Patterson (search for this): article 1
The ball has opened. We understand from a gentleman who left Winchester on Tuesday night that Patterson had advanced from Martinsburg and was within four miles of Winchester. Gen. Johnston was anticipating an early attack and our troops were eager to meet them, and, in facts sent up shout after shout in token of their joy at the prospect of striking a blow for their loved South. There is also no doubt that the ball has opened at Fairfax Court-House, fourteen miles from Alexandria and thirteen from Manassas. It is said that Gen. Scott commands in person at Alexandria. The attack commenced yesterday morning, and a general engagement will, doubtless, take place to-day.

to bear — great deeds to do. For himself, he had not come to the office he occupied for its honor, but to share its perils; and when Carolina levels her bayonets for the last charge, he hoped to be with them. He intended to be where men bleed and die.--With superadded confidence and pleasure, he committed the beautiful flag in the hands of Col. Hampton, as the son of a noble gentleman, and the grandson of a gallant commander of "76." Three times three were enthusiastically given for Jeff. Davis, and after the band had played a fine air, Col. Hampton replied--"That, coming, as it did, from the hands of one reverenced and honored throughout the length and breadth of the whole Southern country, this flag, in itself demanding the highest feelings of pride and reverence, with brightest memories of Carolina clustering around it, was doubly valued. He would ask his followers to defend it." He asked them to "look upon its Palmetto tree and silver crescent"--then, turning to Sergeant Da

Presentation of a Flay. --A magnificent silk banner was presented to the members of Col. Wade Hampton's Legion, now at Camp Manning, on Tuesday evening. The weather was rather inclement than otherwise, but the soldiers having been disappointed Legion was formed into three sides of a square to receive the President, who appeared on a grey horse, accompanied by Col. Hampton and staff.

He told the Legion that the flag was the work of the fair fingers of the descendants of Darby, and Williams, and Campbell, the heroes of King's Mountain, and Cowpens and Eutaw.--Moultrie had first unfurled the flag of the Union on the walls of Fort Moultrie, and Jasper rescued it on the glorious day of victory.--He knew Carolinians on the bloody plains of Mexico, when they bore their banner, dipped in blood, from victory to victory. Here was another banner entrusted to their keeping, and before him stood the men to preserve it from defeat; and, like the heroes of Churubusco, they would hand it from one to another until the last man falls, or plant it triumphant on a conquered field.

I know you well — you must remember that you are the grandson of a patriot and hero." On taking it, SergeaSergeant Darby briefly replied, "that it was his pride and pleasure to be the bearer of that beautiful banner; that while life lasted it would never go down before the enemy, and if it did fall, his epitaph would be written on its folds." Every eye rested fondly on the silver crescent and memory-moving Palmetto, as the gorgeous fla
