The only other accessible source of supplying Virginia is the Salines of Kanawha. Unfortunately, the Valley of the Kanawha is now in the hands of the enemy, Gen. Wise having been obliged to fall back to Lewisburg before a far superior force, and, as is also said, for want of ammunition. General Floyd has marched to a point four miles west of Lewisburg, and is ready to advance in conjunction with General Wise again into the Kanawha country; but is obliged to await his third regiment, which is detained at Bonsack's Depot, fifty miles west of Lynchburg, awaiting arms from Richmond, being fully equipped in every other respect. The joint forces of thesex, is of primary importance. No portion of the State of equal extent is half so important, and we look with great interest to the operations of Generals Floyd and Wise. True, the salt of Kanawha would have to be wagoned eastward over the mountains; but it is comparatively a light article, and the turnpike roads from the Sali

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.movements of the Richmond light guard — Wise's Legion, &c. White Sulphur Springs, Aug. 12, 1861.

the first occasion of their drill they were informed by their commanding officer that ten per cent, of the white population was required to be represented in the field before the county could be exempted from the liability of a draft; one hundred was then wanting to complete that number, and unless they were speedily furnished the militia would be called out en masse. Under these circumstances many stepped forward and volunteered their services in the defence of their country; and I believe the quota of Botetourt, amounting to upwards of eight hundred, has been, or will be, furnished in a few days. Several companies belonging to Floyd's Brigade have passed through on their way to the Northwest, and also a troop from Tennessee who intended to join Gen. Wise at the White Sulphur. They were all fine looking men, and will doubtless afford material aid in driving the base minions of Lincoln from the sacred soil which they have polluted with their footsteps. Sharp-Shooter.
