He was yesterday brought to this city in charge of the officer and will be taken to Sacramento tomorrow. ENLISTING -- Captain STEUART (not STEWART, as commonly written), who is raising a company of Infantry in Calaveras, has procured about 40. The company is said to be rapidly filling up.

He is a Scotchman by birth; has been an officer in the American army during the war with Mexico. He was severely wounded in Mexico. Some of his present company are men who were with him in Mexico, who bear testimony to his competency as an officer, and his bravery as a soldier.
