The newspapers were covered with accounts of the threatening and formidable battery erections by the South Carolinians, and great interest was taken in the North in perusing those accounts ; but more of anxiety was felt here respecting the possible organizations of treason at home, than concerning the things which the open- mouthed rebels at Charleston would dare to do. The intelli- gent strangers who were sojourning in our midst, and who gleaned all their impressions of our sentiments by surfa...ce views, did not hesitate to predict to their fellow citizens or sub- jects of other lands, the agreement on the part of the North to almost any terms for conciliation. At the time the intelligence of the committing of this grand overt act reached the Federal Capital, I was in the city of Washington ; and the first really confirmatory report of the facts which I gathered, were from the lips of an excited man, who, in front of one of the principal hotels, on Pennsylvania avenue, was engaged in relating the incidents of the bombard- ment as far as they had transpired, and denouncing the Rebels in unmeasured terms.
