Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Pig's Point. Pig's Point, Camp Jackson, June 22d, 1861. We have noticed little activity among the ships at Newport News, which confirms us in the conclusion that most of the troops, or a large number at least, have been removed to Hampton. Nobody here fears Picayune Butler, feeling confident that some mistake or blunder will be committed under his command; but I would caution our men not to be too hopeful of success or negligent in their vigilance.

Prince Alfred arrived at Quebec on Thursday week. The papers report that there was as much enthusiasm displayed as on the occasion of the entry of Prince Albert. The resemblance to the latter in feature is remarkable. He is much shorter in stature, however, than his brother. A majority of East Tennessee Rebellion delegates have appointed a committee to memorialize the Legislature to permit East Tennessee to secede peaceably from the Southern Confederacy. This is founded upon rumor. It is pretended that three fugitive slaves, at Cairo, have been surrendered to their owners in Kentucky. Picayune Butler never pursues that course, but steals all he can lay his hands upon. Hon. Nathaniel Greene Pendeleton, who acted as aid to Gen. Gaines in 1813, and was a Whig member of Congress in 1941-3, died in Cincinnati on the 18th Inst.
