Letter from Western Virginia. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch] Greenbrier (Va.) White SulphurSprings, Oct. 7th, 1863. Having recently come to this county, I propose to give some account of my trip for the benefit of your readers. You are aware that the cars now run only to Milton, which makes some twenty miles rosecuting successfully in Greenbrier an agency for the college. You are probably aware that Gov. Wise earnestly recommended the Blue as the seat of a great Western Virginia College. I have been exceedingly gratified at the spirit of this people. There may be some Unionists in Greenbrier, but they are in a miserable moral aiment, say I. Never must Virginia consent to her own dismemberment. Never must she give up the coal, and oil, and iron, and salt, and the rivers with which Western Virginia grounds. Then were she indeed shorn of her strength and glory. The idea is preposterous. We must prevail, or be overcome. If we are overcome we lose ever

d this is specially true in the mountains. Certainly nowhere else is the autumnal foliage so varied and so glorious in its hues. Whether it is due to the peculiarity of the trees or of the climate, I do not know; but though I have often in Eastern Virginia enjoyed the scenery of autumn, I have never witnessed such glories as now surround me. Yonder is a tree which is not unlike a large bouquet. Its symmetrical form is varied with emerald, and golden, and purple. Methinks a giant need not deste this country they will not only meet a stern, organized resistance, but be bush whacked as they never have been before during the war. Fruit through this region is abundant. The soldiers here can have for the gathering what those in Eastern Virginia could not buy for their wages. Everywhere one sees the loaded apple trees, and witnesses the operations of cider-making and boiling apple butter. Nor will these sweet- toothed farmers suffer from the fall of Vicksburg. They have their app

As I passed the scene of the Dry creek fight, I could see in the trees and houses and fences the evidences of its spirited character. A very intelligent lady at the tollgate, who witnessed the whole, showed us where the different forces were stationed, and described the events with considerable navaid. From the accounts of prisoners the intention of the enemy was to destroy the White Sulphur. You will perceive how narrow was the escape when I tell you that the enemy had advanced from Callaghan's, blockading the road behind, and had gotten within a mile of Dry creek, when our troops came into the turnpike at Dry creek by the Anthony's creek road, quite unaware that the enemy were in such close proximity.--Had they been a few moments later the enemy would have passed, and probably would have accomplished their fiendish purposes. As it is, a few of them are here as wounded prisoners. Everybody out here expresses chagrin at the escape of the Yankee force. They had to open the roa

I am glad to know that the General commanding is determined to put the seal of condemnation of such conduct.

Letter from Western Virginia. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch] Greenbrier (Va.) White SulphurSprings, Oct. 7th, 1863. Having recently come to this county, I propose to give some account of my trip for the benefit of your readers. You are aware that the cars now run only to Milton, which makes some twenty miles more of staging to Lewisburg. Nevertheless one can make the trip from Staunton — by way of the Bath Alum and the Warm, Hot, and Healing Springs — in thirty-six hours. These watering-places, and especially the one from which this letter hails, present, as you may suppose, a striking contrast to their appearance before the war. Then, even out of the springs season, they afforded evidence of the gay crowds which had but lately thronged them; now, they vie with the surrounding mountains in a solitude which is painfully oppressive. For a couple of days the Hot Springs was an exception to this remark, being the scene of a large sale of personal property, the premi
