--The

One, if not all of three companies which arrived last week, brought more than the prescribed quota of men. There have been 104 of the
Rifle Grays mustered into service — the highest number allowed by law. The following members of that company returned to
Lynchburg on Sunday, viz:
Chas. Shade,
S. D. Fossee,
P. H. Rourke,
P. Martin,
J. Strine,
George Mitchell,
G. L. Jessee,
J. J. Smith,
M. Labby,
George W. Staples,
John Archer Fergusson and
James Hord.
It is intended to organize under
Lieut. Biggers a Company "B," of the Grays, including the above members, which, as soon as formed, will join their comrades in the field.
