From Norfolk.[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, Va. July 5, 1861. Yesterday, the glorious 4th of July, in all respects passed off pleasantly. The day was beautiful, and all seemed deeply inspired with its proper observance. At 12 o'clock a salute of 15 guns was fired from the ship "States," whom the Lincolnites thought to destroy.--The officers at Old Point also fired a salute from the Fortress, but we have heard of no further demonstration on their part. During the day the National Grays, of Portsmouth, and the Norfolk County Patriots, from Norfolk county, paid us a visit, which was in every way agreeable. They paraded through our streets for several hours, and attracted an admiring crowd to witness their evolutions. Father Pinakett, the esteemed pastor of the Catholic Church in Portsmouth, I understand, delivered a most excellent oration at one of the camp near that city. At about o' clock a beautiful flag was presented to the Lynchburg Beaur

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the Fourth at Camp Pickens — the comet, &c. Camp Pickens, Manassas Junction, July 5, 1861. The Fourth of July has passed! The day of the liberation of both North and South from the yoke of tyranny and oppression has fled, without the usual celebration and gaieties, without the wonted mirth and frolic; but tho' our houses (tents) have not been illuminated, and though our eyes have not feasted on the brilliant colors of the thousands of sky-rockets, roman candies, and other productions of the pyrotechnical art; though we have not been roused from our slumbers by the roar of cannons — in short, though none of those festivities have taken place which in other times announced to a free people that their greatest holiday was there, still in our heart of hearts we celebrated that day, and many a silent vow went up to Heaven that the remembrance of the "glorious Fourth" should not be lost to us, and that, with the help of God, we would establ

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Camp Ashland. Camp Ashland, Va., July 5, 1861. The New Kent Cavalry, Captain Melville Vaiden; 1st Lieut., George T. Brumley; 2d Lieut., Telemachus Taylor; 3d Lieut., Wm. E. Clopton; 1st Sergeant, O. M. Chandler; 2d Sergeant, Southey L. Savage, arrived here on last evening, from Camp Apperson, and succeeded in obtaining very comfortable quarters. There was a very patriotic demonstration of the citizens of this county on the road-side while en route for this place. The fair daughters of Hanover showered lavishly the most fragrant bouquets that could be called upon this gallant old corps. Your correspondent was fortunate enough to procure one, embracing a great variety of rare and choice flowers. There is an old veteran in this company who has five valorous sons in the Confederate army, and who is willing to sacrifice his life in defence of this country. The recent rains have served to allay the dust, and the parad

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the Fourth at Fort Powhatan. Fort Powhatan, July 5, 1861. The Fourth was pleasantly celebrated at Fort Powhatan. The ceremonies of the day were interesting, commencing by the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Lieut. Lewis, from the Brunswick Guard. After which, Lieut. Foster, from the Prince George Artillery, read the Secession Ordinance. The oration was delivered by Lieut. McBowin, from Capt. Ally's company. Dr. Worsham, from Dinwiddie, being then called upon, responded by an eloquent address, and was followed by Dr. Harrison, from Prince George.--A number of ladies were present, cheering with their beauty and encouraging with their blessings, as they always do when a good work is on hand.
