condition Of the Delaware County Infrmary,
We shall eadeavor TO give, as briefly as posi-
bic, all important facts connected with It's his
tory during the past year, without lengthy
comments upon any measure that may have

The farm was well titled during the past
year; eighteen acres of good corn. seven of

From Fort Pickens,

The New York Times publishes letter
dated United States Ship Powhatan. off
Pennsacols. Thursday. May 16. 1861.
from which we have the following state
ment of the rebel force now before Fort
Pickens:
There is now no use in concealing the
fact, that the fight here will be one of the
most desperate of the war. Our prepars-
tions are progressing rapidly. and fully
justifies us in the opinion that Fort Piekens
is almost impregnable. But the gigantic
strides making by Bragg's command. may

capture of the Navy yard and Barrancas.

end of hostiitics in these parts. Now. it
is on the best authority that / inform you
that the Secessionists ashore muster TO-
900 available fighting men. notwithstand-
ing previous estimates. They are scatter
ed for miles around, and have some of the
bes: officers in America to regulate the
movements. There are at least six | at.e-
ries that may open fire on Pickens now

in which they are situated no one of US
can find out The skill of three United
States military and naval officers has been
concentrated to make these most powerful.

/ Let il be distinctly understood then, that

at least IRE times more than tie Federal
troops. Take all our available men from
the ships, and You cannot make NJ one

been serious impediments. too, placed IN
the water within eight days. and 1t is now
very doubtful whether. forts left out, ships
could go up to the yard. Then Montgom-

tiers only to plainly establish one fact
namely: We cannot take permanent and
offensive stand in Florida with l, 500 men.
Defend Pickens. hold Rosas Island, batter
down McRae and Barrancas, we may, but
will the American people be satisfied with
this? Let the Cabinet decide whether
Federal forces are concentrated hero to de-
fend Pickens until it shall be made of little
, consequence; or to take the Navy-yard,
and make the fort impregnable in time.
The following is an extract from the
VI ont omery correspondence of the
+. Charleston Courier, under date of May IL:
Il understand from gentleman just ar
rived from Pensacola. that Gen. Bragg ex-
pressed himself ready to commence an at
tack on Pickens yesterday. He has COM
puted tha, in capturing the fortress 5000
! lives will be lost on our side. He says the
place cannot be taken at lesser sacrifice.
From the great preparation in tn, Medical
, Bureau, am inclined to think a speedy
attack is premeditated. Surgeons seem TO
/ be in demand, anil instruments and medi-
cines more So Each day several of the
disciples of Galen are dispatched with their
saws and tourniquets to the scene. and
nearly all of them on leaving have been
assured that they will soon have some
body that is hurt to attend to.

Important Statement.

The Washington letter. from an occa-
sional correspondent. which we publish In
another column. contains some statements
which are worthy of attention, in view of
the fact that the author occupies position
which enables him to know the drift of
events before they have ceased to be State
secrets. The writer says distinctly, that
regardless of tariff. cotton. blockades, or
what not. England will not recognize the
Southern Confcderacy; that the statements
which have given a different idea emanate
chiefly from the Tory Opposition papers
Of England, partly to embarrass the homo
Government, and partly to embitter the
strife in this country. He also says that
"the British feet now off Florida will CO.
operate practically. with the naval forces
Of the United States in putting stop to
priveteering. They will treat as pirates
the captains and .crews of any of those
crafts that capture American ships with
British goods on board f.;-
We believe these statements to be relia
bIe and authoritative. They furnish poor
comfort for the rebels. s.-Cin. Gas.

I came here.-I went from Plymouth to
Fort Wayne. arriving there on the 1lth
inst. at l o'clock. A. NJ. at which time
there were two companies of volunteers
marching to the depot to start for Indian
apolis; joined one Of them and we reach
ed Indianapolis at twelve o'clock the same
day. and marched Immediately to Camp
Morton. where we remained until the 4th
when we removed to camp Sullivan.
where we are now quartercd. As there
are doubtless q great many readers of the
Republican. who know nothing of mill
tary camp. will briefly describe camp
Morton and also camp Sullivan. Camp
Morton is the State Fair ground. about
so rods square, enclosed ell round by .
tight board fence. about twelve feet high.
On the south side there are small tents
in those tents. and cook and eat in front OF
them. On the east the tents are about the
same - those on tho south: on the north
the sleeping tents are put up in workman
like manner. with good shingle roof and
. nice cornicc in front, and tie inside is
divided into stalls about eight feet wide.
with . floor about four feet from the
ground to sleep on. and under which they
put baggage and provisions. The Com
missary. Offices. .Sc.. stand in different
places on the camp ground. Camp Sui
livan is the old Fair ground. 1t is about
thirty rods square. enclosed by rather q
poor fence; the tents are made of rough
boards. and our hunks are just large E.
nough to hold FIVE men. and are built one
above the other to the top Of the barracks.
1t rained Sunday night and Monday e
good portion of the day very hard. which
made the camp ground very muddy and
cooking very dissgreeablc: but the contin-
ued tramping of men. together with the
hot sun Of to-day has made the ground
dry and hard. This was the first rain we
hal since we came into camp Sullivan.
There are. .. present. about one thou
sand men in this camp. and they are all
fall Of life and anxious to get into active
service. Of which there is not much pros
pect at present. must say. apd l can
proudly say that il is the most civil crowd
