Company B.
--The Government employees in the different Departments have shown a commendable spirit in promptly enrolling themselves into military organizations to aid in expelling the invaders from our soil.
Company B, of the
Richmond Arsenal battalion, was organized last week by the election of the following officers;
Robert Boyce,
Captain;
Francis P. Gianini,
1st Lieutenant;
George C. Cornick,
2d Lieutenant;
Poter P. Mason,
3d Lieutenant and
James T. Butler,
Orderly Sergeant.
Nearly all of the men employed in the
Government workshops including many clerks and others in the
War, Navy, State, and Treasury Departments, have formed companies for the defence of the
Confederate States Capital, and will, in themselves, form no inconsiderable barrier to the easy access of
Lincoln's myrmidons into
Richmond, should they ever get so far down
South.
