[for the Richmond Dispatch.]note from Col.Kershaw. "Camp Charleston," near Richmond, May 6th, 1861. Editor of the Dispatch: --Permit me, through your columns, to correct an impression which seems to prevail in some quarters to the prejudice of the generous citizens of Richmond, originating in the circumstance that no public reception was given the troops of my command on their arrival here. I desire to say that, having missed the connection at Wilmington, and having been detained many hours at Petersburg by the overflowing hospitalities of "the Cockade City," we could not suppose that the time of our arrival at Richmond could have been anticipated.

From Norfolk.[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, May 6, 1861. Cut off as we are by the blockade, it is not to be supposed that we can be put in possession of much news. I will, however, give you a few items which may perhaps be agreeable to your numerous readers. We were reinforced on Saturday by the arrival of two companies, (Capt. Bell and Capt. Blodgett,) rifles and muskets, numbering 192 men, from Augusta, Ga ; and also, on yesterday, (Sunday morning,) by two companies more from the same place, rifles, numbering 92, commanded by Capt. W. C. Muegrove, of the Burke Guards, and Capt.--. They are all eager for a fight, and willing to sacrifice the life of each man in defence of Southern rights, if required. We have not as yet been attacked, or had occasion to measure arms or exchange shots with our enemy. Our market is bountifully supplied with green peas, strawberries, soft crabs, and other luxuries of the season, and all selling at moderate prices
