Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from the tenth Legion. Page County, Va, May 09, 1861 Page county will roll up a heavy majority for the Secession Ordinance, to be voted upon this mouth. In the immediate neighborhood in which I have been living, there were but two men who expressed any aversion to secession.

C., May 9, 1861. Sixty-Ninth Regiment. Dear Wife: I received your very kind and affectionate letter, and am glad to find you and the child are well, which is more than I can tell you I am. My dear wife, we are in a most wretched state with hunger and weakness, and bordering on a state of starvation.
