In RESPONSE TO The CALL of Col. Cantwell, acting
in obedience to the authority OF Co! Fremont the 3Oth
Regiment r.. {. Militia assembled here yesterday.
We can hardly state definitely the object of calling
this regiment together, but presume the object was to
ascertain its efficiency in numbers organization, arms
ammunition aud equipments. The notice was very
short but for all, the turnout large very large we
think. Some three captains commands failed to be
present from liability to get here in time, no doubt.
There was the material for large body Of capital troops
but except the independent companies such the In
dependent Guards speDdidy drilled and equipped, and
Col. McRae's company, and the Howard Fire compa
n.y. who are nearly all armed and drilled. there was not
much uniformity either in weapons, equipments
ments There was bone sinew and patriotism however
in any quantity.
There were two cavalry companies in ne,--Captair
Towards Citizens Mounted Guard and Captain New
kinks Cavalry from the Sound. Both companies wer
generally we'll mounted. We understand that Captain
New kinks is intended troop to he rendered to th
State OF the Conederacy. The number is nearly com
rlee. There is capital material in the troop and the,

The Mounted Guards composed of citizens of al
ages and Municipalities, but who all have something
stake in the community. They generally very wei
mounted aud equipped, and armed with the mos
effective weapons they could procure. Why is it tina
our friends above the river do not organize ard keep
one or more cavalry companies? Trey must have tn
horses any rate and they would therefore be
