Scouts in The Camp. We don't mean in Camp
Taylor, opposite Matamoras, but in Camp
Stewart, on Chase's Hill. We stated the other
day that one of the Volunteers had been cap
volens," and yesterday we saw in the camp
wife hunting for her husband, with great ASST
duty. She stated that he had been among the
no doubt he was among the Volunteers; that
she had come out to hunt for him, and "save
him she would, or die!" that night. Whether
her search was successful or not, we cannot say.
Who can doubt the patriotism of the people,
when the son will leave the mother, and the
husband the wife, TO 90 and fight for their
country! This is great country, and we are
certainly great people, but it won't be half
big enough until the whole continent becomes
Exclusively" our own.
Maryland Cadets. At special meeting of
this corps, held at their Armory on Tuesday
evening, for the purpose of filling vacancies in
their list ofcommissioned officers, the follow
ing gentlemen were unanimously elected
Captain-Wm. A. Poor, vice R, NJ McLane,
resigned; First Lieutenant-Levi Fahnestock,
vice Poor, promoted; Second Lieutenant
Samuel Harris, Jr., vice Fahnestock, promot-
ed; Third Lieutenant-Albert Ellery, vice
Harding, resigned; Ensgn-William Wilson,
vice Ellery, promoted. We are pleased to
learn that this fine company is rapidly increas-
ing its rank and file.
Recruiting in the u S. Service. We learn
that quite large number of men have been en-
listed in the U. States Army by the recruiting
party from Fort McE1enry, within the past few
days, the majority of whom, however, have
been foreigners In the Navy it has been found
more difficult to obtain good seamen, and but
few have entered the service. We do not
doubt but that both branches of the service will
be enabled TO obtain as many men as are desir-
ed in short time, especially if some stronger
inducement were offered by the government
our Jack Tars especially, having a strong re-
luctance to ship, not from want of a proper
American spirit, but from known antipathy |
to the service. An opportunity isnow offered
to young men to serve their country, and their
services will be gladly accepted in either the
Army or Navy.
The Eula,o Infantry. A correspondent wish
es to know what has become of the "Eutaw
Infantry" company which few years since
boosted its hundred muskets' We are unable
to give the required information, but we feel
assured that the gallant spirits who once filled |
its ranks, now that the tocsin of war has been
will again be found collecting togeth-
er, and that in short time we shall again see
the "Eutaws" with full ranks and on parade.
