Iu the March number of the Cen
tury Mr Noah Brooks contiuius his
reminisceusca of Lincoln during
war time. The writer was on terms
ot particular intimacy with Lincoln,
and he relates many new anecdotes
concerning ihe President, Most of
the latest paper is taken up with an
account of '-'Two War-Timo Con
ventions." Mr Brooks give3 the
following picture of one exciting in
cident of that time .
The raid of Early, which occurred
in July, 1834, gave us ihe only se
rious scare in the national capital
which ' we had, although many
alarms were sounded during the
war and after the first terrors of the
civil insurrection had died away.
That incursion of the dashing rebel
hosts was evidently two fold in its
purpose, forage and plunder in
Maryland and Pennsylvania being
parts of the scheme, while the mre
important and highly desired pur
K)se was to seize ujon Washington,
then left comparatively ' defenceless
so far as troopH were concerned.
Lhe news of the approach of Early
was brought to the city (whatever
may have been the information
lodged in the war department) hy
the panic stricken people from Kwk
ville Silver Spring, Fennallvtown
and other Maryland villages. These
people came nocking into Washing
ton by the 7th street nud, flying in
wild disorder, and bringing their
household goods with them.
In a general way we understood
that the city was cut otf at the
north and east, and that the famine
of market-stuff, New York newspa
pers and other necessaries of iife wj
due to the cutting of railway liner
leading "northward. For two os
three days we had no mail, no tele
graphic messages, and no railroad
travel. Our ouly communication
with the outer world was bv steam
er from Georgetown, I) C, to New
York. Washington waa in a fer-
mem ; men were marcning to and
fro ; ablebodied citizens were swept
up and put into the district militi-
and squads of department clerks'
were set to drilling in the parks. It
was an odd sight to see men who
had been thus impressed into the
public service, dressed in linen
coats or in partial nnilorm, being
put through the manual of arms by
on impromptu captain, who in his
turn was prompted by his orderly
sergeant (a messenger employed in
the war department.) These sons
of Mars were all under command of
Brig Uen Bacon, a worthy grocer, of
Washington, who was the militia
commander ot the District of Col
umbia.
The city was also garrisoned by
oue hundred men, Veteran Reserves,
as they were called or Invalid Corps,
with few dismounted cavalry.
These weak and unorganised forces
were thrown into the fortification.
