LESox.-The patriotism of Lenox has turned l out company of thirty-fve volunteers, who are being drilled by Dr. William Deming. The com Epany met last week and chose Dr. Deming, Cap l tain Thomas Post and Charles M. Sears, Lieu tenants; Wm N Tucker, Oliver Peck, and Hen ry R. Tucker, Sergeants. The company were | anxious to know whether they could hit as small I q mark as a secessionist, and on Friday last, armed and equipped with few old muskets, which carry ounce balls, they went for target shoot and at fifteen rods they put three balls l in the bulls eye and lodged several in the ring inc size of a barrel head. We'll done for Lenox. Lee paper.
 Can't Wm Deining is a native of this town. We are glad to see that he is ready to enlist on the right side. Litchfeld boys all over the coun- try are taking up sides for their country.
 THE FEELING IN VIRGINIA.-There is great difference of feelings in South Carolnians and Virginans. The residents of the Palmetto State are angry, waspish, overbearing, while throughout Virginia there was feeling of sad ness A member of the State Convention re. marked to our informant that no pen could ever portray the scene in the Convention when the ordinance of Secession was passed. His oath of secrecy would not let him divulge what took place, but if there were jubiant Secessionists, there were also heart-brokeh men, who still To v ed the old flag. Our informant says, and his words are worthy the attention of Government I-" Let Government do by Virginia as she has done by Maryland-pour in tue troops, and Here wiH besnen enoagh to cheer hte Stars and Stripes in Richmond" s
 The attitude taken by Western Virginia has staggered the Secessionists. At Richmond he found the same mistaken idea prevalent concern tino fho fh,h hol., that there would be a large party who would yet rise up in the North to fight apainst the 4Ad- niinistraton.
 EFFICIENCY OF SOUTHERN TRoops-We are rot at liberty to publish all the information given relative to the discipline and efficiency of South ern troops. Our informant thinks that the Northern people may be in danger of underrat- ing the southern soldiers in some respects, and of ovelTating them in other particulars. South. ern troops march we'll, but they are impatient cf restraint. In short, there is no discipline l; soldiers pay no respect to officers, as such. and instances of gross misconduct were unnotced. But they are impatient to be brought face to face with the $ Northern hirelings" There is no doabting their bravery, but it will be uni!is- ciplined bravery. Our informant says that the best drilled company in Charleston, tha Pal f metto Guard, with all their drilling ani service on Morris Island, cannot compare with the nest ordinary companies now in Washington. He believes that the world cannot show another army like that at Washington, where every man has intelligence beanlng in his face. He face tiousiy calls it an A?nay C4f f.9oeereiyas.
 9Gssz. Colonel Anderson acknowledges the re- ceipt of the sword presented him by the citizens of Taunton, Mass, and adds:
 It is not my province, and it does not be- come me, to advert to the origin Of the hostili ties in which my country is involved But re- gard all it's parts as my country its union as ny government. The restoration Of it's peaceful sway is the object of cur most urgent wishes and worth our greatest sacrifices. it's flag, the symbol of our Union and the attendant of our liberty, can never fail to uphold. : Tie Government is changing, as rapidly as possible the old muakets of the troops when they arrive, and supplying them with Minnie and Shary's rifles. They intend to have these old arms inspected, and such are of sufficient value are to De rit!ed and supplied with the hest modern Improvements for bre22!!-loading and cap locks.
