--The first Regiment of Virginia Volunteers, now at Camp Pickens (Department of Alexandria) is organized as follows:‘ Colonel, P. T. Moore; Major, Wm. Munford; Adjutant, S. P, Mitchell; Surgeon, J. S. D. Cullen; Assistant Surgeon, Thomas E. Manry; Acting Quartermaster. Lieut. Wm. H. Palmer. John Dooley, Captain 1st Co., James K. Lee, Captain 2d Co., Wm. O. Taylor, Captain 3d Co.; J. G. Gris wold, Captain 1th Co.; F. J. Boggs. Captain 5th Co.; Wm. H. Gordon, Captain 6th Co., F. Miller, Captain 7th Co.
Capt. Mitchell, in addition to his Regimental Adjutancy, has been appointed by General Bonham Adjutant of the entire camp, or post.
Since its arrival in camp, the Regiment has acquired a considerable (but not undeserved) reputation, and much praise for soldierly acquirements and efficiency. To show the pluck and stamina of our boys, we may state that a few days since, on a false alarm, they marched four miles in thirty minutes to meet the enemy.
