Camden station, where they were loaded on trains and dispatched, panic-stricken, to Washington. Outside the city limits, however, after the danger had passed, some heroic soul signalized his devotion to the flag by shooting in cold blood Robert W. Davis, a reputable and well-known citizen and merchant, whose crime was alleged to have been a cheer for Jeff Davis and the South. That evening, April 9th, Marshal Kane telegraphed to Bradley T. Johnson at Frederick: Streets red with Maryland bloag of Maryland should always be upheld in the armies of the Confederate States. In these eight companies there were about five hundred men. They effected a temporary organization among themselves under their senior captain, and sent up through the regular channels to President Davis their application to have their battalion organized into the army of the Confederate States, with Charles S. Winder, late captain Ninth infantry, U. S. A., as colonel, and Bradley T. Johnson as lieutenant-colonel.

This war not only won't pay as a policy, but exposes them to the most stupendous losses. What people in the world have more property or larger interests afloat upon the ocean than they? And President Davis has hit them between wind and water with his prompt and pertinent proclamation, calling for privateers. That proclamation speaks to people of all nations and tongues, and invites the daring and enterprising from every quarter of the compass. The richest prize ever offered to a belligerent power is now offered to the South by the floating commerce of the Yankees. The fairest opportunity ever offered a fleetless nation for improvising a complete navy is now offered the South by the flo
