Excitement at Annapolis Junction Federal Pickets Fired Upon–Arrests.
ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, July 30, 1861.
The most intense excitement was created in this locality last night by several successive reports of fire-arms. The dram in the camp of the First Pennsylvania regiment, now stationed here, immediately beat “to arms,” and the entire force was soon in battle array. Scouting parties were sent out, when it was discovered that the picket guard, stationed a few hundred yards from the camp, had been fired upon.
After a thorough search of the vicinity, two young men were found and arrested upon suspicion of having been the parties who fired. They were brought to headquarters and confined until this morning, when they were sent to Annapolis. They represented themselves as Baltimoreans, but your correspondent was unable to ascertain their names; they had no guns, but carried side-arms. Some of the soldiers who were on guard, say that three men whom they saw, but were unable to secure, carried muskets or rifles. None of them were uniformed.
The soldiers here appeared to be somewhat frightened, and no doubt when they heard the firing, thought that Beauregard was about to open upon “Gen. Scott's rear” with a masked battery. All day the men seemed to be very nervous and excitable. The picket has been doubled, and a strict lookout will be kept for the return of the attacking party. One of the picket-guard fired upon, had his cartridge box shot from his person. Passengers going to and returning from Washington yesterday, evinced considerable uneasiness upon learning this occurrence, and many expressed doubts as to the safety of the Capital. S.

The Adams Infantry - Capt. M'Pherson.
The First Regiment Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, Col. Roberts, left Camp Wayne on Sunday the 21st, and reached Harrisburg that evening. The next day they arrived at Baltimore, and encamped at Camp Carroll, near Mt. Clare Depot.
They remained there until Saturday last, when they left for Annapolis and Annapolis Junction - six companies being stationed at the former place, and four at the latter. The Adams Infantry are at the Junction of the Annapolis Branch railroad with the Baltimore and Washington Railroad. Letters and papers addressed to Annapolis Junction will reach them.
The Adams Infantry has a post of honor in the Regiment - its position being on the left. It is letter “B.” Capt. Barton's company, (Lancaster) has the right, and Capt. McCartney's company (Carlisle) has the colors.
The Regiment relieves a New York Regiment whose time had expired.

North American, August 2, 1861
Since two companies of the 1st Pennsylvania regiment (Col. Roberts,) have been stationed at the Relay House, their pickets have been constantly annoyed and once injured by the firing of some marauders in the neighborhood. Extra vigilance was resorted to, and on Tuesday night two out of five who had fired upon them were captured and sent to Fort McHenry. They will, it is hoped, be summarily dealt with.

LETTER FROM 1st REGIMENT P. R. V. C.
[Correspondence of the Examiner and Herald.]
ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 1st, 1861.
MESSRS. EDITORS—After leaving Camp Curtin on the morning of 22d ult., we arrived in Baltimore the same evening, amidst a most drenching and continued rain. Being in open cars, and allowed to remain on them in Baltimore for at least four hours, you may judge, that being wet to the skin, with sharpened appetites, our career of soldiering was commencing to be very interesting. At length, however, shelter was procured for us in the Calvert Street Depot, to which we marched and “bunked” for the remainder of the night in our wet clothes and with empty stomachs. At sunrise in the morning we were called into line and marched about three miles to Camp Carrol, on Mount Clare, where we pitched our tents and remained, enjoying the regular routine of Camp life, until Saturday, the 27th ult., when we were ordered to this place. We commenced disembarking troops at the junction, Union Guard, First Brandywine Guard, Slifer Phalanx, Adams Infantry, and thus leaving four companies to guard the road, a distance of about 18 miles. The remaining six companies were brought here, and comfortably quartered in the splendid buildings formerly occupied as naval schools. We have every reason to rejoice in our good fortune thus far, as our quarters are of the most modern style, rooms large and airy. We are supplied with gas lights, pipes from heaters, (we have not tested their efficiency yet, as old Sol has bestowed more warmth upon us than we could reasonably expect the pipes to do.) The water is good and abundant, drill ground excellent, shrubbery and statues beautiful. Being immediately on the river and in view of the bay you cannot fail to imagine we are in an Eden.
We are under much more severe discipline since sworn into Uncle Samuel’s service, but the boys bear all with the fortitude of Gladiators. We have roll call at 5 a. m., battallion drill at 9 a. m., dress parade at 5 p.m., and roll call at 9 p.m., when the boys are ready to retire to their respective bunks, for they are generally tired. Between drills, after properly caring for their arms, accoutrements, clothing, &c., they busy themselves crabbing, fishing, bathing, &c., (a splendid bath house extending out in the river.)
There has no incidents of daring thus far occurred that would interest you. A few days ago some of the boys captured three runaway negroes who were in a boat endeavoring to effect a landing. I understand they were given over to the disposal of Gov. Hicks. They said they escaped from Virginia.
Three white men were also sent in by our pickets, as rebels. I did not learn what disposition is to be made of them. On Monday night whilst one of the members of the Adams Infantry was on guard on the railroad, a few miles from here, he was fired upon, the ball passing through his carttridge box, (rather close nicking.) This incident would infer that there are some rebels about. We will keep a vigilant look-out for them, and hope soon to exterminate the last one of them.
The Union Guards, Capt. Barton, I believe of your city, received the deserved compliment of the right of the regiment, being Company A. It is a fine company of men well officered.
The Lancaster Guard, also, from Lancaster county, Captain A. J. Neff, is known as Company E. They are a fine, hardy lot of men, The Captain, though small in statue possesses a lion heart, with all the qualifications constituting a gentleman.
Lieut. McPhail, a gentleman with whom I have had the pleasure of a slight acquaintance, I notice commands the most perfect respect of his brother officers, and his courtesy and care for the men, has caused them not only to respect, but admire him. All the other officers, I believe, stand in favor with the men.
I will endeavor to keep you posted as we progress. The health of the camp is good.
Yours, &c., C. A. M.

