HATTrR.s TyLrr, ". G.. Nov ~. 1861.
The steamer s. n. Spaulding arrived here yesier-
day with the 18th Pennsylvania Regiment, Col.
Nogle commanding. This entire regiment was raised
in Schuylkill County, Penn, after many companies
had been raised and attached 10 other regiments.
Col. Nogle was ali through the Mexican war,
where he distinguished himself, and gained the adj
mration Of his superior officers. He is mau OF
character and energy, possessing all the qualities OF
a soldier and Pennsylvania may rest assured that
this fine regiment, which numbers near thousand
men, will give good account q isclf if tie enemy
a1sails this point and from present appearances they
will doubtless make an effort in that direction be-
fore long. All the officers attached to this regiment
appear to be experienced men and good soldiers,
who enjoy the confidence and respect OF The entire
regiment. They also have fine band attached to
the regiment, which were playing patriotic airs ne
the Spaulding came in the inlet with flying colors.
This regiment will be stationed at Fort Clark which
was recently occupied by the Goth Indiana.
Since the great storm, we have had an opportunity
TO cast about and discovor the final result Of The

tween these forts by the storm Of the II inst which
will doubtless deepen, and soon become a navigable
stream. II is thought that in case another storm as
severe as the ole th. ID ns should visit this coast
Fort Hattoras would, unless il s strengthened, be
washed away, there il now nothing LEFT betweenl
the sea and the fort. The inhabitants ray that such
storms come only in eight or ten years. and that
we shall not be visited by Ike deluge on this coast
for many years TO come. Above Fort Clark matters
remain about as they were, with the exception that
the beach, for nearly a mile, is not so high as i was
by some three feet.
