Arrest of deserters. Thirty-eight deserters were arrested upon the arrival of the Tennessee cars at Lynchburg on Thursday. They were a part of "Captain" St. Martain's company, which was disbanded by Gen. Floyd some time since, and afterwards formed into another company and attached to Gen. Loring's command, and by him also disbanded. They arrived on the Tennessee ears on Thursday night, and found guards waiting to take them into custody.

Floyd, to be employed chiefly in the defence of Western Virginia. In consequence of the large force which had previously volunteered for service, and of the additional number called for by the Conscription Act, the amount asked for was not raised with the rapidity desired. I, therefore, on the 4th inst., issued orders calling for the militia between the ages of 35 and 45 years, from the counties of Washington, Smythe, Grayson. Carroll, Floyd, Pulaski, Wythe, Montgomery, Roanoke, Botetourt, Craig, Alleghany, Greenbrier, Monroe, Gilus, Mercer, Bland, Tazewell McDowell, Wise, Buchanan, Lee, Scott, Russell, Raleigh, Wyoming, Logan, Boone, Wayne, Cabell, Putnam, Kanawha, Mason, Clay, Nicholas, Fayette, Braxton, Webster, Pocahontas, and Randolph.
