Chapter 6: Marylanders in 1862 under Generals Joseph E. Johnston and Stonewall Jackson.
In November, 1861, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, then in command of the Confederate army of the Potomac, withdrew from the posts of Mason's and Munson's Hills, established by Beauregard, having information that McClellan was about to sweep them in. Beauregard had established a capital secret service, and his spies in Washington, in the departments and in McClellan's headquarters, kept his headquarters perfectly advised of the intentions of General McClellan.
They had reported in time McDowell's projected movement on Bull Run, which resulted in the first battle of Manassas.
In November Johnston withdrew from the line of Fairfax Court House to Centreville, in front of Bull Run, and in a month fell back to Bull Run, where he put his troops in camp for the winter.
He made his men cover themselves in log huts, which were comfortable, but too warm and illventi-lated for troops in the field.

Biographical
Marylanders in the military and naval service of the Confederate States.
it is generally estimated in Maryland that twenty thousand men from that State served in the armies of the Confederacy.
There are no data by which an approximate estimate can be made of the number furnished, but the above conjecture is reasonable and probable.
It is certain that there was no neighborhood in Maryland from Mason and Dixon's line to the seashore, from which all the young men of the better class did not go to military service in Virginia, and an examination now will show Maryland Confederate soldiers still living all over the State.
Frederick county, which was a Union stronghold, shows a list of over one thousand Confederates.
The Marylanders were scattered throughout the armies of the Confederacy.
In Virginia, in Georgia, in Mississippi, in Arkansas, they were found serving in the ranks of their regiments, or as commissioned officers from captain to brigadier-general.
