Mintranr Movements Here —There wassome stir amonget the military companies here last night in consequence of orders for extra vigilance, and of a neture to indicate that something was in the wind. Company E, 2d artillery,U S.A., ‘was stationed at the Long Bridge with its guns tral: to rake that ee ee The Light In- meagan also stati: for the night at the same point, and were quartered in the old brick buliding formerly used asa hotel. A picket guard of cavalry was posted at two ends ef the bridge, as usual. This guard is relieved every two hours, and their horsemen dashing along the streets with the ample skirts and capes of their blue coats floating in the breeze, and each wearing at the ummel of his high Mexican saddle a bundle of ES destined as a baiting for bis horse, are objects of unceasing in’ especially to our Po seit anetatr teen See viation, who follow with a “ hooroar’’ their limited legs will carry them. At the Columbian Armory we found the Put- nam Rifles, Captain Thistleton, on duty for the nizbt, and with special orders to be ready with loaded guns for any emergency. Thisffine com- pany now numbers 100 able-bodied men, of the right stripe, and is a credit. indeed, to the Seventh Ward. A very picturesque and busy spectacle wes presented on entering tae Armory. The drill Toom (lower floor) wes completely alive with the various squads) Some were going through the atiast of anmcsader impromptu drill sergeants, end the sbarp clung of their “order arms” upen the stone floor m-king lively military music Others were occupied in placing their names upon the buff straps of their newly-received mus- kets. These arms are the Government minie mus- ket, with the Maynard primer, but capable also of using the common percussion cap in case of emergency. One group was clustered abont a heavy, lead-colored square box, receiving their quota of cartridges; while another wes similarly posted ata larger box, of unpainted white pine, containing some of Uncle Samuel’s military belts, which were in of disinterment for the benefit of the *: Riffes.? Some scores of Uncle Sam's browned bayonets were in the course of ulation and being adjusted to the muskets mewhat later in the night, some of the “Riftes” turned in to their quarters (luxurious couches of pine boards,) for a little sleep, and precious little it must have been, for about this time the majority of the company formed in single file and to the music of ‘ihe girl I left bebind me,’ upon a violin and with vocal ac- companiments, commenced that famous rotary march seen frequently at the breaking up of a camp-meeting, end sometimes put through with scch unction by the bed-less ones upon a crowded steamboat excursion. The ‘Putnam Rifles” are a@ lively set, and will “keep things moving,” whether in peace or war. NEW COMPANIES Captain Balbach’s company, the Washington Rifles, has grown so rapidly in numbers since the war news broke out, that it has been determined to form a second company. Company E, National Guard Battalion, Capt Morgan, turned out so numeronsiy yesterday at tte War Department, that the-surplus over ene hundred privates, when they ascertained that the ‘erpinent would not accept more than that mber in any one company, determined to form themselves the nucleus of another company, and expect to have 2 complement of men therefor ina dayortwo. This company turned out 35, instead of 1 trong, as stated yesterday. ‘The Unton Volunteersare dramming uprecruits, and expect to have a full company by to-morrow. Their officers alresdy elected are Capt. James Fieteter, and Harry Duncan, ist Lieut A meeting was beld last night at the restaurant of Kaki & Rupp, Seventh street, oppesite the market-bouse, at which the skeleton company, to be called Company F, Washington Light Infantry Battalion, was formed. It is understood that the command of this compsny, when organized, will be tendered to Mr. CR. Bishop, formerly of the first coznpany of the National Guards ‘The Cameron and Watson Guards, Capts. Elder and Stewart, are taking vigorous measures to place their several commands on a war footing. Last night a new company was organized at the Navy Yerd, at the first call made in the afternoon. The following were elected officers: W. P. Fer- guson, Captain; Lieutenants, ist, Jos. G Carroll; 2d, W. Nottingha: 3d, James B.

