The Baltimore Sun, May 21, 1861
Military Matters and Movements In and About the City—The movements of troops in Baltimore and Vicinity yesterday, were not of an exciting character, and the disagreeable state of the weather prevented many persons from visiting Gen. Cadwallader's encampment at Locust Point. Yesterday, at the Relay House camp, occurred the swearing into the service of the United States of the Eighth Massachusetts Regiment, the oath being administered by Lieut. Putnam. Ten of the regent but not the original members, refused, we learn, to take the oath. One of the number was said to have been intimidated at the time of its administration, but the remainder objected because thirteen days had been added to their term of service by the colonel first in command.
The Washington train, which arrived at the Camden station at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, brought a number of the 69th New York Regiment, and several of the 8th Massachusetts Regiment, who were returning home on furlough, and under other conditions. Those of the latter regiment, who refused to take the oath, were included among the number. The train conveying them connected with the Philadelphia train, and all left for their homes.
At 4 o'clock P. M.,a special train, in charge of Conductor Shutt, left the Camden station for the Relay House, conveying about 400 of the recruits, enlisted in this city and vicinity, and quartered at the National Hotel. They will be drilled and uniformed at the Relay station, and mustered into the First Maryland Regiment. The number includes a company from Harford county, Md., who arrived yesterday morning.
