The Daily Dispatch: December 15, 1860., [Electronic resource], Outrageous Robbery. (search)
from South Carolina. A dashing, tall, handsome Maryland man has created some excitement by striding about the Departments with a blue cockade on his lapel. Red ones, the meaning of which is not known, have been seen here. Many of the workmen turned off from the Capitol building may be seen daily in the galleries of the two Houses. They appear to look upon the proceedings as a sort of theatrical performance. The Rev. Dr. Read, of your city, has been sojourning here for some days. At the hotels and on the streets one is struck with the paucity of strangers. As for gayety, it is not thought of. I doubt whether there will be a hotel hop this whole winter. Blind Tom is giving performances here. A new play, of a local character, and attributed to Jno. Savage, Esq., editor of the "States," is being played at the theatre. I hear informally that the Crisis Committee is making rather a poor out of it. To do any good, its conclusions must be reached before Saturday. Zed.
