[from the Charleston Mercury.]war declared!the Act of Congress in full. Montgomery, Ala. May 6, 1861. The following Act has been passed by the Congress of the Confederate States in secret session. The injunction of secrecy has been removal therefrom: An Act Recognizing the Existence of war between the United States and the Confederate States, and Containing letters of Marque, Prizes and Prize Goods: Whereas, The earnest efforts made by this Government to establish friendly relations between the Government of the United States and the Confederate States, and to settle all question of disagreement between the two Governments upon principles of right, justice, equity and good faith, have proved unavailing by reason of the refusal of the Government of the United States to hold any intercourse with the Commissioners appointed by this Government for the purposes aforesaid, or to listen to any proposal they had to make for the peaceful solution of all causes of difficultie
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Rockbridge. Lexington, Va., May 6th, 1861. In consequence of the promotion of Capt. McCausland, of our Artillery company, to the post of Lieut. Colonel of volunteers, the company unanimously elected the Rev'd Dr. Pendleton as Captain, and he promptly accepted. Dr. Pendleton is the Rector of the Episcopal Church in this place, and being a graduate of West Point and having served several years in the Army, is eminently qualified for the post. This company is now complete, and is armed and equipped and ready to march at short notice. A neat flag was presented to this company on Friday last by the ladies. The presentation was made by James D. Davidson, Esq., and it was received by the Captain and Sergeant J. C. Davis, both of whom responded to the brief, stirring speech of Mr. Davidson in most appropriate terms. The annual muster of the Eighth Regiment of Militia took place the same day — this regiment embraces the one-h
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Albemarle county. Charlottesville, May 6, 1861. At a meeting of the citizens of Albemarle county held to-day, (Court day) Thomas Wood, Esq. was unanimously nominated for the House of Delegates. He served in the Legislature at the recent called session, and is an ardent, determined Secessionist and States-Rights man. Mr. Wood accepted the nomination, and pledged his services, his fortune and his life to Virginia and the South. The following resolution, offered by E. R. Watson and recorded by R. H. Carter, Esq., was also unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the County Court of Albemarie be earnestly requested to appropriate not less than $50,000 for the purpose of equipping her citizens for the defence of the State, or to be applied in any other way which the Court may deem expedient, and which may be authorized by law.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Rockingham. Harrisonburg, Va., May 6, 1861. A calm, determined spirit is depicted upon the countenance of our people to stand by the flag of Virginia, in this the hour of her peril and tribulation. Nothing of the vapid excitement we read of in the Northern sensation papers — no frothy excitement — but the calm, inflexible determination of a free people to be forever free. Such a people are a dangerous people to an enemy. No danger of a sacrifice of the honor of the South from such hands. Our town is quiet, and the numbers gone to war have contributed to make it so. Business has dwindled down to an insignificant figure. Garland Dunn, a gentleman of high respectability, committed suicide by hanging on Thursday morning last, at his residence, at the foot of the mountain dividing Rockingham and Greene counties. He lived just inside of Greene county. He was near sixty years of age. Men from here are yet wending

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.letter from Missouri. High Hill, Mo., May 6, 1861. Previous to the taking of Fort Sumter, I considered Missouri sold to the Black Republican party, but the Proclamation of Lincoln, the secret removal of the State arms from Jefferson Barracks, followed by the refusal of Gov. Jackson to furnish the required regiments, has produced a considerable change, and strong hopes are now entertained that this State will go out very soon; in short, many of the Black Republicans now admit the fact, and are making arrangements to leave the State. The vote for Speaker of the called Legislature has nearly confirmed that belief. Five regiments of Germans and Abolitionists have been formed in St. Louis, and will soon be off for the headquarters at Washington, done, it is said, as a rebuke to Gov. Jackson. From what I learn from the True American, it is regarded as a favorable omen for the cause of the South, thereby weakening the strength of the Bl
