Major Robert Anderson was in extreme difficulties as commander of fortifications at Charleston harbor. Eyes of the nation had been focused on Charleston as the hot-bed of dissension among holding states and the peril continued to mount upon JJncbln's assuming. office. Assault upon harbor i fortifications had openly i been discussed for some (weeks, with Anderson' MR. RUNG awaiting anxiously for word from Washington in reply to his request for.reinforcements and supplies.

Anderson hot know what his government was doing for him, as a messenger from Washington nad been detained in. Charleston during those fateful days in the second week of April, 1861. The Confederates did know; however, for-on the evening of April 11, scouts had discovered the ships "Pawnee" and "Harriet Lane," with aid for Anderson, battling a heavy storm outside Charleston Bar. Their report startled the Charleston authorities. No time was to -be lost, for relfef of the gal lant commander was close at hand.

First Shot Is Fired A discharge of seven heavy guns at midnight was the signal for aN reserves to congregate. Word was sent to Anderson generally believed that war could be averted. The Peace Commission was in session at Washington, and Crittenden, in House, and Jxihn Bell and Andrew Johnson, in the Senate, speaking for the South, were making 'exhaustive efforts for pacification. At Harrisburg the Legislature had performed all its important State when.Sumter was fired upon. After appropriating half a million for the reorganization of the militia, and seeing that Pennsylvania offered more than enough troops to fill, the requisition made by the general government upon the States, the Legislature 'adjourned- sine die on the 18th of April.

This was less than a week after the surrender of Sumter; but almost immediately after adjournment new conditions suddenly arose by an eruption of Southern supporters in Baltimore, that not only made the city the prey of the mob, 'but destroyed the railway and telegraph lines Washington' and the North, and stopped, all railway and telegraph communications with Washington for nearly three days.

Dangers Are Recounted William F. McCay, a member of the company, has left this account of the dangers encountered at Baltimore while on their way to Washington: "As neared the city of Baltimore alarming reports began to reach us, mob having declared that rather than allow any Union troops to' pass through, their they would kill us to a man.

Capt. Selheimer, Hulings and Irwin and others cautioned us not to resent anything, as-we were comparatively defenseless, the only arms being about 40 muskets belonging to our company and the. sabres worn by the making his home of late with bis nephew, Newton Taylor, postmaster, and one of our oldest citizens, was 90 years old on Tuesday, April 18, 1911. Mr. Taylor was born at Oxford, Pa.

April .18, 1821. Mr. Taylor 'was married Feb. 20, 1855 to Miss Ann Ashman and started housekeeping at Fort' Littleton. In 1868 he moved to Shade Gap and in 1873 came to Mount Union.

His wife died in 1902. Mr. Taylor has been a very enterpnsing in-his day, and even yet, possesses all his mental evening of last thati bombardment of Fort. Sumter was were in the rear. Some of aboiM-tocommence.

About 2 ori the; our-men had secured some gun caps, and r- these were put upon muskets which in some cases were not loaded. As we alighted from the cars at the city limits we were met by a howling mob which hurled most -abusive epithets- upon us. The regulars took the advance (they left us, before we got half-way through the city), followed the Logans, beautiful flag, -being carried by Will Mitchell. (He rose to the rank of brevet 1.2th'j"'trie dull booming of a mortar at Fort; Johnson was and a fiery shell went flying, through the black night. Then the big guns on Morris Island opened upon Fort Sumter, and a furious attack began.

At his request, the venerable Virginian Ednjvund Ruffin fired the first shot at Surhter. The dramatic at Fort Sumter led a Ciyi'l War historian to write: "Only the very few yet living who were brigadier-general of volunteers, of in touch with public affairs in 1860-61, staff to General Hancock, and, just pre- i have any just conception of the.gen- to. his untimely end, was made assistant adjutant-general United States being the first appointment made by President Garfield, His honored dust now lies in St. Mark's Cemetery.) "A line of police, headed by -Marshal Kane, kept the crowds back somewhat, but slowly neared the other depot the mob was-increased by thousands, and when the police left us at the depot they were more brutal and abusive' than ever. Tearing up the cobble-stones, they hurled a continuous stream of missies through the'open doors of the box-cars on which we had been "placed.

They attempted to break the decks of the cars by jumping on them. times, jrideed, they uncoupled the engine and to tear up the rails in front of us. Some of the stoutest of our boys, when fcsy could stand no further abuse, jumped out of the car and offered to fight the whole crowd one by one. This seemed to please them, as they told us that we were neighbors, and did not amount to" much anyhow, they would let us go, but they said 'we'H give them Massachusetts Yankees hell; they shall never go through this and other such remarks. They made their threat good the next day, when the terrible street fighting between the mob and me Sixth Massachusetts occurred.

"As we had been told that' we woulc draw new uniforms at Harrisburg, our men did not present a very creditable appearance, having left home" with the most dilapidated clothes they could find. This is why the mob at Baltimore called us convicts and poor-house paupers, and said that Pennsylvania had emptied its jails and poor-houses to send down there to be food for Southern powder." Loss of trade in Baltimore was even greater than felt by Philadelphia, and bitterness for the Union reached a peak with movement of the 6th Massachusetts Regiment along Pratt Street on April 19, 1861. Four men of that company and twelve civilians were killed, while many on both sides were injured. When the regiment finally reached Washington, Miss Clara Barton, a government employe, was of 'the North on the subject of fratricidal war. All classes, and conditions shucldered at the idea of Such a conflict, and: the whole North was appalled at the prospect of a bloody sectional struggle.

After the election of Lincoln there was a general cessation of public discussion, as aW jiseemed to -await developments, not knowing what grave problems would be presented for solution. Fort Sumter presented a key for subsequent events." i Curtin Is Man Of Influence 'Fear and dismay spread throughout the North as word came from Fort and meetings were instantly called for the purpose" of requesting Washington to make a last desperate effort to avoid war. Diplomacy with principals of the Southern cause was urged to the utmost extent, in ah effort to adjust their grievances and set rest continued fears of conflict. Pennsylvania's Governor Curtin now became man of influence, as his powerful state bordered the Mason-Dixon line. While Philadelphia had given a majority vote to Lincoln in the 1860 campaign, it had turned thumbs down on Curtin.

Philadelphia was then the emporium of Southern commerce, and her merchants were to face the problem of sacrificing millions of dollars due from their Southern patrons. Curtin, however, was now governor and any public 'expression made by him under the circumstances was regarded with national interest. Consequently he was slated to address a business 'convention in Philadelphia shortly after the fall of Fort Sumter. Upon arrival he was met by a committee of various commercial interests who made an earnest appeal that he avoid any offensive expressions in his address that might inflame the Southern interests. Governor Curtin faced a problem that must undoubtedly remind us of the critical situation existing throughout the world well understood that any address from him that could be even distorted into a wanton provocation of the South would be overwhelmingly condemned.
