AS a further instance of Mr. Tavlor's libprality,
may mention that he has also given $3.50 to
Captain William Il. Aylett. of the 'Taylor Grays"
King William county, for the use of that company.
The Wytheville papers chronicle the following
evidences Of individual patriotism:
Mr. Jos Cloyd of Pulaski, has authorized the
Governor to draw on him for $40 000 and saws his
whole fortune is at the service of the Governor if
required.
Capt. Robert Gibbonv, of Wythevie, has agreed
to uniform the "Davis Chargers" himself, and fur
nish two horses for the use Of the company. He
also gave to the Grays upwards of 500, and pro.
poses to give each company now in the county and
which may be hereafter formed the sum of $50 In
addition to these liberal bequess, he too proposes
to give his entire estate for the defence of Virginia
if necessary.
Mr.. Coz don G. Kent is another praseworthv ex-
ample of liberalltv. lie gave upwards of $3.50 to-
wards uniforming the Grays, furnished three fine
horses to the cavalry company, and gave
ance to q number of married men that their fami-
lies should be provided for during their absence.
lfe expresses his willingness to sacrifice his all for
the common defence against the fanatic horde of
Abe Lincoln.
What Wythe county is doing will be seen from
the following:
The '.Grays," one of the first companies called
into service, numbers pwards of 90 men; the
"Davs Chargers" 81; the Mount Airy Company,
| so; the Wythe Minute Men, about 60; the WITH
willie Rifles, 42-making in all upwards of 800 men.
The portion Of the county included in the
county of Bland will also give good account of
itself.
The Valley Sentinel gives cheering account of
the military ardor prevailing in Boetourt county.
The 4Sth regiment made fine parade at Fincas-
tie last Saturday. Says the Sentinel:
The turnout is said by old men to have been the
largest seen for many long year. We'll done for
the old 4Sth! We will back it against any reg-
ment in the State. Already it has a band of SOL
diers in the field. Four more have the full com
plement of men, and eager for the fray. Three
in addition in progress, and when five hundred
mustered in the field, who will not say the 4Sth
| has done its duty?
The ladies of FIuvanna lately presented a Con-
! federate flag to the military of the county at
Chapel Hill. A correspondent Informs us that
"When the signal is given to march to Fortress
Monroe, or anywhere else, Old Flu. will have as
many gallant soldiers in the field any county in
| the State, comparatively speaking. The cry is
70 arms" and the language of all is Give me
! liberty or give me death 7"
An immense meeting of the true men Of narri-
son county was held at their last Court, at which
resolutions were adopted pledging the county to
| the cause of Virginia in the present crisis of her
| fortunes. Ex-GOv. johnson presided.

people of the Potomac Department, uses the fol-
lowing language

from the Harrison district, was lately appointed

says he is not of that party, but Virginian read
to stand or fail under her flag.
