Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
Affairs in Lynchburg.

Lynchburg May 22
The warlike reports which have reached us during the last few days have had the effect to keep us all in a state of feverish anxiety, and to make the soldiers stationed hereabouts impatient for orders to march — so fearful are they that somebody will be hurt and they will not be there. Troops still continue to arrive. Among others which came in yesterday may be mentioned a splendid looking company from Franklin co, numbering 107 men, and commanded by Capt. Joe Hambrick.

Gen. Joseph Johnston, of the Confederate Army, reached this city yesterday, and left for Richmond this morning.

Another artillery corps is in progress of formation here.

The Letcher Greys, Capt. Kent, from Bedford, arrived this morning. O. K.
