Gov. Wise.--We met with a gentleman on the 4th instant, says the Lynchburg Virginian, who had traveled with a member of the Wise Legion direct from Fayette county, where the Governor has his hinformed us that a great change was going on in the sentiment of the people of the Northwest. Gov. Wise is speaking every day, and the effect of his appeals is most salutary. As an instance of Gov.Gov. Wise's annexes in converting those people from the error of their ways, we state the following:--A Union Captain was arrested by the Legion, and brought to Gov. Wise, who used his eloquence upon theGov. Wise, who used his eloquence upon the Union man, and then let him go in obedience to his request, when he promised to return. The Captain did return, agreeably to promise, having more than fulfilled his word, in that he persuaded his wpersuaded his whole company, one hundred strong, to join the Logion, which, it was reported, would reach ten thousand in a few days. They were rapidly increasing. Gov. Wise is doing a noble work.

d be used if a necessity should arise. Should it become necessary for us to double or quadruple the number of our soldiers in the field, the adaptation of an arm already in our possession in great numbers, and with the use of which our people are familiar, would be very desirable. The large double-barrel buck-shot gun is a most formidable weapon, and in close encounters much more certain and destructive than the musket. All that is needed to adapt it to the field service is a bayonet, with which, having the advantage of two loads at command, and the deadly range of some fifteen large shot to the barrel, in guerilla surprises, in close-line firing, cavalry pursuits, or even the charge of columns, it would be a much more effective weapon than the musket or rifle. Governor Wise, in calling out his Brigade, especially enjoined on the men if they could not get the regular weapon, to come with anything they could get. The result is that he has a large body of efficacity armed men.

of the contemptible Government gotten up by Carlile. They have set the example of burning, and deserve to have the measure of their vindictiveness meted out to them. It would be a social and political blessing if they were laid in ashes. There are only a very few counties where there is unanimity against Virginia and the South. The other counties may be brought back to a proper sense of their obligations to the State by such measures as are now on foot. The presence of two such men as Wise and Floyd, backed by a strong military force, will have a fine effect. The traitors will disappear very rapidly like mist before the sun, as soon as they get fairly in the field. There are a great many honest, but misled men — victims of the arts of the Submissionists of the Virginia Convention--who will come back to their true allegiance the moment they hear a little truth, (a commodity seldom offered them by their teachers,) and have the encouragement of a force sufficiently strong to pro

arrels; and cannon made of it undergo the severest tests that are applied to heavy ordnance. Thus is Southwest Virginia a great arsenal of the South for the munitions of war. They make powder, balls, and guns from home material, and can furnish them in any quantities with a little help from capitalists. Nor is it deficient in the more important department of good fighting men. The counties in the Southwest have not been surpassed by those of Eastern Virginia, in the liberality with which they have turned out soldiers for the war.--The fact is, that country is as true as steel to the South. Cut off from the Northwest by mighty ranges of mountains, it has no associations, affiliations or sympathies with the wretched minions of Carlile. It is as different a country from the extreme Northwest as Eastern Virginia. It was in no part settled from Pennsylvania, but was peopled exclusively from the old stock of Virginia people. As Mr. Wise would say, it is intus et in cute Virginian.

Amongst the Union men. We learn that Lieutenant-Colonel Patton has entered Ravenswood, on the Ohio, in Jackson county, at the head of some three hundred men. The motley force of Union men retired upon his approach. Governor Wise continues to investigate the cases of disaffected persons, putting the deluded ones in the way to political salvation, and turning the others over to the proper authorities, to be dealt with according to the law of the Convention. We have nothing further from Gilmer, where at last accounts civil strife was going on very actively. In Tucker county the disaffected are very bold. We learn that Lt. McChesney, of Rockbridge, with nine mounted men, went from the Laurel Hill camp a few days since, to be present at a Union meeting in Tucker. On his way he was warned to be on his guard, as he would probably fall into an ambuscade in a short distance. He persevered, and had not gone far before he was shot dead by party of Union men secreted on th
