Mayor Mayo, of Richmond, at New York. The battalion drill of the New York National Guard was varied on Friday evening by the visit of the Hon. Joseph Mayo, Mayor of Richmond, Va., who arrived a few minutes before the regimental formation, in company with Ex-Colonel Duryea and family. He was warmly welcomed by his military friends, and when at 9 o'clock the men were allowed to break ranks, they captured their old friend, the Mayor, dragged him to the centre of the room and then surrounded him. Good-naturedly protesting, as a peaceable citizen, against being surrounded by armed men, he most feelingly expressed his gratification at meeting his old friends of the Seventh, and alluded to his pleasant visit to the city. He spoke of the present distracted state of the country, and hoped that the Union might not be ruined by the politicians. He trusted the day would be far distant when the Seventh would be arrayed in hostility against their Southern brethren. "If you come to Richmo

on Hotel as from Virginia. He remained quietly at the hotel until yesterday morning, when he sent his card to the Governor, requesting an interview. The nature of his communication has not been made public. About one o'clock, accompanied by Col. Duryea, Aid to the Governor, Mr. Lamon left the city in the steamer Plaster, Capt. Ferguson, and proceeded to Fort Sumter. The title being low, the steamer was unable to reach the Fort wharf, but was met at a short distance by a boat commanded by an officer, who, we understood, was Lieut. After presenting a written communication to the Lieutenant, Mr. Lamon was invited into the boat, accompanied by Col. Duryea, and they were then taken to Fort Sumter, where they remained for about one hour. On the approach of the steamer to the fort, about half the garrison had collected on the wharf, and some half dozen officers were on the ramparts, using their spy-glasses. After staying in the fort for some time, Mr. Lamon, accompanied by Major

Army and Navy movements--four regiments ordered to Fortress Monroe. New York,May 21.--General Dix issued orders to day for four volunteer regiments to start to-morrow morning for Fortress Monroe, viz : those under Cols. Allen, Carr, Duryea and Bendix. The rest of his division will march as soon as they are ready. Elmira, N. Y.,May 21.--The United States brig Bainbridge was towed below this morning, and it is reported she will proceed direct to Aspinwall to act as a convoy to the California steamers in crossing the Gulf, to protect them from privateers. New York,May 21.--The frigate Mississippi hauled into the stream this morning, and will probably sail on Thursday. The gunboat South Carolina will probably leave on Thursday. Orders have been received here to muster the First Regiment into service.

Trophies of victory. --The officer belonging to the New York Seventh Regiment killed at the battle at Bethel Church, was named Waldrop (instead of Col. Duryea.) He was in the act of mounting a fence to cheer on his men, when a bullet through the breast, from a North Carolina soldier, forever put an end to his exertions in behalf of Lincoln. Three men approached his body at the same instant. On it was found $35 in money, a valuable watch, side-arms and a fine dress sword, which was divided between them. We saw the sword in Richmond yesterday evening. From an inseription thereon it appeared to have been presented to Capt. David W. Waldrop, by Joel G. Jared, July 10, 1859. If our men keep on encountering the enemy, we will get, after a while, a sufficiency of the most approved arms at but little cost, experience having shown that after making a show their enemies are glad enough to abandon them and run for their lives.

o. Things at present seem to have a downward tendency; that is, every eye is eagerly turned to the country below us. Brisk operations upon a small scale are going on there. Day before yesterday, Captain Werth, of the Pittsylvania Troop, while reconnoitering in the country around Newport News, with nine men, fell into a party of thirty-five live Yankees, who, I presume, were out on a similar expedition, and immediately attacked them. They did not sustain the high reputation bestowed upon Col. Duryea's heroes by the fighting man of the New York Herald, whom I take to be Bennett himself. On the contrary, they were routed at the first onset. Capt. Werth killed two of them with his pistol, (both officers,) and the horse of a third, who slid from the animal as the barber did when he was charged by the redoubtable knight of La Mancha. I understand that a similar rencontre occurred yesterday, in which two of the enemy were slain. The achievement of Capt. Werth was a very remarkable one,

value either taken away or want only destroyed. Among those who have been the chief sufferers, are Colonel Carey S. Jones, Major. J. B. Carey, Dr.Banks, George M. Bates, Adler, Wm.S. Smith, I vey, Cansey, Sinclair, and others. After stealing all the poultry, pigs, &c., from Colonel. Jones, the vandals went through his house and deliberately destroyed his furniture, smashing his piano, mirrors, bureaus, tables, &c., &c., with the butts of their muskets. Col. J. went to the camp of Col. Duryea to make a statement of his grievance, and had the satisfaction of an assurance that if he would point out the guilty parties they should be severely punished !! To show that these depredations are at least connived at by superior officers, Col. J. found one of his mirrors in the quarters of Col. Carr. Did not the Colonel know that thatmirror was stolen. and is not the receiver as bad as the thief? The case of a poor widow, (Mrs. Gates.) whose husband was a Captain in the U. S. Army

first. T. a fire was harm less, but the Germans' fir killed one and wounded two. The Albany regiment being behind, discovered by the accoutrements on the field that the supposed enemies were friends, but previously they had fired nine rounds. --Duryea's Zouaves hearing the firing, fired on the Albanyans. At daybreak two regiments moved from the fortress to support the main body. Little Bethel was burned and the army advanced towards Great Bethel. Arriving there they could see no men, no bat sounded, which order was promptly but orderly obeyed. It is estimated that about 30 were killed and 100 wounded. Major Winthrop, aid to Gen. Butler, and Lieut. Col. Grinnell, of the New York First Regiment, are missing. The attacking force was Duryea's Zouaves, Townsend's Albany Regiment, Col. Burdick's Regiment, detachment of the Vermont and Massachusetts Regiment, Col. Allen's Regiment, and Col. Harris's Regiment. The defenders numbered only 1,000 heroes at Little Bethel.

12th, which are, indeed, more nearly accurate than any that follow; although the "Associated Press" narrative, revised by Gen. Butler, is a weak attempt to gloss over a disastrous event: [From the Baltimore Sun, June 12th.] Old Point, June 10, 1861.--At a late hour on Sunday night Gen. Pierce, left with about five thousand men, a part of which consisted of a German regiment (Col. Benedict) from New York, and one of the Albany regiments, (Col. Townsend.) and the Zouave Regiment, Col. Duryea. The column was divided, and before reaching the Great Bethel bridge they met, and mistaking each other for the enemy, began a fight. The Albany regiment soon gave way and ran. Two were killed and nine wounded.--The mistake was then discovered, and the entire column was reformed and marched towards the bridge, where it was said some four hundred of the Confederate forces were lodged. On reaching the creek it was found that the Confederates had destroyed the bridge, but the whol
