VOLUNTEERS ARRIVED.


We noticed, in Postscriptin our last weeks
paper, the arrival of the Edgecombe Volun-
tcers. We were in error in putting down the
number at 1856. We have since learned that
they only numbered 1877; but some more have
arrived since, and there is no doubt but there
will be two Companies from that. county.
The first Edgecombe Company has been
mustered into service as Company B., with
the following officers: Lewis d. Wilson, Cap
tain; Josiah S. Pendcr, 1st Lieut.; VIM. H.
Move, and 0. ~ Buck, I'd. do. The second
Company is nearly full, and has been organi-
zed under the following officers: w. S. Du-
gan, Captain; S. H. Moye, 1st Lieut.; and
William McKcrral, and Benjamin Station, I'd
do. This Company lacks only few more to
make up its rank and file. There is no doubt
that twill be full in day or two.
On Monday last, the Wayne Volunteers ar
rived. =. This Company has not all arrived
The Cars started at SO early an hour, that some
few were left, a part of whom have since ar
rived and the remainder will be here in day
or two.. The officers of the Wayne Compa-
ny arc Us follows: Henry Roberts, Captain
John H. Andrews, 1st Lieut.; and Spier Sin
gleton, and Zadoc Thompson, I'd do.
The New Hanover Company is fast filling
up its ranks, and we have no doubt but that
it will be full in few days. Its officers are ::
William j. Price, Captain; and William
B. Flanner, and John C. McRae, jr., Leuts
Allthese Volunteers have been mustered
into the United States service, by Lieutenant
Fremont and have proceeded to the United
States Quarters, at Smithville, where, for the
time being, they are remaining.
We suppose, that ere long, they will regu-
larry go into Camp, as the schr. R. w. Brown
Camp equipagc, consisting of tents, KNAPP
sacks, &c.
THE NORTH CAROLINA REGIMENT.
We now feel certain that the Regiment will
be made up in the course of a very short time.
The Fayetteville Observer of Wednesday last
says: 1.-The Company in this place is not full,
but we learn that on Saturday last they pro-
cceded to organize, by electng William Z.
kirkpatrick, Captain; Thomas Durham, LIST
Lieut.; and J. d. Beatty, jr., and William NJ.
Hartman, ID Leuts.'
4 town meeting has been called on the same
subject. -. -:
In Orange county, says the Observer, be-
tween forty and fifty names have been en-
rolled.
In Wake county, Col John H. Manly is
endcavoring TO make up a Company, and we
have no doubt but that he will succeed
The Salisbury Waterman, of the Sth inst.
says, that it learns that Company has been
made up in Mecklenburg county, and that
another had been formed in Cabarrus. The
same paper says that "there is a strong pro-
liability that Company has been formed in
Caswell. At the latest accounts, forty-one
men had enrolled their names"
p. S.-Since writing the above we have
seen a letter from the Executive Office of the
State, addressed to Lieut. Fremont, and re-
ceived here on Wednesday, stating that Com
panics had been reported and accepted by the
Governor, viz Rowan, Edgecombe, Wayne,
Cabarrus, and Iancey. The letter also states
that intelligence had been received at the Ex-
ecut;ve Office but not official to the effect that
a Company had been made up in Mecklen-
burg, His Excellency also expresses the O.
pinion in his letter that the Regiment will be
made UP in tive weeks from the time at which
he writes, (Monda ~ The letter also states
that about half the Regiment will rendezvous
at Charlotte and the other half at this place
05-We almost feel certain that by our next
publication we will be able TO announce the
completion of the Regiment.-0
