The Daily Dispatch: November 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], From Norfolk (search)
From Norfolk surmises about the destination of the Federal fleet--a firing again heard — the mails between Richmond and Norfolk — heavy Railroad business — Norfolk Markets. &c. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Norfolk, Oct. 31, 1861. The various reports that have been in circulation here since the departure of the Federal fleet from Hampton Roadstead no longer afford subjects for those who are anxious to get the latest news and eager to give currency to rumors. The "grand armada" has fine weather for the great expedition, and may now be hundreds of miles distant on the Southern coast. The in formation of an attempt to demolish some fortification, enter a port, and land troops, will very probably soon be transmitted with the rapidity of "the lightning's wing." It is not improbable that powder will be wasted, a loud noise made, and a fuss generally will be raised somewhere, and that pretty soon. The Northern invaders will find again, to their cost,<

Articles for sick soldiers Solicited. Rockbridge Alum Springs, Oct. 31, 1861. Editors Dispatch: --For some weeks I have been acting as agent for the distribution of supplies contributed to the sick of the Northwestern army, and am desirous of bringing to the notice of friends of the sick soldiers the following special wants. 1st. Cotton shirts to be worn next the body are in almost universal demand. The sick, when removed from the camp to the hospital, are generally unable to look after their baggage, and in many cases lose it. Hundreds of the sick have but one change of linen, and I have seen men in clothes so shockingly filthy that they were disgusting and nauseous to look at. Scarcely anything contributes so much to the recovery of the invalid as nice clean clothes. Send us, then, all the under-clothes you can, be they rough or half worn. 2d. A supply of comforts or quilts for covering. The mere army blanket given to each soldier is not sufficient

From camp Bartow. an alarm in camp -- picket firing -- Promotion--election for vacancies in the Convention --health of the army, &c., &c. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch] Camp Bartow Oct. 31, 1861. We had an alarm last night — pickets tired on the enemy; killed one, wounded two, and captured three. The enemy retired. No men were ever more desirous of a visit from friends than our gallonage fellows seemed to be this morning of a hostile attack from their Yankee neighbors on Cheat Mountain; but no attack will be made. Their reception on the 3d was not such as to encourage a renewal. We see accounts of numerous promotions in the army around about Manassas; why should not Colonels Johnson and Taliaferro be made brigadiers, and Lt. Cols. Jackson and Hansborough, (who have all the campaign commanded efficiently brave though small bands of starwar textiles from the Northwest,) be promoted to full Colonelcy? By the way, the superseding of Col. Jackson in
