Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
affairs in Blacksburg.

Blacksburg, Va., May 28th, 1861.

The Giles company arrived at Blacksburg on the evening of the 27th inst. They were heartily received by the citizens of the town, and quartered at the Olni and Preston Institute or College. The town and neighborhood provided amply for the company. A handler set of men I never saw, and the way they can handle a rifle cannot be beat by any set of men in Southwestern Virginia. Old Montgomery and Giles forever! They will send men and money, and her boys and old men, to support the war; and ladies, too. God bless the ladies of Virginia! for they are steel to the heart in this cause.

Blacksburg.
