Russell stated that naval force would be
sent to the American coast for the protec-

The law officers of the crown are investi-

order to guide the government in its in

had advanced on British vessels from the
South. Insurance has been advanced also
on American vessels from India and China.
The London money market was much

instructions had been sent to British crui-

that the collection of duties as proposed
would be impraoticable. Relative to the
blockade, he said it could only be recog-

marque issued by the Southern Confederacy,
the Government were Of opinion that the
Southern Coufederacy must be recognized

18Th instant, for San Antonio, across the
country, calling for volunteers every where.
He reached San Antonio on the 2lst, order

Immediately to the coast with eight pieces
of field artillery, and started himself for
the coast on the 22nd, in advance Of the
troops, and reached Indianola on the 24th.
The United States troops, in the mean time
heard Of what was going on, and on the
24th chartered two sail vessels to take them
to Pensacola. COL Van Dorm found 600
men already there, on fue days notice, and
determined the game should not escape him
in that way, he chartered two steamers and
overhauled them on the Gulf, when they
surrendered without fringa gun.
They were all brought back and are now
held as prisoners of war. Col. Waite, who
superseded Gen. Twiggs, and several other
officers are held as prisonersiu San Antonio,
where they have been staying for two
months past. I wrote to you that there
were 1900 U. s. soldiers at Indianola, but
that was an exaggerated report there are on
ly 700 of them. The soldiers are unwilling,
generally, to fight the South. Some three
hundred of them passed by this place on
their way to the coast. 1 talked to several

could get the pay due them, and an honor.
able discharge, two thirds Of them would re-
main here and fight for the South and I
think it quite likely that many Of the men
will enlist now, as they are prisoners in the
army of the Confederate States.
Col. Van Dorm certainly deserves great
praise for the energy he has displayed in
the whole affair. The whole expedition was
carried out as no other people but Texans
could do-that 600 men could be assembled
at point from so to IS miles distant from
their homes at four or .fue days notice,
seemed almost incredible in the old States
and in FIVE days more there would have
been twenty-five hundred men there. The
regulars did not get there at all, and hun
dreds were coming in all directions when
they learned that the work was accomplish.
ed. -
Since the opening Of hostilities, the peo.
pie of this State are forgetting all past politi.
cal differences and uniting in q common
cause. In San Antonio, where the opposi-
ton seemed to threaten something serious,
the leaders have taken the oath to support
the Constitution of the Confederate States,
and advised their adherents to forget the
past and unite in the common cause.

Washington City and it's Position,


Washington city is situated on the left
bank of the Potomoc river, between two
small tributaries the one on the east called
the East branch, and one on the west called
Rock river. The latter separates it from
Georgetown. The general altitude of the
city plot is 40 feet above the river, but it is
diversified by irregular elevations which are
taken advantage Of in the location of the
different public buildings. The plot is
somewhat in the form of an amphitheatre,
the Presidents House On the west standing
on one of the sides, and the Capitol on the
other. The two buildings, about one mile
apart, are situated in about the centre of
the whole. The former is elevated "A feet
above the Potomac, and the latter Il feet.
The summit of the hill on which the capitol
stands is the commencement of plane
stretching to the east, while that Of the
north of the Presidents house tends west
ward. These Typographical peculiarities
give great advantages for the defence of the
city. The city plot extends Al miles in a
N. ". and S. E., and about 81 miles in q
2. E. and s. W. direction, and covers an
area of nearly eleven square miles. The
resident population is about 55,0O0-with
Georgetown $4,000.
The only means of communications be.
tween the city and the opposite shore of
Virginia is by the long bridge. This ap-
proach is guarded all the time by between
three and FIVE hundred men, capable of re-
pelling any attempt Of the enemy to cross
the Potomac at that point. These troops
consist of infantry, artillery and cavalry.
