Burke county, numbering respectively eighty-four and ninety-two men. Arriving in the morning, and not leaving till the afternoon, they spent the day in pleasant intercourse with our citizens, who paid them every attention due to the brave defenders of the country. There was a splendid drill of the Burke Guards at the Southern Depot, which was witnessed by a large crowd, and elicited the praise of those best versed in military affairs. Gov. Letcher arrived here this afternoon, on route for Norfolk, accompanied by Col. Smith, of the Military Institute, and Lieut. Page, late of the U. S. Navy. During a brief detention at the depot, he addressed a large crowd of citizens, who had assembled, urging them to be calm and firm, and not to be led away by any undue excitement. He did not think there was any immediate danger of a collision; and in a few days he said Norfolk would be placed in a condition to resist the attack of any enemy that could be brought against it. Mon CŒur.
