The Daily Dispatch: January 12, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
t as I have no opportunity of finding it out, I do not mention them. It is impossible to imagine a gayer and more animated scene than the fort is during the day; the men rapidly passing to and fro doing the various duties assigned them; the labor is severe, and one would suppose that by night nature would claim her rest, but up to tatoo, which is beaten at 2 o'clock at night every quarter resounds with gay sounds and shouts that come from many hearts. The "Marsellaise." "Dixie's and." "Mickey, are you drunk," "Rap Slap," and other songs with like euphonious names, ring out upon the night. But after tatoo all is still and silent as death. A schooner arrived last night, having on board a very large quantity of powder, and it is being put in the magazine to-day. On Thursday there will be a relief sent down, and such soldiers as are compelled to go home will return. There are twenty from the Chatham artillery who will return, and their places will be filled from town.
