John Letcher (search for this): article 3
The fortifications near the city. We desire to call attention to the fact that Gov. Letcher has been notified by the War Department that it will receive from him a regiment enlisted for twelve months, for the special service of manning the batteries in and around the city of Richmond. Many persons have objected to entering the Army in the ground that they would sacrifice too much by leaving home to protect the frontiers; that such an excuse does not hold good in his instance. They will not be required to go away, but kept here for local protection, should that become necessary. Though judging from present indications, they will have little else to do besides taking care of the guns on the fortifications, and studying the duties of the soldier. This is the most favorable chance that has yet offered for Richmond men to enter the service, and surely there should be no hesitation in coming forward to fill up the ranks of the regiment.

McClellan (search for this): article 4
aptured by the Federalists a few weeks ago and carried into the presence of the august McClellan, with an obstinacy characteristic of the true Irishman, he went into an argument as to the merits of the question of international lava and the treatment of prisoners as astutely as if he were a diplomatic agent; and that for more than two hours the Yankee General was so fascinated by his original says of conversation, he detained him for the purpose of enjoying his novel presentation of Confederate ideas. During his interview the jolly Irishman wore a palmetto tree on his hat. One of the Aids of McClellan, desiring to obtain it as a trophy, offered to give him ten dollars for it; but the gallant son of Erin replied that the palmetto was not for sale, and he would only give it by one who would receive it with proper appreciation. Shortly afterwards, having escaped, the palmetto was presented to a Maryland lady as an acknowledgment of the blindness he had bestowed upon its honest owner.
