WARRINGTON, Fla, April Is.

Nothing of much interest has occurred
since my last letter of the 18th. Silence
and solemuity pervade the entire camp
Every one feels conscious of the forthcom-
ing struggle, and things have assumed the
stiffness that precedes the storm. The bay
is cleared of all sails Scarcely yawl.boat
ripples the calm surface of the bay. But
iu the midst of all this external stiffness,
intense activity marks our operations
Yesterday-Sunday though it was-was
spent in making new batteries. Two new
ones are going forward, on the beach in
Warrington. Another is going up just out
side of Fort Barraucas.
The enemy are wide awake, and actively
alert. They expected an attack from US on
Fort Pickens, on Friday night, the 18th.
A Warrington correspondent of Pensaco-
la paper published letter on Friday, which
stated that Fort Pickens would be attacked
The paper reached Fort Pickeps, and the
garrison took the alarm. 1t is said that
large reinforcements were that night thrown
into Pickens This correspondent, whose
non, dc plume was "Nemo," was yesterday
arrested and sent away, by order of Gen.
Bragg. His name is Mathews, and be is
a schoolmaster of this place. He is tri-
fling fellow, and is suspected of being spy
for the enemy.
On last Tuesday, the 9th inst, General
Bragg gave orders to close all the liquor
shops. During the day liquor was still
sold secretly. On Wednesday the whole
town was patrolled, every house and room
was searched and large quantities Of liquor
were destroyed. 1t is now impossible to
get drop of "the ardent" within FIVE miles
of our camp.
A little schooner arrived this morning,
from New Orleans, with hay and corn for
the Quartermaster. Two hundred more
Zouaves arrived yesterday, by way of Mo-
bile. They marched eighteen miles day
through deep sand. There are now four
companies of them, numbering 40 men.
They are in full Zouave costume, and by
far the most soldierly- Hooking of any corps
of the army.
Yesterday evening, at S o'clock. there
was great deal of signalling between Fort
Pickens and the feet. The result of it
was that the Brooklyn dropped down the
Island opposite "the gap" which is about
four miles east of the Navy Yard, between
it and Pensacola. At this "gap" the Is
land is only 800 yards wide. The other
ships drew up in a line along the Island
between the Brook!ym and Fort Pickens.
The evident object of this maneuvre was
to prevent an anticipated landing upon the
Island by our troops.
I do not think that the enemy will at.
tack US. They will await the first fire from
u.s. think that you may look for battle
here soon after the Goth Some unexpec-
ted event may hasten it
I am, since l have been writing THIS let.
ter, reliably informed that troops have been
thrown into Fort Pickens. This is a small
matter, for Fort Pickens has been virtually
reinforced since the Sth of February. The
fleet has, at any time, been able to land re.
Inducements in single hour. 1t is now
raining slowly and steadily, with the pros
pect of a long spell Of bad weather.

The long agony of doubt and suspense
which has, for months, paralyzed the ener-
gies of our people, is at length over. We
breathe freer now that We know the worst,
and can prepare to meet it. This place is
now to become the grand theatre of the
struggle, and the focal point of national in
terest 1t will be the pleasing duty and
earnest endeavor of your correspondent
daily to inform tie public mind, and re-
lieve the public anxiety, by communicating
through the columns of the Mercury an au-
thentic report of all military operations at
this point. When he ceases to do so, you
may take it for granted that be has gore
down beneath the tide of battle, and sleeps
with the dead, among the victims of war.
Just month ago, the work of reinforcing
this point began. At that time the garri-
son here consisted of five companies of Ala
bama twelve months volunteers. In addi-
ton to this battalion, there was remnant
of militia company, under Capt. O'Hara,
from Mobile, company Of Florida militia,
and another squad of twenty Florida militia.
This entire force, which constituted the gar
rison at this place on the 18th of March,
barely numbered 500 men. The first re-
Enforcement was the company of "Red
Eagles" from Mobile, Alabama, under COM
mand of Capt. Ben Lane Posey. They ar.
rived on the 18th of March, and we're
placed Immediately in command Of the
Barrancas Redoubt Capt. O'Hara's mill
tia and the Florida militia were then dis
banded.
Reinforcements then began to pour in
from all points. They have been arriving
almost every day since the goth ult. The
result is now an aggregate of 5000 men
