th the fires of war. Exclusive of her first five regiments, Gov. Brown has received offers of service from 255 companies, and represents that they still continue to pour in. The gallant volunteers of the Confederate States have more than filled all requisitions for twelve months troops; but the determination of the Government now is to receive troops only for the war. The Government is going to fight this controversy to the "bitter end." Twelve months may be sufficient time to convince Lincoln's ruffians that raids upon the South can have no other effect than a John Brown termination. But to make sure, the war authorities are receiving only for the war. Large pecuniary demands are now being made upon the Treasury from that source, the requisitions in one day amounting to half a million. A warrant for seven hundred thousand dollars has been recently drawn by the Navy Department for the use of J. D. Bullock, and charged to the appropriation made by Congress, for the probable cost

From Norfolk.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, May 18, 1861. The trains of the past day or two have brought new accessions to our troops, and our city presents quite a military appearance. Six of Lincoln's boats are reported off Old Point. When they think of giving us a visit, a warm reception is promised. The Old Dominion Guards, in command of Capt. Culpeper, came over from Portsmouth yesterday, and are stationed some distance up the road. Enthusiasm here is great, and in the Old North State troops await orders to join us, and will come within seven hours notice. They are willing to come if their daily allowance is to be served out at three crackers per day. Some of the soldiers here, unused to our water, have in consequence taken sick.--Twenty-two are at this time inmates of our hospital. The two brothers of the young man, Smith, who died in Portsmouth a short time since, are both lying sick. They are properly cared for by the patri
s life is relieved of half its burdens when their services are thus kindly appreciated. A large number of the First Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers passed through this city this evening on their way to Richmond, and 700 more of the same regiment are expected on Tuesday next. As they marched through the streets they presented a splendid appearance, with their arms glittering in the gas-light. An immense crowd attended them, cheering at every step. D. H. Todd, a brother of Mrs. Lincoln, and who has been appointed First Lieutenant in the Southern Army, is at present in this city, on his way to the South, to assist in the instruction of drilling companies. He is a thorough Southern man in his feelings, and will lend all his energies to the maintenance of our rights. Since the presentation of the fine horses to General Gwynn and Col. J. M. Withers, a project is on foot to compliment Col. R. A. Pryor in the same manner. It will certainly be carried out, for the gener
ains to be carried off.--There is, though, plenty of machinery here for other purposes than the manufacture of muskets. It is to be hoped that the machinery may be put up at Richmond speedily, and set to work. We are yet turning out a large number of good guns daily. I can hardly think we lack for guns. The Kentuckian were furnished a few days ago with Minnie rifles, and they are the boys to make their mark. Our position is nearly impregnable, and within a short time the whole of Abe Lincoln's army put together cannot take us. But if they think otherwise, just let them pitch in About 2,000 additional troops have arrived here within four days past. It is nobody's business how many there are here. I will let you guess. Very general good health prevails. This is strange for so large an assemblage of men. The scenery hereabouts is sublime, and no lover of the beauties of Nature can fail to admire its grandeur. Mr. Jefferson, in his eloquent description of the s
nwealth, called by law to decide upon the subject which they discuss, they are entitled to hold and express their opinions, in their county meeting, freely and fearlessly. It is probable, too, that some not agreeing with them in their conclusions as to the best course now to be adopted, may unite with them, in dissenting from some of the movements in this State. But when they ask if this can be a holy war, we answer, in so far as it is waged against the South, it is an unjust and unconstitutional war; when they "protest" against the excesses in Virginia, they should still more violently protest against the conduct of Lincoln's Administration — and when they oppose separation from a broken-up government, they should show how longer continuance under such a government is compatible with the preservation of our rights, or a regard to our best interests.--Indeed, the course of events seems to have merged all other questions into the one of resisting further aggression from the North.
arrived at Lynchburg, in detachments, Friday, The 2d and 11th Mississippi regiments left for another destination. Land Slide.--A land slide occurred last Wednesday at Burlington, Vt., on the Vermont and Canada Railroad, and eleven workmen were buried in the mass. R. J. Wood, Esq., of Wedowee, Ala., has been adjudged the extensive contract for making the mail bags required by the Post-Office Department of the Confederate States. A war steamer and a steamboat in the service of Lincoln's Government, paid a visit to the waters of the Rappahannock, in the vicinity of Urbana, a few days ago. The weekly expense of the steamers thus far chartered as transports by the Washington Government is $13,000, exclusive of keeping them in commission. The presence of Ross Winans at the Relay, on Thursday, created a deep impression. The troops uncovered as he passed between the lines. Col. R. A. Pryor has superceded Colonel Hodges in the command of the Third Regiment at Po
Lincoln's privateers. The London Standard aptly characterizes all the private armed vessels that Lincoln is employing to enforce his blockade, as "privateers. " This is excellent. They are privateers, and no such blockade, the Standard says, will be regarded! Now, the whole U. S. Navy can only turn out about thirty vessels,Lincoln is employing to enforce his blockade, as "privateers. " This is excellent. They are privateers, and no such blockade, the Standard says, will be regarded! Now, the whole U. S. Navy can only turn out about thirty vessels, and all the rest are privateers. Moreover, according to Lincoln's late proclamation, privateering is piracy, to be punished with death, and there fore the British cruisers, as well as our own authorities, will be justified in hanging these fine fellows wherever we catch them. le U.

Retaliation. A Charlottesville correspondent suggests, if the threat of confiscating Senator Mason's property in Philadelphia be carried out, that Monticello, the home and grave of Thomas Jefferson, now the property of Commodore Levy, of the Lincoln Navy, be appropriated by this State. If confiscation is to be begun, the South can play at the game as well as the North.
