SO far as | know these orders were

The regiment embarked about two
o'clock and arrived at Alexandria
between four and FIVE o'clock in the
morning.
The troops moved against Alexan-
dris in three columns: By the aque-
duct under command of General
Sanford: by the long bridge, I'M
der command of Colonel Wilcox, and
by steamer, under command of Col
onel Ellsworth.
Ellsworth WAS to approach bv the
river front aud Wilcox by the Wash
ington pike. They were to cut of
telegraphic and railroad connection
with the interior.
Ellsworth landed his regiment
with great rapiditv. The regiment
was forming on the wharf when
Ellsworth came to the right of the
line, starting up town. There we're
with him Mr. Minister, of the New
York Times; Mr.. House, of the New
York Tribune, aud Chaplain Dodge.
As they passed the right of the line
some one of them suggested that q
guard be taken Ellsworth turned
and said:
"First squad follow me-"
The squad, consisting of Sergeant
Marshall, two corporals, of whom |
WAS one. and two privates, fell in be-
hind, and in that order we went up
Cameron street on the double quick.
We went three blocks up Cameron
street, | thought, and still think
Ellsworth was on his way to the tel
egraph Office to send word that he
had landed. Here he turned south
on Royal street. One square brought
us to King street, and as we turned
the corner TO go west we came in
sight of the Marshall House, Just q
square ahead, with the Confederate
flag flying.
Ellsworth turned abruptly to the
sergeant and said: Marshall, go
back and tell Captain Cole to bring
his company up here as soon as pos
sible."
This was the only thing Ellsworth
said to show he had noticed the flag.
He kept up King street and did
net turn across when he came oppo-
site the Marshall House, | supposed
he wss going to let Captain Cole
take care of the flag. Ellsworth
jumped over the gutter to cross the
street above the hotel, when he sud
denly halted. He said nothing, but
looked back at the flag. Perhaps it
occurred to him that the sight of the
flag might enrage the men and lead
to the very thing he had promised to
prevent.
After a moments thought he went
across the street and entered the Of
flee of the hotel. We followed, moth
ing being said. There was 8 man at
the counter Ellsworth asked if he
was the proprietor.
He said "no."
Ellsworth went up stairs without
another word.
We followed him up two flights
and then up third flight to the at
tic. The stairs turned and had
landing midway at each flight. In
the attic we found the hslyard to the
flag staff and Ellsworth pulled down
the flag. The only thing said at the
time was by Ellsworth. Someone
started to cut off piece and Ellis.

Pan-American Congress was held in

object was to formulate IAN agreement

adoption TO their respective govern
