From Norfolk.[special correspondence of the Dispatch] Norfolk, Va. May 17, 1861. Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting the old shipment of the Third Regiment of Alabama Volunteers, which are stationed just beyond Armistead's bridge, being removed only a few hundred paces from the city confines; and indeed does the tented field present a war-like appearance, and the thorough discipline of the sturdy soldiers attract large crowds of ladies and gentlemen every afternoon to witness their superior drilling. Impudence and rascality seems to be the order of the day with the Government at Washington, as is again exhibited in the landing of troops at Hampton, where it is rumored they are disturbing and harassing peaceable and unoffending citizens, and from witness, it is conjectured, they will proceed by land to Richmond, where their intentional doings can only be inferred from what they have time and again openly declared them to be. Lincoln seems to still persist in re

elected. The parties in their "talks" made no reference, as we understood, to anything they proposed to do themselves, the tenor of their information leading them to believe that all the arrangements necessary to accomplish their "freedom" would be perfected at the North. None of the negroes implicated belonged to Charles Rhodes, as stated yesterday. The following is a list of owners, names of negroes, and award of judgment in the case: Jim, slave of Samuel Harogrove, thirty-nine lashes; Phil, (Wm. Gray's,) thirty-nine; Warner and Leander, (Mrs. Clarke's,) thirty-nine each; Caroline, property of J. B. Vaughn, discharged; Martha and Lizzie, (same owner,) thirty-nine each; Armistead, (Mrs. Archer's,) discharged; George Howlett, (free,) thirty; Wilson Howlett, (free,) thirty-nine; Peter Howlett, (free,) twenty-five; Becky Howlett, Mink Howlett, and Sarah Howlett, (free,) discharged.

ds of the enemy.--Craney Island occupies the same position to-day it did then, and is to-day as much the key to our inner harbor as it ever was; the blockhouse now stands, and a portion of the embankments are there. A little expense would put them in good repair, and a few forty-two-pounders would prevent the passage of a hostile ship. It is but justice to a gallant soldier to remark that the fortifications on this island, as indicated above, were constructed under the direction of Col. Armistead, at the instance of Major General Wade Hampton. Of the two artillery companies, which did such dreadful execution in that battle, one was commanded by Capt. Arthur Emerson, of Portsmouth. Return of the U. S. Frigate Brooklyn to Norfolk. The return of the U. S. steam-frigate Brooklyn to Norfolk, on Tuesday, has been noticed. The sealed orders were not opened until she got to sea, and none of the crew knew that she was going beyond Hampton Roads. The Day Book says: She we

ng men should leave us unprotected on the sea-coast. The County Court at its last session issued script to meet the expenses incident to the formation of two companies, which have been mustered into service at the suggestion of those in authority in your city. The Court-House and Odd-Fellows hall are now their barracks, the former is occupied by a well officered and thoroughly drilled infantry corps, Chesapeake Guard, Capt. Garnett; the latter by an able and efficient artillery corps, Capt. Armistead, having four six-pounders --two of which were presented to the county some time since, by one of her devoted and active citizens Capt. John Foster. Both companies have a dress parade every afternoon, under charge of Col. Bohannon, of whom I may here speak, without flattery, as a field-officer. From youth he has studied tactics with such an interest as to qualify himself thoroughly for the office which he now holds, to which he does such credit as to make him worthy of some higher posi

Mayor's Court. --The business of this Court was transacted yesterday in a very short time. Ann O'Riley, charged with assaulting Mary Eagan, was acquitted. Wm. S. Poindexter, intoxicated and "fussy" in the First Market, was discharged. Carter Smith, a free negro, was ordered 15 lashes for deserting from the fortifications below the city, and indulging in a "bender." Patrick Cafary was committed for getting drunk and lying down in the street.--John Dornan was held to bail for drawing a knife on Gus. A. Lyons. Armistead, slave of J. M. Skinner, a levanting darkey, was committed to be called for.

Re-enlisted. The 40th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Col. John M. Brockenbrough, stationed on the Northern Neck, have re-enlisted for the war. In the 57th Va. regiment, Col. Armistead now stationed at Howard's Grove, near this city, a considerable number have re-enlisted for the war, and it is presumed that nearly all will do so. The men are devotedly attached to their Colonel, and anxious to be led to battle by this brave and accomplished officer. It will gratify the friends of the regiment to learn that its sanitary condition is rapidly improving, and that the sick list is now quite small.
