Boydton Calvarys Dashing Record in
War Between States

The Virginian's Boydton CORES
pendent makes the following inter-
esting contribution relative to Neck
lenburg's military forces in the Con-
federate army
Noting In your last issue That Cap
tain William Boyd commanded the
Boydton calvary. the only company
which went out from Boydton dur
ing the Civil War. ! take 1t that a
brief history of this company might
be of interest TO your readers and
also useful in that, as time goes on,
the facts relative to the war, its COM
panies, its officers, etc. become more
obscure and harder to get at. II is
important, both IN justice to the brave
mon who are gone, and for the sake
or accurate knowledge for the present
and coming generations, that facts re-
garding the war, and those who par
ucipated therein, be kept before the
public mind
Prior to and at the outbreak OF the
Civil War. there were two militia
regiments in Mechlenburg County,
known AZ the Eastern and Western
regiments. Colonel J. T. Alexander
was colonel OF the Eastern regiment,
and Colonel Thomas f. Goode COM
manded the Western regiment.
At the outbreak of the war Colonel
THOMAS F. Goode, who was at the
time a member of the Secession Con-
yentfon. resigned and came nome. He
organized the company known as the
Boydton Calvary, and as Captain OF
the same, led 1t from Boydton to the
peninsular, where the company be-
came engaged in active service.
RMS company was probably the
first company, certainly the first vir-
gfnia company. which volunteered for
the war. After one of the first bat
ties In which this company was en-
gagged, Colonel Goode. who was then
captain of this company. was pro-
m oted for gallantry

the inraF!able custom of saying her
prayers at night neglected them one
night recently and had donned her
nightie and crawied into her downy
couch when she was demonstrated
with by her mother. Readily and
promptly she needed the mothers ex-
rotations and prepared to obey. but
In teasing spirit her younger sis
ter tormented her when she went
down on her knees by tickling her
feet She bore up patiently for awhile
under the ordeal, but after having
repeated the greater part OF the
prayer she had ben taught, she broke
off suddenly and said with entire
reverence:

Another little Richmond chit, bright
as a button, had been unusually
naughty all day and her mother
demonstrated with her. reading her =

bad conduct.

cautioned the fond parent" mako q
special prayer to God to forgive you
for the naughty things you have done
today"
The young miss, crushed by the
burden of her sins. promised that
she would, and when bedtime came
around she danced joyously into her
mothers room to kiss her good night.
Did you ask God to forgive you
for being such a naughty girl to-
day? 'anxiously inquired the mother.
Yes. ma'am. I certainly did," re4
sponded the child. and He said. Why
