LETTER FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
Fort Monroe, Nav Is. 1861.

We landed here Monday morning, but
have not gone into the fort. We are en-
camped between two walls of the Fort, and
under cover of the parapet guns. We made
a quick passage from New York. We left
there at P. NJ. Saturday, and anchored off
Cape Charles Sunday evening, and landed
Monday morning The Fort is impregnable,
and an attempt to take it would cost thou
sands of lives; but Gov. Letcher says he is
going to take it if it costs the lives Of 10000
men | don't see how he can take it. for
when the bOmbardment commences, we can
draw in four feet of water from the ocean,
which will prevent the shells from exploding.
There are two tiers of guns, one on the top,
which is called the para1et; the other is be-
low them, and arched over with stone and
brick, so the men are entirely protected from
the balls from the enemy. The guns are of
a very large size, 8 and 10 inch Columbiads.
The big gun. " Floyd is down at the land
ing, and outside of the walls it points North,
and is the largest gun ever cast
When we came here there were but 900
Massachusetts troops and 300 regulars Our
regiment increased the garrison to about
2,100, and since we landed 200 more troops
from Massachusetts, have landed, making
about 2,300 men. Before we left home
saw IL stated IN the papers there were Z-oOO
men here, so you see how much the papers
know about it. We are going to remove into
the Fort to morrow.
Col. Dimmick, chief u. 5. officer in com
mand here, says ours is the finest regiment
he ever saw. | think Vermont NAV feel
proud of her regiment, for it is said on all
hands, to be the finest body of men yet sent
into the field.
There will be hard fighting. We are not
very well fed. We don't get bread enough,
nor enough of anything. The Massachusetts,
troops have butter, cheese potatoes, apple
sauce, preserved meats, solidGed milk, &c,
sent to them We have to drink rain-water,
there being no wells here. The secessionists
have cut off our supplies Of fresh provisions
The inside OF the Fort is not so pleasant
as I expected, but then it will DO for three
months
We have a Post Office in the Fort, but
have to send off the mail only when oppor-
tunity occurs. There are some sick ones
here, but none in our company. James
COngdon Is in the hospital
There are several men-of-war in the bay.

ANECDOTE

A good anecdote is related of man, who
went by the name of Whispering john
which was given to him in ridicule. People
said he talked as though he were brought up
IN mill. One cold morning he walked into
a public house, and called out in his usual
laundering voice
Good morning, landlord, how are you p
Very well, how do you do ?"
80, I'm well, but I'm so cold can hardly
talk"
Just then nervous traveller who was
present, ran up to the landlord exclaiming

possible
why, what is the matter ?" asked the
landlord.

ENGLAND s. PosITIoN.-We copy from
statement of the Under-Secretary for foreign
Affairs, in answer to certain questions pro-
pounded by Lord Malmesbury:
Lord Wodehouse-I need scarcely assure
my noble friend, that the Government, in
common with him, and feel confident every
one of her Maiesty's subjects, have learned
with the deepes. regret the intelligence OF
the dissensons that have taken place in the
United States. We have also received with
the utmost concern the accounts to which my
noble friend has alluded, informing us that
those dissensions have brought that country
to the brink of civil war-if indeed civil war
may not be said TO have already broken out
within her territories and in answer to the
question, what steps have been taken by her
Maiesty's Ministers to avert this great calam-
ity-for a great calamity it undoubtedly must
prove TO be, not only to the Americans them
selves, but TO England, which is so closely
connected with them by the ties of kindred
/ have TO state, that after the mos. mature
deliberaton, the Government came to the
conclusion that il was not desirable that this
country should intrude her advice or counsel,
on the Government of the United States
(Hear, Hear)
However great the interest which we may
feel in the welfare of her people, and howev-
er anxious we might be to rescue them from
the misfortune which appears TO be impen-
ding over their heads, we yet thought that
a great and independent nation might not
welcome sdvite given with respect to her
internal affairs, if that advice were protfered
without being solicited. The instructions,
therefore, given to Lord Lyons were, that he
should, on every fitting occasion, express the
earnest desire entertained by her Majesty
Government, that the differences which pre-
vail between the Northern and Southern
States of America should be arranged. He
has not, however, been instructed TO give
either, "oficiously,'' or "officialy,' any coun-
sci or advice to the American Government,
unless such counsel or advice should be ask
ed for by the contending parties themselves
That is the answer have to give to the ques-
! ton of nv noble friend. 1t naturally follows
that her Majesty's Ministers have not been
in communication with any foreign Govern
ment as to any steps being taken OF the ma
ture of those to which he has alluded. (Hear,
Hear.)

A CASE FOR STEPHENS.

We are constantly being reminded by pro-
voking examples, Of the assumption Of ' Vice
President Stephens" that the quintessence,the
pink, the flower, the ripe, (aot rotea) fruit,
or whatever YOU will call it, oil civilization, is
to be found only in that region where African
servitude lies at the base OF the social fabric
He triumphantIy, and we thought, little
egotistically and arrogantly, pointed the world
to the " Confederate States of America" as
anording the best types Of social refinement,
the widest spread and most diffused intelIl-
gence, and the highest advancement in the
code of honor and morals, as also in the Chris
tan graces while he very austerely assigned
to the North the humble position OF the - poor
Publican" who stood in the market-place and
cried God be mercfuI to me, sinner y
All this made the speech of the " Vice Presi-
dent" OF the Imperial Republic sound very
pretty indeed. 1t was no doubt grateful and
charming to the highly cultivated Confed-

conscience and heart, and must have mate

Senator Johnson's style of caGyasslng in
Tennessee is thus described in the Washing
ton National Republican
"The style of Mr.. Johason's canvassing
may be Judged from the commencement of
his speech at Cleveland, Tenn, where threats
against him had been largely INDUCED in.
He told the crowd that he did not come here
to be shot, but to shoot = that if there was to
be fight, he and his friends were ready tor
it, and that he preferred finishing up ueyfght-
inq before making his speech. Nobody COM
ing forward to fight, the intrepid Senator
proceeded to speak, and by the time he had
finished. Observation-Disclosures of the audience
were with him. He told them among other
things, that JEFF Davis and the Governor of
the State ought to be hanged, and would be
hanged, at that not far distant period when zen
the judicial power of the Government could
be brought to bear upon them"
