair Hoge will
be elected Captain when raised.
1nladdition TO this we have Com
pany of Old Men and some young
married mems who have connected
themselves with it amounting in all
over 100.
In all we will have probably 400 in
the four Com panies.
Our military men are upevery night
and ready for anything that may turn
up.
December 39th 1852
We are happy to announce, says the
Martissburg Republican, that on
Thursday Cavalry Company COM
posed of the right sort of material was
organized here under the most promis-
Ing auspices. The uniform adopted
shows the spirit of the company, and
reflects the spirit Of our people. 1t is a
light blue fatigue cap with gilt cross
.
linsey cavalry overcoat with panta-
Icons of the same material with buff
stripe.
The linsey is not only to be Virginia
made but Berkel ley made. This will be
the winter uniform, and in the spring
another Of lighter fabric will be pre-
cured
