/ Sone lime since We were called upon 10 repel
the sur cast upon our old Commonwealth Tor her
supposed decTepitnde and want OF spirit IN regard
II The war We explained The reasons why she
had not complied with the acquisitions OF The
C.ovsmoen, Tor volunteers We are now en-
ahled to show, that she has done he! whole duly
and i ready. al moments warning 10 throw
mo The field her iu complement OF as brave and
generous soldiers, as the Union can boast cl.-
Below We publish list Of The volunteer corps,
whose services have been rendered for the war
with Mexico. Il will be seen that they complete
The entire quota Of This Stale. But IN addition 70
ths troops which have offered themselves, we hear
of companies being organized in various sections
al the State In shoil time, We doubt not, that
The number rendered will largely exceed The re-
cnisition Of The Government. The reader will
No, fail 10 observe. that Little Tennessee" has
exhibited an enthusiastic spirit WORTHY al her gal
LIANT people The North Wcs', too is moi lar be-
! hind her. Washington, Montgomery and tlar
rison cuun,ies take the lead in the number OF
companies offered Tor service. The civ OF Rich
mord, Tazcwell, Mononsaia and Randolph come
next.
We understand that the War Department is
fully sensible OF the causes which have hitherto
operated 10 relard The enrolment OF volunteers in
| Virginia, ant, in reply 10 The communication OF
! the Governor made a few weeks since, regrets
that present circumstances would not justify any
portion of The volunteers rendered being eratiiied
| by calm. them into actual service. Should The
/ 4 IL. ~ ~ a
volunteers be needed Virginia will be ready 10 10
her duty. Much as We would be pleased 10 see
the volunteers Of Virginia signalize themselves
in the field, We trust that the energy and Skill OF
General Taylor will bring the war 10 speedy
termination. Al the last accounts, he had put in
motion several regiments for Camargo, en- route
for Monterey. In a shor, time, We doubt mol the
whole army will be in motion, and some decisive
result may be expected They have had many
difficulties 10 contend wilh-the want OF trans
ports, The deluge Of rains. &c: but every thing
has been done as speedily and successfully as The
nature Of lie circumstances would allow. II
the Nexicans under Paroles make rally al
Monterey we may look for a thorough victory Of
tie American arm, nnd an carly termination ~
he war Blu, il he Mexicans divide themselves
into guerilla parties and assail our men from The
de6les and mountain passes in which The country
abounds. We may lose many valuable lives, and
| the war may be much longer continued. Bu, We
hone for the best We are fer speedy and per-
manent peace-bu, that cannot obtained without
vigorous measures al present. II The war IS pro-
lonsed. We ,rus, tina, the United States Govern
men, will not forge, iha, Virginia is ready 10 do
her duty:
