Young ladies' Sewing Circle. --The young ladies of Grace St. Baptist Church organized, a little more than a year ago, themselves into a Sewing Circle, in order to raise funds for religious purposes. They raised some $500 the first year, and appropriated it to the support of a Colporteur in this city, whose inborn were, to some extent, instrumental in the establishment of the Clay Street Baptist Church. This year they are supporting a Colporteur (Rev. R. Lewis) in Wythe and Tazewell counties. Rev. Mr. Lewis reports having visited, during the past month, 374 families, with 84 of whom he prayed, distributed $31 worth of books, and delivered five sermons. The efforts of the ladies to send the Gospel to the destitute are very praise worthy.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.election in Wythe — all for Secession — military matters — a tall Captain, &c. Wytheville, Va. May 23, 1861. W. H. Cooke is elected to the House by a large majority over Col. Graham, our late Representative. Everything passed off quietly, I am proud to say; at the two precincts heard from not a Union vote was given, and I pray this may be the case, not only in our county, but throughout the State. Seeing that we are determined to be free from the regime of Old Abe, our county has done well in this glorious struggle, and will do more. Already she has her "Grays" at Harper's Ferry, with some three or four more companies ready in a few days to do valiant service in the cause. Captain John Buchanan (no relation of the Ex-James; oh, no, the Captain is a gentleman and a patriot,) has a fine company; Captain Jackson Grayson, of Bland county, one of the best in the State; and last, though not least, one of the finest companies of young men<

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Wythe county. Wytheville, Va., May 25th, 1861. The following is the result of the election held in this county on Thursday last. The vote is larger than on any previous occasion, when we take into consideration the number of our citizens who have left for the seat of war: For ratification, 1,409; for amendment Constitution 1,393; against it, 1. W H. Cook, Legislature, 982; James Graham, Legislature, 358--Cook's majority 624. The solitary vote east against secession was polled at Poplar Camp, by an individual who had a load of bald-face Ohio whiskey on, which sent an unusual amount of Unionism to his head, as he is known here as employed making lead pills for Yankees at the mines there. Since my last, large numbers of troops have passed over our road; scarce a day passes that five hundred or better are not regaled by our citizens on the best our county affords, and the cry is "still they come." Well, let them come; we
