Richmond Light Guard.

--There are now over 64 ‘"good and true men"’ enrolled on the list of this company. At a company meeting held yesterday, the following officers were elected, viz: Gustavas A. Wallace, Captain; Jas. W. Spalding, 1st Lieut.; A. B. Shepherdson, 2d Lieutenant. The men are to be armed with the deadly Mississippi rifle, with sword bayonet attached. The company has an abundance of good soldierly material in it. Col. Spalding, 1st Lieutenant, is known here favorably in the volunteer service and in literary circles. He was the 1st Col. of the 179th Regiment, and helped very much to form the Young Guard, of whom he was the first drill master and friend.
