Old Maryland in the field.

--A portion of the Marylanders now in this city, formerly connected with the Maryland Guard and Baltimore City Guard, met yesterday morning and effected an organization for operations during the present war.

The company formed numbers some 65 or 70 men of the most effective sort, who are eager to be at work in the good cause of redeeming Southern rights. The election for officers was held at their barracks, over Weston & Williams' store, on Pearl street. Lieut. E. R. Dorsey, formerly of the battalion of Baltimore City Guards, was chosen Captain, S. H. Stuart, First Lieutenant, and R. Carter Smith, (late of the Maryland Guard,) Second Lieutenant.

The company is styled Company A, First Regiment Maryland Line Virginia Volunteers. All persons, natives of Maryland, who wish to connect themselves with this company, are requested to report at headquarters, No. 15 Pearl street, to the Captain or Lieutenants. The company will go into service some time this week.
