The FortIheations on the Michigan frontier:


The New York Post, in long article on
our frontier defenses, makes the following
mention Of the works in this State:
The first Of the line Of important works
which would form the bass OF operations on
the North are the barracks at the Saut Stel
Marie. where eight or ten guns can DO mount.
ed. No troops have been stationed there for
some time; tn, garrison at present consisting
Of the widow Of an officer who receives thir
ty-five dollars q mouth for the care of the
work.
At Mackiuaw, the next position on this line,
there are works which mount ten guns, com.
msnding the straits Of Mackinaw, connecting
Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The i'm
portsnce Of this position, in the event Of ex-
tensive naval operations on the upper lakes,
and from the natural facilities afforded by the
locality Of the establishment Of almost i'm
works. cannot be over-estimated.
Fon st. Clair, near the mouth Of the st.
Clair river, which connects Lake Huron with
Lake st Clair, forms link in this chain Of
defenses. 1t is situated about thirty five
miles above Detroit, and commands the COM
munication between Lake Huron and Lake
Erie. No troops have occupied it for some
time past, but it can easily be placed in de.
fensble condition.
The works at Detroit, in addition to their
importance in the chain Of frontier defsnces,
have an additional consequence in defending
populous and wealthy city, situated at a
point the most exposed to direct attack, on
the entire line.
Fort Wayne, at this point, is in condition
quarters aud barracks are still unfinished
The fort has been the object Of several appro
,riations by Congress. but is still in need Of a
considerable amount TO fit il for receiving a
garrison. 1t has been in charge Of fort keep.

bis main body at a convenient distance, Gen.
Stevens dispatched one Of his aids with an es-
cort to the landing place. TIE river here

my had the ferry boat on his side, and there
was no means Of crossing had be been SO in

left strong force at the ferry to prevent fur
ther incursious Of the enemy, and has since
established q permanent post at that point
