e gentlemen hold, defiant fronts, showing that the spirit of '76 was still alive, and that they were not unworthy of their revolutionary ancestry. It was expected that the military of the county would have been called into service during the week, but such a call has not yet been made. On Tuesday three young gentlemen from Richmond College returned to their homes in this vicinity, and burning with an enthusiasm and patriotism worthy of all praise, volunteered in the Powhatan Troop, and yesterday went into encampment with that company, under Capt. Lay, at St. Luke's Church. They went into camp prepared for any emergency, but if none they will return to their homes to-morrow. The Troop was organized about the time of the John Brown raid; numbers ever sixty men, and is receiving frequent accessions to its ranks. It is a well disciplined band of noble, wholesaled fellows, and under its efficient officers will do considerable execution in the assuming struggle. Young America.

Seasonable suggestions. We invite particular attention to the following timely suggestions of Col. Lay. We trust they will be carried out with promptness and energy. They will prevent a great deal of inconvenience and suffering among our gallant volunteers: To the Editors of the Dispatch — Gentlemen.--As a returned citizen of Richmond, I beg leave, through your columns, to suggest to my fellow-citizens here a mode in which, by raising a small fund, or by small contributions in kind,s of sickness, when separated from Hospital stores, might be added; but nothing should be allowed that is of weight, and would burthen the small means of transportation furnished for camp equipage, &c. If any citizens will raise such a fund, and appoint a committee of distribution--inviting also the assistance of the ladies — they will be cheerfully assisted by myself, or doubtless by any other officer of the army they may desire to consult. George W. Lay, Colonel in Virginia servic
