that dawned upon the country in 1861.
Civil war had become dread reality.
Confederate troops had been assembl-

Virginia Approximations, for the
safety of Washington were rife and
federal troops were throwing up forti

Almost daily reports Were coming in
of skirmishes and light engagements
between the opposing forces In
this crisis the fourth was celebrated
with renewed fervor. Congress met
in special session on that day, the only
time in the history of the country that
the day has been chosen for such a
purpose. There was a dramatic force
in the arrangement that was not with
out its effect in stimulating patrio-
tism in the then tense condition of
the public mind. At once President
Lincoln set in his message calling
for 100000 men and $400.000.000 and
urging prompt measures for the prose
cution of the war.

much Of hope and anxiety throughout
the country. All eyes north and south
were turned toward Gettysburg and
Vicksburg, and there was little
thought anywhere save for the oppos-
ing armies that faced each other, for

the Potomac had been talked Of The
state militia of Pennsylvania had been
