Arrival of the Europa and looming secession turmoil
The Europa and North Briton arrive at Liverpool after telegraphic word from Irish ports. South Carolina has seceded, with Governor Pickens proclaiming independence and a Charleston Convention considering relations with Washington. Reports from Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and others indicate rising secession sentiment ahead of Lincoln's presidency. News from Pittsburgh warns of gun shipments to Texas and potential fort enforcements amid national divisions. In Washington the Interior Department uncovers a $830,000 defalcation in Missouri bonds tied to Indian Trust funds, Bailey’s arrest follows, and a broader graft pattern hints at further investigations.
