Colonel Marrow and I
dined with Colonel Smith, member of the Virginia Legislature. He professes to
be a Union man, but his sympathies are evidently with the South. He feels that
the South is wrong, but does not relish the idea of Ohio troops coming upon
Virginia soil to fight Virginians. The Union sentiment here is said to be
strengthening daily.
