Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Petersburg. Petersburg, March 23d, 1861. The solemn ceremony of Ordination was performed yesterday morning at St. Paul's Church, by Bishop Johns. The candidates ordained were Messrs. George T. Williams, of Suffolk, and John S. Hansborough, of Prince George county, Va. Rev. George Woodbridge, D. D., of your city, delivered a sermon appropriate to the occasion, which, in point of argument and lucid explanation, equalled any pulpit effort I have heard for some time.

In the evening, the rite of confirmation was administered to some 20 persons at Grace Church, and to-day, to 15 more at St. Paul's.
