Maj. Robert Maxwell. leading citizen of

"of the fair lady of Col. Tnos j. WARREN, of
Camden" and bachelor of inviting age and
good worldly condition. With hundreds of our
patriotic citizens, Maj. MAXWELL entered tho
sc.vicc of his country, not caring for position
except to be foremost in the ranks of those who
are ready and anxious to meet the common enc

and comrades in arms in ridding the Confeder-

The Fourth Regiment.

We were misled last week in announcing
that this Regiment would march for Virginia
on Saturday last. It is uncertain when the
Regiment will leave Columbia perhaps not for
several weeks.
Tho Regiment, with tho exception Of about
two hundred mon has boen mustered into the
service of the Confederate States. THOR pla-
ces have boon supplied pretty generally by re,
cruits, who were anxious to get into the army ;
so, that tho present strength of the Regiment,
cannot be far from tho original number.
Those who did not "transfcr" hayo return
ed homo, and VIC regret to sny that their course
in this respect has been hnrshly commented on
by some. In the absence of the reasons which
induced them thus to act, VIC prefer to draw tho
veil OF charity over the transaction, being as
snrcd TINT, should our State be assailcd, none
will render hor more becoming service than
these gentlemen, in beating off the implacable
enemy that called them into service.

The First Regiment of Rifles.

COL Oar, wo arc pleased to learn, has sue.
coeded in raising his Regiment for the War;
The election for fold officers has been ordered
for Wednesday tho 10Th instant. There is VIC
understand, to bc no contest for officers. I'm.
nediately after tho Regiment is organized, Col
ORR will proceed to Richmond to press upon
President DAVIS tho Importance of having it
called at once into active service Should he
succeed, and wo have no doubts OH this point
the Regiment will then be ordered into camp
for instruction and drill. Sandy Springs Camp
ground has boon suggested as a convenient
point for this purpose.
This is the first Regiment, for tho war, that
has beon organized, so far as we can learn.

1t has not been thought prudent to publish
the number or position of our forces in Virginia;
