The Daily Dispatch: April 30, 1861., [Electronic resource], From Washington. (search)
Ludwig, keeper of the magazine at the Navy-Yard, also left the city a few days since to join the Southern army, and is also supposed to know something concerning the matter. The Frontier Guard, Lane's company, waited on Mr. Lincoln, Friday afternoon, and, in response to an address tendering their services to the Government, made by Col. Vaughan, Mr. Lincoln replied: "I have desired as sincerely as any man, and I sometimes think more than any other man, that our present difficulties might be settled without the shedding of blood. I will not say that all hope has yet gone, but if the alternative is presented, whether the Union is to be broken in fragments, and the liberties of the people lost, or blood be shed, you will probably make the choice, with which I shall not be dissatisfied." Three workmen at the Navy-Yard and Arsenal, named Richardson, Banks and Grinder, were arrested on Saturday, charged with being connected with the Secessionists, and confined in the Capitol.
