Recruits

--Some one hundred men and upwards arrived in Richmond on Saturday via Central Railroad, from Allegheny county, and proceeded to the camp of instruction at the Central Fair grounds. They were mostly Irishmen--stout, hearty fellows, who have been heretofore aiding to develop the resources of the State in the interior, but have now united themselves together, and joined the other brave volunteers here for the purpose of driving back the hirelings who have announced their intention to subjugate and enslave the people of their adopted State.
