Organization and Departure of the  
W. P. Lane Rangers.

Saturday last was an interesting day in Marshall, The "W. P. Lane Rangers," having 
elected their officers a day previous, were ready to take up their line of march for 
the State capital, to offer their services to Gov. Clark, and to take what ever 
position duty and patriotism may assign them.  It was the first company raised in this 
section of the State for the war, and was made up mainly from young men of this county, 
with volunteers from Upshur, Cass, and Panola.  Their ages would range from 18 to 25; 
young, vigorous, and enthusiastic.  A finer body will not be presented to the State.  
Nearly every family in this community sends a representative in this company.  The 
hearts of our people go with them.  The Republican office furnished three of these 
volunteers, Messrs. Chambers and Elgin, and a son of the proprietor, R. W. Loughery, 
Jr. 

The presentation of the Flag of the Confederate States, presented an interesting and 
imposing scene.  The entire population of Marshall, with hundreds from the vicinity, 
were congregated at an early hour on the public square.  The Rangers on horseback, 
and ready to take their departure, were drawn up into line.  The Marshall Guards, 
under Capt. Bass, a company that expects to take up its line of march for the east 
in a few days, was marched to the right, fronting the Rangers.  Miss Sallie O. Smith, 
had been selected to deliver the Flag, in behalf of the Ladies of Marshall, and Mr. 
Theodore Holcomb, by the Rangers to receive it.  Miss Smith was beautifully and 
tastefully attired, and rode an elegant milk white steed.  She presented a model of 
ease, grace, and loveliness, and as accompanied by her escort, she took her position, 
a thrill of admiration pervaded the concourse assembled to witness the scene.  Her 
address was admirably delivered.  Her voice was clear and musical, rendered the more 
harmonious by the sensibility with which her words were conveyed.  We append the 
correspondence and the address.

The "Bass Grays."

On Monday morning this company left for Col. M. L. Locke's encampment at the Chalibeate
Springs, in Upshur county.  On Saturday evening a flag was presented them by the ladies 
of Marshall, through Hon. C. A. Frazer, who made a very sensible, well-timed, practical, 
patriotic speech, which was responded to, in behalf of the Company, by Mr. S. Lassiter, 
whose effort has been highly spoken of by those who heard it.  Judge Frazer expressed his 
gratification at the course pursued by the Governor in ordering all the troops likely to 
be called into active service into encampments.  In his opinion, it was the best and most 
sensible move that had yet been made. . ..
