South Dreams of Intervention.
One Of the most thrilling and impor-
tant chapters of the civil war related
! to our foreign relations. At no place
| does the craftsmanship of Abraham
Lincoln appear to better advantage.
The south counted on Intervention by
European powers. Cotton was king,
and as soon as England and France
were short of cotton those nations
would take a hand and establish the
independence Of the Confederacy How
nearly this dream came to realization
has only been revealed since the war
Lincoln knew the danger, as was
shown by his notifications Of Sew
ards instructions to our minister to
Great Britain. On May the presi-
dent notified the European govern
ments that the Union would be main
tanned by force and implied at least
that foreign Interference was not need
ed and would not be tolerated.
This was a time of rapid recruiting
over the whole north. Washington
was becoming an armed camp Even
on Sundays military preparations went
steadily forward.
Confederates Formally Declare War.
On May the Confederate congress
formally declared war against the
United States. On this day General
J0hn a. Dix was placed in command
OF the New York troops. 1t was on
this date also that Arkansas went ont
of the Union. The next day Tennes-
see entered into a military league with
the Confederate states. Virginia form
ally Joined the Confederacy that day.
May saw Fort Smith, Ark. aban.
doned by small garrison Of Federal |
troops and occupied by a larger force
of Confederates. Major Robert An
derson was promoted to be colonel on
this day, and w. T. Sherman, the
head Of a street car company in ST. |
Louis rendered his services. The
United States revenue cutter Harriet
Lane was captured by Confederate
Drivateers.
After nearly three weeks of sus-
pended travel following the Baltimore
riots the routes through that city were
again opened up to travel. The first
shot after the formal declaration of
war was fired by the Yankee in a
light with the Confederate batteries

April -, and the evacuation took place
on the 14th The next day Lincoln is
sued his call for 10000 troops, and the
war was on. At the same time he call
ed congress in extra session for July 4.
Things now happened with bewilder-
ing rapidity. One Union general said,
1--WE lived a year every day" Some
of the border states refused to honor
Lincoln's call, but the entire north
moved to meet it as one man. States
clamored to send more than their quo
ia.
North Carolina had not yet left the
Union, but on April 1G she seized Forts
Macon, Caswell and Johnson. The
next day Virginia seeded. This was
the heaviest blow yet dealt the Union,
not only because Of Virginia's rank,
but on account of her military stand
ing, her prestige amon5 the other bor-
der states and her proximity to Wash
ington. On the same day that Yir-
ginia seeded Jefferson Davis called
for $4,000 troops and offered commits
sions to privateers to prey on Ameri-
san vessels.

Colonel r. J. C'StonewalP) Jackson
took command at Harpers Ferry, and
General Benjamin Il. Butler went to
the head Of the Union troops in the
Baltimore district in Maryland. Both
sides were finding their men, although
the south was making more rapid prog
ress in finding the men on whom she
would finally depend.
Up to this time a provisional con-
gress had been the legislative body of
the Confederates. On April 20 the
first regular congress under the newly
adopted constitution met at Montgom-
cry. 1t was announced by the British
government that there would be no in
tervention.
The difficulties that confronted Presi-
dent Lincoln may be realized in part
by the fact that on May /, 1861, the
United States treasury had not a dol

most momentous war Of our history,
yet the army, navy and even the
finances had to be created and organ

Baltimore were afterward disabled so
that the government was compelled TO
send troops by way Of Annapolis The
Seventh regiment Of New York started
on the 10Th and was among those to
take the new route At Annapolis the
railroad was found to be disabled, and
the members of the Seventh went to

Washington some days later tired and
dusty, but receiving a greater ovation
perhaps than would have been accord
ed them if in spick and span condition.
One more momentous occurrence
should be credited to the 10Th, for on
that day President Lincoln declared a
blockade of all southern ports.
