Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
from the Camp at Ashland.

Camp Ashland,
Hanover county,
May 14, 1861.
Nothing of importance has transpired since my last. All is going on well. The different companies are drilling in squads up and down the race track, and in double quick time. I visited the Hospital this morning, and am happy to inform you that only two are on the sick list. With such kind treatment as they receive, I have no doubt in a few days they will be O. K.

Last evening the Goochland Cavalry arrived at this Camp, and are quartered in the Methodist Church. They are a noble set of gentlemen — I think from eighty to one hundred men — commanded by Capt. Harrison.

Havblock.
