Near MONTERREY, Highland

Near MON IEREJ, Highland Co .
May IS, 1861.
Dear Sir-Permit me to trouble you with
a line in reference to very interesting doings
in Highland County Her citizens have
in some circles, been charged with want
Iof true patriotism, and proper military
spirit, because Of a seeming laggardness on
their part as TO presenting volunteers for
the defence of her State, in this, her time
of need. If grounds for such charge have
Lad real existence, they are now wipe:
away and Highland stands redeemed Git
reden ption she needed) from reproach on
that score. On Saturday last. considera-
bic crowd Of young men, ard s,mc married
ones, Of this county, all of highly respccta-
bic character, convened at the Court House
IN the town Of Monterey, for the purpose
OF organizing themselves into volunteer
company, preparatory for service at the call
of the Governor Of the State Il was truly
exhilarating to the patriotic heart, if not in
deed to the hearts of all beholders, to see
the enthusiasm with which these sturdy
men came forward to present tneir names
for enrolment Eighty-two in number
were duly enrolled, after which they para
ded in line and proceeded to the selection
of thei commandments. Felix H. Hull, Esq
was unanimously elected as Captain; aud
John w Myers. Samuel Gilmer. and Jesse
Gilmer were severally chosen as 1st. 2nd,
and Sd Lieutenants. This company, when
properly trained, may well be regarded as
a formidable one to the opposing foe for
they are in the vgor Of life, healthful. and
Of good stature few only being rather
small. bat are so with big hearts.
1t is worthy of remark that four sons OF
one estimable gentleman all he had-en-
rolled themselves in this company. A lib
eral Subscription for the equipment Of this
company with proper uniform. has been
made. and the County Court, will no doubt.
provide by levy for any balance that may be
wanted for that purpose.
Now If Highland is not entitled to three
cheers, let her have at least one; and forty,
or more, of her noble hearted ladies God
bless them. they are angelically noble) hav-
ing offered to make for the company's needs
such articles as may fall within their line OF
haudiwork, ought not they: these noble fair
ones, be cheered to the skies

LY, Esq


RICHMOND, VA May 10. 1861
DEAR SIR 81 have received your letter,
and hasten to reply in the same spirit OF
kindness which, doubt not, prompted you
to write.
Isl. As to the popular vote on the crdin-
ancc of secession.
There is not shadow Of doubt as to the
ratification of the ordinance, by vote
which, for unauimity, has no example in
the history of popular elections.
Many If our people do not believe 10
what is called The ''righ, of secession" but
they al maintain the right Of revolution.
aud they are all agreed that the time has
come to exercise it
La the midst OF their Efforts for the Uni.
on and Peace, war has been thrust upon
them, and they have no idea of calling for
''quarter.' either by note Or otherwise, be-
fore the fight begins.
% As to the course of the Union men
in Virginia.
There are no Union men left in Vir-
ginis.
The moment it appeared beyond question
that the people Of the North, without dis
tlnction of party, were clamorous for war
of INVASION and subjugation against us. our
people accepted dlsunon as a fixed and in
evitable fact. aud we stand this day a uui
ted people, ready with one mind and one
voice, with one heart and one arm to make
good the eteraal separation which we have
declared.
The issue of peace or war is in the hands
of the North We only ask to be let alone,
aud to be allowed to consult our own inter
esis and our safety 10 peace. If this is de-
MED US, mark the prediction, we will give
you fight which will stand out upon the
page of history an example for ali time. of
the determination with which a people can
