The instruction this company will receive from the Cadets who are retained at the Institute as a guard to the arms, &c., will be of essential service should they be called into the "tented field." An Artillery company was organized here to-day. Lieut. McCansland, one of the Assistant Professors at the Military Institute, was elected Captain, and Col. McLaughlin, J. B. Brockenbrough, Jr., and W. T. Poague, Lieutenants. Other companies are being formed: one at Natural Bridge; one in the Kerr's Creek region; one at Goshen Depot; one at Fairfield, and one at Brownsburg. The services of all these companies will be offered to our worthy Governor (of whom we are justly proud,) so soon as they can be uniformed and supplied with arms.

They have elected Lieut. S. D. Ramseur, late of the U. S. A., Captain.--The Raleigh Riflemen, about 90 men. Our worthy Mayor, Wm. organized a "Home Guard," who will perform patrol duty, and will be ready for active service when needed. Ex-Governor Bragg has command of this company. Governor Ellis has called an extra session of the Legislature, to most the first day of May. Although in feeble health, he has, so far, sustained himself nobly in the present crisis. No man has a stronger hold upon the affections of the people of North Carolina at this time than John W. Ellis. The Council of State met here to-day, at the call of the Governor. They have resolved to establish a military encampment here without delay, for the purpose of drilling the volunteers. The Governor is recei

And, to cap the climax, Dr. Nich. Burks, Surgeon of the regiment, told the Secretary to put down all he was worth, which is, perhaps, $15,000 or $20,000. A resolution was then adopted inviting the volunteers to meet here and drill, until called into service; upon which resolution, the proprietors of the two Hotels here tendered the volunteers the hospitalities of their Hotels. Immense enthusiasm prevailed throughout the meeting. While the above-mentioned subscription was being taken, a slave named Wilson Prince stepped up an

Some items of news, necessarily excluded yesterday, still possess interest. The following paragraphs are from the Baltimore American of Tuesday: It was extensively rumored yesterday evening that Col. John B. Magruder, for some time past stationed at Washington, had resigned his commission in the United States Army and gone into the service of Virginia, taking with him his entire battery of Flying Artillery. This rumor, despite its evident improbability, was fully believed by many, though by the majority it was regarded as "too good to be true."

It is feared that amputation will be necessary. Yesterday morning between 200 and 300 of our most respectable colored residents made a tender of their services to the city authorities. The Mayor thanked them for their offer, and informed them that their services will be called for if they can be made in any way available. Brigadier Gen. Egerton has received by letters and personal applications, offers of regular military organizations from almost every county in the State--the companies being fully uniformed and equipped, and ready for service. At the works of the Messrs. Winans their entire force is engaged in the making of pikes, and in casting balls of every description, for cannon, the steam gun, rifles, muskets, &c., which they are turning out very rapidly.

A "Home Guard," consisting of sixty of our townsmen over 45 years of age, was readily formed on Saturday last, and organized with Col. J. M. Raff as Captain. By order of the Governor, ten thousand muskets from the Institute armory have been forwarded in 100 wagons to the railroad at Staunton, from there to be sent with dispatch to Richmond — the object being by this movement to have the flint locks on these muskets changed to percussion. Seven thousand pounds of powder have been removed from the Institute magazine, by order of Gen. Harper, and expressed by wagon to Winchester. This draft leaves near 20,000 arms, and 18,000 pounds of powder, together with other munitions of war, for further demands.