Our Three Years' Men.
Lieut. BAILEY, of Company B, 1st Regt., arrived here on Monday last, and will spend a few days amongst us. He is in excellent health, and the Company is getting along very comfortably. They are stationed at Annapolis Junction. He wishes to add 12 or 14 men to the company, and we presume he will obtain them here without any difficulty.

Seizure of Contraband Goods.
One of our editorial corps, who happened to be present on the occasion, gives the following account of the seizure of goods in Anne Arundel county:
On Friday morning last information reached the companies of the first Pennsylvania reserve regiment, Col. McPherson, who are stationed at the Annapolis Junction, that two wagons of a suspicious character were passing through the county, evidently loaded with contraband goods for the rebels, Accordingly, a detachment was sent down the railroad to Phelp’s crossing, about four miles, who took their places in the woods and awaited the approach of the wagons. About eleven o'clock they hove in sight, and were allowed to cross the track, when they were halted and the contents overhauled, and the accompanying men, Albert Brummell, of Baltimore, and a negro man, arrested. The third man of the party, named Gell, made. his escape by leaping from the rear of the wagon and taking to the woods. The contents were found to be principally quinine, chloroform, calomel, military trimmings, &c., marked to a firm in the neighborhood, who perhaps sells about fifty dollars of such merchandise in a year. Among the goods, which were in some twenty boxes, marked “glass,” was about three hundred dollars worth of calomel, and enough quinine to salivate the whole South.
The two men were taken immediately to the Junction, when Brummell made a confession, stating that the goods were bought from parties in Baltimore by merchants in Richmond, who sent a draft for $4,975 to cover the expenses. They were to pay him $150 for the safe delivery of the goods at Pope's Creek, on the Potomac, where the Richmond parties were to receive them. Tho confession of Brummell throws much light on the trading operations between Baltimore and Richmond, and implicates many parties in Baltimore who have heretofore made this kind of trade their chief business. At the time of his arrest, he had a large number of letters on his person, which were directed principally to officers and soldiers in the Confederate army.
Since the recent discovery of wagons going through with muskets, a regiment has been placed along the line, and with the increased vigilance consequent to this seizure, it will be almost impossible to pass more of such merchandise by this route.

