FROM F0WT pIUREVS.

A correspondent of the New York HsT4Id,
one Of the Wilson Z]Juaves, writes from Fort
Pickens on the 24-b ult.
There are now in Fort Pickens some 1900
regular United States troops, which. together
with our regiment, will make about 2400. they
will be increased by the arrival from New
army to between 5000 and 5000 men. Our
regiment will not take quarters 10 the fort, but
will camp outside, and engage themselves in
the erection OF batteries, which, when COM
pleted, will pay especial attention to the Pen
sacola navy yard. When the troops I have
Just alluded to have arrived, and sufficient ex-
ecution been done by the batteries to the navy
yard, the feet will open Oh it in one direction,
while the troops will attack it in another by
escalade, and attempt to carry it at the point
Of the bayonet. Gen. Bragg is now in Pensa-
cola, at the head of 1000 OF 5000 men. For
t~unately, the walls Of tue navy yard are Of 10
great hight or thickness, and those who nnder-
stand these matters give il as their opinion
that there will be but two or three volleys, a
| general rush, a close hand to-haGd combat, in
which the baYonet, sabeT and but end Of the
musket will be he most conspicuous weapons,
aud in a short time the affair will be settled.
Should It come to this it will be both desperate
and bloody. We have been selected to lead
the van. The remainder Of the volunteers
will follow next, and then the regulars. The
boys seem to enjoy it nightly. That this
regiment possesses the raw material for fight
ing, there can be no question, but they will be
more effective after they shall have had more
discipline.

n The Fort Smith Times, of the 18th
instant, learns that Capt. Pike has concluded
treaties with the Choctaws, Chickasaws,
Creeks and Seminoles. All the tribes on the
frontier have thus formed an alliance with the
Confederate States, except the Cherokees. Mr..
Ross is for neutrality, and a large number of
bis people are with the South, mostly half
bloods, while the full-bloods are opposed to the
South, and still adhere to the old government.
The Cherokees are said to be very much divid-
ed in sentiment, and several Of the half bloods
have been compelled to fee for their lives. The
Times entsr,sins no hope of any arrangement
being made with Mr.. Ross and the Confederate
commissioner.
q The following paragraph of bragadO-
clio from the PIttsburg Poet, sounds "queer"
siRce the events Of the past few days. It's
author had evidently not heard Of Mannas-
sas, or even Bethel, Vienna and Aqua Creek.
"The soldiers of the rebel army have nm at
Philippi, at Romney, at Rich Mountain and
everywhere else. 1t really looks as if they
were all towards and lot fit to fight with brave
men. General Mcclellan was not far wrong
when, in one Of bis Proclamstions, be ex-
pressed regret that bis soldiers Eculd not find
f0emsn worthy Of their STEEL"
Is THIS STARvATIos?-Ths LyBchburg Re-
publican q the 18th says that immense guam
titles CT army supplies, principally bacon and
coffee, are transported over the Orange and
Alexandra railroad for Msnssss, Winchester,
and other points. On Saturday evening, the
18Th, the editor noticed supplies on board the
cars, which, in quantity, seemed to him suf
clent to feed ten thousand men for an entire
year. Does this look like starvation, with
which the North has threatened us?

Great excitement prevailed in and about this

MANUFACTURE OF SMALL ARMS IN GEoR-

ments are being made to the manu-
facture of small arms in Athens, Georgia.
This 70 commendable and should be initiated
elsewhere. The machine shops of Augusta
might engage in the work, with profit.
Muskets and rifles are more needed than any
other species Of arms at present, and we have
no doubt that the demand would equal the
supply that could be furnished here. We hope
that the subject will meet with the attention
which it deserves, and that our macbinists and
gunsnitbs will follow the example Of those Of
Observation-Disclosures.
