NORFOLK VOLUNTEERS.
We extract from the Norfolk Beacon of
Tuesday last, the following article:
The Junior Foiunieers, Captain John M
Gibbons, yesterday celebrated the anniversary
OF their formation asa corps, by public pa
rade and cold collation.. They were Joined
on the occasion, by the Independent Voiun-
teers, Capt. Capron. Both companies wore
their new caps, which gave them an unusually
| martial appearance. After performing num-
her of manouvres, in the true esprit du corps
they fired salute in good style and dismissed
about half past 3 O'clock. They leave here
on Thursday, to celebrate the Anniversary
of Independence with the elegant Military
Corps of Petersburg and Richmond. The
spirit which animates the Petersburgers on all
bal hospitality of that Republican town, will
give new zeal to the Birth Day of Freemen,
and bind still closer the fraternal attachments
that have been happily kindled on former oc
casions Of this kind.-Independent of the
incentives to Military ambition and good sol
diership, which such associations produce,
they tend to inspire mutual confidence III the
youthful defenders of their country, and to
cherish the most enyiable feelings and senti-
ments."
The Norfolk Volunteers momently looked

ANOTHER FIRE.
| Between and O'Clock on Tuesday morn
ing last, the two-stOry wooden building on
i High street, opposite Mrs. GiifiGm'S adjoining
Nh. .Nottner's residence, and occupied by Mrs.
WnrrtH, took fire, and although The roof had
fallen in before the Engines reached the spot,
the active efforts of the Companies were such,
as to arrest the progress of the flames before
the house was entirely consumed. The fire, we
learn, originated accidentally, and understand
that the property was insured. H.
