BALTIMORE TROOPS MUSTERED INTO THE
SERVICE OF VIRGINIA.

Yesterday it was pleasure to witness the
mastering in of the First Company of the 10th
Regiment, Virginia Volunteers. The company we
refer to is that of Capt. Z. r. Dorsey, late OF the
Baltimore City Guard, ana is composed wholly of
Baltimoreans; and in a few days satisfied
we can announce the regiment full, to be composed
entirely of citizens of Maryland. C4pG. 10. sey
can be Justly proud of his command, for in its
ranks can be found the best blood of Mary land
There we find the Howards, the Goldsb0roughS, the
TbOrntons, the Stewards, and many others whose
names familiar to every one conversant with
the history of the gallant old State. No mercenary
motives prompt these young men to come into our
midst and volunteer their services to the State of
Virginia. for there is not a man amongst them but
has sacrificed much, and in many instances, their
ALL in flying to the defence of liberty and right.
In its ranks gentlemen of wealth and character
who have left the iuxuries and comforts of home to
endure the hardships and privations of the tented
field.

Among the privates named above is Captain
Fisher A. White, who was commander OF the
"Louisana Grays" in the Florida war. He a
resident of Baltimore till the time of the invasion
of that city by the Black Republicans, when
his strong Southern proclivities drew him away
to unite his fortunes with those who were battling
with the oPpressor. Capt. w bite owns to 81 years,
but he is yet 1.-THE of limb, hale, hearty and vgor-
Gus. Such examples are worthy of emulation
May he live many years, and see the rank grass
growing the graves of the enemies of the
South. The Baltimore boys form a second company
to-day.
The Folly OF MAKING WAR TO ESTABLISH UNION.
In short, and are of the opinion, that the
Union cannot be preserved by force Of arms, and
that even if it could, it would longer be free
government, but to the State States coerced a
despotism. As the result of such war would not,
in all probability, be reunion, but perpetual alien
alton, and as the war itself would be disgrace to
cviliza ton and Christianity, causing untold mise
ries, desolaton and Slaughter we have counseed
and do still counsel peace; trusting to the chances
of reconstruction, By common consent, at no dis
tant day, or at any rate, of friendly relations, ad
vantageous commercial and postal treaties, &c,
&c.-N Y. Journal Of Commerce.

The death of Hon. o. NJ. Crutchfeld, Speaker oil
the Virginia House of Delegates, is announced in
the Richmond papers. The Dispatch thus eulogizes
him:
He was an enlightened and true-hearted Virginia
statesman and genuine Virginia gentleman-"one

row the loss whieh the death of such man entails
upon the State and upon society.
The Richmond Examiner advises the Secessionist
to let Washington co. and direct their attention
Cincinnati, which it declares the most vulnerable
on the border. By occupying the Kentucky hills
opposite Cincinnati, the Examiner says the city
could be laid in ashes. 1t advises the Southern
troops to form their plans secretly, and improve
this rich opportunity.
