Captain Kirby is an able officer and
thorough drill master, and deserves encour-

his untiriDg energy in effecting military
organization. His object is to enlist as many
men as possible in order to place them in a
condition for active service in the defense of
7 the city whenever occasion may require. We
hope to see the Captain soon surrounded by
full brigade.
