The Daily Dispatch: September 7, 1861., [Electronic resource], An Oversight corrected (search)
An Oversight corrected Camp Barstow, Greeserter River, Pocahontas co, Va. Sept. 4, 1861. To the Editors of the Dispatch:--An article recently appeared in the editorial columns of your paper under the caption of "Huge, for Goochland," in which you mention, among other facts, that this county has furnished four hundred and fifty volunteers. You then make mention of the companies of Captains Guy, Leake and Harrison, of the Light Dragoons, and omit entirely to say anything about the companies of Captains Harrison of the Goochland Greys, and Captain Lacy, of the Goochland Byrd Rifles. The writer of this article does not object to any of the applause which is b s owe in the article above mentioned upon the first named captains and their companies; but, indeed, most cordially concurs in all that has been said in their praise. But this article of yours is so written as to make it appear that those three companies composed the whole force which has been furnished by the c

loss of so important a position, but has decided to occupy it. In pursuance of this decision he has thrown a sufficient force into the town and ordered them to fortify it. It is gratifying to know that the presence of his troops is acceptable to the people of Columbus, and on this occasion he assures them that every precaution will be taken to insure their quiet and the protection of their property, with all their personal and corporate rights."

organizing military companies within their territory, and by constructing a military work on the Missouri shore, immediately opposite, and commanding Columbus, evidently intended to cover the landing of troops for the seizure of that town. It has become a military necessity worth the defence of the territory of the Confederate States that the Confederate forces occupy Columbus in advance. The Major-General commanding has, therefore, not felt himself at liberty to risk the loss of so important a position, but has decided to occupy it. In pursuance of this decision, he has thrown a suflicient force into the town and ordered fortifying it. It is gratifying to know that the presence of his troops is acceptable to the people of Columbus, and on this occasion they assure them that every precaution will be taken to insure their quiet, the protection of their property with their personal and corporate rights. Dated Columbus, the fourth (4th) day of September, 1861. Leonidas Polk.
