Kanawha Valley. Extract of a letter dated-- Charleston, Kanawha Co., Va., June 6th, 1861. Public sentiment is getting much more united here, and the large majority in this county will unite in defending Virginia. There is no prospect of an immediate invasion in this valley, and we hope to be ready to meet them should they come. There are now about 800 soldiers here and 500 at Cove. They are coming in every day. * In connection with the foregoing, we make an extract from the Kanawha Valley Star, of the 4th inst.: It is exceedingly gratifying to every patriot to hear staunch Union men, men who advocated and voted for "rejection" of the Ordinance of Secession, now express a willing submission to the overwhelming majority of the people, and declare their readiness to take up arms in defence of the unity and independence of the State. The voice of the people ratified the action of the State Convention in thundering tones that will resound throughout the North
The Fairfax Cavalry. --We find in a Washington paper the following letter, addressed by the Cavalry company captured by the Federal troops in Alexandria, to the Captain of the steamer Powhatan. It will be remembered that this company afterwards took the oath of allegiance and were released: Steamer Powhatan, Navy-Yard, June 6, 1861. We, the undersigned, now held by the United States as prisoners, desire to express to D. C. Woods, U. S. A, (acting captain of our boat,) our grateful appreciation of the kindness he has shown us. We hope that in his future career in life, those with whom he may come in contact may render his "times" as agreeable as he has made our sojourn with him. "May his shadow never grow less."
