Mr. ––– gone to the prayer-meeting at Millwood, accompanied by
Mr. –––; both will cast their votes for Mr. Davis to be President of these
Confederate States for the next six years. We yesterday dined at “Mountain
View,” with the Rev. Mr. Walker and family. He has been called to South
Carolina to be professor in the Episcopal Theological Seminary of that State.
He will go, as there is no hope of his getting back to Alexandria during the
war.
Nothing from the “Fleet.”
