rdent prayer. I am, Colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Robert Anderson, Major 1st Artillery commanding. These three most significant telegrams are from our commissioners: 1. Washington, April 5th, 1861. Hon. Robert Toombs, etc., Montgomery, Ala.: The movement of troops and preparation on board of vessels of war, of which you have already been apprised, are continued with the greatest activity. An important move, requiring a formidable military and navalthe administration, we say, be ever on your guard. Glad to hear that you are ready. The notice promised us will come at the last moment, if the fleet be intended for our waters. Crawford, Roman, Forsyth. 2. April 6th, 1861. Hon. Robert Toombs, Secretary, etc., Montgomery, Ala.: No change in the activity of the warlike armaments mentioned yesterday. The rumor that they are destined against Pickens, and perhaps Sumter, is getting every day stronger. We know nothing positive

gh the house of John Frazer & Co., without the necessity of sending a special messenger to Europe on such a trifling errand. A few months later, at Manassas, General Toombs confirmed the statement of Major Huse. He was present as a member of the cabinet, when the proposal about the purchase of the rifles was made. The original number proposed, said General Toombs, was only eight thousand. It was at his suggestion that the order for ten thousand was given. Mr. Davis, in his book, Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government, vol. i. p. 311. makes mention of Major Huse, who, he says, was the officer sent to Europe, to buy in the market as far as posss had left for the North. As to the first point, the reader has nothing further to learn; Major Huse's own testimony, corroborated by the distinct statement of Mr. Toombs, leaves no doubt as to how many small arms (rifles) were to be purchased, at that time, for the service of the Confederacy. With regard to the second point, we

placed under him; and, third, that he should return to the command of his own army in Virginia, as soon as his services could be dispensed with in the West, and, if possible, in time for the spring campaign. Colonel Pryor stated that he was not authorized to agree to the last two conditions, but would telegraph the answer of the War Department from Richmond. Accordingly, on the 23d, he telegraphed the following assent: Richmond January 23d, 1862. General Beauregard: Have not seen Toombs. Committee extremely anxious you should go. Judge Harris is sure President consents to all your wishes. I send letter in the morning. Roger A. Pryor. A letter to the same effect came the next day; and, on the 25th, the War Department was officially notified of General Beauregard's final acquiescence in the wishes of Congress and of the Executive. So important to success did he consider it to have experienced officers with him, that he immediately forwarded to the Adjutant-General'

chmond, Jan. 20th, 1862. Genl. G. T. Beauregard: In my opinion you ought not to go to the Mississippi. I will explain to you when we meet. Your friend, R. Toombs, Brig.-Genl. Centreviile, Jan. 21st, 1862., about 12 h. M. Answer. Very well; please explain as soon as possible. I am anxious to do for the best. G. T. Beauregard. Genl. R. Toombs. Richmond, Jan. 20th, 1862. Capt. E. P. Alexander: Urge General Beauregard to decline all proposals and solicitations. William F. Alexander. Private and confidential. Richmond, Va., Jan. 23d, 1862. Dear General,— * * * * * * My reasons for venturing to tand firmly by it.
