Somebody aroused.

--A correspondent informs us that the people of Lunenburg county are now fully aroused, and volunteers are rapidly flocking to the standard of their country. The writer says:

‘ "Two companies of Infantry have been organized under the command of Captains Orgain (Common wealth's Attorney) and Stockes, who are at present in Richmond, for the purpose of procuring arms and uniforms."

"The company of Cavalry, under Col. John Allen Stokes, needed only a few to make up the requisite number when we left the county, and we suppose it is also fully organized by this time."

"The delay in coming forward in the defence of our home and firesides, by the citizens of this county, has been occasioned by circumstances of a nature which we do not deem it necessary to mention, and not from any want of interest in the common welfare of every Southern man."

"The ladies of the county are also actively engaged, day and night, in plying the busy needle, in order to equip our soldiery as speedily as possible."
