inst. we stated that the U. 5. Ship Decoy, had
been permitted by the Board of Health, To
come up to the Navy Yard, to make some
necessary repairs, previous TO her departure
for Key West. Her officers and crew were,
at that iine, in perfect health, but on the next
day, alarming symptoms of malignant fever
were discovered among some additional sea
men which bad been received on board from
Baltimore, and she was immediately ordered
by Commodore S'nctoir, Naval commander
on TINS statlOn,) tn return IA her anchorage at
Craney Island, where the sick would receive
every attention which their situation required.
Doctor Cowdery, OF the Navy, WAS again or
dered down In administer to their wants in
ihe medical department, and from his kind
and constant attention. the whole number of
cases are now in a fair way of recovery
Doctor Z. came up To town on Sunday even

lSnant type, but at that time they were all
convalescent and believed TO he out of danger.

PENSACOLA, July 19.-The new canton

now nearly completed. 1t is situated at the
head of the Little Bayou, immediately at the
confluence Of the two upper branches. and
about two miles west of Pensacola. The Ba
You is always manageable for boats of two and
three feet water. This admirable situation
combines all the advantages of health, conve
olencc, econumy, and beauty. We hope The

lIghtiul station selected by their Colonel, and
prepared by their own labor.
On the 4th inst. the commanding officer.
Col. Brooke, embraced the opportunity to
name the cantonment. and il was called Ciiach,
IN honor of Col. Duncan l.. Clinch, the col
OF the regiment. The compliment is well
deserved by that meritorious and distinguished
