From Yorktown.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Yorktown, May 30, 3 o' clock P. M. A brief sojourn here of twenty-four hours enables me to give you a brief account of the movements hereabouts, and the condition of things at this place and Gloucester Point. On our arrival here yesterday, every thing seemed quiet, but in an hour or two there was a general movement of Orderly bearing orders, and soon all the troops were in commotion. Information flad reached headquarters that the enemy was advancing upon Yorktown. Of course immediate steps were taken to prepare for their arrival and give them a warm reception. At about 7 ½ o'clock P. M. the troops were all posted in battle array, and we had the opportunity of seeing all the arrangements for a battle.--But the enemy didn't come, and so we were deprived of the privilege of seeing and being in a battle — yes, being in--for though a mere visitor to the post, we were under arms and ready for the fray.

Most of our men were under arms all night. About sunrise, the 3d Regiment, embracing Capt. Walker's Virginia Lite Guard and other companies from Richmond, marched into Yorktown. They were covered with dust and somewhat fatigued by the march over that sandy road from Williamsburg. They had received orders to march after the information of the advance of the enemy had been brought to this place. They left Williamsburg about 1 o'clock last night. The Richmond boys are all well — some of them had a few blisters on their feet. I suppose you have heard before this time of the daring exploit of a detachment of the sixteen Howitzers, who took some stores the other night from the very hands of the enemy and almost from the very months of the guns at Fortress Monroe. It was an expedition that would have done credit to McCullough's Rangers. I would give you the names of those sixteen young men, but soon the names of them all will be recorded as heroes in the revolution. Scribo.
