The men waited about for some timm deserted. The morning was dark and raw. Some of the watchers surmised that Beauregard was bluffing, and that there would be no bombardment.

The reply was in the affirmative. He do so, until the matter was explained to General Beauregard, and requested Major Anderson to reduce .

These words being communicated to General Beauregard, we were again sent to the fort, arrivin Sumter to ex-Senator Wigfall are these: General Beauregard, seeing the fort on fire, sent me with a embrasure, and, assuming authority from General Beauregard, called upon Major Anderson to surrenderard the Isabel, the steamer furnished by General Beauregard to transport Anderson's men to the fleet before it was seen. Later in the war, when Beauregard defended the fort, one of the bravest office his command pronounced the work untenable. Beauregard then informed me that if necessary he would [1 more...]

The result proved how hollow the party assertions had been, or, perhaps, I should say, how superficial was the hold of such doctrines upon the mass of men in a great political organization. At the first shot from Beauregard's guns in Charleston Harbor these men crowded to the recruiting stations to enlist for the defense of the national flag and the national union. It was a popular torrent which no leaders could resist; but many of these should be credited with tconfidence in himself. He was dressed in a plain traveling dress and wore a narrow-rimmed soft felt hat. In short, he seemed what he was, a railway superintendent in his business clothes.

We looked at one another, and, tacitly agreeing the gallant general had sent not an order but a suggestion, declsed with dark blue edged with white, the cross bearing stars to indicate the number of the seceded States. We set our best stitches upon them, edged them with golden fringes, and, when they were finished, dispatched one to Johnston, another to Beauregard, and the third to Earl Van Dorn, then commanding infantry at Manassas. The banners were received with all possible enthusiasm; were toasted, feted, and cheered abundantly. After two years, when Van Dorn had been killed in Tennessee, mine cam

He was assigned to the command of the Trans-Mississippi District, January 10th, 1862.

This Van Dorn began to do on the 17th of March, on which day he wrote to General Johnston that he would soon relieve Beauregard by giving battle to the enemy near New Madrid, or, by marching boldly and rapidly toward St. Louis, between Irontof April for Memphis, just as Pope was taking possession of Island No.10, and Beauregard was leading Johnston's army back to Corinth from the fateful field of Shiloh.
