+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.
