Dispatch correspondence. Norfolk, May 22, 1861.
Yesterday, a steamer which had been above Newport News, blockading the entrance to James river, attempted to go down to Fort Monroe.
When nearly opposite the battery at Sewell's Point a shot was fired from that place, which brought her to. She returned the fire, but after several shots had been exchanged between them, finding she could not pass the battery, she put back to the place from which she came.
She is now fastened in there, unless she passed out during the night --that was in the morning.
Yesterday afternoon the tug Young America ran up within a mile and exchanged two or three shots with the fort at Sewell's Point, but being backed out by the fire from the fort, she ran off to the steam frigate Minnesota, which came up and rounded to about two miles (which is as near almost as she can approach) from the fort, and opened with shot and shell upon the battery at Sewell's Point, firing about fifteen times.
The battery
Petersburg, May 22d, 1861.
The 1st Regiment of North Carolina volunteers, which reached here late last evening, on their way to Richmond, met with a grand reception at the depot.
Thousands awaited their arrival; the ladies, as usual, turning out in great numbers.
They were provided with supper at the bountiful tables of Messrs. Jarratt's Hotel; and as they marched through the streets numberless rockets were fired off in the way of feu du jaie.
The 2d Regiment of troops from the same State are now encamped at Weldon, and under marching orders for Virginia.
They are expected every day, and will be honored with as glorious a reception as their predecessors.
There are also various companies, one from Wilmington, and several from other places in the South, which will pass through here during the week — all for Richmond.
It is understood that Gen. Beauregard will arrive here to-morrow, but what will be his subsequent movements is not known.
It is hoped his stay will

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Camp life at Ashland. Camp Ashland, May 22, 1861.
Our troop, the Governor's Mounted Guard, arrived here two weeks ago to-day, and we are just getting everything in order and used to camp-life, for most of us knew nothing of it when we started from home; the most anxious to get into service have stood it worst.
We have had no serious sickness, although there have been several heavy rains, which makes it very disagreeable for the guard in this low, slushy country.
In dry, clear weather, it is a delightful place — every one seems to be pleased with it.
There has been some talk of moving some of the troops from here, and every one, from the officers down, was very much opposed to it.--It is understood now that we will remain here until something further turns up.
We are under many obligations to the Chesterfield Troop for their kindness and attention to us when we arrived.
We are quartered together in the ball-room.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.a Patriot of Halifax, Va. South Boston, Va., May 22, 1861.
I met yesterday with Mr. Childress, the overseer of Mr. George Richardson.
He told me that he had joined Mr. W. Ballard Bruce's company of volunteers.
He said he went to his employer, (a large farmer,) who has been confined to his bed of sickness for a long time, and told him what he had done; and Mr. R. told him "he was glad to hear it; to go and fight for his country; that his wages should continue the same for the balance of the year; that the same finding would be given his wife as if he were still attending his business in person, and if he lived to return, he could get his business again."
Can such a people be subjugated?
Never! never! May God restore the health of Mr. R, and allow him to live to see our armies victorious, the liberty of the South achieved, and to enjoy peace and happiness in this our now distracted country. E. B. J.
