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.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Western Virginia. White Sulphur Springs, June 4. We have had a great many alarms here of the near approach of the invaders from Ohio, by way of Charleston and through Braxton and Nicholas counties. To-day all the rumors, except that of the crossing of troops into the Kanawha Valley, prove utterly unfounded. They excited a great deal of uneasiness among families, and a gratifying amount of patriotism among the men. The farmers and hunters in the mountains rallied most promptly with their rifles, and to-day a very formidable body of these men assembled in Lewisburg. A minister, who is an ardent Southern man, passed by to-day and assured me that there could not be less than two thousand men between Lewisburg and Meadow Bluff, all nearly armed with death-dealing rifles, which every one who bore them could shoot with wonderful accuracy.

aving retreated in haste, leaving behind him one thousand muskets, and other traps. We had supposed that the force marched to Bulltown from Beverly was intended to out off the retreat of Wise; but if so, this piece of 'strategy' has proved a failure." How thoroughly their army itself was imbued with this idea of trapping, and capturing, or annihilating Wise and his rebels, will appear from the following extract from the letter of a common soldier: "Sutton, the county seat of Braxton county, is pleasantly situated on Elk river. There is a wire suspension bridge spanning the river at this place. Col. Tyler here received a message that Wise and his force were headed off by Gen. Cox; he therefore made preparations for an attack from Wise," &c., &c.
