[for the Richmond Dispatch]the Lunenburg Cadets and other things of interest. Lunenburg C. H. Aug. 19, 1861.
Notwithstanding our county has already furnished its quota of volunteers, the interest in war matters has by no means abated.
There is still a large number of brave young men who have not yet entered the service.
I am happy to inform you that Rev. Thomas Ward White, formerly Chaplain of the Howitzer Battalion, has accepted the Captaincy of the "Lunenburg Cadets," and is now in our midst busily engaged in enlisting recruits from sixteen to twenty years of age. He proposes carrying his men into camp at Bethany Church on the first Monday of September.

The largest house of worship in the city was crowded last night by citizens and soldiers, to hear a sermon by Rev. Dr. W. A. Smith, who delivered a powerful and very appropriate discourse.
The audience, notwithstanding the heat of the weather, listened with most earnest attention, and nearly all present seemed deeply impressed with the solemn truths so clearly set forth by the able and talented speaker.
After the conclusion of the sermon, Colonel Jennings followed in an eloquent address of about fifteen minutes, which enchained the attention of the audience, and added to the impressiveness of the occasion.
That well-drilled and fine looking company, the Richmond Greys, was present, and the good order and apparent devotion of the members were worthy of the brave soldiers of a great nation.
Last night at 10 o'clock, a bright light was seen in the direction of Hampton, and it is supposed th
