The Delta has letter from Pensacola,
May 20, which says:
at is now stated here, and by reliable
persons, that Gen. Bragg will, in few
days, make an effort to sink the dry dock
IN channel running between Fort Pick
ems and Fort McRae. This attempt will
be made for the purpose of causing the
guns from the latter to operate success
fully on any vessel that may attempt to
force an entrance into the Bay of Pensa-
cola. Gen. Brown, it is said, has commu-
nicated officially to Gen. Bragg bis de-
termination to prevent any further OBJ
struction of the channel, and will, he says,
fire the moment the attempt is made
Gen. Bragg, on the other hand, says the
dock must and t0iH be sunk, and that the
channel shall be Instructed This is, /
am informed, the present position Of our
affairs at Pensacola"
The Picayune has letter from the
same place which says:
"Of the works erected here, or in pro-
gress of erection, for the reduction of
Fort Pickens, it is sufficient to say they
are Of the most extensive and formidable
character, and it is not surprising that
even with his slight knowledge of them,
they give marked uneasiness to the enc
my. Battery has, in fact, been added to
battery, now of mortars, now of largest
size guns till they would better be coun-
ted by miles than by numbers. Every
thing, however, is ready, and the word
of command only is awaited for the de-
voted fortress to be overwhelmed with a
perfect storm of shot and shell.
In the meantime the enemy are hourly
manifesting more and more uneasiness.
Long since, everything that could be done
was done to strengthen Fort Pickens.
and now, as if despairing of its success
ful defense, they are busily engaged in
erecting batteries all along the island, the
better to resist an assault or make good
their retreat. Some of these batteries
are distinctly visible; others are doubt
less masked, but that will not save them.
Of the immediate reduction of the fort
at any moment the word may be given, |
there can be no doubt. The day or hour
when the action will begin none can tell. |

There were only As infantry; our

four miles this side OF the hill, the rebels
fleeing and alarming the camp. The
cavalry then charged on the town, en-
countering vigorous resistances; they
were fired at from the houses on both
sides of the streets.
Lieut.. Tompkins had his horse shot
from under him, and his cavalry was sur
rounded by the infantry, who beset them
in front and rear, pouring in volley after
volley, but they fought their way through
taking seventeen prisoners, all but five
of whom escaped.
One of the cavalry was killed and two
wounded. Some staff officers of New
York 9th Regiment with the Federal
troops were all wounded, but not MORALLY.
Lieut.. Tompkins reports that the
rebel force amounted to 1900. Lieut..
Tompkin's men were highly praised
Tonight our troops will march on Fairfax
Court House and take it.

stand of Andy johnson and Nelson.

a. The Burlington Sentinel ntimates
that if the Republicans do not choose to
cotton to the democracy, they will see
'oho a0iH lose lyt. A threat is it The
Republicans close ?" If there is Re-
publican in Vermont who is disposed to
quit, now is the very time to do it. When
the great work of the Administration is
to fight traitors, none but the thoroughly
and heartily loyal are wanted in the
ranks. The fact undoubtedly is, how
ever, that there is not Republican in
Vermont whose faith, zeal, and hope
have not been confirmed by the course
of the Republican Administration; not
one who will not reverently say "Trait-
ors are out, and loyal men in--the Lord
be praised p Hatchman..

Vermont Politics.

The Republicans are to hold State
Convention at Montpelier, June 26, and
they propose to "take in" democrats
to vote for them, of course. No, gentle
men, for one we object to that. We
have never cast republican vote, nor
never shall, but we are willing to take up
the sword, as every democrat is, to sup
port the "powers that be-" according to
the Constitution. The black republican
powers that want to be" must do their
own voting, There is a democratic
party Woodstock Age.
So we suppose it would be, the no
party cry TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
Those who wish to 60 ia with the age to
continue the democratic party, certainly
ought not to be denied that privilege
AS for the rest, if, under the peculiar
circumstances of the case they deem it
their duty to give hearty support to the
Administration in its present paramount
duty OF resisting treason and sustaining
the Constitution, Union and government
they can consistently, and ought cheer
fully, act with the Republican party.
The call of the committee opens the
door, and the higher call of patriotism
is" Walk in Watchman.
