fter the parade at the Hospital at 6 P. M., on Saturday, the men at the battery of the great guns were exercised by Capt. McIntosh, formerly of the Navy now under Lincoln.--The orders were executed promptly and skill-fully — the men at the several guns evincing that desire to excel which actuates our people, and is characteristic of them in all they undertake. There has been organized, since the vandalism at the Navy-Yard — or Lincoln's exemplification of his mode of protecting the public property--an additional Artillery company, commanded by Capt. Richardson, with Lieut. MacAlpine. They have yet no arms, and muster with boarding pikes — a formidable romptly and with energy any duty which may devolve on him. He is a Virginian and a Southern, as the ex-Governor would say, intus et in cute. There are two of Lincoln's appointees in the Navy-Yard here, under Commodore Forrest, who, some think, ought not to have been retained. The Ape. had several applications from this region<

ut, by that old tyrant and usurper and fool that presides at the head of affairs at Washington — in plain English, old Abe Lincoln. Sixcompanies of volunteers have already been raised in Washington county. The sixth company was raised in the lh hundreds of the citizens of the town and county, were present. The report has reached our community that Cameron, Lincoln's Secretary of War, had telegraphed to Gov. Letcher asking for an armistice! It is not believed; but if so, the requestonsidered an impudent, senseless, cowardly act. Our ladies, old and young, are down upon any such an arrangement, unless Lincoln will withdraw his forces from the soil of Virginia, and withdraw the call for 75,000 volunteers "to suppress combination Davy Bird, the faithful servant of the late Gov. Campbell, of this place, is extremely anxious to get the scalp of Lincoln! He says if he has half a chance he can secure the prize! Many of the slaves of this county are anxious to get hold of

, Louisa Co., April 29, 1861. It seems to me that every man, woman and child in this county is ready to go at a moment's warning to meet the enemy. Besides several volunteer companies, we have in nearly every neighborhood home guards, who are ready to serve their country anywhere, and at any time. An offer of a hundred able-bodied negro men has been made to Gov. Letcher, to do whatever His Excellency may ask of them. The colored people are as ready to fight their Black Republican enemies of the North as to eat their meals when hungry. This is the way our negroes feel, and old Lincoln and his fiendish emissaries will find themselves as much mistaken on this point as did old John Brown, who, in my opinion, was a far better man than any one of those now at the head of the Government in Washington. Well, let them come:the spirit of '76 yet burns in the hearts of our people, and the God of Nations and of Battles still rules among the armies of heaven and among the sons of men.
