a fine looking body of soldiers, particularly the Riflemen, a large number of whom are men of wealth and position.

The fourth company of volunteers which have been formed within a few days — the McRae Rifle Guards, Capt. James S. Gilliam, was organized last night, and Capt.

From Petersburg.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Petersburg, April 24, 1861. Our city, which has been comparatively quiet for a couple of days, was enlivened today by the arrival of the South Carolina troops on their way North.

Joynes, Esq., in a patriotic address, to which Gen. Benham, the Commander, made a spirited response. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed during their transit through the city.--Flags innumerable were suspended across the streets and flying from the principal buildings, and ladies from the windows waved their kerchiefs and lent their approving smiles. The regiment numbers about 600 men.
