VISIT TO Fort McIlESRY. A correspon.

on visit to Fort McHenry, writes:
Fort McIlcnry is now in very good condi

riot occurred it was in very bad condition
and could scarcely have resisted vigorous
assault 1t is small work, of the old style
surrounded by dry ditch, and scarcely pro-
v,dcd with any dcfvnscs on the landward side
from which, when 1t was built. an attack was
never contemplated. But now thanks to the
energy of Major Morris Of the regular army
who has be, n fnr some time its commandant
it may defy attack from any quarter. Barri
cades have been erected 70 guard the entrance
An abt,is of trees. with projecting branches
has been erected around the fort. Scvcra
platforms have hecn extemporized under thu
curtain originally intended only TO shete
infantry. Sand bag guards have been PLACED

Cutters have beenproydsd to roll hand gren

Fresh guns have been mounted, and observed
that all the mortars and part Of the colum

UvWe recommend the attentive perusal of
the Sermon on our first page this week, by
Bishop Alfred Lee, of Delaware. Some of
the ministers We hear of in Cecil county
though we are happy to be able to say there
are none such in f lkton-have much need to
ponder well its pious teachings, as well as the
pnrc and exalted patriotism it breathcs.-
Those who prostitute the sacred desk by
covert thrusts at their Government, while
framing excuses for theft, murder and rebel
lion, in our humble view of the case, are
enlisted on the side of the father Of lies,
instead Of that Of the meek and lowly Jesus.
GIVE have on hand, and will publish next
week letter from Mr.. James Tombstone, in
reply to fin Anti Coercion Union Nun, who
figured in last weeks Democrat, in an article
mainly devoted to the Editor of The Wing.
As the writer seemed to have presented his
wares for our special benefit, we felt bound to
winnow his pile of chat in II brief rrjoinder /;
but Mr.. Touchstone entirely annhilates him.
uDYoung writer's are often spoiled, seldom
benefitted, by the publication of their early
efforts. II they ever attain distinction they
regret seeing their uncoulh productions in
print; and in these days, when poetry OF a
high order is abundant, it is hardly worth
while to print any that is below medioclit y.
The author Of % Happiness - may some day
" make good wriler,' as our fair cores
pendent suggests. but unless he is " born
poet" 1t will be lost labor for him to daily
with the muses.
