nded by Capt. W. C. Muegrove, of the Burke Guards, and Capt.--. They are all eager for a fight, and willing to sacrifice the life of each man in defence of Southern rights, if required. We have not as yet been attacked, or had occasion to measure arms or exchange shots with our enemy. Our market is bountifully supplied with green peas, strawberries, soft crabs, and other luxuries of the season, and all selling at moderate prices. Owing to the blockade made upon us by the authority of Lincoln, our Northern friends will be cut off from enjoying these luxuries s they have done heretofore. They will now perceive, particularly those fond of good living, what the rash and precipitous acts of themselves have brought them to. Here we have everything that an epicure even might desire, and that at the lowest prices, because, in consequence of the blockade, our truckers are debarred the privilege of sending their produce to a Northern market. Green peas in abundance at only $1.50 per bu

other, "Louisiana is our home — her cause is ours."The graceful wreaths of sugar cane and cotton plant around these glowing words gave them a striking and beautiful effect. This is the third detachment of Southern troops that has passed on to Lynchburg, and "the cry is still they come." To-morrow 1,000 Tennesseeans are expected, and during the coming week several thousand more from Alabama and Georgia. Thus the glorious Southern column is moving to drive back the vandal hordes of Abraham Lincoln. Yes, let them come.! We defy them and their worse than savage threats.--The people throughout this whole country are becoming thoroughly aroused. "Little Roanoke" don't intend to be behind-hand in the patriotic cause. She will send four, perhaps five, volunteer companies. The Salem Flying Artillery, seventy-five strong, and composed of some of the best material in the county, are rapidly preparing for active service. They are commanded by Capt. Hupp; Heary E. Blair, 1st Lieutenan

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the women of the Southwest. Southwestern Virginia, May 4, 1861. We have felt surprised that the sentiment expressed by a lady in Southwestern Virginia, "that she had rather be the widow of a brave man than the wife of a coward," should have created so much sensation. We had hoped that Virginians at least knew us well enough to know that that was the sentiment of every true woman among us. Our husbands are brave men, and will spill every drop of blood in their veins before they will be subjugated; and if our men are all killed, the women and children will take their places. We cannot be conquered by Lincoln and his vile rabble — we will die first. These are the sentiments of the wives and mothers of Southwestern Virginia.

r. Russell is now at the South: Without the means of enforcing an authority which many of its own adherents, and most of the neutral parties, denied to it, Mr. Lincoln's Administration finds itself called upon to propound a policy and to proceed to vigorous action. The demand is scarcely reasonable. The policy of such men sury act it will surrender nothing whatever.--No matter what reports may appear in the papers, or in letters, distrust them if they would lead you to believe that Mr. Lincoln is preparing either to abandon what he has now, or to recover that which he has not. The United States Government is in an attitude of protest; it cannot sons. But their existence indicates the strong military tendencies of the people, and the danger of doing anything that might turn them against the Government.--Mr. Lincoln has no power to make war against the South; the Congress alone could give it to him; and that is not likely to be given, because Congress will not be assembled

ot believe such troops will be found very formidable, when met by men fighting for their homes, property and families. Today our streets have been filled with rumors that Jeff. Davis had taken Washington, and had got "Old Abe" as a prisoner of war. I hope it will prove true, for then I hope we may have peace, and a Government that will give equal rights to all sections of our once glorious Union. I am glad to see Tennessee erotising, Virginia out, and other Southern States refusing to aid Lincoln. This is as I predicted long ago, It ought to have been long ago, and then war would have been stayed a while at least, " but better late than never." The Mobile News publishes a letter from Pensacola, dated April 30th, giving an account of the adventures of two men who deserted from Fort Pickens. We copy a portion of the letter : They say many wish to desert, and only await an opportunity; that the officers are very suspicious, and watch every movement of soldiers and sai
