Guilford in Motion.

The whole Guilford Militia has for the last week or ten days been in a state of commotion. So far, order and good feeling has prevailed. The draft in the 68^th Regiment took place Saturday last. As soon as the companies that are being formed are organized, we will give a statement showing the number in service from Guilford.

Volunteering is still going on quite briskly. The following gentlemen are forming volunteer companies for the war, with fair prospects of early success, viz:

Chas. E. Shober, Lt. Jas. T. Morehead, Jr., Lt. Watlington; dr. A. P. McDaniel; David Scott, Jr., (who was in the Bethel fight) and perhaps othes. The old companies from Guilford have also lately received large numbers of recruits. From present indications, Guilford will do her part in achieving the Independence of the Southern Confederacy.
