Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
military matters — the crops.

Charlotte Co., Va., May 21,
We have now an effective "Home Guard," and woe to the Lincolnite that crosses their path.

Old Charlotte has already furnished two companies, and has three more ready and willing to go to the defence of their native State. The two companies which have gone into service are commanded, the Infantry by Capt. Thos. G. Smith. Both are excellent and well drilled companies. The Infantry numbers 73, and the Cavalry 85.

The crops are all looking finely. The farmers have determined to plant large corn crops, and small — very small — tobacco crops.

Charlotte.
