Troops from the Southwest. --The following military companies from Southwestern Virginia arrived in Richmond yesterday, by the Danville cars viz: Smythe Blues, Albert G. Pendleton, Esq., Captain--72 strong. Wyth. Grays, Jos. F. Kent, Captain--76 strong; and Charlotte Rifles, Thos. J. Spencer, Captain--73 strong. The men were all of good size hale and hearty, and anxious for a brush with the "enemy." Each corps had its own drum and fife along. They had been on the road for two days, and were tired out. Three more companies are expected to-day viz: One from Pulaski, one from Montgomery, and one from Grayson. The corps from the last-named county are said to be perfect nondescripts — they call themselves "Dare Devils," and deep in leggings, moccasins, and other back-woods appliances. There is not a man in the company who is not over six feet in height. Such men are valuable indeed.
