The Home Guard.

--This company, consisting only of persons exempt from military duty, has increased in a few days to more than 400 men, and is still increasing in numbers. It has been reorganized as a battalion of four companies. Wyndham Robertson, Lieutenant Colonel; Judge John A. Meredith and Col. Thos. B. Bigger, Majors; P. J. Archer, Wm. Y. Sheppard, Geo. H. Tompkins and R. O. Haskins, Captains. The protection of the city, in the absence of the younger men, will be amply provided for, by this and the other corps, of which several are organizing.
