[Transcriber's note: Unreadable text.]
ACT FIRST
Charleston Harbor in 1861
After the ball. Residence of the Ellinghams.
The citizens of Charleston knew almost the exact hour at which the
attack on Fort Sumter would begin, and they gathered in the gray
twilight of the morning to view the bombardment as a
spectacle.--NICOLAY, _Campaigns of the Civil War, Vol. I._
"I shall open fire in one hour."--BEAUREGARD'S last message to
MAJOR ANDERSON. _Sent at 3:20 A.M., April 12, 1861_.
ACT SECOND
The Ellingham Homestead in Virginia
When the Union Army under Gen. Sheridan and the Confederate Army
under Gen. Early were encamped at Cedar Creek, almost twenty miles
south of Winchester, there was a Confederate signal station on Three
Top Mountain, overlooking both camps; [Transcriber's note:
Unreadable] another, near the summit of North Mountain, on the
opposite side of the valley.--Official Records and Maps.
ACTS THIRD and FOURTH
No Intermission between these Acts.

The Shenandoah Valley. Night and Morning. Three Top mountain.
[Transcriber's note: Unreadable text.]
While the two armies lay opposite each other, General Sheridan was
called to Washington. Soon after he left, a startling despatch was taken
by our own Signal Officers from the Confederate Signal Station on
Three Top Mountain.--POND, _Camp. Civ. War, Vol. XI._
On the morning of October 19th, the Union Army was taken
completely by surprise. Thoburn's position was swept in an instant. The
men who escaped capture fled to the river. Gordon burst suddenly upon
the left flank.--POND, _supra._
ACT FIFTH
Washington, 1826. Residence of Gen. Buckthorn.
_From Gen. Grant's Memoirs._
"I feel that we are on the eve of a great era when there is to be great
harmony between the Federal and Confederate."
