Beauregard Rifles.

--Lynchburg has done nobly in the present war. Besides sending already five or six hundred men to fight the battles of freedom, three more companies are now formed there, and only wait the order to march to the scene of action. These are independent of the Beauregard Rifles, a splendid company, which arrived in our city yesterday via Danville cars. The Rifles have a peculiar red cap, by which they may be distinguished. The company numbers 93, exclusive of the officers. They were met at the depot by the 1st Regiment band, and escorted to quarters. The commissioned and non-commissioned officers number twelve, making the whole number 105. Their names are as follows: Captain, Marcellus Moorman; 1st Lieut., Blake L. Woodson; 2d Lieut. Ferdinand C. Hutter; 3d Lieut., Joseph B. Smith; Orderly Sergeant, C. R. Pholps; 2d Sergeant, John J. Shoemaker; 3d Sergeant, James K. Read; 4th Sergeant, Ed. H. Moorman; 1st Corporal, Henry D. Yancey; 2d Corporal. Aug. Leftwich; 3d Corporal, John Hurly; 4th Corporal, C. L. Burch.
