From Norfolk.[Special Cor. Of the Richmond Dispatch.] Norfolk, Sept. 9. I regret to announce the death of a member of the Metropolitan Guards, 3d Regiment, Alabama Volunteers.

The slow and measured tread of the military attendants; the dull, suppressed sound of the drum; the shrill "funeral notes" of the fife; the slowly-moving hearse, with the tireless young sleeper, comb

They have selected one company — the Amherst Rifle Greys — upon which their girls will first be bestowed, and if their resources shall not be consumed, then upon such other companies as the society shall select. If such societies are not already formed all over our Southern land, I hope they will
