Newport News Point.

The origination of the name of this Point,
lately made notorious by the advance of Gen,
Buffers force, is thus explained:
"The early colony on James River was at
one time reduced to straitened condition,
and some of its members started down the
james River, with the intention of proceed-
ing to England. They reached the bend in
the river, which is at present an object of in
terest. and paused for some days. When
they were about to set sail, they saw shin
coming up the Roads, bearing the British
ensign. They delayedl till it should arrive.
It proved to be Lord Newport's ship, with
his Lordship on board, who brought the in.
telligence that the ship which the colony had
long before despatched to England for sup
plies, and which was many months overdue
was near at hand, bringing much needed re.
lief. Meantime, his Lordship distributed
provisions among the colonists, who, from
these circumstances, named The place "New
ports News" on account of the good tidingt
which his Lordship brought them"

The Post Office Department.

WASHINGTON, june 13.-The Postmaster
General is engaged in determining on new
style of stamped envelopes, to be ready for
the public use in few days. The new
stamps will not be furnished until the first
of August. These changes have been rem
dered necessary by the large supplies res
tanned by the Postmasters in the Seeded
States, and now used by them without uquiv.
aleut to the United States Post Office De-
partment. About two dozen of these POST
masters have returned balances of stamped
envelopes and stamps in sums ranging from
eighty cents to five dollars. while the Post
master of Mobile recently accounted for
$4,000 worth. Although the Postmaster at
Memphis had in his possession such proper
ty amounting to $4,000, he wrote for an ad-
ditional supply of larger value, but this was
refused, his dishonest intentions having been
detected.

Difference between Forts and For
tresses.

There is but one fortress in the United
States-Fortress Monroe; all the other fol-
tilted places defending our harbors are call
ed forts. The distinction betwixt these two
terms is very wide. All fortresses are forts
or fortified places but all forts are not for.
tresses. A fort may be simply an ad-
vanced work to protect the extended walls of
fortress. Generally fortresses are extern
sive encientes for the reception of the garri.
spns, and built for the protection of cities
In the United States no extensive fortified
places, with large garrisons, have been con-
structed for the defence of cities. Fortifea.
tions in this country have had reference prin
eipally to harbor defence.
Fortress Monroe, with its capacity for a
garrison, tit includes rs acres,) was con-
structed for thu defence of the important
Navy Yard of Gosport AMI Norfolk, now in
possession of Virginia o. the Confederate
States. The construction of the extensive
wells of fortress involves the highest sci-
ence of engineering. N t so with the forts.
The former implies polygons, bast;oas, cur
tains, glacs. covered ways, planks, scarps
and counter scarps, ravelins, redans, re-
doubts, and the whole ocabulary of engin-
eering science. Add to this idea vast en-
ciente, or decentralization, to cor tain a large
garrison of troops, and fortress rises to its
majesty. A full garrison for
fortress Monroe is 3 900 men.

said the alert sentinel, looking out for his

following from the correspondent:

An English Talent.

If the English are remarkable for any one
quality, it is for their facility in making
themselves disagreeable an disliked. This
they have practiced so unremittingly on the
continent If Europe that they have not
single sincere friend amongst the Contl-
mental Powers, from st. Petersburg to Lis
bon. They were formerly tolerated for the
facility with which they spent their money ::
but now, as OILY themselves say, the Ameri-
cans have elipsed them in that respect. Their
facility for exciting illness and its re-
suits were strikingly displayed after We'll
lington's campaigns in Spain. No sooner
was peace made than the English were as
tonished to find that they, tie allies of the
Spaniards, were less popular than the French,
who had been devastating the country for
years. So, too, the prints of Napoleon's VIC
tories are to be found hanging everywhere
through the count les which he conquered,
but who ever saw on The continent print of
Waterloo, the battle in which England con-
sidered that she liberated Europe?
For many years the Americans have been
more friendly to the English than any other
people. Where could such o spontaneous
ovation be called forth for any member of
the royal family es that received here by the
Prince of Wales? friendship such as this,
from free and intelligent people, was GER
tainly worth cherishing but whore is it
now ? Gone, dispelled, thanks to English
bankering after cotton-shatterd by the rib
aldry of the London Times, so extensively re-
printed in this country, and by the studious
Misrepresentation of kindred journals.
The senseless vituperatien of these papers
is laying the foundation of hostile feeling
towards England which may yet render
war welcome. She has tried her hand twice
upon US, and we scarcely think the results
were encouraging for future contents.

in whatever else they fall short, if they will
