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 receiving offers of volunteers from all parts of the State. A flag of the Confederate States now waves over our State Capitol. Messrs. Syme & Hall raised one over the "Register" office, with fifteen stars, amid great enthusiasm. Adjutant General Hoke, of North Carolina, has issued an order, under the Governor's direction, for the enrollment of 30,000 volunteers. The "fiery cross" of resistance is flashing all over the State. With regard to the seizure of the Fayette Arsenal by 2,200 North Carolina troops, the State Journal says: The United States officer in command of some sixty troops, seeing the demonstration,

Rumor having reached us that Abraham the 1st had called upon the different States for troops, and knowing that the object could be nothing less than a war upon the seceded States, our volunteer corps was summoned together, and immediate preparations were made to march at a moment's notice to the scene of action. A warlike spirit prevails in our midst, and the company (Mountain Rifles) has received a large addition to its ranks.--Patriotic speeches were made by Col. John T. Anderson, Green James, Esq., Rev. Mr. Hart, Rev. Mr. McGuire, and the Rev. Mr. Corrin; also, by Henry Johnson, Esq., and others. A proposition was then made that funds be raised for the purpose of providing for the families of the volunteers who were to go to the field of battle. No soldier was expected to contribute. The list was immediately headed by a Mr. G--, of Pennsylvania, with the handsome sum of one thousand dollars; and in the course of half an hour about $2,500 were raised, with the pledges of ma

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." We learn from personal friends of Lieutenant Colonel Stuart, whose left ankle was badly fractured on Sunday by the accidental discharge of a musket at the armory of the Law Greys, that his condition has much improved, though he yet suffers great pain. 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 th

The ladies of our town are working night and day on coats, pants, flannel shirts, and other articles necessary to the full equipment of these companies. Large and most liberal private subscriptions have been made by our citizens for providing all needed supplies. 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

eady for marching orders. At present they are quartered at the Virginia Military Institute, in room of the corps of Cadets now in your city. 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.

r the repulse of the Northern troops from Maryland. Intimation was this morning thrown out that the important work of fortifying the heights surrounding the city is to be commenced forthwith, and would be persecuted with every means at their disposal. Experienced engineers are said to be now engaged in selecting and surveying the most eligible defensive points. The rumor which was most eagerly repeated this forenoon, and which occasioned unbounded satisfaction, was, in effect, that Jeff. Davis was rapidly advancing northward, at the head of 100,000 troops, and might be expected at Richmond, or its vicinity, in the course of a few days. The advance guard of this force — comprising 5,000 South Carolinian--are expected, it is said in this connection, to reach Norfolk in a day or two at farthest. --The rumor was based upon a private letter from well-informed Southern sources, received, it is said, by a merchant of this city.

In addition to these, a large number of the citizens over 45 years of age, and heads of families, have 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.
