| ception practised to induce the unwary to en-

process OF formation, but unless few companies
are furnished from other State, the probabiii
| ties that it will never be COMPLETED II may
however, be sent to Washington in its "unfladged"
condition, in pursuance of the order issued by the
Secretary Of War. But this is not ALL Despite the
difficulties which haze attended the formation of
the first aud second regimn nts, a third is to be
formed; but the "authorites" " with view of faci-
tatlng the action Of the ''loyaP State of MARYLAND

the COMPARES to compose the Sd Maryland regi
ment may be formed of men recruited in Pennsyl-
vania, and two companies OF men recruited in the
District OF Columbia, thus leaving but three COM
Panles TO be enlisted in MARYLAND. This is a plain
statement of facts, and certainly indicates to some
extent, the war spirit OF Maryland.
