Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.reception of the news in Roanoke — the people aroused. Salem, Roanoke Co., April 13, 1861. We have just received, by telegraph, the intelligence that Sumter is taken, and now, at 10 o'clock at night, the cannon is firing seven rounds in honor of the seven seceding States; our community is in great excitement at the glorious result. I hope now that the Convention will send no more Commissioners to Abe Lincoln, but go out at once, and thereby redeem the honor of the Old Dominion. We are rapidly organizing the Roanoke Flying Artillery, and in a few days will be ready to offer our services to our State if needed. Dixie.
