Interesting from Penscoia.

Our dispatches have already announ. I.
Oed tn 1t the rebels around Lort Pickens
are getting uneasy, discouraged aud scM :
ed. The cosrespondenoe Of our South.
ern TX !bauges corroborate the statements
otthe telegraph. A recent letter to the
Memphis Appeal says that there were
sixteen batteries erected az inst Fort :
Pickens. of which the FIRST. scond an
third have each twenty -four pouuderes.
and two eight and ten inch Coluu,biads
Fo,t Pickens wa bristlng with cannon.
The guns Of the flying artillery were SO
close and numerous that it was imposs-
ibls to count them from the rebel quar-.
ters. The U. s. troops had twenty hors,
es grazing on Santa Rosa Island. Five
sond batteries were being erected ON the
island by the Government engineers.
The s. Louis and S ,bne were some five
miles off, while the wyan lottc and
Brooklyn were up in the bay opposite the
Navy Yard, just in position to prevent tho
Secession troops from landing above .be
Fort or on Santa Rosa ,land.
The writer hints ut dissatisfaction a.
mong the Tennessee aud Mississippi yolun-
t'ers, and expr, sses opinions of some of
the officers not at all complimentary to
the latter. Without saying so, in as
many words, he plainly implies that an
attack on the Fort will not be attemp cd
at present. A correspondent OF the
Charleston Mercury, writing from Pen
secola say there is y great deal of dis.
lress and poverty there and at Woosev,
near the Navy Yard, all laborers aud me
chanics being thrown ut of employm mt.
a correspondent of one Of the New Or
leans papers uses the folio wing language:
The United States evidently design a
uava' depo. on Sl,ta Rosa Island, 1t is
their stronghold in the South, and will de.
lend 1t to the last man. When the fight
is to commence no one has the least idea;
but if Gen. Bragg opens fir in two weeks,
/ m no prophet. Prepared or not, he
will answer the first shot. His military
secrets are lis own
