despair of the Republic. Enlisting in Maryland. The Washington Star says that a "very lively" spirit is aroused in some portions of the State of Maryland, in favor of responding to the recent call of the Government for additional troops. It adds. In a number of the counties this feeling has manifested itself to a very great extent, while in some localities it has reached the point of actual enthusiasm. We have before us the proceeding of a war meeting recently held in Westminster, the seat of justice of Carroll county, which is said to have been one of the largest and most enthusiastic gatherings of the people ever known in that region. Augustus Shriver, Esq., the presiding officer, as well as the assistants and those generally in attendance, are of the very bone and sinew of the country. Resolutions were adopted heartily approving of the war policy of the President, and pledging those present to the support of the cause of the Union, at any and every sacrifice.
