The Daily Dispatch: June 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], A patriotic lady. (search)
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Bedford. Bedford, Va., June 1, 1861. Much has been said, through the columns of your valuable paper, about the liberal contributions of men and money to the cause of the South, made by the counties of Augusta, Washington, &c.; but I think no county in the State surpasses the county of Bedford in contribution of men and money to the holy war the South is now engaged in. She has already nine full companies in the service of the State, with four others ready to respond when called on. The County Court has made a war appropriation of fifty thousand dollars, and pledged as much more if needed. Besides this, large private subscriptions have been made. One gentleman, Wm. V. Jordan, a private in Capt. T. C. Jordan's company, and of moderate property, gave $500. Add to all this about 2,900 votes for ratification and one against, and I think you will agree with me that Bradford is the banner county. Otter. Peake.
