Dispatch correspondence. Norfolk, May 22, 1861. Yesterday, a steamer which had been above Newport News, blockading the entrance to James river, attempted to go down to Fort Monroe. When nearly opposite the battery at Sewell's Point a shot was fired from that place, which brought her to. She returned the fire, but after several shots had been exchanged between them, finding she could not pass the battery, she put back to the place from which she came. She is now fastened in there, unless she passed out during the night --that was in the morning. Yesterday afternoon the tug Young America ran up within a mile and exchanged two or three shots with the fort at Sewell's Point, but being backed out by the fire from the fort, she ran off to the steam frigate Minnesota, which came up and rounded to about two miles (which is as near almost as she can approach) from the fort, and opened with shot and shell upon the battery at Sewell's Point, firing about fifteen times.

Dispatch correspondence. Norfolk, May 22, 1861. Yesterday, a steamer which had been above Newport News, blockading the entrance to James river, attempted to go down to Fort Monroe. When nearly opposite the battery at Sewell's Point a shot was fired from that place, which brought her to. She returned the fire, but after several shots had been exchanged between them, finding she could not pass the battery, she put back to the place from which she came. She is now fastened in there, unout, or rather they let her drift out of range. Her fire had no effect upon the battery, nor was any one within it the least injured. Whether she sustained any injury or not has not been ascertained. The turning back of the steamer from James river, I think, will be of great advantage, as the battery at Sewell's Point will soon be in a condition to protect the entrance, and thus break up the blockade, so far as the passage from Richmond to Norfolk is concerned, in a short time.

Yesterday afternoon the tug Young America ran up within a mile and exchanged two or three shots with the fort at Sewell's Point, but being backed out by the fire from the fort, she ran off to the steam frigate Minnesota, which came up and roundemiles (which is as near almost as she can approach) from the fort, and opened with shot and shell upon the battery at Sewell's Point, firing about fifteen times.

Platt (search for this): article 2
gers, Capt. Pate, will be armed with Jenk's carbines, which Capt. Pate fished up from the water, into which they had been thrown from the old ship Pennsylvania, at Norfolk. They are in excellent condition, and very convenient to handle, being breech-loading and self-priming weapons. They will also shoot a long distance. A negro man was shot at the South-Side Depot this morning by Mr. Bradley, the head machinist of the company. It is supposed the wound will prove fatal. The election to-morrow will doubtless attract every man to the polls who shall not be detained by sufficient cause. It is not believed that there will be a single voter opposed to ratification. Our merchants, with a good degree of unanimity, have agreed to close their doors at five o'clock in the afternoon, to allow the young men in their employment every facility for perfecting themselves in military science.--Captain Platt's company drill two or three hours both morning and evening. Mon CŒur.

rough the streets numberless rockets were fired off in the way of feu du jaie. The 2d Regiment of troops from the same State are now encamped at Weldon, and under marching orders for Virginia. They are expected every day, and will be honored with as glorious a reception as their predecessors. There are also various companies, one from Wilmington, and several from other places in the South, which will pass through here during the week — all for Richmond. It is understood that Gen. Beauregard will arrive here to-morrow, but what will be his subsequent movements is not known. It is hoped his stay will be long enough to permit our people to pay him the honor due to so distinguished a man, and one who is destined to play a most important part during the present agitations of the country. The Mounted Rangers, Capt. Pate, will be armed with Jenk's carbines, which Capt. Pate fished up from the water, into which they had been thrown from the old ship Pennsylvania, at Norfolk.

Petersburg, May 22d, 1861. The 1st Regiment of North Carolina volunteers, which reached here late last evening, on their way to Richmond, met with a grand reception at the depot. Thousands awaited their arrival; the ladies, as usual, turning out in great numbers. They were provided with supper at the bountiful tables of Messrs. Jarratt's Hotel; and as they marched through the streets numberless rockets were fired off in the way of feu du jaie. The 2d Regiment of troops from the same State are now encamped at Weldon, and under marching orders for Virginia.
