a, full of patriotism, full of fire and full of courage. For several months past he has scarcely been able to restrain his inclination to abandon his profession, hasten away from the endearments of an interesting family, and fly to the aid of the seceded States. Capt. Robinson is also a good man, and an unwavering patriot. Both of these gentlemen, if called into service, will make their mark, so far as skill, bravery and courage are concerned. But we have hundreds of good men in Western Virginia, and the patriotic fire is spreading among them like "the fire in the mountains." Had you, Messrs. Editors, been intimately and thoroughly acquainted with our people six months ago, and were you now to visit us, you would be astonished at the change in sentiment. The Unionists are dispirited, mortified, alarmed, chagrined, amazed. They know not what to do.

Virginia. the war feeling Aroused--Western Virginia true to the South--return of the University Company, &c., &c. Letters which we publish elsewhere show that Virginia is fully aroused, and that her brave sons are ready to buckle on their armor and march to her defence. Every mail brings renewed assurances of the spread of the war feeling, and we regret that we are unable to publish all that we receive. A letter from Union, Monroe county, (April 23d,) says: The flags of Vi last night, by the light of the moon, with the arms of Virginia, surrounded by eight stars. Speeches and fire-works ended the entertainment. Gen. Chapman addressed us at length in his glowing language of exulting patriotism. Never fear! Western Virginia is all right. Our motto is, "A Union of hearts, a Union of hands, and the flag of our Union forever!" A student at the University of Virginia gives us an account of the return of the University Company from Harper's Ferry: They
