ement of the laws, and have thus invited a hearty and zealous response on the part of several States. New York has never wavered in her devotion to the Union. She prizes it on account of the many blessings which all parts of the country alike have received from it; on account of the memory of her patriot sons, by whose blood it was purchased; and for the inestimable benefits it confers upon the present, and secures to future generations. Her noble response to the call of the President, in April last, was such as to preserve to her the proud title she has long borne in the family of States. Another stage in the great rebellion has been reached, and the Government, appreciating the dangers now menacing it, appeals for aid. The whole country, the civilized world, now looks to the State of New York. Let the response be worthy of her history. Let her answer go back in full ranks of earnest men, who, justly valuing the magnitude of the interests involved, temporarily relinquish their

description. We are informed that the families on the mainland as well as on this group of sea islands have fled to the interior, in some cases taking their negroes. These generally, however, remain, and some dozens have come into camp and have been set at work by the army. Truly South Carolina's day of reckoning has come. She has sown the wind; she is reaping the whirlwind. There is a singular fitness in striking the effective blow at this bold iniquity here in its birthplace. In April last our flag was, for the first time, dishonored on her soil, that the palmetto might flaunt above it. On Thursday last it was raised again upon her soil, with such pealing shouts of triumph and such thundering salvos of artillery as made the whole State tremble. God grant that it may forever float there! Hilton Head, upon which the south fort stands, is ten feet above high water. The parapet of the fort is some twenty feet higher. It is protected by a deep ditch with a stockade. It

Doc. 197 1/2. Message of Gov. Brown, of Ga. Executive Department, Milledgeville, Nov. 19, 1861. To the Senate: In response to the call made upon me by the Senate, I herewith transmit copies of such correspondence between me and the Secretary of War, relating to the defence of the coast of Georgia, as is, in my judgment, proper to be made public at the present time. By reference to this correspondence it will be seen that I have, from time to time, since the middle of April last, urgently solicited the Secretary of War to place upon the coast of this State such force as was necessary to the protection and security of our people. While his responses to my various calls have been kind and conciliatory, promising the protection which might be needed, his sense of duty has caused him to withhold as large a force as I have considered necessary, or the embarrassments by which he has been surrounded have rendered it impossible for him to do what his sense of propriety dictated.
