The News from Charleston.<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
CHARLESTON, April 9, 1861.<\/span><\/div>\n
Everything is quiet tonight as regards excitement. People are becoming accustomed to suspense, and nothing but sounds of actual battle will disturb the calm determination with which they await events.<\/span><\/div>\n
The floating battery has been towed into position between Sullivan\u2019s Island and Fort Sumter.<\/span><\/div>\n
Senator Wigfall, of Texas, and Edmund Ruffin, of Virginia (nearly seventy years of age), shouldered muskets and joined the army as privates. Numbers of old men have done the same. Even cripples are anxious to fight, and may be seen riding with the cavalry.<\/span><\/div>\n
The fleet is not yet in sight, but is expected off Stono tonight.<\/span><\/div>\n
Troops continue to arrive in the city from the interior.<\/span><\/div>\n
The Charleston Courier of Tuesday morning report the arrival of Lieutenant Talbot there on Monday. He had a conference with Governor Pickens and General Beauregard, but was not allowed to communicate with Major Anderson at Fort Sumter. Lieut. Talbot started back for Washington Tuesday night. It is understood that the nature of his conference with Governor Pickens and General Beauregard was to obtain permission for an unarmed storeship to victual the garrison at Fort Sumter. Permission was refused. It is generally believed that the unarmed storeship will be accompanied with a naval force. Every preparation is made to prevent any relief being sent into Fort Sumter.<\/span><\/div>\n

CHARLESTON, April 10, 1861.<\/span><\/div>\n
Everything is quiet tonight. The effect is momentarily looked for.
\nI have reason to state that, if battle results, Washington will be invested in less than sixty days.<\/span><\/div>\n
Tremendous preparations are making throughout the South
\nThere is also an assurance that the French and English governments will recognize the Southern confederacy as soon as it manifests the solidity and strength of a thoroughly organized government.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
