| News being received here on Saturday that Danville,
Va., was threatened by Yankee raiders, a company composed of about 100
men started {on the North Carolina RR} that
evening to assist in driving off the raiders. The company consisted of
about 60 men from the Navy Yard, and 25 or 30 from the other Government
Departments at this point, together with a few citizens. |
| We are gratified to state that the probability is that
the services of this company will not be needed, as the raiders have
been defeated and driven from the Richmond & Danville Railroad. |
