The Fallen brave.
Richmond, Va., May 18th, 1862 To the Editors of the Dispatch:
With painful feelings do we chronicle the death of a brave and gallant martyr; yet with the stings of deep and bitter sorrow, attending the memory of him whose fall we deplore, it is with pride that we endeavor to render feeble justice to one to whom all honor is due.
While each day that passes away on the underlaying pinions of Time shrouds our country in mourning for cherished sons, victims to the leaden bullet or the virus of disease, our hearts are brought to lament the fall of none more patriotic and gallant than 2d Senior Lieutenant Wm. H. Gregory, co. K, 23d regiment Virginia volunteers, who fell mortally wounded in the late severe battle near McDowell.
Young, brave, and talented, the future was full of promise.
Ever zealous in the cause of freedom and justice, when the dark clouds of war hovered over our fair land he was among the first to step forth in her defence.
Having end

Gallantry in battle.
Army Hospital, Charlottesville, May 18th, 1862 To the Editors of the Dispatch:
Allow me through the medium of your most excellent paper, to make mention of the daring bravery of J. Pinkney Waddy, ensign of the 23d Virginia regiment.
During the recent battle at McDowell, and while the fire of the enemy was at its hottest, he was ordered to advance with his colors twenty yards in front of the regiment, With unfaltering step and unflinching courage he marched boldly forward, (accompanied only by the color-guard, Messrs, Moss and Waish,) within a short distance of an enraged foe, Strange to say, he escaped uninjured, but both of his guard were seriously wounded while in this perilous position.
The conduct of Mr. Waddy was taken admired by both officers and men. Too high cannot be lavished upon the cool and determined courage of this gallant young officer.
George T. Waddy, Sergeant Major of the 183 regiment, was not wounded, as has since User repo
