The Daily Dispatch: June 22, 1861., [Electronic resource], From Norfolk. (search)
olk. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, June 20, 1861. A number of boys, between the ages of 14 and 17, have organized a company called the Norfolk Young Guerillas, for the protection of our city. These young gentlemen have gone to work in a very commendable spirit, and elected their officers, as follows: Captain, H. Hall; 1st Lieutenant, S. B. Jordan; 2d Lieutenant, R. Granberry; 3d Lieutenant, A. Jordan; Orderly Sergeant, John Samuels.--They drill nightly. David Williams, one of the hands at work on the sloop-of-war Plymouth, at the Navy-Yard, was accidentally drowned yesterday.--He leaves a wife and several small children entirely destitute. Wm. H. Parker, Chas. B. Duffield, and a number of other gentlemen, leave here to-day on their way out West, to join Brig. Gen. H. A. Wise. Lincoln's serfs at the Rip Raps have been amusing themselves for several days by firing shell at our battery on Sewell's Point; but with no effect. They fall harmless.

ts at this point, and if anything, the number has vastly increased. A gentleman informs me that there are no troops at Hampton, but forces stationed at and around Hampton Creek. It is evident from Butler's movements, that an action of some kind will shortly occur; else, why the necessity of a call for more troops ? But this may be a move of deception and trickery, for which the bombastic Butler is proverbial. A sad accident occurred at the Gosport Navy-Yard yesterday afternoon. Mr. David Williams, rigger by trade, while assisting in raising the ship Plymouth, by means of a diving bell, by some passage of the same was wrested from his hold, and was immediately drowned. He was fished up, and resuscitation attempted; but all to no use. He is represented as a very worthy man, and leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss. A dispatch was received here on Tuesday, from Ohio, stating that her troops would be recalled from the Lincoln Government. I hope it may be true.

Movements of Gen. Cadwallader--Capture of prisoners, &c. Gordonsville, June 21. --Gen. Cadwallader commanded the Federal troops approaching Harper's Ferry. He has retired beyond Hagerstown, and Harper's Ferry is again held by our troops, consisting of 400 to 500 Marylanders. Gen. Johnston is at Winchester. Two prisoners of war, taken at Williams port, will go to Richmond to day. One is Lieut. Col. Bowman, of the Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment; the other Maj. Chase, connected with the Adjutant's Department, same Regiment. They are under charge of Colonel Thomas, of the Maryland Volunteers, who carries the official report of the engagement at New Creek Depot. Winchester now commands the whole Valley as a strategic position. Gen. Johnston's movement from Harper's Ferry toward Martinsburg to meet the enemy, instead of being a retreat was an advance upon the enemy, who were approaching by Williamsport and Martinsburg. Gen. Johnston's march was North. He also
