This is coolbert:

More news Fort Sumter [1861]. From the archive of the New York Times as reported at the time.

Evacuation Fort Sumter still under consideration. Situation Charleston South Carolina untenable. 

YET ONE MORE SAILING, AMERICAN WARSHIP USS PAWNEE.

"IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE: THE QUESTION OF THE SOUTHERN PORTS; OUR SOUTHERN CORRESPONDENCE: Pen-Photographs of Charleston and the Charlestonian (4/2/1861)"

New York Times archives – Times Machine ^ | 4/2/1861

"WASHINGTON, Monday, April 1."

"THE LAST REPORT ABOUT SUMPTER."

"It is reported that the Pawnee [USS] has been ordered to Charleston to take off Major ANDERSON and his forces. This is not authoritative, but is stated upon apparently good information. It is now quite certain that Fort Sumpter will be evacuated within a few days."

What ever happened to the steamship SS Baltic and Fox USN? Also was on the way to evacuate the garrison.
