Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Farmville.
Farmville,Va., March 16, 1861.
We have had quite an interesting time in our town this evening.
All of our citizens, with few exceptions, seem to be thoroughly aroused on the great question of the day — Secession.
We are just through with the ceremony of raising, over the store of Mr. H. G. Richardson, the first secession flag ever raised in Prince Edward county; but, judging from the almost unanimous and enthusiastic rejoicing of the sovereigns, when the seven stars and three stripes were displayed, it will by no means be the last one.
The ceremony was an imposing one.
We had very appropriate and interesting speeches by Esquires Farrar, of Amelia; Venable and Parish, of Prince Edward, and our young townsman, Sam Parton.
Come what may, Prince Edward never intends to be a willing subject of the "negro equality " concern now in power at Washington.
Her people are determined to do all in their power

A Tolerable Inanimate.
--If anybody is seriously distressed about division in Public sentiment over the Constitution of the Confederate States, we recommend them to study the following statement of the vote upon the question of its adoption:
Vote
States.TimeYeas.Nays.
AlabamaMarch 16, 1861875
GeorgiaMarch 18, 18611966
LouisianaMarch 21, 18611617
TexasMarch, 25, 1861682
MississippiMarch 30, 1861787
Two States, South Carolina and Florida, are yet to adopt the new Constitution.
It will be seen the total vote of the five States in Convention stands — for adoption 500, against it 21.
We call that about as near unanimity as we can expect to attain in this mundane sphere.--Macon Telegraph.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from the Howitzer Camp. Camp Chimborazo, near Richmond, May 16, 1861.
The Howitzer Battalion came here from Howard's Grove Wednesday morning, and have gone to soldiering in earnest.
Our Camp is under strict military rule, no one permitted to leave except on special business.
Our Commandants do everything for the comfort of the men that officers can possibly do.
Drills are three times a day: from 5½ to 6½, 10½ to 11½.
and 3½ to 5½; and dress parade at 6½, together with sentry and police duty we have little time to spare.
We are favored with the visit of the fair ladies of Richmond every evening, a pleasure which we assure you is most highly appreciated by us "soldier boys."
The detachment now on duty at West Point are expected to return in a few days.
The men in camp are all well and hearty, and as jovial a set of fellows as ever banded together.
