Target practice.

--Company I. Capt. Morriss, of the First Regiment Virginia Volunteers, paraded yesterday afternoon, and celebrated their first anniversary by a target practice. --The company, after parading through the streets, marched to the valley west of the Poor House, where the target was set up, and the firing commenced. At the conclusion of the usual number of rounds, it was ascertained that Sergt. D. A. Tyree had made the three best shots, and was, therefore, entitled, not only to the Company's medal, but to the silver goblet, both of which were presented to him with the usual ceremonies.

Company I, though in its infancy, is rapidly increasing in numbers, and from present indications is soon to bear the palm from some of its older rivals. Thus far both officers and men have been very prompt in their attendance of drills, and if they continue so, the corps must succeed.
