Pickens. This fort is first class Fashioned fort
built of New York granite, and situated on low
ground on the point of Santa Rosa Island. Its
walls are fortyfive teet in height by Twelve feet

guns, which are placed under bomb proof case
mates, besides having one tier of guns en- barr
bette. The guns from this work radiate to eve
ry point of the horizon, with flank and emilia

ed for two tiers of guns, under bomb proof case
mates, and has one tier en- barbeue. Its arma-
ment consists of $50 men, and in time of war,
requires garrison of $50 men. The work on
it cost the Government about 100000. Its
guns radiate at every point of the horizon. 1t
is very effective work The full armament
of the fort is not complete but sufficient num-
Der of guns are in battery to make very good
defense with Fort Pickens. Below this fort, is
a water battery, which mounts some eight or
ten guns. The interior of Fort NJ Rea is pro-

which is auxiliary to Fort Barrancas. Some
extensive repairs have recently been compile
ted on this redoubt. and the fauking howitzers

very little labor,
A SECESSION VIEW OF AFFAIRS.
Since cur last issue, we have learned some

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION

Several bills have been introduced in refer
ence to the homestead exemption one or two
of which proposed to limit the value Of the prop
erty entitled to exemption. One of these bills
provides that the house holder owning forty
acres of land, shall not be entitled to more than
81 500 on said property; or, if in a city, the
value of only $4,000 shall be exempt. All such
limitations are impolitic and impracticable.
Doubtless there are many abuses under the
present law but the mischief and hardships that
would follow the limitation of the value of the
homestead exempted, would far outweigh the
wrongs now endured.
