FROM KEY WEsT.-From Key West letter of the
10th inst, in the Charleston Courier we extract the
following:
The fall of ranthis and the past month has never
been exceeded, we believe. Had it occurred earlier
in the season, sickness would have followed. Now,
no danger can be apprehenled. The few cases of
fever reported last month have, with four exceptions
recovered, and we can now announce the island as
being perfectly healthy. ,z
The Notifications at the point of this island and at
Tortugas, are progressing fayOraby. AT the former
full force is not employed, but early in November
active operations will be resumed AT Fort Jefferson
a large number have been at work during the sum-
mer, and the work will be so far advanced by spring
to admit the mounting of the first tier of ITO guns
The first tier OF guns at Fort Taylor are already
mounted and the work is able to show resistance in
case of an attack. These two Notifications will mount
in their water batteries, when finished, over $50
guns the majority of which will be inch coumbiads.
We believe that other extensive works are designed
after the completion of these as cover-faces or pro-
tecting works. and they, constituting part of the orr
gnal plans will be built With appropriations made
nominally for these fortiHcations. 1't q

time of his death. He was shot down in front of his
