A Dreary Place.


Fort Pickens mnsi be q shocking place to
live in, if the following letter to the N. Y.
Tribune speaks kseOrreetly: ~
FoaT PIckEzs, Florida, June IA, 1851
There is no doubt about it-Fort Pic1ens

filed with sand. Take an evening promen-
ade on the ramparts, or walk ten rods on the
beach. and your boots and your Stockings
even unto your toe-nails, are all filled with
sand. You cannot escape from this into the
water for a ten-minutes sea bath without the
risk Of being devoured by sharks. If 1t is

of capturing the brig East, of N. Y. -

A gentleman just arrived here from New

fore leaving, and at points along the route,
that the rebel Government had abandoned
the idea Of taking Fort Pickens, and had
withdrawn 8 considerable portion of the
force stationed there. and dispatched them

He says further that some spprehensions
were entertained at New Orleans Of the
landing Of a large force Of Union troops in
the vicinity of that city. Accordingly prep
arations we're being made by erecting prop
or means of defence. The information he

tlemsn who had arrived from W ashington,

Scott. --II14A -.

We are glad to sec such an evident feel

Blair for the spoakership. If any man
who will take his seat IN Congress is en-
titled to honor for his services in behalf Of
his country, surely Mr.. Blair is. BE has
saved Missouri from rebellion, ruin and the
Southern COnfsderacy. The Missouri DEM
ocrat says that in Frank Blairs Office, one
night last winter, the plan was unfolded
for crushing out the rebels in that Stale,
and the bold and brilliant course Of Gen.
Iyon has been in accordance with the plan
then developed. If TO Gen. Lyon be award
ed the military glory Of the Missouri cam
paign, to Frank Blair must be given the
credit Of forming the general plau under
which rebellion has been 50 efectualy
crushed. And when the city Of St Louis
} was under the power of the secession

and direction Of Frank Blair that the nu

spsct Of the Union men Of Missouri to-day
as he. And We are happy to say, no mar
with the exception Of Gen. Lyon, is NOR
heartily feared BY the rebels, including th

ThOughts on Praysr and tho union.

Thoughts on Prayer and the Union.
Prayer is petition to The authorities
whose p~rercga,iyo it is to confer the re-
quested favor. When we petition the Leg
~islature for the passing Of a certain act,
or the repeating of a certain law, we find
It necessary to specify in our petition just
what we want 1t is also necessary to get
up our Retitions according to law, SO that
we ask nothing but what is reasonable and
in the power OF our Legislature to give,ac-
oOrding to the lave that be, it is also nee
essary to have reputable signers to our Pc
tition. The Christians petition is to the
Legislature Of Heaven, to a throne Of
grace made accessible through the blood Of
Christ; not for the passage Of new laws,
neither Eclesiastic or National, but to en-
force the laws that Christ died to estab-
lish. and the laws for which our forefatkerS
bled. The laws of Christ were anciently
and are still disregarded by rebels, and
our national laws aud constitution are now
d~isregarded by rebels. There was a trait.
or in the days Of Christ; there are traitors
now, all of whom will be hung, if not by
the Government, they, like Judas, will
hang themselves. We need not petition
to our national legislature in regard to the
present conflict, they arc doing all that
men can do. Let US send our petition to
the legislature Of Heaven; let US have our
petition signed by all good and holy men.
Let us not ask too many favors at the
same time, but let US continue to ask for
the things most needed, peace to the troub-
led soul, and that peace which will make
our Union whole. Sometimes we petition
the Governor Of the State to reprieve GER
tain prisoners; let us petition the Govern.
or of Heaven and Earth, not for the re-
prieving Of the guilty felon in our prisons,
but that the innocent captive may go free
and enjoy the blessings designed for every
man by the Lord.
We are now rallying to put down Sc
cession, and if putting down one evil puts
another which is, and ever has been a
curse to our nation, Amen! Ie brave
fearless sons of the North and Union stand
fast, acquit yourselves like men; stand in
defense Of your country and the Union.
Ye brave patriots of the North, you
have nothing to fear; everything is in your
favor, the law is on your side, Justice,
Liberty, the Union, and God, are always
on the side of truth; and if the Lord is on
our side, Victory is ours.
To the Daughters of the North, and Of
The UniOn-let not your natural atFec
tiOns lead you to prevent Husband Son,
or Brother from going at his Country's
call, and defending his COuntry's honor.
But let the daughters of the North volun-
teer their service as nurses to take care Of
the wounded.
