From Norfolk.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, May 18, 1861. The trains of the past day or two have brought new accessions to our troops, and our city presents quite a military appearance. Six of Lincoln's boats are reported off Old Point. When they think of giving us a visit, a warm reception is promised. The Old Dominion Guards, in command of Capt. Culpeper, came over from Portsmouth yesterday, and are stationed some distance up the road. Enthusiasm here is great, and in the Old North State troops await orders to join us, and will come within seven hours notice. They are willing to come if their daily allowance is to be served out at three crackers per day. Some of the soldiers here, unused to our water, have in consequence taken sick.--Twenty-two are at this time inmates of our hospital. The two brothers of the young man, Smith, who died in Portsmouth a short time since, are both lying sick. They are properly cared for by the patrio

ses, their larders, their needles, and their personal services, and have done for our sick soldiers a generous and blessed work, for which their only earthly reward is the enthusiastic gratitude of the poor fellows whom they have relieved. Nor do they grow weary in well doing, although this labor of love grown daily on their hands. But it is perfectly obvious that the work of charity may be expected soon to assume proportions by which their strength will be utterly overwhelmed. While Culpeper has furnished her due share of volunteers for the war, it is not fair to respect this one neighborhood of the county to be burthened with the whole care of the sick of a great army, drawn from a large part of Virginia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. It seems to me as much as we can ask of them to bestow time and labor for the relief of those whom Providence thus throws upon their Christian charities, while the people of all the region from which these troops come shou

They say their force retired from the field when overpowered by numbers; their infantry were badly cut up, and that Culpeper is one vast hospital. Gen. Geary's brigade, 2,000 strong, lost 1,600 in charging a Confederate battery. The 5th Ohio was nearly annihilated. The 3d Wisconsin stampeded from the battle field.

o the field opposite our original position in the morning, when fresh brigades rose and poured a deadly volley upon them, forcing them in turn to retreat, and enabling the Confederates to recover the ground before lost. By Wednesday morning the enemy had departed, leaving on the battle-field his dead and wounded. The loss of the enemy was immense. His dead were laid out in lines by hundreds, preparatory to burial, no doubt, if he had not been beaten. His loss was three or four to our one. The casualties of the 2d Louisiana are, out of 100 men carried into action, 29 killed on the field, and 164 wounded. Five color bearers were shot down, and the flag well marked with Minies. The loss of the whole brigade was 66 killed and 365 wounded. One touching incident deserves to be recorded Lieut. Culpeper, of the Vernon Guard, feeling himself mortally wounded, slowly raised himself to his knees, and praying as calmly in the hottest of the fire as in his closet, died in that position.

Not more than half a dozen shells were thrown on either side, and on the advance of our cavalry the enemy retired. No one was injured on our side. As the rebels advanced from the direction of Pony Mountain, my informant, a Lieutenant-Colonel, who was present, believed the report that Kilpatrick has taken Pony Mountain incorrect.

e of Senator from Virginia in Washington, in place of Bowden, and that he has written a letter in response, stating that he is unwilling to accept the honor intended to be conferred upon him, hoping that the time is not far distant when he can stand as a connecting link between the North and South. The letter is said to be brief, but eloquent. Heavy laden wagons were crossing the Mississippi at St. Louis on the ice on the 15th January.
