For the enlightenment of certain of the profound Eastern papers, we would beg to state that there is a First Virginia regiment on the Union side as well as on the rebel side. Col. Thoburn commanded this regiment and not the 3d Virginia as these papers state. If they will refer to the army roll they will see that West Virginia has ten regiments in the service on the Union side. It is curious that these papers have not yet been able to comprehend the fact that there are Virginia troops fighting for, as well as against the Union.
