Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.war fever in Bedford. Thaxton's, Bedford Co., Va., April 21st, 1861.
I hasten to announce to you that the war fever is up in old Bedford; that we have today at this place raised the flag of the Confederate States, said the shouts of a large a concourse of gentlemen and ladies — the flag being run up by three ladies, amid deafening huzzas, after which the meeting was addressed by William M. Burwell, Esq. Old Bedford is all a unit, and will meet the invader with the motto, "We conquer or we perish!"
In haste,
C. T.
