STRENGTHENING THE DEFESCEs OF Fort PICK
Ems II he importance of the recent move of Lieut.
Slemmer in erecting a sand battery to the east
ward Of Fort Pickens, Is thus explaiaed by the
Mobile Daily Advertiser OF the 9th instant:
The sand battery defends the only land ap-
proach TO Fort Pickens, which stands on the ex-
treme western point Of Santa Rosa island The
island is some 40 miles long, but very narrow in
some places being scarcely more than a third of a.
mile in width The battery stands on A narrow
pirt OF The Island. and is an enectual ostaost to
prevent surprise from a s.orming force
five are TO come TO blows with Lincoln's Ad-
ministraticn we shall want to take r Ort Pickens
and will try; and as we have no navy and our
batteries on tue main land can only play nj long
taw with the powerful island fortress which can
more than hold Its own at that game and destroy
any attacking force approaching In boats, the
most feasible method of attack is to throw a pow
erful force on the santa Rosa Island several miles
to the eastward, crossing them over from the main
land across sound about a half mile, more or
less, wide. Once on the island, their programme
would be 10 rush down on Fort PIC kens aud ia ke
ii by overwhs lining assault
We understand that Slemmer has taken every
care and precauton in his power to strengthen
his defences on the island side of the fort, and
no We are advised that be has provided an out.
post work Of defence; ana if II be nothing more
than station for picket guards, IL will answer
toe purpose Of efectGally preventing anything
Ike surprise. The Island, however, affords the
facility of making regular siege approaches by
an attacking force, and yet this force could he

and saen Of squadron playing upon them in
flank from the Gulf or bay
We hope the worst will not come to the worst
and that we shall get the fort easier than "a et ar.
ms; but II We DO not, this sand battery of Lieut.
sIemmers is i matter Of interest, and will play a
part OF some importance In an attack on the only
Plan In which We can quickly gain posse ssion Of

the city OF Washington would be razed So that a
plow share should be run over the place where
now Lincoln nsrvously rests, and that mag nih-
cent monument OF former greatness, the Capitol
would be blown sky-high, l might not Ia such a
prediction be a false prophet
l, IKE many southern man, have few cents
invested In that other monument begun years AGO
TO the memory Of George Washington which
monument, IL left to black republican keeping,
hope to see rent In twain from top to bottom
Some of your submission readers may call this
vandalism. Itmatters not with me what they call
1t; that monument will never be allowed to stand
on black republican soil, and Won NAV tax that
as another prediction. II YOU will look to the
Courier of the date Of the 9Th inst Won will see
my invading plot limited at there q The south
