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

Camp Ashland, Hanover co., Va., May 12, 1861.

Among the troops encamped here are the following companies:

Cavalry.--Governor's Guard; Chesterfield, company B; Hanover Troop; Henrico Troop; Amelia Light Dragoons.

Infantry--Young Guard, Richmond; Chatham Grays, company A; Halifax Light Guard; Mount Vernon Guard; Chesterfield Central Guard.

Riflemen.--Old Dominion Rifles, Bedford Rifle Greys.

From an observation of the troops concentrated here, I can say that a finer body of men can nowhere be found. I recognize many smiling faces from Richmond, and have been happy to meet with many an old friend. The gusto with which they partake of the cool spring water is astonishing. Havelock.
