The Daily Dispatch: May 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], A gallant example. (search)
From Portsmouth.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Portsmouth, Va., May 2d, 1861. We are now blockaded, as are the mouths of the James river, the York, the Rappahannock and the Potomac — so I am told. Yesterday morning the Baltimore boat — the steamer Adelaide -- was stopped by the minions of the Chimpanzee at Washington, and pressed into the service of the so-called Illinois baboon. The mail came up, however, in the afternoon, in the little steamer Coffee. Spies are said to be about. A man in petticoats, it is said, has been roaming about our city. If he is caught he will be stripped and turned over to the secular arm. The Young Guard, a company of 87 young and fine looking men, from Newton county, Ga., reached here at one o'clock last night, and were temporarily quartered in the courthouse. Sixteen thousand more from the same State are said to be on their way to old Virginia. Five companies came yesterday morning from the adjoining counties of Na

A most enthusiastic reception will be given to the First Regiment of North Carolina, consisting of one thousand volunteers, which is expected to arrive to-morrow. It is represented to be composed of the finest military companies in the State, all in perfect drill, and thoroughly armed and equipped. The blockade of James river intercepts the Northern mails, and cuts off the provisions which are usually obtained by our merchants from the Baltimore market. We may expect to experience much inconvenience, but it will be cheerfully born. Considerable relief has been afforded by the issue of one thousand dollars, in small notes, by the Farmers' Bank of Virginia, within the past day or two. But fractions of dollars are still needed, which we shall soon have under the authority of the corporation. Moe CŒur.

From Norfolk.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, May 2d, 1861. Our port is entirely blockaded. Vessels cannot pass in or out through Hampton Roads or up James river. There are several vessels of war lying in and near the mouth of the Roads. The steamer Baltimore lies off Newport News, commanding the mouth of James river. The Baltimore steamers, heretofore plying regularly between this port and Baltimore, have been stopped. The mails brought down yesterday by thJames river. The Baltimore steamers, heretofore plying regularly between this port and Baltimore, have been stopped. The mails brought down yesterday by the steamer Adelaide were transferred to the steamer Coffee, and brought up by her to Norfolk last evening. The steamer Coffee, however, is not permitted to return. She will, however, I understand, go to Fortress Monroe to-day under a flag of truce. We are fastened in, in part; but, thank God, blockade or no blockade, we have other resources that cannot be impeded so easily. The supply of water at Fort Monroe is getting short--a half pint to each man is all that has been allowed for a
