The Daily Dispatch: January 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], From Washington. (search)
From Washington. [special Correspondences of the Dispatch.] Washington, Jan. 2, 1861. A bright, sunny day. Here in the House, the galleries are crowded, and the display of crinoline is copious. Douglas has given the floor of the Senate to Baker, of Oregon--a flighty orator, born in England. As he has lately visited Lincoln, his views are looked to with much interest. No chance to get in, though. It was observed yesterday at the reception at the White House that the President was looking very badly. Poor old man! his is a hard fate. He has scarcely the confidence of a human being. The order to reinforce Anderson from the troops at Fort Monroe was either not issued, or if issued, revoked. I know that Messrs. Toombs, Wigfall, and other Southern gentlemen, fully believed it, and so telegraphed their friends.

No one here seems to believe in the possible perpetuity of the Union. Since Black Republicans treat so contemptuously Southern and conservative efforts for saving the Union, all are looking forward to the "last resort," which will probably be the quickest way to settle the question. Conscious of the ability of Virginia to take care of herself, our people have no fear of the result, and are fast becoming Secessionists. Public sentiment here about is fast becoming averse to Mr. Lincoln's being al

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.military supper — Disunion speeches — the holidays — Negro Hiring, &c. Harrisonburg, Va., Jan. 2, 1861. The Valley Guards, of this place, gave a supper to their Captain, S. B. Gibbons, last night, (the 1st.) Capt. G. has resigned his commission here, and intends going to Georgia. Several speeches were made on the occasion. T. Z. Yancey, Esq., Commonwealth's Attorney, advised moderation, and exhorted the people to wait. Mr. Y. is an "overt act" Douglas man. Capt. J. J. Winfield said, "That rather than see the Capitol at Washington occupied by the Republicans, he would see its foundations washed away by their blood" Strong language. Mr. W. is a young military gentleman, and it is believed he speaks the sentiments of the people of his section. E. A. Shands and S. Cootes, Esqs., followed with strong Southern sentiments, declaring that the time had now arrived for the South to act. Mr. Shands closed with the toast, "The South, right or<
