To the Editors Of the Richmond Enquirer:
Cross KEYS, Va, May 2Tth, 1861.
Gentlemen: Tho election passed oil very
quietly, and the glorious old Tenth Legion has
covered itself all orer with glory. Dictator Lin
coin will see that he has no aldcrs and abettors
in the county of his lorefathers. Our oldest
citizens were fred with the zeal that animates
every true Virginia heart. Some OF them 50
or S. years old went six or seven miles to aid
in cutting our good old State loose from the
despotism at Washington.
