Excerpt from Glimpses of Places, and People, and Things: Extracts From Published Correspondence and Other Writings, 1861-1886
Paid a visit to Alexandria, a few days since; and in spite of all that I had heard about the desolation which has fallen upon that unfortunate city, I was astonished at the dismal aspect worn by everything in and around the town. Business places and private houses were nearly all closed. I did not see a team of any kind in the whole city, nor more than fifty persons in cit izen'a dress during a stay of an hour, although it is a town nearly as large as Utica. The commodious city market was occupied only by an old man who kept a small eating stand. The Marshall House, the scene of the death of the gallant Col. Ellsworth, was closed and guarded, but the ruin which has visited the interior is visible upon the outside in smashed doors and windows. The whole city seemed like a place accursed; and it was with a feel ing of relief that I escaped from its dirty, ragged pavements into the smooth country road that leads to our camp.
