inow stationed at Hampton Creek.
Val. writes to a friend in New York
a doleful account Of the sufferings Of
the men Of that regiment. The fol-
lowing is an extract from his letter ::
The srca. trouble here is that
when a man feels weak through
sickness it is very hard to get strong

night a friend of mine went down to
the fort and bought beefs,eak
which he gave me. This seemed to
do me more good than all the medi-
cines l have. taken during the last
three weeks l wish the Quarter
master would give rs our thirty cents
per day. and let us get our own pro-
visions. / think we could make i,
then very comfortable. As it is now,
great many of the men must die
before long for the want OF decent
food. Ihave lost eighteen pounds
, since I have been here. weigh
now only one hundred and twenty

on the sick list at all, have lost as
much, even more, through mere wan'

Immense Fort at Sandy Hook
The following is the description of
an immense fortification now in pro-
cess of construction Mt Sandy Hook.
for the defense Of New York harbor:
The walls will cover an oblong
area of about one mile in length. 1t
will have FIVE bastions, the length of
each of which will be in accordance
with the extent of its particular com
mand of some point on the Atlantic.
AT present, the north eastern bastion
is nearly ready for mounting guns,
and the eastern and northern curtains
which protect it are sufficiently ele-
waited to lay the embrasure stones.-
Two are nearly ready for the guns,
The stones in front of the fort are
from six to eight tons Weight, and
were brought from quarries in Quin-
cy, Mass, and Maine. The tiers of
guns will have strong and spacious
casemates. The foundation, which
is laid in concrete, was made seven
feet from the surface, and the breadth
of the walls at the base is IA feet
and on the top 10 feet. The case
mates are indented about SO feet from
the outer walls, and commanding al
the points surrounding the ocean
The fort will be protected by deer
trenches at its outer points.

Col. DeNussy, Late OF the ID keg'
msnt Of Louisiana Volunteers, arrived
in this place on Sunday evening, direct
from Yorktown. He reportsour troops
in good condition and ready to meet
-thSenemy. The sickness had abated,
and but few were laid up in the hospi-
tai. Col. DeRussy has resigned his
position as Colonel Of the I'd Regi:
ment. having been appointed upon
the staff of Gen. Polk, and he win
be hereafter stationed At Memphis.
Rumor assigns the Office vacated by
Col. DeRussy to St. John Lidden, of
the parish Of Catahoula. Col. Liddel1
is graduate of West Point, and is,no
doubt, by hiswell known decision and
firmness of character, well fitted for
the responsible position.
Col DeRussy Expresses the opinion
that in the event Of the continuance
Of the war, important operations may
be expected upon the line of defence
in the peninsula. 1t is evident that
Fortress Monroe must form base line
of movements of the enemy upon Rich
mond, and that having concentrated
at and near the Fortress sufficient
number Of troops to form an invading
column, their advance towards Rich
mond must be made right through
Yorktown.
/ An examination of the map will
show at a glance the impor:antance
Of our defences at that place. At
Yorktown, the distance between York
and James rivers is about SIX miles,
and the most Of that space is rendered
impossible to the columns Of large
force by the nature Of the ground, be-
ing cutup into ravines, and filed with
morasses.
The route must, therefore, be by the
way Of Yorktown, and even if the ene-
nv should select another route, it is
hardly to be presumed that they would
leave such an entrenchment camp in
their rear to embarrass their future
advance or cut off their safe retreat.
We see by late number of the
New York Tribune, that the same
view is taken by our enemies Of the
Importance of this position. That
notorious abolition sheet points out
the y eninsula as the true field of ag-
gressive operations, and advocates
the necessity Of accommodating anover-
whclnirg force at Fortress Monroe,
from which point an advancing col
umn, resistless by it's numbers and
material. may pass along through the
neck Of the peninsula, sustained by
! its ships Of war in both rivers, sweep
away our forces at Yorktown, and
rush in serried ranks upon the city OF
Richmor
! We may not despise the suggestions
Of an enemy and the plan is one no,
to be overlooked. A force sufhcient
to repelany attack should be entrench'
ed at Yorktown, and that point, if nee
cssary, become the Thernopyla Of the
south. Monroe 1ntelligencer.

which accompanied the expedition
aroused the drowsy population by

Col. Tyler took possession of the
place, and Capt'List went down and
demanded the money in the name of
the State Of Virginia. No resistance
was made. and the money was forked
over. Some OF the bank men thought
the amount ought TO have been ia
