As our opportunities for collecting news are limited, I have nothing of moment to communicate. The skirmish and its sad result at Fairfax Court-House excites most interest now, the particulars of which will be in your possession before this reaches you. We have rumors of a fight, &c., at Aquia, Norfolk, Harper's Ferry, &c., but nothing reliable. We see but few papers here, and are in a measure cut off from the world. The organization of our Regiment (the 2d) is now nearly complete. Capt. Harrison, of the Black Eagle Rifles, has received the appointment of Major, and an excellent officer he will prove. He has been a most efficient officer in getting up and drilling his company. I have just heard that Gen. Beauregard has arrived here, and from all we can learn it will not be long before we

e Black Eagle company received orders to march on the 23d of April, and set out in a few hours. Most of the company assembled in Cartersville at 3 P. M., where many of our friends had assembled. A liberal subscription was made and paid up for the use of the company, which has been, so far as used, well appropriated, and contributed greatly to our comfort. The company was then marched over to the canal, accompanied by a large number of ladies and gentlemen. While waiting for the boat at Pemberton, Mr. F. D. Irving delivered an appropriate and stirring address. Then came the parting civilities, which will long be remembered by many who participated. The scene was solemn and impressive, demonstrating the truth of the lines--"The heart feels most when the lips move not, and the eye speaks the gentle goodbye."

From Camp Pickens.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Camp Pickens, Manassas Junction, June 1, 1861. With your permission, I will let the Cumberland people hear something of the Black Eagle Riflemen, of that county, as I have seen nothing in your paper of our movements.

On the arrival of the boat we were united with our companions, who had their passage at points above, and as we moved off, the silent demonstrations of our friends was such that for a time it was even out of the power of our musicians to raise the parting tune.--Messrs. Boyd & Edmond generously refused to accept pay for our passage or fare, and, through their officers, were kind to us in many ways. We were inspected and received into service on the 24th, and quartered at the Hermitage Fair Grounds, where we remained until the 27th May. During our stay there we were often visited by "loved ones from home," and the good people of Cumberland kept us amply provided with all the necessaries and luxuries of life, rendering it almost entirely unnecessary to draw up

During our stay there we were often visited by "loved ones from home," and the good people of Cumberland kept us amply provided with all the necessaries and luxuries of life, rendering it almost entirely unnecessary to draw upon the Quartermaster's Department. We can never forget the kindness of our friends and the ladies of Richmond, particularly the ladies of Mr. Lefebre's School, are we greatly indebted. They presented us with a pair of flannel for each man, and made a suit of clothes for each. These and many other evidences of their kindness and interest call for our gratitude, and now that we are out of the reach of home, friends and kind ones in Richmond, it leads but to a more grateful appreciation of their goodness. May God bless them all. We go through the regular routine of company and battalion drill, &c, daily, and are rapidly being prep
