eral McClel!an's order that there were
to be no more grny uniforms In the

thing TO correct the trouble. but there
was still danger of confusion.
On the southern side the variety Of
dress was even greater than with the
north, While the Confederate con,
gress had prescribed gray. the troops
procured whatever garb they could.
Early In the war many of the southern
officers who had prev ously belonged
to the regular army wore their old
uniforms. At Bull Run several Con
federate regiments were In civilian
dress. Gradually, however. the matter
Of uniform was corrected. until the
Union blue and Confederate gray or

Arrest Of Maryland Legislator.
Thus ended the fear Of u direct at
tack on Washington. n fear for which
there had never been any considerable
ground. The danger Of an invasion OF
Maryland was more real. however. as
subsequent statements have shown.
General Beauregard many years after
the war said that his plan was to cross
the Potomac above Washington and
had he been supported by Davis and
Johnston the movement doubtless
would have been made.
In September Washington learned
that the Maryland legislature was to
be convened on the nth at Frederick
and pass an ordinance Of secession, the
southern army crossing the river from
Virginia to support this move. II nec-

ment controlled nearly twO-thirds Of
both houses. II was because Of this
report that many Of the secession
members were arrested. On Sept. IS
the Union members refused to meet
and departed for their homes. thus
practically ending the session.
General Mcclellan was active In all
these moves and regarded the danger
as imminent. Two Of McClellans let
ters at this time are Of interest On
Sept. ~ he wrote:
