L. I. Blues. --This glorious old company' commanded by Capt. O. J. Wise, has enlisted a large number of men, who are now under constant drill, and anxiously awaiting a call to perilous duty. Mr. Wm. L. Maule was elected senior 2d Lieutenant of the corps last Friday night. The Blues, who are the oldest company in the State, and can boast of historic renown, are not willing to live on the glories of the past. Their motto has ever been "upward and onward." Under the leadership of so chivalrous a gentleman as Jennings Wise has ever proved himself to be, they have become as an unit, and so act, and so will continue to act, whether as peaceful volunteers "placing soldier" or amid the din of the battle field and wars alarums. The Blues can be counted on as surely as the sun rises and sets. There is not a man, woman or child in Richmond that could not entrust his or her honor to their keeping, assured that it could be preserved to the death.
Expected arrival of South Carolina troops. --It was generally understood about the streets yesterday, that a reinforcement of troops from South Carolina, to the number of two thousand, would arrive in Richmond by the Southern train last evening. They did not arrive in the regular train, and had not arrived at 11 o'clock last night, at which hour we found a large number of baggage wagons congregated in the vicinity of the depot, in waiting. We believe that the Blues, under Capt. Wise, also repaired thither shortly after the hour named, hoping to greet their brothers in arms.

Dr. Cohoon, a wealthy citizen of Elizabeth City, is now at Suffolk, a refuges. He remained there until the enemy had possession of Elizabeth City, and, although invited back and assured that he would not be harmed, he was not disposed to trust them. The Rev Shadrach Warrell, of Gatesville, had a cargo of corn captured in Albemarle Sound. Mr. Elliott saved 79,000 pounds of Government pork, which was at Hertford. A large number of young ladies from Murfreesboro' College have reached Suffolk. The people of Murfreesboro' appear apprehensive of a Federal invasion and the shelling of that town. The town of Suffolk is crowded with refugees. The next depredations by the Federals are expected at Plymouth and at other towns on the Roanoke. A portion of the enemy's fleet is at the south and of the Albemarle Sound, and have shelled the Confederate forces there. Gen. Wise is at that point. Various conjectures are indulged as to the movements of the enemy.

Jennings Wise, Lieutenant William Seldon, and Captain Coles, were conveyed to this city this morning from Currituck, from whence the flag-of-truce boat went to Roanoke Island.

n either side, that they were forced to retire. Remaining entirely protected by the battery, and by the neighboring trees, it was seldom the volleys of the enemy took effect upon our soldiers, who only and whenever a fair mark presented itself Capt. Wise was continually talking to his men cautioning them against exposure, and directing them when it was safe to fire. It was while ordering his men to look out for a valley that he received the first shot. The remainder of his wounds were given wprisoners of war. When the Wise-Legion came first to the beach the steaming with several flats attached was slo by the shore, and it was expected that the men would have been taken off. The commander of the tug was Major Bacon, aid to General-Wise, and it was fair to present he would do all in his power to get as many as possible from the island. The men, therefore, watched his motions with great interest and saw the anchor hove up as if to come in shore. All were prepared to wade out to
