Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the Louisa Volunteers--Presentation of a flag. Fredericks Hall, Louisa co., Va., May 11, 1861. The volunteer company, recently organized here under the auspices of patriotic citizens of this place, is progressing finely. It is daily recruiting, and will soon be a well drilled and efficient corps. It has more wealth in it than legions of Lincoln's mercenaries. Its officers are men of military education and experience. The company was presented the other day with a beautiful flag by the ladies, with the motto "Victory or Death." Rev. J. S. Johnson presented it in behalf of the ladies in a beautiful and patriotic speech to Sergeant Jas. Nelson, who received it and replied in a beautiful and eloquent manner, appropriate to the occasion. Louisa.
