At the ceremonies of guard mount and dress parade the country was thronged with visitors from Washington, ladies in gay gowns and scarfs, Congressmen in silk hats and chokers, apparently forgetful of their undignified role in the late affair at Bull Run even children with black mammies in scarlet turbans and white wool dresses came to watch a great army limbering up after a winter of inaction.
