From the
Covington Journal of April 13, 1861, came this little nugget:
"New York. The Commercial says that the report that Jeff. Davis had telegraphed to Charleston not to fire on vessels carrying mere supplies to Sumter is confirmed by a dispatch from Charleston to a shipping house here."
It did have a couple other brief reports that proved to be more accurate regarding the possibility of hostilities, but this one caught my attention.
