This Rebellion.

An American residing in London con-
cludcs letter to Chas G. Greene, Esq, tho
editor Of the Poaton Post, in words as fol
lows. When il ia remembered that the
writer and the person addressed have been
lifelong and active Democrats, the words
have special significance;
wish could put every man in the North
only one week in England, lie would then
go homc--cvcry man-rcsolvcd that, cost
what il might Of blood, and treasure aud
t.mo. there should be no cessation OF con-
stautly-utenSjiyiug power bearing down
upon this rebellion, till every breathing
soul and every rod Of ground within what
now are, or ever were, or ever will be, The
United States, recognized the flag of tho
onion as the only banner of sovereignty.
Nothing else vii. do. Nothing can cost TOO

We read in the last French papers that
Napoleon III, holds fast to the idea of or
gauizing regular sevice with the United
States. In the year 1858 concessions were
made for this purpose to a company at
IIavrc, who, in order TO carry this project
successfully through, had entered into part
nership with several capitalists and bankers,
The war of Italy, and perhaps, also, the in>
suIliciency of the capital realized, had COM
PEELED this company TO postpone its opera
tlon to a more auSric.ous time. The pro-
joct has Just been resumed upon an entirely
new basis, the principle feature Of which is
that the French Government will make an
advance of 100000 of francs, without IN
terest to the Transatlantic Steamship Conf
pany, to bo reimbursed in annual instalh
ments of one million each. In consideration
of this grant the company will establish
line of sixteen steamers, running between

An Immense E'OTtiiCatiGn i'm
Progress On sandy HOOK.
onton n. j. Gazette says

The Trenton IN. J.) Gazette says:
"Somc years since, it will be remember
e1 that a great topic Of discussion in mill
tary and civil circles, was the dcienscs in
New y orl harhor There was prevalent
opinion among the most distinguished engi-
ncers that in order TO complete the protec-
ticn of the bay and city, and prevent
descent of hostile forces on the shores of
New Jersey, il was absolutely necessary to
guard the outer key of the Atlantic, by
erecting huge fort on the most favorable
portion of Sandy Hook. Dclcnses thus To-
Gated, it was believed, would command the
ocean access to the Empire city and strength
en- the upper forts for Il renewed attack in
ease an enemy should pass beyond the reach
of their batteries.
Acting ON the suggestion, the Federal
Government ordered the building OF an i'm
mcnsc fort on the western portion Of tho
beach. which, from its strength and solidity,
viii no doubt he considered one of the most
formidable harbor delcnscs of the United
States, The corner stone of the fort was
laid on the Goth of March, 1859 The walls
will cover an oblong area Of about one milo
in length. 1t will have bastions, the length
of each of which will be in accordance with
the extent of its particular command of
some point Of the Atlantic Atpreseut the
northeastern bastion is nearly ready for
mounting guns, and the eastern and north
crt curtains which protect il arc sufficiently
elevated TO lay the cmbrasWe stones. Two
are nearly ready for the guns The stones
in front of the fort arc from six to eight
tons weight, and were brought from quar-
ries in Quincy, Mass, and Maine. The tiers
of the guns will have srong and spacious
easements. The foundation which is laid in
concrete, was made seven feet from the sur
face and the breadth of the walls at the base
10 fourteen feet and at the top ten feet. Tho
easements are indontcd about thirty feet
from the outer walls, and commanding all
points Of The surrounding ocean. The fort
will be protected ly deep trenches at its
outer points"

Standing Guard.

A member of the Schuylkill regiment, in
camp near Washington, writes thus of tho
Incidents Of standing scntinol;
The manner in which the sentinel receives
the couutorsisn is as follows: He permits
person to come to distance of twelve or
fifteen PAGES OF his post, and then commands
him to "halt,' and asks, "vho comes thcre?"
The answer will generally he "a friend. -
The sentinel commands advance, friend,
aud give the countcrsign,' The person adj
vances, and leaning over the point of tho
Gayouct of the scntry's gun, gives the pass
word (thc guard must always receive it at
\ "charge bayonet) and proceeds on his
way. The guards are all numbered from !,
upward. Ii anything is wanted, or wrors,
tho seminal calls for the sergeant of tho
guard" mentioning his number, which is
passed from guard to guard until it reaches
No. |, where the sergeant Of the day is sta
toned, who Immediately repairs to the post
designated. During the night the orders
are more strict than in daytime. If any one
attempts to pass the guard without the
couutersigu, he calls for the sergeant, if tho
intruder, after being warned several times,
won't come down to dots, you draw trigger
on him, and of course Kill him if you can.
