Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. affairs in Mecklenburg county. Clarksville, Mecklenburg, Va., September 3d, 1861. News in Mecklenburg is by no means plentiful. The bountiful harvest, the extraordinary crops of corn in this section, your readers already know. The last County Court appointed the following gentlemen as a committee to superintend the Confederate loan in the county: Henry Wood, E. R. Chambers, William Townes, William Baskerville, Jr., Dr. Samuel. Saunders, and B. W. Leigh. Mr. Wood informs me that the prospect is flattering for a liberal loan. He says, that every one to whom he has mentioned the subject, expresses a desire to sell a portion of his wheat and tobacco for Confederate Bonds. The Secretary of the Treasury may rest satisfied that Mecklenburg will do her duty in this matter as promptly and freely as she has in furnishing largely over her quota of men for the army. Out of a white population of 6,777, this county has sent into the field

Wheat as a substitute for coffee. Editors Dispatch:--Being on a visit to the county of Mecklenburg a short time since, I was told by one of my female acquaintances, near Clarksville, that she had found an excellent substitute for that very popular and indispensable article called "coffee." It consists in wheat parched, ground, and prepared in the same manner you do coffee. Experienced and devoted lovers of coffee have tried the wheat and report it equally as good as the genuine article. The grains being of different sizes, they should be parched separately, and afterwards ground together, when the coffee imparts to the wheat its genuine aromatic properties. Two-thirds wheat and the remainder coffee make a most excellent drink. Truly "necessity is the mother of invention." Let those who disbelieve but make the experiment. We have plenty of wheat; who cares for the blockade? Pro Bono Publico. Charlotte co., Va., Sept. 28, 1861.

Patriotic Southern ladies --A correspondent of the Petersburg Express, Writing from Clarksville, Va., January 1st, says: There lives in the lower and of Mecklenburg county, Va., two sisters and one brother. Some time in June last the brother volunteered in the noble defence of the South. The sisters said go, and we will do the best we can; and what they have done is not to be beaten. They have clothed their brother, gathered the crop and taken care of it; wove about one hundred yards of cloth for the soldiers, and made about forty garments for them, besides taking care of and feeding all the stock. Such patriotism can never be overrun by the Yankee vandals, let them come as they may. I withhold the names, but it is certainly true.
