Voice of the Virginia people.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.spirit of old Caroline — fine hundred men will take the field. Ruther Glen, Caroline county, Va., April 18, 1861. We are taking matters quietly and coolly up here. We consider the taking of Fort Sumter but the prelude to a grander exhibition on the part of the Confederate States.--When the news arrived of the surrender, &c., a glad smile lighted up the features of every one--even of the most sanguine reconstructionist. As Gov. Wise remarked, or hoped, the "terrapin" begins to perform natural locomotions; and, if Virginia has not lost all her reputation, we may yet hope to see her occupying her once enviable position. She can, however, as facts clearly demonstrate, never appear as the "guide star" of any Union, or any State, and many of those who have professed undying devotion to her honor and interest, will bitterly curse the hour that saw them in a waiting mood. We intend to send at least five hundred men to meet the coho

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.letter from "Oats" --troops off for the Border--a thrilling scene. University of Va., April 18, 1861. Last night was a night of thrilling excitement in the town of Charlottesville, as well as in this immediate vicinity. The news from Richmond was so joyfully received, that if any of Lincoln's myrmidons had been present, they must have paled and trembled before the mighty outburst of Southern feeling.--Captain Duke, of the Monticello Guard, received a dispatch during the day from the Governor, which had the effect of electricity among the students of this glorious Institution and the gallant volunteers of Charlottesville. The two companies from the town, and the two from the University--"the Southern Guard" and "the Sons of Liberty, " students, and composed of the flower of our Southern youth — appropriately uniformed and officered, turned out well, averaging about seventy each. The Charlottesville companies were full, and these, joi

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. Frederick Hall, Louisa co., Va., April 18th, 1861. Farewell to Whigs and Democrats, Secessionists and Submissionists, and political characters of every variety of hue heretofore. Farewell, forever! 'Tis now South or North, Liberty or Slavery, Life or Death. All, all, of every name and every age, to arms! to arms!! My father, go; my son, go; my brother, go; your country calls you. Mothers, wives and daughters, buckle on the armor for the loved ones; bid them, with Roman firmness, advance, and never return till victory perches on their banners. Let your prayers ascend as sweet incense, that the God of Battles, and of right, will protect them with His mighty arm; and, so sure as the sun shines in the Heavens by day and the moon by night, will our country in the end be saved, and we be made again a free, happy and independent people. Let the Governor call on the slave owners to furnish each, according to his force, so many able-bodie
