] Norfolk, Va., June 19, 1861. Great excitement was caused here yesterday, on the arrival in our city of three supposed spies, accompanied by a body of soldiers. They were immediately carried to head quarters, (Col. Huger,) where a brief examination took place, after which they were committed to jail. One of them, named Williams, was the mate of a sloop recently taken at Old Point, with bacon, lard, butter, &c., mentioned in a previous letter. He says he was taken prisoner at Fortress Monroe, and was compelled to sleep with negroes, and subjected to the vilest treatment; that on the day of the battle at Pig Point, in which the Harriet Lane was engaged, he happened to be looking out the window of his cell, and saw at least six wounded men being conveyed to the Fort. He describes them as being cut all to pieces, and he has no doubt that many more were thus mangled, but he was not allowed to witness them. They tried to conceal them, or as many as possible, so that the true r

Army officers prophesy that the forward movement hence, southerly, and from Fortress Monroe toward Richmond, will begin within a fortnight, and that when once begun, it will not halt until the Rebel Capital i
arms for the distinguished visitor, and I can only say, if this is a specimen of the drilling of the whole battalion, which I suppose it is, they are the equal of any regulars in the service — The apidity of every motion, executed in the some time, from "shoulder arms" to the "load in ten times," would attract admiration anywhere. Mr. Cobb told a gentleman to-day in Norfolk that this battalion was the best drilled and best behaved men he ever saw. I learn that the corps spoken of above is the "City Guard," of Columbus, Ga. commanded by Capt. Colquitt, of Sewell's Point memory. Mr. Cobb, you know, has tendered a regiment for the service; so also his brother, Thomas R. R. Cobb, of Georgia. Federal troops are continually arriving at Fortress Monroe Butler wants to try his hand next on Norfolk. Our brave soldiers will welcome him. The Beauregard Rifles and Capt. Huger's corps, both of the artillery, are ready for the enemy. The Dispatch is read here by everybody. Rambler.
