Johnston was sent with about 2000 men te which utterly changed the status quo. Both the S. C. authorities and President Buchanan were earnestly anxious to maintain this status, and the War Department, ino one ever alleged the existence of any design to violate the status. President Buchanan felt himself pledged, and decided to order Anderson back to Fort Moultrien Philadelphia, and of Rynders in New York. They worked upon the weak side of Buchanan's character, and Anderson was allowed to remain in Fort Sumter.
