+ | The Washington Correspondent of the New York Times gives the following intelligence: | ||
+ | Col. Tait's District of Columbia Volunteers have been assigned to the brigade now | ||
+ | commanded by Col. John C. Robinson of the First Michigan Regiment, and which is doing | ||
+ | duty in guarding the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, between this city and Baltimore. Col. | ||
+ | Robinson is a Captain of the Fifth Infantry United States Army, and has been twenty | ||
+ | years in service, mostly on the frontiers. He was in command of Fort McHenry during the Baltimore riot, and though he had with him only two hundred recruits and a limited armament in the fort, by his firm course prevented the fort from being attacked. His claims are being pressed for an appointment as Brigadier-General. | ||
