The Daily Dispatch: may 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], The man on Horseback (search)
Mr. Jackson, the proprietor of the Marshall House, in Alexandria, Va., who recently shot Ellsworth of New York, and was butchered by the Zouaves, of whom he was Colonel, was the same gentleman who cut down the Lincoln and Hamlin pole, at Occoquan, Prince William County, Va.,during the canvass of last year, and prevented its being hoisted again.

emy, and especially marked as the battle ground of this great quarrel. The enemy boasted his ability to throw two hundred thousand forces into her territory; Virginia meets this boast by the defiant vote of Thursday last.

They expect to come on Virginia soil, and profane it with their accursed presence, and not be "welcomed with bloody hands to a hospitable grave." We can tell them that Jackson, who fell at the thresh hold avenging nobly the infamous act of a piratical invader, is but a type of Southern millions, who are ready to die, if need be, for their flag, and who would count death a joy and triumph at any time rather than be subject to such a people. But dying, they will make their enemies pay the full cost of every life. On that certainty the invaders may as well base their calculations from the start. Our unerring marksmen will take down the leaders and officers at eve
