A letter written on board the steamer

says:
We could at any time possess ourselves
of all the government property here il the
course of twenty-four hours. Forts MeCrea
and Barrancas are both commanded by Fort
Pickens, and could be reduced in a very short
time. Fort McCrea has settled down some
feet into the sand since it was first built, and
still continues to do so.
We were all turned out on the evening
of the 9th, by report that Col. Forney in
tended attacking Font Pickens before day
break on Sunday A. NJ. 1t is said that the
worthy Colonel did hold such intention butts,
changed his mind. We were we'll prepared;
our boats were hoisted out and equipped, the
muskets We're loaded, the soldiers were ready
and we would have been in upon them at a
moments warning.
This ship appears to be the scape-goat of
the squadron. She is termed the Black Dew
il of the Gulf, and the secessionists have re-
fused to supply us with water We are pref
ty well satisfied here, and only desire few

ship before the end Of the week, if she should

Town Meeting.

Our town meeting occurred on Monday
and the result is a mixed board of town Of
icers. The town Hall seemed to be full OF
men, but the result Of IL, ballotings slew
falling of Of over fifty votes from last year.
We do not propose to discuss the causes of
toe partial success of the Democrats on Mon
day. To those here who understand the mat
ter, it would be a work OF surererogation
and to those abroad no explanation is need
ed, as it is the result of temporary and loea
causes altogether. But one Of the old board
Of selectmcn was renominatcd and he WIS
elected No one seemed to care much who
was elected, or as to his politics. 1t was GER
tain that no democrat could be elected with
out Republican votes; and large and ac-
tive number of the party went for the demo-
Gratis with zeal, and as remarked, for Va
rous reasons, and with success. We should
have been willing, to inaugurate the policy
of taking part of the town officers from
both parties, and this may be the beginning
of such course. The only drawback there
is now, to this plan, ana to taking Mondays
work as the beginning of it, is that neither
party really proposed to do 50, and whca a
fair caucus is had and patty places
its candidates in nomination, it is not very
pleasant to have them defeated; and the
party triumphing desires the credit Of a
victory but we rcpeat what all democrats
know. that as stanch and reliable Republic
cans as We have, placed the successful demo
cratic candidates in Office Wehavc confi,nce
in the officers elected. and believe that thy
will act faithfully and fairly while in office,
1t is but justice to the old board Of select
men to say, that they have managed the af.
fairs Of the town with great prudence and
care, having raised the credit of the town
from pint bsl9H zero, to that Of being y
