Return of thanks.
St. Charles Hospital, Aug. 26, 1861. To the Editors of the Dispatch:
The soldiers of the Davis Guards and Davis Rangers, 1st Regiment Kentucky Volunteers, wounded in the recent disaster on the Central Railroad, wish to return their thanks to the Superintendent and officers of that road, for the liberality with which they have endeavored to repair our losses.
We desire also to express our gratitude to Drs. Jackson and Jones, the Surgeons, and to the committee of the St. Charles Hospital, for the skill, attention and kindness with which we were cared for. We also have to thank the citizens of Richmond, who have so generously contributed to our comfort, and especially Mr. Richardson and Rev. Mrs. Sumner, who have nursed as well as assisted us. The tender care and unwearying kindness with which Mrs. Grinnell and Miss Hussey, who volunteered to nurse us, have performed the trying task, will be remembered in our prayers.
Davis Rangers.--W. Gillmore, Lieu

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the militia — camp matters — Exchange of shots, &c. Fredericksburg, Va., Aug. 26, 1861.
I ask a little space for a brief communication "pro bono publico. " I see that some letters in your papers are rightly stirring up the militia again.
They show that Richmond and Henrico have not reached their 10 per cent. quota in volunteers; but mistakes are also said to have been made in other counties not far hence, and they have been erroneously reported as having come up to the mark.
These matters ought to be examined into.
Of course, those whose "domestic affairs demand their presence at home" think differently.
These are an abundance of recruiting officers.
The brave 1st, Regiment and others ask for more men for infantry, and competent officers are trying to form artillery companies in your city.
Men all over the State can choose either branch of the service.
Another matter worthy of attention is the great waste of useful articles g

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.troops from Southwestern Virginia--the release of Nelson, &c. Abingdon, Va., Aug. 26, 1861.
A few months ago one would have thought that no more fighting man would have been needed from this section of the State.
But it would have been a mistake; for although two regiments have been sent from this and the surrounding counties, (ten companies having been raised in Washington county,) yet more volunteers have to be raised here.
Several gentlemen are making efforts to raise more companies in this county.
Col. James T. Preston and Col. A. C. Moore are both endeavoring to raise regiments.
Both are clever gentlemen, and it is hoped that such may succeed in their landable undertaking.
I have been informed that the crops in this and the adjoining counties are very good -- There have been hard rains on several occasions.
The people here are satisfied with the course pursued by our Administration towards Mr. Nelson, of Tennessee.

From Norfolk. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Aug. 26, 1861.
It is rumored here and perhaps believed by a few, that Wool intends to attempt a landing of his forces on our coast this week, and our troops are of course ready and anxious to receive them.
It is reported that Gen. W. states that he will effect a landing or lose every man under his command.
It is not impossible that we shall have a gay time in this vicinity before the lapse of many weeks.
Our gallant tr
