The Lynchburg troops. --The companies which arrived here from Lynchburg on Tuesday night, are composed of the right sort of material — stalwart, hardy men, who would fight to the death and never yield to a foe. Our Lynchburg correspondent, in a letter dated April 23d, writes: "This morning we witnessed the departure of three of our fine volunteer companies — the Home Guard, Capt. Sunderland; Rifle Grays, Capt. Maurice Langhorne, Jr., and the Lynchburg Artillery, Capt. H. Grey Latham. These companies are composed of the flower of our citizens. To particularize might be considered invidious. The order was received yesterday about 4 P. M., and was responded to with the greatest alacrity and enthusiasm. In the ranks of these companies are a number of adopted citizens, particularly Germans, as well as quite a sprinkle of gentlemen born in the North, all of whom now stand ready prepared to defend their adopted State against the encroachment of abolition mercenaries."

Troops from the Southwest. --The following military companies from Southwestern Virginia arrived in Richmond yesterday, by the Danville cars viz: Smythe Blues, Albert G. Pendleton, Esq., Captain--72 strong. Wyth. Grays, Jos. F. Kent, Captain--76 strong; and Charlotte Rifles, Thos. J. Spencer, Captain--73 strong. The men were all of good size hale and hearty, and anxious for a brush with the "enemy." Each corps had its own drum and fife along. They had been on the road for two days, and were tired out. Three more companies are expected to-day viz: One from Pulaski, one from Montgomery, and one from Grayson. The corps from the last-named county are said to be perfect nondescripts — they call themselves "Dare Devils," and deep in leggings, moccasins, and other back-woods appliances. There is not a man in the company who is not over six feet in height. Such men are valuable indeed.
