sist of part of Capt. C. E. Girardy's Battalion Louisiana Guard, 155 men; Montgomery Guard, Capt. Nolan, 104 men; Emmett Guard, Captain Neiligen, 74 men; Caddo Rifles, Captain Lewis, 105 men — the whole amounting to 438 men.--The troops were substantially clothed, well armed, and not at all averse to having a brush with Lincoln's followers at the earliest possible moment. They report thousands of the same sort on the way here. Sunday night 1,400 men from Tennessee landed at the camp near Lynchburg — also a battalion of about 150 from Huntsville, Alabama, and the cry was still they come. Up to 7½ o'clock last evening the above troops had not passed this office on their way to the camp ground. At the hour named it was raining violently. In speaking of the arrival of the above troops we must specially allude to the battalion of "Louisiana Guards," commanded by Capt. Girardy--a braver or more military body of men never marched in this city from any place. The whole battalion is com

These powerful batteries are a sufficient protection to the harbor — no attempt to past them could prove successful. The Rev. Mr. Wall, of St. John's Church, preached to the soldiers yesterday afternoon, at Fort Nelson. Gov. Letcher was here yesterday. He visited the various military posts here — Norfolk, the Navy Yard, Fort Nelson, &c. He purposes returning to Richmond to- day. Captain Hugh Nelson Page must be taken off the retired list. He received orders to take charge of the Navy Yard here, which he declined to do in deference to a suggestion of a superior officer, which proved unfounded, and he was subsequently ordered to Richmond.

From Portsmouth.[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Portsmouth, Va., May 6, 1861. Georgia is patriotically responding to the call for arms. She is magnanimously pouring into our borders full companies of her gallant volunteers. She feels that if there is to be the clash of arms. Virginia is to become a battle ground, and this now menaced section of the hated old Commonwealth is to be the point of meditated attack. The shameful flight of the Cumberland and Pawnee from a position which their batteries commanded, and the providential abortion of much of their devilish plot to destroy the public property at the Navy Yard are rankling festers in the breasts of the despots at Washington, and render them mad and eager to regain what they so dastardly relinquished. It is said that the phlegmatic Pendergrast is sore, and that so deep rooted is the chagrin of the Ape's Lieutenant General, the old man — recreant to the claims of his native State and to those considerations wh

We hear that nepotism is making its appearance, and it is surmised that an ism of some kind has had a hand in the Captain's commission. Who aided the Convention in the provision for the Captain's case? Where is William Plame Moran, a native of Norfolk, and for many years the efficient functionary in the Navy Department? He has been telegraphed for at Montgomery, where he is wanted. A short time since he resigned his position at Washington and left that polluted city, whose Capital had become a don of the armed horde of vandals from the place of darkness --for the North is morally, socially and politically, as well as masonically, a place of darkness. It is the abode of the blo-ho--the evil principle — which
