Ladies' Home Guard.

--We copy the following from the Petersburg Express, of yesterday morning, as an evidence of the spirit animating the ladies of that place:

Ladies' Home Guard.--At the suggestion of those patriotic volunteers who passed through here on yesterday afternoon, and were surprised to see so many hale, hearty men meet them at the depot, the ladies of Petersburg propose holding a meeting at some early day, at a convenient location, to form a ‘"Ladies' Home Guard,"’ for the special protection of this class of our community, who, through fear or some other unaccountable determination, have concluded to remain at home during the existence of the war.

Many Ladies. May 27, 1861.
