Department for volunteers to defend the city of
Washington from assault. In the case OF some OF
the companies portion OF the members declined to
take the oath required by the Department OF all

and the dehct IN the ranks OF said companies there
by brought them below the standard requirement

Government.

Captain Smead, who has very recently accepted
the command of the company, is said to be ex-
tremely indignant at these designations. BY rea-
son of the small number of men who mustered from
this company yesterday, the Department did not
enroll them for service.
The Washington kfes were not enrolled yester-
day on account of not having the complement of
men, rank and file, required. They were all anx-
ous to be mustered, and deeply regretted that the
notification reached the officers so late that they
had not time to muster the entire command
