Hampden Sydney.

--A secession flag now floats over the old College. When the question was asked, where will we get a pole? ‘"David Ross,"’ the old College servant, true to the students as ever, said, ‘"I'll go and cut one, and carry the big eend."’ The company, as has been stated by a correspondent, was regularly organized, under the superintendence of Col. Womack. Dr. J. M. P. Atkinson was elected Captain. The services of the company have been offered to the State. ‘"Davy"’ says he must go along and be cook — an offer that none of the students will refuse. The State has furnished the company with ‘"Pocket Columbiads,"’ and will accept their services. They will await the orders of the Common-wealth. Every one of the students, even those from old Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and California, with North Carolina and Texas, have signified their willingness to go into effective service for Virginia. They are panting to follow their gallant captain to ‘"victory or to death."’ On Wednesday evening a meeting was hold, and one of the company sent to this city on business. In a short time the company will be ordered to head-quarters in Richmond.
