Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Affairs in Western Virginia. Mercer Co., Va., June 17, 1861. We are contiguous to three counties here — Mercer, Raleigh and Wyoming--and have made up a company of volunteers, to organize tomorrow, from the three counties, a majority of which are of this county, but all are unanimously in favor of rendezvousing at Charleston. We are not at so much a loos concerning that (as we suppose the Governor would order them to Charleston if they wished to uld give him up if necessary. I know others, who voted against the Ordinance of Secession, (and went so far as to say, if they had to fight, they would fight for the North,) who are now the most enthusiastic volunteers we have There were many who voted against the Ordinance of Secession in Western Virginia that did it for want of information, and some of whom I have heard express regrets since. Therefore, let not the East censure their Western brothers, who are nobly coming to the rescue. C.

All has been quiet here to-day — no alarms in any direction. Palmer A. German, one of the wounded of the Vienna repuise, is very low, and is not expected to recover. He is still lying in camp, it being regarded as dangerous to remove him to the hospital. Ohio troops for Western Virginia, etc. Cincinnati, June 22. --The Third and Fourth Ohio Regiments, Colonels Morrow and Anderson, fully armed and equipped, left Camp Dennison yesterday afternoon for Virginia. General McClellan and staff were at Parkersburg yesterday, en route for Grafton.

Negley, at his mother's house, at Sharpsburg, where he was concealed under a sofa. He is now under strict guard at Gen, Negley's quarters, and, it is said, there is the most direct evidence against him. Proclamation of Gen. M'Clellan. Grafton, June 23. --General McClellan has issued a proclamation, assuring the people of Western Virginia that the pledges of his proclamation of May 26th will be faithfully carried out. He concludes:--"To my great regret I find that the enemies of the United States continue to carry on a system of hostilities prohibited by the laws of war among belligerent nations, and, of course, far more wicked and intolerant when directed against loyal citizens, engaged in the defence of the common government of all.
