We observed yesterday that the masonry closing two of these casemates, pointing towards Fort Moultrie, has been removed, the guns for those casemates being completely mounted. Two additional companies of volunteers, who have entered the service of the State for six months, arrived in the city yesterday, and, without arms or equipments, were marched on board the steamer Excel, for secret service. The first company, under command of Captain Spires, and Lieutenants George Robinson, F. C. Barber and Henry Key, numbered over one hundred strong, healthy-looking men, from Hamburg. The second company, styled the "Cherokee Pond Volunteers," numbered eighty-two men, nearly all of them young fathers, eager for service. They were commanded by Captain Meriwether, and Lieutenants A. P. Butler and D. L. Shaw. The Palmetto Guards, as well as a portion of the Irish Volunteers, were also out on duty during the night. The Lafayette Artillery and the German Artillery returned to the

The telegraph agent in this city received yesterday a message from his colleague at Mobile informing him that the citizens of that place had taken possession of the telegraph there, and had stopped a dispatch in cipher from the Navy Department to the commandant of the navy-yard at Pensacola, and would not permit it to be forwarded.-- Washington Nat. Int. Public Meetings in Virginia. A meeting was held in Gloucester county, Va., last week, at which resolutions were adopted requesting the County Court to levy a tax for the arming of a sufficient military body in that county. In Shenandoah county, Va., on the 3d inst., a meeting passed resolutions, among which were the following: That if the Legislature of Virginia think it advisable to appoint delegates to the contemplated Baltimore Convention, they are hereby reque

On the "Hickory Road," Chesterfield, about two miles and a half from Petersburg, Va., is to be seen hanging in effigy the Hon.

Over his head is a placard informing the public whom the effigy is intended for. Underneath the gallows is a platform and t

ting from their explosion, when they did explode, were but few. A very little work will place the interior of Fort Pulaski in such condition as to remove the men within it beyond the reach of even such casualties. The Governor, whose entire action in this matter is, we repeat, beyond all praise, has placed at the disposal of Col. Lawton, in addition to the usual armor of each soldier, one breech-loading carbine, throwing, in the hands of an expert marksman, sixteen rifle balls a minute, Colt's revolver, and one sabre. The ditch around the fort is being rapidly cleaned out under the orders of Col. Lawton--rice-field negroes having been placed at this work. The Servants in the field.

Letter from vice President Breckinridge. Hon. John C. Breckinridge has written a letter to Gov. Magoffin, of Ky. in which, while favoring the compromise propositions of Mr. Crittenden, he expresses himself as utterly hopeless of their being adopted. He concludes as follows: The immediate question now presented is, peace or war. Whether the right of a State or States to dissolve connection with the federal system be a reserved right, or one growing out of the Constitution, or the right of revolution; the great fact lies before us, that the act has been done; and we are not permitted to doubt that in a few weeks seven or eight States, containing a larger population than the thirteen Colonies <

The decided majority of opinions was against you.--At this moment the answer of the South Carolina "Commissioners" to my communication to them of 31st December was received and read. It produced much indignation among the members of the Cabinet. After a further brief conversation I employed the following language: "It is now all over, and reinforcements must be sent" Judge Black said, at the moment of my decision, that after this letter the Cabinet would be unanimous, and I heard no dissenting voice. Indeed, the spirit and tone of the letter left no doubt on my mind that Fort Sumter would be immediately attacked, and hence the necessity of sending reinforcements there without delay. Whilst you admit "that on Wednesday, January 2d, this subject was again discussed in Cabinet," you say, "but certainly no conclusion was reached, and the War Department was not

The plan is to make Senator Hunter, of Virginia, Provisional President, and Jefferson Davis commander-in-chief of the army of defense. Mr. Hunter now possesses in a more eminent degree the philosophical characteristics of Jefferson than any other statesman now living.

Scott in military science or courage. A telegraph Suppressed.
