The Daily Dispatch: March 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
e rounds of the papers, that fort Sumter will be reinforced. The floating ark is nearly ready, and is the observed of all observers, and whilst, almost every body thinks there will be no need for it, I confess I am not so sure of that. Still the war stock has greatly depreciated since Abraham spoke through Baltimore for fear of being plug-uglied. We have private, but perfectly reliable reports, of great financial troubles in New York and Boston. The dry goods jobbers, shΠdealers, rafters, and even silver-ware manufacturers, are all going by the board.--Not so here. There have been no failures of moment, and everybody regards the wants of his neighbor, and we help each other to the almost. The city is very quiet, very healthy and very busy. All the young men have gone to the war except myself, and the old ones drill nightly in Military Hall, to take a hand, if needs be. In my next I may have something more interesting to your readers. Good night. Virginius

R. A., and he says we are all very, very busy. Take care, don't let the young Republic get too far ahead of you. If I were to say that there had been several millions of goods bought for this market in the last fifteen days, I should not be far out of the way. All goods bought before the 28th February, and shipped by 15th March, are free of duty, hence everybody "pitched in." Weather summer-like — flowers in great abundance — all kinds of early vegetables--perfectly tired of shad--everybody happy--"nobody hurt"--everybody getting their "pockets full of rocks"--the soldiers all lively--Governor Pickens keeping a sharp eye to Sumter — plenty of Richmond bombshells, and we are ready generally — and if I had time tonight I would write you a very interesting letter, but I am tired and sleepy, and will defer it until another time, when I may give your readers a little life-like sketch of things here, and tell them something of this "renowned city" in days of yore.
