Colored Recruits from Frederick and Carroll Counties
Summary
Colored men from Frederick and Carroll Counties are being successfully recruited by Col. Creager. About 50 have been recruited from Liberty district alone. Some people accuse Creager of indirectly enticing slaves away, but the newspaper cannot say if this is true. It is supposed that if slaves are enticed from masters loyal to the Union, the masters can probably get them back, but that would not be the case if the master was disloyal.
