The First Year of the War: by Edward A. Pollard, page 67. Pollard was in public employment at Washington during Buchanan's Administration, and was in the secret councils of the conspirators. General Scott afterward asserted Letter on the early history of the rebellion, December 2, 1862. that Rhode Island, Delaware, and Texas had not drawn, at the close of 1860, their annual quotas of arms, and Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Kentucky only in part; while Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Kansas were, by order of the Secretary of War, supplied with their quotas for 1861 in advance, and Pennsylvania and Maryland in part. This advance of arms to the eight Southern States was in addition to the transfer, at about the same time, of one hundred and fifteen thousand muskets to Southern arsenals by the same Secretary of War. Not content with thus supplying the Slave-labor States with small arms, that traitorous minister attempted to give th

Mallory, of Florida.), who, at that time, resolved, in effect, to assume to themselves the political power of the South, and to control all political and military operations for the 61. These resolutions, and others which the correspondent did not feel at liberty to divulge, were telegraphed to the conventions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida. He said there was much discussion concerning the propriety of the members of Congress from seceding States retaining their seats, in order to embarrass legislate openly upon his treasonable work, in which he had been engaged for many years. On the same day when Davis left the Senate, the representatives of Alabama and Florida in that House formally withdrew. Yulee and Mallory, the Florida Senators, spoke in temperate language; but Clement C. Clay, Jr., of Alabama, one of the most mali

prevent fraudulent legislation by prohibiting the introduction of more than one subject in any act; it fixed the term of service of the President and Vice-President at six years, and made the former ineligible to re-election; it provided for the government of new Territories, and prohibited the enactment of any law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves. There were several provisions for securing an economical expenditure of money. The delegates from South Carolina and Florida voted against the clause prohibiting the African Slavetrade. Davis had already been authorized by the Convention March 28, 1861. to assume control of all military operations between the Confederate States, or any of them, and powers foreign to them; and he was also authorized to receive from them the arms and munitions of war acquired from the United States. At the middle of March, it recommended the several States to cede to the Confederate States the forts, arsenals, dock-yards, and

twenty-four hours from the time when the Stripes and Stars were lowered in Charleston harbor, the President of the United States had filled every loyal heart in the land with joy and patriotic fervor, by a call for troops to put down the rising rebellion. That call answered the question. In a proclamation issued on the 15th, April, 1861. the President declared that the laws of the Republic had been for some time, and were then, opposed in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by law; and he therefore, by virtue of the power in him vested by the Constitution and the laws, called forth the militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate number of seventy-five thousand, in order to suppress those combinations and to cause the laws to be duly executed. The President appealed to all loy
