Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.letter from Company "G"--how the men areFaring. Headq'rs Co. "G," 1st Reg Va. Vol., June 8, 1861. Seeing that you requested, through the columns of your paper, that you might have correspondence with the military of the different camps, I take this opportunity to drop you a few lines. We are quartered in a large barn and stable, having to drive out the horses and cows previous to taking possession. It would have amused you to have seen our boys looking for a soft place on the floor to rest their wearied limbs, having marched a distance of four miles in the middle of the night.

He has inspired our troops with renewed energy, and we feel that we shall conquer the aggressors of our beloved soil, trusting in the God of Battles, who declares that the battle is not to the strong. Sibe. P. S.--Our boys are in fine health, and want for nothing, except the officers, who left their baggage at Camp Pickens, and cannot get it forwarded. S.
