you of your health. have. been frequently in
formed by my friend Sibert who has hasn kind
enough to advise me occasinally respecting Mt
Scion and yourself. We have in this city be-
come highly excited by the, news that Fort
Sumter was fred into and taken by the troops
Of the Cotton States. The Presidents message,
calling first for $4,000 troops and then increas-
ing the demand to 175,OOO, has produced pro-
found and deep impression that we are about en-
teriDg into an awful performance, the end of
which no man can tell. The only hope now is,
that Va will stand firm by the Union and hold
all the border States to the same line of policy
If she does, ,10ur misguided South Carolina friends
can soon be brought to- reason--if she does not
but goes to swell the triumphal car of secession,
God knows the end. The universal sentiment
here Isl that if the Border States do 20 cut, then
the war must externinate the cause ao7bach has
created this contention. When I heard that
South Carolina fred coolly, and deliberately and
wantonly upon our flag, cried like child, that
our brothers should fire into u.s. IF the men that
did the deed could have seen the eyes that were
dimmed, and the stout frames of strong men that
shook when the news was received here, they
would have wished that the earth had swallow
ed them up. The newspapers and Office seekers
have done their best to set the sections against
each other.su May God forgive them can't y.
My Dear Sir, will Virginia secedea What is
your opinion Pray let me hear from you soon

places in society-in charch and State, and the
manner in which they fill them depends upon
the manner in which we educate them. If we
