The Daily Dispatch: July 10, 1861., [Electronic resource], The Revolution of 1861. (search)
The Revolution of 1861. From the eloquent address of M. P. O'Connor, Esq., delivered on the occasion of presenting a flag to the Charleston (S. C.) Riflemen, on the 4th of July, we make the following extract: A revolution the most momentous the world has ever beheld, and fraught with more of consequence and value to the dearest interests and welfare of mankind, the preservation of a well regulated liberty, and the perpetuation of free government, has, under the auspices of our devoted State, been begun, and is now moving on to its destined aim, like the head-waters of some mighty rive, whose natural banks can no longer check or confine its swollen and tumultuous tide, suddenly bursting over all its barriers, and rushing headlong with tempestuous current, floods and fertilizes with its refreshing streams our entire land, so has this great, this gigantic movement, risen and progressed.

The following letter, dated Hillsville, Carroll county, Va, July 4th, furnishes information and makes suggestions which not only capitalists, but the Confederate Government, would do well to reflect upon and turn to advantage: I find myself, for the first time in my life, away down here amid the hills of this Southwestern part of the State, and have been deeply interested in what I have seen and heard of the topography and history of this region. On my way I paid a visit to that most interesting, and now especially important region, the "lead mines" of Why the. It is to these mines we must look for those interesting missives that our brave boys know so well how to transmit in and to the cowardly carcasses of Lincoln's minions, when they can have even the half of a chance, and none, among all our troops, with more unerring accu

The Fourth in Halifax — Creps, &c. The Fourth was spent in quite a festive fashion at Oak Level, Halifax county, Va. --A letter from that place, dated July 5th, says: We had quite a lively time in our little village yesterday, 4th of July. The day was cool and delightful, and at eleven o'clock, at a grove near the village, a large concourse of people assembled, mostly of the fair sex. At half-past 11 o'clock, Capt. C. C. Anderson and his company of "Guerillas," numbering sixty-five, all in uniform, made their appearance in the grove with their band of music and two Confederate flags floating to the breeze. One was inscribed in rich letters with the words, "Our Fourth of July, in memory of 76;" the other, " Sic Sempre Tyrannis, Liberty or Blood!" The company was received amid the most enthusiastic cheers and the waving of handkerchiefs. The company then was drilled by Capt. Anderson in a manner creditable both to him and his command. After drilling about two hours,
