The Daily Dispatch: March 22, 1861., [Electronic resource], A. J. Donnellson on the existing crisis. (search)
From Charleston.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, March 18, 1861. Major Anderson's pluck will be tested today or to-morrow. No, not the Major's pluck — I beg his pardon, for he is game, I have no doubt — but the Black Republican pluck, will be tested fully to-day or to-morrow, for the notorious floating battery will be moored within two hundred yards of Fort Sumter, and put in the place designated for her. If Fort Sumter then speaks, the war is fairly opened; if nonation, and especially upon so unique a craft? How can he tell but that it is a Chinaman? The craft will be moored out in broad-day light, and at the firing of the first gun the lightning shall tell you of it. General Beauregard has stopped Major Anderson from receiving oil and tallow candles, but as many sperm candles as he pleased. Do you know the reason? Because oil and tallow will make his cannon work easy, and sperm will not, and oil and tallow will do the labor of four men. Smart, ain'

arrival of the 2d Infantry. During all this time, that gallant Lieutenant held his position, and had he lost it, the battle of Cerro Gorde never would have been won. That intrepid young man was Gardner, of Washington city. The storming column against the main work on Cerro Gordo Hill was led by that tried veteran Harney, of Georgia." Major Hill adds that the South has not merely evinced military spirit on the field. but in authorship. The books in use on infantry tactics were prepared by Scott, of Virginia, and Hardee, of Georgia. The Manual of Artillery Tactics in use is by Major Anderson, of Kentucky. The only works in this country on the Science of Artillery, written in the English language, are by Kingsbury and Gibbon, of North Carolina, and the only books on Military Engineering, by Mahan, of Virginia. The published experiments of Mordecai, of South Carolina, convey all our information of the strength of gunpowder and of cannon, and the proper tests for their trial.

From Charleston. --A Charleston dispatch in the New York Herald, dated the 19th, says: Paymaster Hutton, of the United States Army, visited Fort Sumter this evening under a flag of truce, and paid off fifty United States soldiers. Major Anderson sent to Quartermaster Hatch, of the Confederate army, desiring to know by what conveyance his troops can be transported North. They will go by the Columbia on Saturday. The abandonment of the fort is hourly expected. The Southern Confederate States will be recognized by the French Emperor and the Spanish Governments. The British Government is not expected to do so immediately.--Russia, Sweden, Denmark and the Italian Confederacy, are all favorably inclined. No reconstruction, consequent even upon the extinction of the Republican party, will restore the South to the old Union. Commodore Ingraham and Captain Hartstein have left Charleston on secret service. The Montgomery tariff is acceptable to South Carol
