Four regiments muster for U S service and fortifications rise

A St. Louis dispatch notes four full volunteer regiments mustered into the United States service with a fifth forming. The third and fourth regiments with part of the second encamped at Arsenal grounds while the first and remaining units are stationed near Jefferson Barracks and the Marine Hospital. A turf breastwork for four guns tops the Arsenal vicinity as troops occupy adjacent buildings. A Navy- or Army-related tone colors the report with reflections on enlistment terms and public sentiment during the conflict.
