The Daily Dispatch: April 16, 1861., [Electronic resource], A Richmond vessel hoists the Confederate flag. (search)
A Richmond vessel hoists the Confederate flag. --In East Baltimore, on Sunday, great excitement was occasioned in consequence of the hoisting on the mizzen-top mast of the bark Fannie Crenshaw, lying at Chase's wharf, lower end of Thames and Caroline streets, of the Confederate States flag at an early hour of the morning. The American says: "The fact of the flag being raised was not particularly observed for several hours after, and, on its being perceived, the Star Spangled Banner of the Union was immediately thrown to the breeze by the Captains of the barks Agnes, Mondamin, Washington, Chase, and Seaman, lying in the vicinity, from the gaff of their respective vessels. "A large number of persons assembled on the wharf, who openly disapproved of the raising of the flag, which, it was stated, was done by Capt. Munson, by the imperative orders of the owners, Messrs. Currie, of Richmond, Va., who sent from that city the same flag which they had previously displayed fro
Abolition papers, and is regarded in his house as a family bible. John Brown himself did not hate the South with a more deadly hatred, nor keep more secret his infernal plan. The animus of the whole Cabinet may be gathered from a reply made by Chase to a question of a Kentucky gentleman. "Sir," said Chase, "we care nothing for the negro, but we hate his master." The purpose of these men is wholesale murder and massacre; we are to be invaded with fire and sword; the horrors of servile war, ifChase, "we care nothing for the negro, but we hate his master." The purpose of these men is wholesale murder and massacre; we are to be invaded with fire and sword; the horrors of servile war, if possible, are to be added to those of civil war; our fields are to be laid waste, our houses destroyed, and if we resist, we are to be shot down or hung as rebels and traitors. Such is the programme which Lincoln has been secretly meditating, whilst inducing the friends of Union in the South to believe that he was for peace, and therefore to wait, and leave their forts in his hands, and make no preparations to defend their homes, their wives and children and their household gods, and to denou
s ago it was stated that he intended to make Old Point and the Virginia fort he is occupying on the Potomac a base of operations against the interior of the State. There are now eight hundred men at Old Point, and, some bright morning, if we do not keep our eyes open, we shall find five thousand Republicans in possession of our own city. The Administration is malignant enough to attempt anything, and our only trust henceforth should be in our own vigilance and energy. We hope, therefore, that, in this matter, without waiting any longer on Virginia authorities, each county will act for itself, call out its militia, organize its means of defence, and do it without one moment's delay. Monstrous as are the purposes which the Administration has already declared, they fall into insignificance compared with the horrid designs in its secret heart, and which were darkly hinted at in the conversation of Secretary Chase with a Kentucky gentleman, which we have already given to our readers.
