An Incident. --During the session of the Mayor's Court yesterday, a man presented himself with two recruits for Capt. Dimmock's "Armory Guard," who he requested might be duly sworn in. The Mayor explained the nature of the case to the intending soldiers; told them they were about to agree to serve the State of Virginia for three years; that they were to obey the orders of their Captain, also the Governor, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the land and naval forces of Virginia. They assented readily to all the requirements, but when the Mayor came to that part of the oath which bound them to observed the rules, &c., in force in the United States Army, he halted and said he preferred Col. Dimmock should see the paper, as his conscience would not permit him to swear in the men to do anything of the kind. The recruiting officer was sent after the Colonel of Ordnance.

If they have no tents and they cannot be gotten, they are willing to sleep on the ground uncomplainingly. We rather expect that all of the sails of out bay and river craft would prove insufficient to house even a small modicum of the force the Confederate States now have in the field. The same correspondent suggests that, a the season is approaching when (in lower Virginia) autumnal diseases may be expected, would be wise and prudent to keep troops from the mountains away from the seaboard, and to occupy it with the noble fellows from the South. Soldiers have to obey the order of their commanding General, and go indifferently to high or low land.
