Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Tom's Brook. Tom's Brook, Shenandoah Co., June 18
Our company, the "Shenandoah Riflemen," left for Winchester this morning.
They number between sixty and seventy men, all of whom are quite expert with the gun, and good marksmen.
We venture to say that no company in the Valley is composed of better fighting material than this, and if they are favored with an opportunity, will make sad havoc of the Yankee hirelings.
It is worthly of note that there are eleven Crabills in this company, six of them the sons of David Crabill, Esq., one of the oldest residents of this place.
There are also five Readys.
We think a premium should be awarded to that father who can muster the most sons into service to fight the battles of the South defend the soil or Virginia, and repel Northern invaders.
Previous to the departure of the company, the Rev. J. A. Snyder delivered the boys a sermon, the text of which we find in Isaiah, 43rd chapter,
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the old Continentals. Strasburg, Va., June 18.
There is stationed at this place a detachment from the old Continental company, of Winchester, Va., who guarded old John Brown and his fellow-prisoners in the Charlestown jail.
I feel it my duty to give praise to modest worth, in the person of Lieut. Chas. H. Bush, the commander of the detachment.
He is a gentleman in every respect, and his men are as fine a set of fellows as ever volunteered their service to any State.
They are highly complimented for their good deportment and drilling.
This speaks well for Lieut. Bush; he is a fine drill officer and a strict disciplinarian, and we would commend him to his superior officers as worthy their attention.
The detachment is armed with Colt's repeating rifle — a deadly weapon.
The men are admirable shots, and is ready for a brush with old Abe's hirelings.
We understand that this company are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to march
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.what King and Queen county has done. King and Queen C. H., June 18.
I have seen from time to time an account of the military movements of many of the counties in the State, and have heard from some of the adjoining counties that King and Queen was somewhat of a laggard in comparison.--Now, King and Queen county has already raised seven volunteer companies, of about 450 men, and armed and equipped 200 of them with Minute muskets and all necessary accoutrements; and the County Court has levied $15,000 for these volunteers and their families; and, I understand, there is a project now on hand to raise another volunteer company.
At a meeting of the Board of Officers of the Regiment for this county, a few days since it was ascertained that there were only 500 militiamen enrolled for duty previous to the departure of the first volunteer company, and the Board of Officers, after re-arranging the militia districts, found only about 159 men
Virginia stocks.
--A telegraphic dispatch, dated New York, June 18, informs us that a Richmond letter says that no provisions have been made for the payment in New York of the July interest on Virginia stocks, and that Virginia's obligations will be paid at Richmond in Virginia currency.
