City — Battalion.

--The 25th Virginia battalion, better known as the City Battalion, Col. Wyatt M. Elliott, who, since their organization, have been on duty in this city, yesterday morning moved to Chaffin's Bluff, their place in this city being supplied by the 28th Va. battalion, Hunton's brigade. As the City battalion passed down Main street the troops presented a really splendid appearance, and were loudly cheered by the citizens. The men are delighted with the change. The constant guard duty they had to perform here was excessively wearisome.
