Governor McGrath, of South Carolina, too, had called out every man capable of bearing arms from fifteen to sixty, and placed them by regiments under Beauregard and Johnston. The forts along the coast in great numbers were abandoned, and the troops thus gathered together did excellent service.
Beauregard was off in here somewhere, at Bird's Ferry according to our camp reports the evening previous. This knowledge prompted me to ask, "Which way is the river?" "To the right about three miles." "And Bird's Ferry?" I could not be certain she smiled, yet I thought so. "Yonder," pointing. "The river curves to the south, and this road comes down to it at Jonesboro; there is a bridge there.
The plan is Beauregard's own, and Beauregard is to have command. Hence all the glory of capturing the National Capital, must be Beauregard's. Why not? But "man proposes, and God disposes." The advance and attack, are, in that shape, never to be made.
