| White Sulphur Springs, June 12, 1861 |
| ***** |
| Today the second company
mustered from this locality, took its departure for Lewisburg, to
await the advance of Gen. Wise. This company bears the name of the
place, being called the White Sulphur Rifle Company. It had been for
several days drilled by Captain McCann, who commands it to Lewisburg,
where it is turned over to Col. Davis, who is recruiting for Gen.
Wise. Capt. McC. was one of the enterprising contractors on the
Covington & Ohio Railroad, but that
work being suspended he has given his services to the cause of the
South. He served in the Mexican war, and is a good disciplinarian. He
is a Pennsylvanian, but sympathizes with the South for the justness of
her cause, and rallies to her standard |