From Camp Todd.
ANNAPOLIS JUNCTION, Aug. 16, 1861.
Mr Editor - You may cheerfully give place to a few lines from this point — still the scene of the labors of the “Adams Infantry.” The post is one of important responsibility, and involves a great deal of picket duty along the line of the two railroads which meet at this point. Our pickets extend ten miles towards Washington, eleven miles towards Annapolis, and several towards Baltimore.
One of our pickets to-day performed very good service. It was stationed at a point five miles from this place, on the Annapolis Railroad, at Phelp's X Toads where an important County road crosses the Railroad.. The pickets were under the command of Corporal John D. Sadler, and about 11 o'clock discovered the approach of two-suspicious-looking wagons, which were detained, until authority was obtained to examine the contents. They proved to be freighted, with boxes (labeled glass“), containing nearly $5,000 worth of quinine, chloroform, and various military stores, silks for Confederate flags, &c. &c. They were marked for a firm in this neighborhood, but were en route for Virginia, by point on the Potomac. Two parties were arrested, and now are in custody—one white and one black, both from Baltimore. A third, the pilot, named Gull, who was in the rear, saw the danger and escaped.— He may be arrested on his return to Baltimore. The white man arrested, named Albert Brummel, a native of Carroll county,. about 35 years of age, made a full confession of the facts. The articles were purchased by parties in Richmond through agents in Baltimore, and he was to receive $150 for safely delivering them at Pope's creek. On his. person a variety of papers were found—invoices of the goods and business letters relative to their purchase, and a bundle of 60 or 70 letters from Baltimore people to officers and soldiers of the Confederate Army. The horses and wagons taken are worth several hundred dollars, and the goods are of the full value paid for them, nearly $5,000. It is supposed, that they will all be shipped to Baltimore for such disposition as Gen. Dix determines to make. The exploit threw the camp into great excitement, and Company B feels much pleased that its members played so conspicuous a part in the seizure.
The members of the Company are in fine health—no one sick. All are busy, and in good condition. The Captain returned on Thursday from Washington, where he has been detained by sickness, since the adjournment of Congress. We expect Lieut. BAILEY with recruits on Monday next. Lieut. HERRON has tendered his resignation, which has been accepted.
Several Adams county friends have lately been to see us:—Mr. Brandon, and Benjamin Gardner, of Petersburg, Mr. Keim, of. Arendtsville, and Col. J. L. Tate, of Gettysburg. The boys enjoy seeing their home friends.

“Camp Todd Annapolis Junction August 25th 1861
Darling Wife,
Your letter of the 23rd inst. was received yesterday. You have no idea my sweet wife how happy it makes me to receive letters from you so often. If it was not for your darling, dear missives, my life, as a soldier, would become burdensome I think. I have the dearest and most attentive wife living. She seems to anticipate all my wants and wishes. When I am sad and low-spirited, which by the way, is very often, a letter from her reaches me and for the time being I am happy. To be candid with you beloved, I am satisfied that I did wrong in leaving you for the war. It grieves me very much that you should be so depressed in spirits and grieve so much for my absence. Do not do it darling. It makes us both unhappy. Be cheerful and look forward to a speedy reunion. You will soon have other cares to occupy your mind. Our infant, if God in his mercy should permit it to live, will be a great source of comfort to you in my absence. Your mind will be occupied and with the cares and wants of the infant and I in a measure be forgotten. Yes, darling, I will visit you when sick if I should be cashiered for it. I told major Todd, in a conversation some days ago, that if my wife should become sick and I could not get a furlough to visit her, I would go anyhow, let the consequences be what they would. He said he would do the same thing. It would not bring disgrace on me darling but would raise me in the estimation of my fellow officers and all who knew the circumstances.
There is a report current in camp that we are to be sent to Washington on Wednesday next to join General McCall. For my part I don’t think such is the case. General McCall wants us and General Dix and Colonel Roberts don’t want us to go. They have been fighting over our removal for some time. I must say I would much rather remain here than go to Washington and remain in camp for a long time, as we would have to do if there is the hot sun, without shade. If we are to remain in camp this is a pleasant place to be encamped. One has a good chance to see their friends as they pass in the cars. The mails are regular and we have plenty to eat and plenty to do. It is a much pleasanter place than Annapolis. You see I have changed my notions of this place lately.
Yesterday, Sergeant Cope of my company was shot accidentally by Bayard Shellady. He was wrestling with another man and had his pistol in his pocket and in turning over the pistol went off, the ball entering Cope’s hip, who was standing nearby. The wound is not dangerous but it may lame him for life. Cheyney took him to Annapolis to have the ball extracted. The day before two men of the Wisconsin Regiment stationed near us got into a quarrel when one of them was shot and it is supposed mortally wounded. The ball entered his stomach and came out at his hip. He is still living but Dr. Breneman who attends him says he will die. He is in the hospital right back of my tent and his groans at night are very distressing.
Tell Watts to do his best to get us out of this regiment. It appears that I am not the only one that is anxious to be transferred. Captain Barton and Captain Neff are working for the same thing. They are anxious to get into Colonel Hambright’s Regiment now forming in Lancaster County. You can say to Watts that other influences are at work beside his to affect our transfer. Tell him also that in case I should be so fortunate as to be attached to his regiment, I will show him a company that can’t be beat in drilling and that the majority of the men composing it are gentlemen.
I see an order from the Adjutant General of the United States to the effect that all the volunteers are to be paid off the 1st of the month and every two months thereafter. If such should prove true, I will send you more money. I hope what I have sent you will purchase what you want for the present. I paid all charges on the package I sent you. Hope you did not pay also.
Oh, if I could only be with you. I would be so happy. God bless you and unite us soon.
Your loving husband,
John
N. B. I don’t think I will take the small pox, having been so lately vaccinated. My love to Watts and Annie.
I can’t make out the question you ask. It is written in lead pencil and reads something like this: “Who is Mests?” Please enlighten me.”

