hasten to take advantage Of the departure Of the
u 8. transport steamer Illinois, which leaves ne In
few hours TO transmit line in relation to some OF
our movements since my missive Of the 2lst ult.
Since that period we have been busted excessively
in assisting the unloading of this stesmershe, with the
aid of the feet now stationed here having safely trans
ferred to the fort every article intended for T. has
been my privilege to visit Fort Pickens snce the re-
endorsements were thrown into it, and consequence
could give you many gratifying facts, were it not that
am not at liberty to reveal anything or heard.
However this does not compel me to withhold gem
eral remark that may be of interest to hundreds and
that is, from what have seen, / am confident that
Thu, fort is capable Of suecesy resisting an attack
from the combined forces Of tie South. II cannot Je
taken.
By the arrival Of the United States steamer Mohawk,
from Key West we have received the New-York
papers of the 18th u containing meagre account of
the bomtardment of Fort Sumter. As you imagine, it
causes the greatest sensation throughout the entire
feet and many have shed tears because Of the deplor-
able condition the handful of brave men that gar
risoned it were in The blood of every Union-lovng
man in the feet boiled with indignation when they
glorious ensign had ceased to float over Sumter ct the
bidding of a few thousand murderous villains.
Yet there Is one glorious thought that Is very
pleasant in the midst of this sorowful news that be-
ing, that if these Southern rebels imagine that Fort
Pickens which they expect to attack, will be as
easily reduced as Sumter was, they viii commit the
one great error of their lives. When the time does
arrve-snd the sooner the better for usMessrs Davis
and Bragg, these would-be pirates, will be taught
a lesson they will remember to the last mo-
ment of their existence. The motto Of all
on board our vessel s "Death to traitors and rebels,"
and this sentiment very general thing extends to
all the other vessels with 1t Is our one great
re.ove to stand by the Administration the Constitu.
tion and the Union, and TO carry the beauteous old
ensign that floats at peak through fire and storm
to plant 1t again upon all the property Of the Federal
Government now held by these traitors. We look for
ward with pleasure the day when President Lincoln,
in compliance with bis views in his late Proclamation,
will give us the order to reake all Government prop
erty" now held by these rebels we then will be able
to let loose our and 1O-inch "Dahlgens" and rain
SHE'LL grape, and canister upon them in such manner
that it will convince them that We neither heed nor
fear their many threats seriously frightened
at the twenty l0nch coumbads they profess " have
erected along the beach at Pensacola.
All communication from the shore 10 rs has been
peremptory forbidden by Gen. Braxton Bragg, and
SO successfully has order been enforced by his horde
of rufans that it has been impossible to obtain the
least intelligence of any moment.
The news from the great North is soulstirIing; It is
glorious 1t tells us Of it's gigantic and auent country
being aroused to such an extent by M great love for
our Constitution and our starry ensign that we have
cried with joy. We have heard Of an enthusiasm that
fills every heart and urges them to the defense of
our Union; we have heard Of an awakening Of a mill
tary spirit heretofore unprecedented in the annals Of
history; we have heard that the cannon which bonn
barded Fort Sumter awoke strange echoes, and
touched forgotten chords in the American heart; we
have heard that tender women leaving their quiet
and luxurious homes TO the loyal hearts that be-
come wounded in this contests and we have heard too
hat the Stars and Strpes-that gttering emblem Of
our countrys glory-meets the eye at every turn,
floating from every window, from every housetop, !
rom every church-spire, from every hillside and
nountainop and, it kisses the breeze 1t is met by
,hoa.s Of devotion and pledges Of aid, which gladden.