M resigued his commission yesterday. PREPARATIONS FOR MORE TROOPS Carpenters are now erecting a stable 2U0 feet lonz on Deiaware avenue, near the Capitol, for a compeny of artillery expected to arrive in this city soon COMPANY DRILL Yesterday afternoon the company of Washing- ton Light Infantry now in service under Captain Towers, formed ‘ont of their armory, all in uniform, with fa caps, for company drill. The superb condition of their equipments, notice- able by every observer, combiaed with their pre- cise and prompt movements fu marching and the manuel, to draw from the crowds of ladies and gentlemen ) pemerncr the avenue frequent ex- pressions of applause. TO-DAY. The Potomac Light Guard, (Georgetown,) Capt. Boyd, Lieuts Drew, Burch and McGraw, 5 ser- geants, 4 corporais, 1 musician, and 52 men, ar- r.ved aten early bour at the War Department, and reported for service. fhey were accepted and sworn in. fT he Jackson Guards, Company A, Capt. McDer- mott, Lieuts' Tucker, Duffy and O'Donnell, Quartermaster J. O’ Mera, 5 sergeants, 4 corporals, 2 musicians, and 80 privates, arrived at the De- partment shortly after 120’clock m_,and tendered their services to the Government. This company is composed almost if not entirely of men who have vip as been opposed to the politics of the presei ministration, and they desjre it to be ko to the world that they are unconditional Union men. The efforts of the officers, ably as- sisted by Lieut. Duffy, in getting up this com- pany are deserving of all praise The Slemmer Guards, Capt. Knight, came to the rtment at 12% p.m.,and were sworn into the service. At the same time nine recruits arrived for the Henderson Guards (Capt. Foxwell’s command) and were swora ic Tue Mexican Dottan Rossery —This morn- ing, at It o’cleck, the case of Charles Chas, (colored.) charged with being concerned in the robbery of Wm. Brown (colored) of $400 in Mexican and American silver dollars, was brought before Justice Thompson, the Chief of Police assisting in the examination. The evidence, for which we have not room to-day, justified the sending of the case to court, and Justice Thom son required the prisoner to give bail in $800 for his appearance at the suceeeding term. Iw consqvence of the !nclement weather of last week, whereby a great number of our citizens were prevented availing themselves of his closing out sale, our friend Riddle, of the ‘One Dollar Store,”’ has concluded to remain in the city for two weeks longer, positively to close on the first day of May. ‘hose who have not done so will of course avail themselves of this last chance, and lay in a stock of jeweiry and sliver Plated ware. See his advertisement in another column. Cuxtzx Market —No change of prices to-day Worthy of special notice. In the fish market the supply was moderate; dealers report that there is comparatively little doing at the shores. Her- ring were more plentiful at $5810 per thousand; shad range from $14 to $16 per hundred; large rock and the bunches bring 50c to 81, according to size; bunched fish, 25c. The hay market was well supplied; demand moderate; prices un- changed. DecLineD THE SeRvicx.—A letter from Mar- tinsburg, Berkeley county, Va.,to a gentleman in this city, says that orders were received by the captain a volunteer company there, to hold thenmseives in readiness to march to Harper’s Ferry, and tuke the Government Property there immediately upon the e of an ordinance of secession at Richmond. ‘he company officers re rere together and unanimously resolved to te first * Tuxatex.—Tom Taylor's new comedy, ‘The Babes in Wood,” wasa decided hit last night, more especially the part of ‘Jeremiah Beetle,” as rej ited by that true son of Momus, es J " - It will repeated to-night, gether with tue always attractive burlesque of ‘+ Mazeppa.”” By TH notice «lsewhere, {t will be seen that a meeting will be held to-night at No 532 Penn- sylvania, to orgenize yet another volunteer com- pany.

Mr. Hutchin: of Obio, Prof. Daniels, of Wisconsin. Hon. J.C. Dickev, of Pa., J. C. Vaughan, of Kansas, and G.P. Edgar. Ex-Gov Bibb, of Ohio, was called on for a speech, but as it was late he made buta few remarks, and consented to speak at the same place thisevening. During the intervals of the speaking Mrs Prof. Daniels, of Wis., sung ‘‘The Star Spaggled Banuer,”’ ‘Columbia the Gem of the Ocean,’ and ‘Hail Columbia,” with an ac- companifent upon the melodeon. The follow- ing resolptions were read and discussed, and laid over unt! to-night for adoption: “ Unitgd we Stand ’’—Whereas, some of the States, posing the United States, have assumed an attitufe of detiance and hostility tothe Federal Goveromgnt; and, whereas, we admit the right of no State tosecede from the Union, to renounce her own{or to absolve her people from their alle- giance ti to; and, whereas, ‘the unity of gov- ernmentavhich constitutes us one le,” bas been thejmain pillar of our real independence, of our prosyerity and greatness as a nation, and of the respert we bave commanded abroad; and, wheréas, we do as our fathers did before us, cher- ish a ‘cogdial, habitual, and immoveable attach- ment to gur National Union.

And we further declare, that we will hold all men, inhabitants of any of the States, as traitors and enemies who will not thus support and sus- tain the Union, the Constitution, and the National Government; conscientiously believing that unless “we, the people of the United States,’’ are loyal to our Union and Government in this dark hour of trial and pert!, we stall be false to our fathers, false to ourselves, false to our children, and false to freedom; and shall sink into anarchy only to emerge into despotism, and thereby justly become a scorn and a hissing, a by-word and reproach in it of the civilized world. ks 1N ALEXANDRIA —From this merning’s Virginia Central Railroad suffered another landslide yesterday. It took place near Rocktfish Stition, and detained the trains, so that the Lynchburg train, due in this city at 130, was compelled to remain on the Charlottesville side of the treck, and exchange passengers with the up train, which left Alexandria at7o’clock in the morning, and which was prevented from proceed- ing to Lynchburg by the slide. Both trains then pe Se one to Lynchburg and the other to Alexandria,—the latter arriving here about 3 o’clock. The announcement that a Confederate States’ flag would be hoisted on the flag-staff at the Mar- shall House, coilected quite ae e sssemblage in that neighborhood yesterda ternoon. ‘The flag was hoisted about 4 o'clock, and greeted with cheers and a salute of artillery. The weather continued up to yesterday to be very unpropitious for the Potomac fisheries. Several American flags in addition to those already up, were raised yesterday at private resi- dences inthis city. “4 i Reporte ARRE*T FoR Murper.—A gentle- man from Baltimore stated e bad throes that caused the arrest of John Mylan in that city, for killing police sergeant Jordan.
