It is with great satisfaction, (says a correspondent) he observed the patriotic and exemplary conduct of the Norfolk Light Infantry company, under the command of Capt. Calvert, on Saturday last. Composed generally of the younger class of citizens; who have on many occasions distinguished themselves in preserving the peace of the town, they were not insensible to the voice of America calling her sons to aid her in the present dangerous crisis; but gave an honourable testimony of their republican zeal, by unanimously offering their service as volunteers for the quota of men to be furnished by this Borough.
Our correspondent further adds, he has the most solid confidence in asserting. that to whatever station' the welfare of the country may call them, they will in a no less degree evince the same steady patriotism and soldier.like demeanor.
A great number of citizens of other companies; enrolled themselves at the same time ; and it is hoped our countrymen in other parts will follow the same line of conduct.
