The Wickford Volunteers, numbering be-
tween fifty and sixty, arrived yesterday morn
ing.
\ The Third Brigade, Gen. Stedman, has Ia
kcE up It's march towards Foster, where, with
the Fourth, Gen. Greene, it will maintain
chain Of posts IN the rear Of the insurgents.
and near The Connecticut line so as to cut off
the retreat. The greatest fear Of our men is ;,
that the enemy will fee to Connecticut,
where, OF course, they would be safe, as Gov.
II Cleveland would not surrender them upon
rcqulsllion. The force in the rear Of the in.
surgents will probably be about one thousand.
II The force which was guartored at Fruit
Hill on Sunday night, probably marched to
Greenvllle yesterday morning, where it will
be joined by re.enforccments, and will occu-
| py that post. Another force is to be march
ed TO Mashwopsccut Pond, by The Scituatc
factories.
II The Cadet Company has marched IN the
| direction Of Woonsocket. 1t will be Joined
| by u company fom Manvlc, and another from
some other part OF the county. The whole ;,
under the command of Col. Martin, will oc-
cupy Woonsockct. The Marine Artillery
and Light Infantry have gone out Of the city :.
we presume towards the northeast corner o.
Scituaie or to Greenvillc. 1t will be seen
that the insurgent force is thus surrounded
on all sides, and the different detachmcnls
Il will, we suppose, gradually close in upon IT,

Olney, parudcd yesterday morning, and went
II out To practice firing at target. They alrea-
/ dy number over forty men, and their appear.
ance cxcItcs universal admiration The for
nation OF the company was only commenced
two days since.
/ A company Of about $50 volunteers, from
H Tiverton. Little Compton, Portsmouth and
| Mddletown, arrived here this morning, in the
steamboat King Philip, from Fall River.
The United Company Of the Train of Artil-
lcry, has been reorganizeda and numbers sixty
men, true and faithful. 1t will bo one of the
most efficient companies in the State.
A company of horse, VIC learn, has been
formed, and will be ready for service.
through Chepachet, yesterday afternoon, in
the mail stage, reports the olate Of affairs
| much the same as we have already given.
| The number Of men is from 700 to 1000.
/ Their picluets were out several miles, and
were strong. They did not challenge the
stage, but party met it carrying in a pris-
oncr, in n gig. They said they had a mum
Der of prisoners. They did not credit the
accounts Of the stroUg and determined force
here, but were under the impression that our
men were forced to fight.
H The steamer Belle arrived here yesterday
morning from New York. The mail brought
dispatches for Colonel Bankhcad, command
or of the United States forces in Newport.
| Ii was very naturally surmscd that these
dispatches related to the affairs ct our State,
| and contained orders for Colonel Bankhead
to bring out the United States troops. We
| understand that this rumor is not correct.
| Sufficient time has not elapsed since the out
| break assumed it, most serious form, for the
intelligence TO reach Washington and return
here.
H A ridiculous story has been circulated that
II the government was pressing men into the
/ service of the State. Tho State Of Rhode
| Island asks none Of her citizens TO fight in
her cause, save those who deem 1t a privilege
aud an honor. So far from pressing men, the
Il government is only embarrassed in providing
| { r the hundreds that are locking to the stand.
| ard OF laws.
\ The Co!ored Population of our city, have
come forward in The most honorable manner,
| and taken upon themselves the charge Of the
II fre.cngines. They have pledged themselves
II 20 assist IN protection OF property from fire
| and plunder, while the other inhabitants nre
| Engaged in tho defence Of the State. One
/ hundred are enrolled on the list Of the lly-
trauon No. !.
H We are informed by gentleman who was
/ present. that a somewhat serious ailray occur
| red in Pawtucket last evening. A guard was
stationed at the bridge towards sunset, to
prevent The ngress of persons from the other
| side. a number of attempts were made to
break the guard by running carriage over
the bridge at full speed, winch were repulsed.
H The persons in The carriage perslsting IN their
attempts to cross, the guard was ordered to
Il fire, md the carriage passed on. Whether
any person in the vehicle was injured, we
have not asceraiued. We exceedingly re-
| grct to learn, that MIR. Brown, n member of
| the Kentlsh Guards, was very badly hurt in
the head by n stone thrown by some ono in
the crowd
The Kentish Guards, sent to Pawtucket
last evening, were attacked by mob Of
insurgents near the bridge, and two Of
their number injured by missiles thrown
| by the mob. The Guards fired first
over the heads ofthe insurgents, but find
ing they were bent upon mischief, they
fired for effect, ard killed one and wound
ed several others, when they dispersed.

/ We have every reason to suppose that those
of the suffrage party who have acted in good
