From Norfolk. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, June 20, 1861.
A number of boys, between the ages of 14 and 17, have organized a company called the Norfolk Young Guerillas, for the protection of our city.
These young gentlemen have gone to work in a very commendable spirit, and elected their officers, as follows: Captain, H. Hall; 1st Lieutenant, S. B. Jordan; 2d Lieutenant, R. Granberry; 3d Lieutenant, A. Jordan; Orderly Sergeant, John Samuels.--They drill nightly.
David Williams, one of the hands at work on the sloop-of-war Plymouth, at the Navy-Yard, was accidentally drowned yesterday.--He leaves a wife and several small children entirely destitute.
Wm. H. Parker, Chas. B. Duffield, and a number of other gentlemen, leave here to-day on their way out West, to join Brig. Gen. H. A. Wise.

The report of the evacuation of Newport News by the Federalists, as stated by your informant, is incorrect.
There are still many teats at this point, and if anything, the number has vastly increased.
A gentleman informs me that there are no troops at Hampton, but forces stationed at and around Hampton Creek.
It is evident from Butler's movements, that an action of some kind will shortly occur; else, why the necessity of a call for more troops ? But this may be a move of deception and trickery, for which the bombastic Butler is proverbial.
A sad accident occurred at the Gosport Navy-Yard yesterday afternoon.
Mr. David Williams, rigger by trade, while assisting in raising the ship Plymouth, by means of a diving bell, by some passage of the same was wrested from his hold, and was immediately drowned.
He was fished up, and resuscitation attempted; but all to no use. He is represented as a very worthy man, and leaves a wife and five children
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Letter from a volunteer. Camp Ashland. June 20th, 1861.
In one of your late numbers there appeared a communication from the county of Amelia, written by one calling himself "Frederick." This correspondent spoke of the number of men sent from that county to the service of the country, and mentioned in terms of enology four gentlemen who had each sent four sons to that service.
In his commendation of Amelia, (my own county,) I heartily join.
She contributed liberally and promptly, and that too, of her best men. But the point in which I beg to take issue with your correspondent is that paragraph in which he speaks of the four gentlemen who contribute so many soldiers from their own firesides.
Each of them, he says, sends four.
Now, I do not desire in the least do diminish the meed of praise that is due these gentlemen for the noble offering they make at the altar of their country's good; but let justice be done, though the heavens

As I see your valuable paper is open to communication from all quarters, I have concluded to drop you a few lines from this point.
We, in East Tennessee, are in a great state of anxiety about what action the Greenville Union Convention will take, as upon it depends whether we have peace or war in East Tennessee.
I am informed, upon reliable authority, that a prominent member of the Convention, and a leading Unionist in East Tennessee, states there are four in the Convention for rebellion where there is one against it; if so, we may expect warm times in East Tennessee.
A large majority of the Unionists in East Tennessee would be willing to submit to the action of the State, if let alone by their leaders; but Johnson, Nelson, Maynard & Co., seem determined upon our destruction.--A terrible retribution awaits them.
Nelson and Maynard are the controlling spirits of the Conv
