War of the Rebellion: from the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies and Navies
    

Rumor on warlike armaments for Fort Pickens and perhaps Sumter growing stronger.

[APRIL 6, 1861.]

Hon. ROBERT TOOMBS, Secretary, &c., Montgomery, Ala.:

No change in the activity of the warlike armaments mentioned yesterday. The rumor that they are destined against Pickens and perhaps Sumter is getting every day stronger. We know nothing positive on the subject, but advise equal activity on your part to receive them if they come. We have not yet been notified of the movement, but the notification may come when they are ready to start.

CRAWFORD.

FORSYTH.

ROMAN.
