Important, if true.

--Governor Letcher is said to have received yesterday a requisition from Lincoln, issued in pursuance of his proclamation, calling for volunteers to aid him in putting down "combinations" in the South. He wants from the Old Dominion three regiments, of one thousand men each — On the receipt of this exceedingly modest request of the old rail- splitter, the Governor is reported to have said that the people had all along been blaming him for his conservatism, but that now he was prepared to go as far as he who went farthest, in defence of the honor of Virginia, and that he should issue a proclamation forewarning all citizens of Virginia from enlisting in the Federal service for any such purpose as that contemplated by Lincoln.
