The Confederate States government was then offering every inducement for Maryland to join it. It exempted Maryland from its declaration of war against the United States, and it was tender of her territory and her feelings.
When, therefore, Johnston saw the absolute necessity of holding Maryland heights, he saved the invasion of Maryland by sending Marylanders to occupy the position.

Governor Hicks did not respond to the first call of the President of the United States for troops until he had delivered the State over to the Federal authorities, securely tied, handcuffed and gagged, and when habeas corpus was defied, freedom of speech made a crime, liberty sued a proclamation calling for four-regiments of volunteers to serve for three months, within the limits of Maryland, or for the defense of the capital of the United States, and not to serve beyond the limits aforesaid.
In consequence of the delay, the short term of service and the ridiculous terms proposed for enlistment, the go es were raised in different parts of the State, and before the first of June, 1861, the First regiment Maryland volunteers was mustered into the service of the United States, and John R. Kenly commissioned colonel, and Nathan T. Dushane lieutenant-colonel.
The Second regiment was mustered in about the middle of September under Co
