a grand consort by from two to three hun

one, consisting of social, sacred, secular and
patriotic music, and was executed in a man

pupils. The several solos and Ducts were
very meritorious, and were received with evil

Tur LIeHT GUABDs.-This company, in
response 10 the assurance Of the Governor
that il would be sent into active service in
the aeld, has, through the sxertions Of Capt
John Nevins, been recruited to the Necessary
number Of men, and viii leave this evening
q six o'clock for Columbus, and will proba-
BY take its place in the s4th Regiment,
where We do not hesitate TO predict it will at
all times and on all occasions be found equal
10 the best Of its colleagues.
For some reason or other, the Light Guards
have not had extended to them the notice
and consideration which is justly their due,
When the first call was made for troops, the
company had forty members, all but two
of whom have since been in the service,
and upon some Of the hardest fought
Eslds Of the war, on every occasion dis
tinguishing themselves for courage, en-
auranee, and genuine soldierly qualities
Thit+v-one are commissioned officers, one be-
ing Lieutenant Colonel, tnow acting Colo
neI) ana there 'uainder are nOn-oOmmissiOned
officers. Besides this, the company has
formed the basis Of f,'e companies that are
now in the field, numbering over five hundred
men. The hrst-COmpany A, 9Th Regiment
WAS organized by Lieut.. Col Creighton
and is now commanded by Capt Cranti the
second, Company A, 2Sd Regiment, by Ca vt
MeElrath; the third, Company 6, 9th Reg !
iment by Capt. Lynch the fourth, Company |
/, 4lst Regiment, by Capt. Morgan; and the
hfth, the one that viii leave this evening g.
Capt. WillistOn, Of the 4lst, who distinguish
ed himself at Pittsburg Landing, was one of
the original Light Guards. In addition, the
company has kept up its organization at
great outlay, purchasing everything it
needed, and at present having on
hand some forty stand Of muskets
and equipments for sixty men. Taken
altogether, We do not believe there is
another company in the State that can show
a more honorable or praiseworthy record. It
is due to the Guards that they should receive
this mention, while it is at the same time
highly ereditable to our city, and it is to be
hoped our citizens will not fail to give to
them the show Of praise to which they are
entitled.

Richmond papers Of Friday give no details Of

truce for permission to bury thedead. Both
statements are false.
Deserters state that there was great excitement
AZ Richmond, fearing our gunbOats would pass
