Serenade and speeches.
--Yesterday, between 11 and 12 o'clock, two fine companies from Southwestern Virginia--the Wythe Grays and Smyth Blues — marched to the Exchange Hotel, attended by the Armory Band, and serenaded Gov. Floyd, who was sojourning at that place.
Mr. Floyd acknowledged the compliment in a patriotic speech.
After this, in response to a call from the throng who had assembled, speeches were made by Majors Boylston and Simpson, of the South Carolina forces, Gen. Thomas J. Green, of N. C., and Sergeant Cook, of the Wytheville Grays.
The speeches were full of patriotic sentiment, and were calculated to inspire the breasts and nerve the arms of the brave soldiers who heard them.
Gen. Green said he had come to offer 30,000 men from North Carolina, fully armed, equipped and provisioned, for the defence of the South.

From Petersburg.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Petersburg, April 24, 1861.
Our city, which has been comparatively quiet for a couple of days, was enlivened today by the arrival of the South Carolina troops on their way North.
They marched through the principal streets leading from one depot to the other, halting at the Bolling brook Hotel.
On their arrival at the depot they were publicly welcomed by W. T. Joynes, Esq., in a patriotic address, to which Gen. Benham, the Commander, made a spirited response.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed during their transit through the city.--Flags innumerable were suspended across the streets and flying from the principal buildings, and ladies from the windows waved their kerchiefs and lent their approving smiles.
The regiment numbers about 600 men. Their exposure to the sun for several mouths while in camp at home had bronzed their faces, and they were covered with the dust of the railroad; but they were a fine looking body
