From Norfolk.
[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.]

Norfolk May 27, 1861.
More troops arrived here Saturday. Like those who preceded them, they are a fine set of men, who betoken good service in the approaching conflict.

North Carolina will send to us in a day or two numbers of her gallant soldiers.

Our forces at this time number many thousands, well skilled in the use of arms; and under the leadership of such a man as Lee, will prove invincible.

Col. Huger is at his post, and assists ably in the discharge of his duties. Luna.
