RUTLAND LIGHT GUARD.-The Wood
stock Standard of last week, alluded in
terms of merited compliment to the Wood
stock Light Infantry, from the ranks of
which a number of officers have been
taken. While yielding all the praise that
is claimed in behalf of the Light Infantry
we think we are justified in saying that
the Rutland Light Guard must bear of
the palm. Since the return of the Rut-
land Company from Newport News, it has
furnished for regiments since formed, one
Colonel, one Lieut.. Colonel, one Adiutant,
one Quartermaster, four Captains and six
Lieutenants, making fourteen commits
stoned officers in all. This speaks well
both as to the character of the men who
composed the Light Guard and the in
struction they received from their accom-
plished officers.
For the information of those who NAV
not know, we will add, that the material
of the Company which is left, is of about
the same quality,-not "poor stick" in
the whole "pile." We trust measures
will be taken to strengthen the organiza-
ton and increase the numbers of the
Light Guard.

- The Richmond papers say that every
train from Manassas is crowded with soldiers
who are on their return home to visit their
friends-but who have promised to come
back and re-enlist. The succession of de.
feats sustained by the rebels recently is not
very encouraging to their soldiers, and all
who can get away and seek refuge at home
will be only too eager TO do so.
