water level towards the lowest part. where
they frequently rise TO height Of fifteen or
eighteen feet. Besides these, there is 8
ditch that runs around in front of the bank.
which is usually eight feet deep, making at
the most exposed points an escalade of al
least twenty feet for a ssorming party
ascend.
There is, as usual, at each corner of the
fort, bastion, in each of which are placed
three large columbiads, intended to sweep
the breastworks at every angle, and as they
throw eight inch shell or shot, you may
judge what execution they will make if ever
they are called into use. AS regards the
smaller guns know very little, for but few
of them have arrived. and none of them
have been placed in position; but from the
number of carriages lying scattered about,
presume we shall have some twenty or
thirty 50 Founders, and these also work on
pivot and are capable Of being fired in
any given direction.
You would be astonished at the immense
quantities Of shot and shell already stored
away in our magazines, and the amount of
powder, grape and canister, cartridges, sc,
stored in the fort rises to high figure. 1t
is evident from all these signs that it is the
intention of the War Department to make
this one of the most complete Notifications
in the United States.

Ind1anian. at their old Tricks.

The Cincinnati Times has, from CORES
pendent who was present at the battle Of
Greenbrier, where Reynolds was whipped
by Jackson, an account Of that engagement.
It is in the inflated style Of all the Yankee
reports, having some truth with strong adj
mixture of falsehood. Says the correspon-
dent of the Times:
All the regiments received the order to
advance with cheers, the 18th and 10Th
throwing off their coats, and preparing for
q free use of the bayonet. The 9TH took the
lead and the rest followed brsvely. They
had proceeded but short distance, hOYeV-
er, before the rebels turned several of their
guns to the timber, and sent into it terri
Bile fire of shell and canister. THE 7TH IS-
DIANA BROKE AND RAN, THEIR OFFICERS KN-
DEAvoRIEG IN VAIN TO STOP THEM. Their
conduct caused some trepidation among the
other regiments, but, at the command, they
righted, and were about to advance, when
orders came from General Reynolds to with
draw. Though the trees seemed to rain
shot and shell, but few men were hurt I'M
der them.
These inglorious Indianians who s.broke
and RAM are the same fellows who made a
solemn VOW before they left the Hoosier
State, that the ssdisgrace of Buena Vista
should be wiped out" They have twiped
out" the disgrace beautifully, by wiping q
deeper stain across their State escuteheon.
These are the fellows, who ran at Buena
Vista, at Hatteras, and at Greenbrier, who
are going to conquer the South. Verify

THE FoRT on FEDERAL HUI, BALTIMORE.
"A Baltimore correspondent Of the New
York Times writes of the new Notifications
on Federal Hill
The fort occupies about two thirds of the
highest part of the hill, and the space in
side of the entertainments is nearly four
acres in extent, and the breastworks them
selves would be fully half mile long if they
we're stretched out in single line, thus
afording shelter for a large body of men, who
could keep up fearful fire of musketry in
perfect security, while the columbiads and
smaller siege guns stationed at regular dis
tances in the bastions, and along the cur
tain, are admirably situated for dealing out
death and destruction. How g6bly those
fearful words slip out.
The breastworks themselves are splendid
specimens of the engineering art, averaging
at least fifteen feet through at the base, and
gradually receding upward to about six feet

