Military This is at present the all-absorb-
ing topic among the young men of Richmond,
ana If the spirit is not suffered to die out, we
may confidently expect a large increase in the
numbers and efficiency of our sodiery before
the Spring muster takes place. The First
Regiment is in better condition than at any
previous period, and the companies receive as
they deserve, high cornmendation for their
perseyering efforts. The troop of horsemen
are going ahead with their arrangements, and
will probably make selection of uniform at
their meeting next Monday night. No regi-
ment, however is complete without an Artil-
lery corps, and we are gratified to know that
movement is in progress for the organization
OF establishing the howitzer field battery was
suggested some weeks ago by one of our prom
inent military men, and the success thus far
IN the enrolment of names gives promise of a
favorable result. The Legislature will doubt
Tess bestow much attention upon the volun-
teer service during the coming session. The
heid-pieees heretofore used answer very good
purpose in firing salutes on the Fourth OF
July, but beyond that they are of little ac-
count. Every demand for guns should be
supplied by the modern inventions. which in
time of actual service could be used with ef-
feet.
Military matters in other parts of the State
are fiourishing. Tile Petersburg Artillery
lCapt. Nichols) paraded fifty strong on the
FAR Grounds there n day or two ago. A gem
tleman from Gloucester informs us that there
are three efficient uniformed companies in that

equipped and well ted, can be called TO-

able accounts come 10 US from various sec
