Henrico liberty Guard.

--The above name has been bestowed on a newly-organized company of volunteers, formed at Springfield Hall, Church Hill. The members meet nightly for the purpose of perfecting themselves in drill, and as soon as the occasion requires, design tendering their services to the Governor. In the meantime, we learn that they will petition the County Court to place the company at once in effective service by assigning the command to special patrol duty, in order that the entire community bordering on the city limits may be kept in a state of protection from midnight prowlers, incendiaries, and such vermin, who are thought, and not without reason, to infest the suburbs. The roll-book of the corps now embraces forty odd names. A call for additional volunteers will be made at Springfield Hall next Friday night, which, we have no doubt, will be liberally responded to. At a company meeting held Tuesday night the following officers were elected: Captain, A. S. Lee; First Lieutenant, Joseph J. English; Second Lieut., J. E. Satterwhite.
