wo armies to fight their way toward each other until they met, and a cordon of military posts was established in the very heart of the Cotton States.

He denied the right of executing the laws by military force, and asked if judicial proceedings were to be superceded by drumhead law? Fort Sumter had been garrisoned contrary to the plighted faith of the Government, and while Major Anderson had only used his discretionary power, the movement was an act of hostility.--He denied the right of the government to gar
