Baltimore troops mustered into the service of Virginia.
--Yesterday it was our pleasure to witness the mustering in of the First Company of the 179th Regiment, Virginia Volunteers.
The company we refer to is that of
Capt. E. R. Dorsey, late of the
Baltimore City Guard, and is composed wholly of Baltimoreans; and in a few days we are satisfied we can announce the regiment full, to be composed entirely of citizens of
Maryland.
Capt. Dorsey can be justly proud of his command for in its ranks can be found the best blood of
Maryland.
There we find the Howards, the Goldsboroughs, the Thorntons, the Stewarts and many others whose names are familiar to every one conversant with the history of the gallant old State.
No mercenary motives prompt these young men to come into our midst and volunteer their services to the
State of Virginia, for there is not a man amongst them but has sacrificed much, and in many instances their all, in flying to the defence of liberty and right.
In its ranks are gentlemen of wealth and character, who have left the luxuries and comforts of home to endure the hardships and privations of the tented field.
The following is a list of its officers and privates:
Captain,
