Capt. Rziha, of the 19th Infantry, Regular Army . . .

. . . is in the city, and we learn, remains a while here for the purpose of recruiting for his company.  The captain was in the battle at Fort Donelson, having a horse shot under him and getting hurt in the fall of the horse.  He has honorable mention in Order No. 8 of Gen. Smith, which we print in another column. – Persons desiring to serve their country in the field can hardly find a braver, more experienced or more competent officer in the service.
