ruary, 1861—that they desired no convention even to consider the propriety of secession. But after the newly-elected President's Springfield speech, after the widespread belief that the Federal government had attempted to reinforce Sumter in the face of a promise to evacuate it, and especially after President Lincoln's requisition on the governor to furnish troops for what Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky, called the wicked purpose of subduing sister Southern States,—a requisition that Governor Jackson, of Missouri, in a superflux of unlethargic adjectives, denounced as illegal, unconstitutional, revolutionary, inhuman, diabolical,—there was a rapid change in the feelings of the people. Strong union sentiment was changed to a fixed determination to resist coercion by arms if necessary.

Porter had in his command Morell's division and Warren's brigade. Branch's force consisted of his own brigade—the Seventh North Carolina, Col. R. P. Campbell, the Eighteenth, Col. R. H. Cowan; the Twenty-eight
