Not possible to leave here. Southern confederacy certain. Arkansas must save her children by joining it. Write by mail to-day. JOHNSON and HINDMAN, _Official Records_, first ser., vol. liii, supplement, 617. WASHINGTON, February 7, 1861. JOHN POPE, ESQ., Little Rock, Ark.: For God's sake do not complicate matters by an attack. It will be premature and do incalculable injury. We cannot justify it. The reasons that existed elsewhere for seizure do not exist with us. ALBERT PIKE, R. W. JOHNSON. --_Ibid._, vol. i, 682. U. S. SENATE, WASHINGTON, February 7, 1861. HIS EXCELLENCY H. M. RECTOR, Little Rock, Ark.: The motives which impelled capture of forts in other States do not exist in ours. It is all premature. We implore you prevent attack on arsenal if Totten resists. R. W. JOHNSON, W. K. SEBASTIAN. --_Ibid._, 681. WASHINGTON, February 7, 1861. R. H. JOHNSON, JAMES B. JOHNSON, Little Rock: Southern States which captured forts were in the act of seceding, were threatened with troops, and their ports and commerce endangered. Not so with us. If Totten resists, for God's sake deliberate and go stop the assault. R. W. JOHNSON. --_Ibid._, 681-682. WASHINGTON, February 7, 1861. GOVERNOR RECTOR, Little Rock, Ark.: For God's sake allow no attack to be made on Fort Totten. A. RUST. --_Ibid._, vol. liii, supplement, 617. February 7, 1861. E. BURGEVIN, Little Rock: For God's sake do not attack the arsenal. It can do no good and will be productive of great harm. C. B. JOHNSON. --_Ibid._ LITTLE ROCK, February 8, 1861. C. B. JOHNSON, Washington: Spoke too late, like Irishman who swallowed egg. Arsenal in hands of Governor. EDMUND BURGEVIN. _Official Records_, first ser., vol. liii, supplement, 617.
