Troops Parade Through Baltimore to Federal Hill

About 1000 soldiers from five companies of each regiment at Relay House arrive by train and march to Federal Hill. Crowds cheer as civilians illuminate homes and prominent citizens help arrange quarters, amid surprise and approval.

Harper's Ferry Report Details Troop Strength And Supplies

A special service employee recalling Harper's Ferry last week states there are about 6000 troops totaling the garrison and nearby forces with roughly three quarters armed. Only 200 Kentuckians remain and one company of South Carolinians. The resident militia is restive as provisions are scarce with two weeks of supplies left. Arsenal stock is under 1000 rifles, many in poor condition, and only 12 rifles can be manufactured daily. Forces on this side total 600 with no batteries on the Maryland side, and no forward movement is planned. The report notes impending retreat or provisioning, and hints at a Confederate advance toward Southern Pennsylvania if Union lines around Washington fail.
