And fall while struggling brave

This said to Mr.. Lincoln and had il
from his own lips that it should be so."-
The Governor further stated that certalil
men, in different parts Of the State, had
interfered with enlisting; trying to per-
suade men not to enlist, and threatening
not to pay the federal tax. Some had said
that if they were drafted they would no'
go, and no one could compst them to 60:
He should have the power given him, and
if they would not 60 without, he would send
them tied hand and foot. If the proper
information was filed with him he would
have these neddlers put where the dogs
would not bark at them.
Adj't Gen. Baker made q few remarks, in
the course of which he said he was in favor
Of drafting, on the grounds of Justice
That many sections Of the.Stat had done
nobly-that some townships had sent al
most every able bodied man into the field,
while adjoining townships had sent but
very few. Thus the people Of one part of
the country would do the fighting, while
others would stay at home and cxpend
neither time or money, and have their
rights protected by those who do 60.
The 18th is to leave soon for down the
river, and not for Annapolis as formerly un-
derstood. The reply to remonstrance
made by the Adj't General against sending
the regiment south, was that 1.-THE 18th was
raised to fight the rebels, and the rebels are
not at Annapolis" The "boys" acquicsced
