The American Civil War,The Rebellion Record—A Diary of American Events; by Frank Moore

—Colonel Lamon, a Government messenger, had an interview at Charleston with Governor Pickens and General Beauregard.—Times, March 26.

—The rumors from Charleston are very conflicting concerning the evacuation of Fort Sumter. One report states that Major Anderson is strengthening his position; another, that he has received orders to evacuate the fort and report himself for duty at Newport barracks, and that the officers are packing their goods in expectation of immediate departure. The truth of the matter will probably be known in a day or two.—Evening Post.
