Virginia (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 2
From the Northwest.[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Pruntytown, Taylor Co., Va., April 21st, 1861. Union sentiments are rapidly dying away all over this portion of Northwestern Virginia, and the people are becoming one in sympathy, one in desire, and one in heart, with a rapidity which is as astonishing as it is gratifying. I am not writing for sensation purposes, as I have certainly no desire to deceive any one. I am speaking facts, as I know them to exist, and as I have lh two or three, and more if found necessary. I see by the public papers that Major Geo. W. Hansbrough, of this town, and Capt. John A. Robinson, of Fetterman, are each engaged in raising a company. Major Hansbrough came to this county from Eastern Virginia nearly six years ago. He possesses a fine classical education, (a graduate of the Virginia University,) and is a lawyer of ability and promise. He is a whole-souled Virginia, full of patriotism, full of fire and full of courage. For severa

A very sensible gentleman, who knows the people generally in our county, assured me this morning that at least one hundred changes had taken place in Taylor county during the past week. Instead of the news of the secession of our State having strengthened the Union party--as some false prophets had declared it would do — it bids fair to break them down, or break them up, whichever you prefer.

For several months past he has scarcely been able to restrain his inclination to abandon his profession, hasten away from the endearments of an interesting family, and fly to the aid of the seceded States. Capt. Robinson is also a good man, and an unwavering patriot. Both of these gentlemen, if called into service, will make their mark, so far as skill, bravery and courage are concerned. But we have hundreds of good men in Western Virginia, and the patriotic fire is spreading among them like "the fire in the mountains." Had you, Messrs. Editors, been intimately and thoroughly acquainted with our people six months ago, and were you now to visit us, you would be astonished at the change in sentiment. The Unionists are dispirited, mortified, alarmed, chagrined, amazed. They know not what to do.
