threats, condemned and sentenced to be bung on the 24th of June next. As to our military affairs, we are not lagging behind our sister counties. We have already sent two companies of sharp shooters and one full cavalry company, decided by experienced military officers to be the best mounted troop, as a body, that ever trod the soil of America. Before two weeks shall have passed we will have two more rifle companies ready for marching orders. The $10,000 voted by the county for the equipment of troops is not yet exhausted, and when it is, we have plenty more. As to our election news, our county is almost unanimous for secession--1,000 for the Ordinance and 100 against it. Kanawha county has given 700 majority for Lincoln; Braxton, Nicholas, Fayette, Pocahontas, Raleigh and Roane counties are all for secession. So you see, this answer to the abolitionists will rather astonish them. We are all tired of succumbing to Morrill tariffs and Northern exactions. Greenbrier.
