ce more became a farmer. He was married in 1859 to Miss Elizabeth Miller Caldwell, daughter of James M. Caldwell, of Charleston. William W. F. Bright William W. F. Bright, of Pickens county, S. C., was born in Blount county, Tenn., December 19, 1840, and is the son of David and Jane (Key) Bright. His mother is a cousin of Judge D. M. Key, of Tennessee, and distantly related to Francis S. Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner. He was reared in Blount county and volunteered on August 13, 1861, as a private in Company E, Fifth Tennessee battalion of cavalry. Upon reorganization in 1862 his company became Company K, Second Tennessee cavalry, and in this he served to the end of the war. In the early part of the war he served in the department of East Tennessee, but from the battle of Chickamauga to the end his command belonged to Gen. Joe Wheeler's cavalry. He therefore served under that gallant leader from the fall of 1863 to the close of the war, taking part in the battles
rts and Prestons of Kentucky. His youth was passed at Lexington, Ky., and at his father's plantation in Terrebonne parish. In 1853 he was graduated at Yale college, after which he studied law, was admitted to practice, and traveled in Europe. Returning to enter upon the career of a planter, the political crisis diverted his energies to war and he became an aide-de-camp to Governor Moore. He entered the Confederate service March, 1861, as captain of the First Louisiana artillery. On August 13, 1861, he was commissioned colonel of the Thirteenth Louisiana infantry. He drilled and disciplined this regiment until it was one of the best in the service. In April, 1862, the effect of his good work was seen in the cheerful and ready courage with which his men encountered the dangers and hardships of the Shiloh campaign. In the battles of the 6th and 7th of April Colonel Gibson, after the wounding of General Adams, commanded a brigade whose losses showed the nature of the work done by
From Norfolk.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Va., Aug. 13, 1861. An immense crowd gathered at the Norfolk and Petersburg depot yesterday morning, to witness the arrival of a number of prisoners from Richmond. A detachment of the Richmond Grays were present to escort them to the steamer Kahukee, which was to convey them to the steamer Minnesota, off Old Point where they were to be relieved on parole of honor. There were twenty-three prisoners, including one woman, whose appearance betokened anything but cleanliness. During the passage, they conversed with our men, and spoke favorably of the kindness they had received from our people — Before leaving our steamer all shook hands with those on board, with the exception of one Surgeon, whose haughty demeanor implied a contempt of feeling for those around him. Having landed them on the Minnesota, our little steamer steamed for home; but she had not got much headway before a little incident occurred which, for

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Petersburg. Petersburg, Aug. 13, 1861. Since your late able and interesting correspondent, Mon Cour, has had no communication in your paper for some time past, and thinking that a few lines from Petersburg would not be unwelcome, I have determined to intrude briefly upon your valuable space, and inform you of what is passing in our midst — As is to be expected, Petersburg does not, in these times, wear her wonted busy and animated appearance; but houses that deal in military goods have been doing a very heavy business ever since the commencement of the war. Although we have furnished more than our quota of troops, the war spirit has by no means abated, and recruiting still continues very satisfactorily. The Ragland Guards, Capt. Manney, have nearly gotten their full complement of men, and will in a few days start for the seat of war. This company is finally drilled and equipped, and under its able officers will elicit a
The Daily Dispatch: August 16, 1861., [Electronic resource], Hospital supplies for the Army of the Northwest. (search)
Hospital supplies for the Army of the Northwest. Staunton, Aug. 13, 1861. The ladies of the "Hospital Relief Association" of this place, have undertaken the work of collecting and distributing hospital supplies for the army of the Northwest. Staunton being at present a prominent military centre, and a starting place for supplies and reinforcements, it is thought important to establish here at once a depository for whatever is needed by the sick and wounded. There are already many of these among us, and beyond us, and their number may at any time be largely increased. Our sick soldiers are suffering for lack of comforts, which we know their friends at a distance, and the benevolent generally, would be glad to furnish. We would, therefore, invite donations of such articles as old sheets, pillows and pillowcases, blankets, slippers, socks, under clothing, rice, barley, tea, sugar, corn-starch, lime-juice, grist, medicines, bandages, lint, flax-seed, arrow-root, brandy, w
