shall any State keep troops or ships of war in time of peace, enter into an agree ment or compact with another State or with a foreign power, or engage in war unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will admit of no delay." Soon after the adoption of this Constitution, I was informed by the Secretary of War that the Prealdent assumed the control of all military operations in this State which were to be conducted against any foreign powers. The President then appointed Gen. Lawton, and extended his command from Savannah to the Florida line, and assigned to Commodore Tatnall the command of the small naval force upon our coast. Our own Convention, while in session at this place, passed an ordinance turning over the forts and arsenals of this State to the Confederacy. Fort Pulaski was not at that time sufficiently equipped, and I have since expended about eighty thousand dollars from the State Treasury for heavy guns and other necessary equipments for the fort.
