every variety OF arms aud eqnipmenis from The best

The attitude taken by Western Virginia has stag
gered the Secessionists. At Richmond he found the

people may be- in danger OF undertaking the southern
soldiers in RESPECTS and of oyerraing them in
other particulars. Southern troope march we'll, but
they are impatient Of restraint. Ii Short there Is NO

bravery but il will be undsciplned bravery. Our In
formant says that the best drilled company in Charles
ton, the Palmetto Guard, with aIl their drllng and
service on Morris Island, cannot compare with the
mos. ordinary companies now in Washington. He be-
LEV, that the world cannot show another army like
that at Washington, where every has intelligence
