Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.things in Caroline. Ruther Glen, Caroline county, April 12, 1861 On last Saturday we raised a Secession Pole and Flag at Need wood. As the flag was raised on the pole, (65 feet high,) drawn to the top by Mrs. Wright and Miss Susan Peatross, our Greys (volunteer company) fired a salute. They are a very well drilled company, under command of Capt. R. O. Peatross. The rain this week has done considerable damage on the Mattaponi and North rivers to mills and bridges; also, on the Polecat Creek, to the R., F. & P. Railroad, which, however, is already repaired and in traveling condition. The news from Charleston is exciting, and many of our volunteers, I think, will ere long offer their services to President Davis in any capacity. We have some valiant soldiers amongst them. I hope Virginia will ere long be amongst the Southern Confederacy. Your paper is sought after here with great anxiety, and read with much interest.
