Añadir al carritoA pair of documents related to the celebrations of April 14, 1865, surrounding the re-raising of the United States flag over Fort Sumter. The recapture of Fort Sumter in February of 1865, while perhaps not of great strategic value, was nonetheless as concrete a symbol as possible of the imminent restoration of the Union. The War… Department's General Orders No. 50, issued by order of the President, were sent to prominent individuals as an invitation to the celebrations. They declare "That at the hour of noon, on the 14th day of April, 1865, Brevet Major General Anderson will raise and plant upon the ruins of Fort Sumter, in Charleston harbor, the same United States flag which floated over the battlements of that Fort during the rebel assault, and which was lowered and saluted by him and the small force of his command when the works were evacuated on the 14th day of April, 1861." They also specify a hundred-gun salute from the fort, a National salute including "every fort and rebel battery that fired upon Fort Sumter," and explicitly mention "the delivery of a public address by the Reverend Henry Ward Beecher." Lincoln apparently chose Beecher personally to speak at the event, remarking that "if it had not been for Beecher there would have been no flag to raise." In addition to Beecher's popularity as a speaker and his efforts speaking abroad on behalf of the Union during the war, the selection of such a noted and influential abolitionist for this event symbolically ending the war left no room for doubt about its causes. Present along with the General Orders is an official, postmarked envelope of the Adjutant General's Office, signed by Assistant Adjutant General E. D. Townsend and addressed to John H. Clifford. Clifford, the former Attorney General and Governor of Massachusetts, has docketed the envelope "Fort Sumter. April 14th 1865." Together with the General Orders sent to Clifford is the actual program of events used on the day. The booklet was published by the Port Royal New South, one of the earliest occupation newspapers printed in the Confederacy, and which continued to run until 1867. The activities included a public prayer led by Matthias Harris (who was the chaplain who presided over the raising of the same flag over Fort Sumter in December, 1860), readings of Psalms 126, 47, 98, and 20 by R.S. Storrs (future president of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions), a reading of Anderson's dispatch to the government announcing the fall of the fort, the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, and of course the promised speech of Henry Ward Beecher. A scarce and important group of documents from the ceremony which symbolically ended the Civil War. SABIN 25167. MIDLAND NOTES 91:96 (Programme). Program a bit soiled with a small tear at gutter, not touching text, later ownership inscription in blue pen on last page. About very good. General orders near fine.

Añadir al carrito4to. 7 pages, approximately 1200 words in a completely legible hand, on lined stationery, with the embossed stamp of Evans and Cogswell, Charleston. Docketed on the verso of the final leaf "July 15 1861 / James Simons / to / Governor Pickens / Reply to Letter / of Gov. P / 11 July 1861." Brigadier General James Simons's draft co…py of a letter further explaining his reasons for resigning his command, given in reply to a July 11 letter from Gov. Pickens that apparently had quarreled with earlier correspondence from Simons, responding point by point, to criticisms he feels the Governor has leveled against him over differences of opinion regarding the military defensibility of Charleston Harbor. Most, if not all, of the Pickens-Simons correspondence concerning this matter has been published; the James Simons papers at the University of South Carolina holds correspondence from Pickens, but we have not been able to locate the original manuscripts or other drafts for the Simons portion of this correspondence. Old tideline from dampstaining, with professional conservation work, cleaning the paper, restoring chipped areas along the lower edge through leaf-casting, and completing several letters and marks with matching manuscript on four leaves. Folded for mailing or filing. (61444) (9835). Following the Union Army take over of Fort Sumter by Major Robert Anderson on December 26, 1860, just six days after South Carolina seceded from the Union, Gov. Pickens directed Major General Schinierle to occupy Fort Moultrie, Fort Johnson, and Castle Pinckney, and to establish a battery on Morris Island to prevent, at all costs, the reinforcement of Anderson's men. Simons, as commander of the 4th Brigade of the Charleston Militia, was second in command of the defenses for the harbor, occupying the critical spot at Morris Island at the harbor's entrance. He expressed his concerns over the defense of the harbor in a six-page report to the Governor on January 1, 1861: "I cannot sacrifice to matter of Etiquette questions and issues of such momentous importance as now surround us . The line of operations embraces four points 1) Fort Moultrie 2) Castle Pinckney 3) Fort Johnson 4) Morris Island. By the map which accompanies this paper, it will appear that your lines of communication with these points . are directly within the range and effective power of Fort Sumter - the Citadel of the Harbour controlling every point. At the first return of fire from Fort Sumter, your lines of communication are utterly cut off." He goes on to report: "Fort Moultrie - This position is wholly untenable - Lt. Col. De Saussure . gave you prompt notice of this fact on the morning after his occupation." To this Gov. Pickens responded with great offense, insinuating that Simons was counseling abandonment of the harbor defenses. Simons' first letter of resignation came almost immediately, on January 8, but he was prevailed upon by the Secretary of War to withdraw it. The 4th Brigade, under Simons command led the first attack on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. The controversy between Simons and the Governor continued to simmer until a few months after Anderson and his Union forces had surrendered Fort Sumter. By July, in spite of Simons' successes defending the Charleston harbor, he again offered his resignation. Gov. Pickens apparently wrote to refute Simons arguments. Simon replies in this lengthy manuscript letter: "I had hoped I would not have been obliged to extend this correspondence but I am sure your sense of justice will indulge me a letter further. I have assigned among other reasons for resigning, that you have not shown that recognition which appeared to be due to me as a general officer. I detailed several instances, but confined myself to the facts, neither canvassing nor questioning your intuition or motive. You reply, that you do not think my reasons for resigning are sufficient, yet you adopt a line of argument to arrive at this conclusion, which not only admits t.
