About this period a remarkable occurrence took place which is worthy of note. When New Orleans was about to be evacuated, in April, 1862, the civil and military authorities advised the banks and insurance companies to put their funds in security beyond the reach of the enemy. They nearly all did so, and, among them, the wealthiest of all, namely, the Bank of Louisiana, which sent its assets, mostly of gold and silver, to the extent of some three millions of dollars, via Mobile, to Columbus, Georgia, under the care of its president. These funds were given in charge by him to Mr. W. H. Young, President of the Bank of Columbus, Georgia, with the belief that they would there be perfectly safe. To General Beauregard's surprise, on the 11th of October the following telegram was forwarded to him from Richmond: Take possession of the coin of the Bank of Louisiana, in the hands of W. H. Young, President of the Bank of Columbus, Ga., and place it in the bands of John Boston, the
t here by commanding officer of First District, to be banded and rifled. 9. All guns, when sent or transferred to positions not already sufficiently supplied with ammunition, will be at once furnished with about one hundred rounds of the proper character and proportion. 12. On the same day plans and instructions for placing obstructions, by piling, etc., in the Chattahoochee (Florida) and Flint River (Georgia) were forwarded to Captain F. Moreno, Corps of Provisional Engineers, at Columbus, Ga. And General Finegan, at his own request, was also advised as to obstructing the Appalachicola River below the batteries, with a view to avoiding complication with the State authorities. 13. The effects of the resignation of Mr. Randolph, as Secretary of War, were soon felt in Charleston, as will be seen by the following telegrams: Richmond, Nov. 25th, 1862. Genl. Beauregard: The two 7-inch guns are turned over to navy for Mobile. T. S. Rhett, Col. and Insp. of Ord'ce. Ric
eer, etc.: Major,—The Commanding General wishes the battery at Church Flats to be converted at once into a small enclosed work, to hold two 12-pounder smoothbore guns (now at the Rantowles Battery), an 18-pounder gun, already ordered to it, and two 6-pounder (light) pieces, to be transferred to it and placed in position on the land front. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Thomas Jordan, Chief of Staff. Charleston, S. C., Dec. 11th, 1862. Capt. Theodore Moreno, Engineer Corps, Columbus, Ga.: Make battery at The Narrows for three guns, and put two 32-pounders, from Fort Gaines, in place of the 18-pounder intended for that battery. G. T. Beauregard. Charleston, S. C., Dec. 12th, 1862. Genl. S. Cooper: 10th inst. Banks's fleet, with about 10,000 men, left suddenly its southern course and made directly for Cape Lookout. This is reliable. G. T. Beauregard. Charleston, S. C., Dec. 13th, 1862. Brig.-Genl. J. Hagood, Adams's Run, S. C.: The seven companies of McCul