Letter from Camp Todd.
ANNAPOLIS JUNCT., Aug 23, 1861.
Mr. Editor: - Wednesday last was an interesting day in Camp. Early in the morning a delegation of Ladies from Prince George and Montgomery counties, gathered in, bringing with them a large and very beautiful Flag, for presentation to the troops stationed at this post. They desired thus to testify their appreciation of the protection the troops had given them, and of the uniformly proper manner in which the soldiers had demeaned themselves. It so happened that Capt. MCPHERSON had just been left in command of the post, which he still holds, owing to the absence of the regimental officers upon other duty. Upon him devolved the reception of the Flag, on the part,of the battalion, as well as making the arrangements necessary thereto. JAS. CREIGH, Esq. represented the ladies on the occasion. The battalion was drawn up, in line, and there was a large attendance of citizens. The exercises were very interesting, and the speeches elicited great applause. The affair closed with an elegant collation, to which ample justice was done. The incident is gratifying, as showing the feelings of the Unionists of Maryland. — They welcome Union troops—not only give them aid and countenance. If the whole North were as sincerely loyal s the Union men of this neighborhood, patriotic hearts would not have occasion to grieve over the degeneracy and apostasy of the treacherous and disloyal.
J. DURBIN SADLER, of York Springs, was to-day elected Second Lieutenant of Company B. He is a worthy son of a worthy father.
JACOB A GARDNER, Esq. paid the Company a visit to-day, and was very, warmly welcomed. He has done, many acts of kindness, showing how deep is his feeling of interest, and he is very popular.

Boston Evening Transcript, September 4, 1861
ANNAPOLIS, MD., Sept. 1, 1861.
FROM THE 21ST MASS. REGIMENT. My last letter was written at Patterson Park, Baltimore, where we were then encamped. On Wednesday evening, orders reached our Colonel to move the following morning for Annapolis, to guard the railroad from the junction to the port. At eleven o’clock we took up the line of march to the tune of Yankee Doodle, through the streets of Baltimore, to the Washington Depot, receiving from many warm tokens of applause, and from all, respect. But one accident occurred to mar our passage. A member of Co. F, Worcester Zouaves, fell from the car as we were leaving the depot, breaking his arm, rendering amputation necessary on our reaching this place.
On our way we stopped for an hour at the Relay House, when those of our regiment who had been posted at this point in the early part of the war, met with a most cordial reception. This point is now guarded by a Wisconsin regiment. Nine miles below this place, at the junction of the Annapolis and Washington Railroad, where our guardianship commenced, we left four of our companies, and with the balance continued on to this locality, a distance of about twenty miles.
The entire line of the road is now guarded by the Massachusetts 21st. The 1st Pennsylvania regiment, Colonel Roberts, who has been in command for the last six weeks, left for Washington as we arrived. We are quartered in the buildings belonging to the United States Naval School which was established here in 1815, under the secretaryship of George Bancroft. The grounds enclose about twenty acres, well provided with elegant buildings~bath houses, gardens, and so arranged to make it one of the most delightful spots I have ever seen. This institution has been a great source of encouragement to the city of Annapolis, as it contained in 1815 about 2500 inhabitants, but now has increased to 6000. They feel the loss of the school much. This is the spot taken possession of by General Butler, when our transit through Baltimore was for a time obstructed. He took boats at Havre de Grace, and landing at this place, opened communication with Washington via the railroad, which we are now guarding. This is one of the oldest built towns in Maryland, most of the buildings being fashioned after the then English style, and give evidence of great durability.
Here stands the State House, built more than one hundred years ago. In it is the Senate Chamber, where Washington surrendered up his commission as commander-in-chief of the forces of the republic. The house of Gov. Hicks, the staunch Union governor of Maryland, faces our quarters, and it is refreshing to glance at it occasionally to strengthen (if it were needed) our Union principles. This place is also used by the government as a hospital for wounded soldiers, and there are now here a large number of those who were wounded in the battle of Bull Run. About the grounds we find many monuments erected by the naval officers to the memory of those who have fallen in battle or died on foreign posts. The monument to the lamented Herndon stands conspicuous.
How long we shall be posted here I know not. It may be for weeks, or tomorrow’s mail may bring us the order to march. The more I become acquainted with this regiment the more my respect for it increases. It is composed almost entirely of Worcester County men—men who I believe fully realize the importance of the issue in which we are now engaged; and who I believe will win a name if occasion presents itself,—such men as I believe would respond to the call of our Senator, which I have just read, and I am proud to think such as he will find in numbers on the soil of the brave old State—our home. Boston.