1t is also reported that Gen. Sumner, of

The Expected Hattie ON the Potomac

The Richmond papers still speak In conf
dence of q battle coon TO take place between
the main bodies of the two Great Armies on
the Potomac. Such battle must be terri
bic in its slain, and most critical in its con-
seauences But there is hardly, we presume,
o man in the Confederate Army, or the Con-
federate States, who will not gladly nerve
himself to know the certainty of such an
event. Even as a matter of life. the hazards
of battle with the enemy are preferable to
the disease and destruction which must
await the army in the unprepared aud des-
perate winter quarters, near Centerville and
Manassas. The Confederate troops have con-
quered in every battle which bias been fought
upon the Potomac, Whether their superb
ority consists in superior courage and enthu-
siasm, or superior use of arms, or in both
of these causes, the fact is unquestionable,
they are superior to the United States troops
in battle. General Beauregardis Report,
lust submitted, of the Battle of Manassas,
states that, at that battle, there were rs. 600
men in the Confederate Army. Our readers
will remember now the correct statements of
our published correspondence in this particu-
lar, and with what incredulity these low fig
ures were received shortly before the battle.
It was mistakenly beliesed we had, under
Gen. Beauregard. from 10000 to $4,000
troops. OF these 28, coo. there were but Z 900
insediafely engaged. What vast disparity
in numbers did our troops vanquish on that
eveutful day And what a fearful risk was
run by The previous rejection of twelve
months volunteersl Our escape seems pro-
vidential. The United States authorities ad.
NIT that they had ffty-six thousand men Ia
the field. Gen. Mcdowell, in bis official re-
port, states that $4,000 crossed Bull Run and
were engaged. The would make the proper
ton nearly three to one, besides an immense
body in reserve. General Evans, In his re-
cent gallant victory at Leesburg, where there
were three to one, only repeated the practice
of our daring and success. i
Will General Mcclellan, after the defeat
of his troops at Bethel Church, Bull Run,
Manassas, and, more recently, at Leesburg,
commit the consummate folly of attacking
the Grand Army of the Confederate States
on their chosen field, behind their entrench-
mentsf To rs, Il appears absurd to expect
it; and yet, it will not bs more absurd than
the whole war. The attempt to sabiugate
the South, is as stupendous a folly as to at
tack our army again at Bull Run. We ear
nestly hope that our enemies, like rattle
snakes in August, may be blinded by their
own venom.
We verify believe that. In one day, on q
fair field, our noble army can settle forever
the destinies OF the South, and make Us at
once great. Independent. and triumphant
people. q e
Whilst, therefore, we look with confidence
to future achievements of this army, If per.
mitted to fight, we cannot but. turn with re-
greet to its past inactivity. We are floating
along, relying on possibilities aarlsst0n

- As 80 the duration of the war, there is no
cling anything about it. Without some re-
n7arkable interpretation of Providence, it may
i,e continued throughout Lincoln's reign
From present appearances, there is no hope
Of peace. Both parties have taken their stand
from which nothing can move them. The
South has determined to obtain her indepen-
denee or die in the attempt, and the North is
as determined to maintain the Union. Of
course, the sword must determine the mat
ter.
From what we can learn of the sentiments
OF the North, there is no doubt, that desire
for peace is Increasing; and If the people had
the privilege of speaking their sentiments,
they would at once acknowledge the indepen.
dence of the South, and put a stop to this
cruel war; but their mouths are gagged and
their hands tied 90 that they cannot speak or
act, as they would wish to do, in behalf of
their country. It is well known that every
paper in the North that had the independence
to speak against the war has been suppressed,
justice crushed, government destroyed, and
most awful despotism established. There
| is no hope of peace, then, from this quarter,
unless the people, in their majesty, should
see proper to break their shackles, assume
their rights under the Constitution, and put
down the tyrant. This may be done, though
it is highly improbable. Or it may be that
| other nations may sicken at the cruelties per-
| petrated in this war, and propose to mediate.
Or kind Providence may interpose in some
way that we have not yet thought of. But,
from present appearances, the most probable
way by which an honorable peace can be
brought about, is by forcing the North to
acknowledge our independence, and this
| think they will do after few more Bull Run
races, and plunges in the Potomac.
To talk of Union. at this day, is extreme
| folly. The North aud the South can no more
| live together In peace AID harmony. than a
wolf and lamb. The most bitter feelings
have been engendered, and the longer hos
tiiities are continued. the worse it will be-
/ A separation of the Union has now become
not only desirable, but absolutely necessary
under the circumstances. Let every one then,
who wishes to enjoy the rights and privileges
OF freeman, prepare for resistance. The
times call for action, and we must act, OF
suffer ourselves to be trampled upon by an
insulting foe ]. r. B.
