From Portsmouth.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Portsmouth, Va., May 23, 1861. As I commence my brief note, the company of Capt. James Cann Choate is marching away from the Court-House, having just voted for the glorious cause in which they have engaged, and for which they have shouldered the musket.

We are all anxious to join the detachment of the Howitzers now on active duty, under command of the gallant Captain Brown. As I write this, about twelve hundred troops are passing here, destined for a post of duty and danger. Three cheers for the gallant boys! We are indebted to the kind citizens for many thin
