The members of the Seventh New York.
Regiment say, that while lying Off the harbor
they experienced great hardship and priya-
ton. All they ale for foriy -four hours was a
small slice OF raw pork, about half enough
for breakfast. The Massachusetts troops
had no provisions or water for the same
length OF time one of the latter was seen
che wing and sucking rib from the side OF
pork which had been previously thrown in a
corner. Their thirst for water was intense,
and several Of them drank the salt water
from the Chesapeake bay, which increased
their thirst TO such an extent that they drank
TOO freely, and are now lying in the hospital
insane from its effects. They have. however,
a sufticiency of provisions in the Academy.
