Elijah McClanahan, Esq., proposed to be one of ten to raise the money. Dr. J. B. Harding said he would be one of ten to make up $1000 to arm the county. Mr. Madison Pitzer proposed to subscribe $200 for the same object. A subscription was then taken up, and a number of other gentlemen subscribed most liberally. The ladies of Lynchburg have volunteered to do any sewing necessary to equip the troops from that city. They have already furnished quantities of lint and bandages. Rev.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.secession feeling — heavy rains, &c., &c. Campbell Co., Va., April 17, 1861.

Andy Johnson saluted in Lynchburg.his narrow escape. Lynchburg,Va., April 21 --Andy Johnson, late U. S. Senator from Tennessee, passed through here to-day on his way from Washington to Tennessee. A large crowd assembled and groaned him and offered every indignity he deserved, including pulling his nose. Every effort was made to take him off the cars. The demonstrations were first suggested by Tennesseeans. Great difficulty was experienced in restraining the populace. Johnson was protected by the Conductor and others, who begged that he might be permitted to proceed home and let his own people deal with him. He denied sending a message asserting that Tennessee should furnish her quota of men. B.
