From the Richmond Dispatch, 9/12/1861
Virginia Military Institute. – The Board of Visitors
assembled again yesterday. Present, the same members as on the day before, and,
in addition, Samuel S. Williams, Esq., of Shenandoah. The proceedings were not
of general interest, and nothing was done which demands publication. The subject
before the Board is, we presume, the best disposition to make of the institution
while the war continues, Professors Smith, Preston, Johnston, (the Manassas hero
of that name,) and perhaps others of the officers, being now engaged in active
service.
