intendence and direction of Major Wainwright, and
with the exception Of protecting the inner edge Of
the gallery by iron ratings this fort is completed
Il is garrsoned by quite strong force Of volunteers
who daily practice with the large guns. In tue
center of the curtain is portcullis and drawbrdge
which is protected by small guns in the bastion at
each end
The work on Fort Tompkins, on the top Of the
hill, designed to protect the land side is in fair
state Of progression, giving employment to several
hundred stone-cutters, masons, and laborers. This
fort will also be heavily mounted. 1t is surrounded
by deep dry ditch, over which the walls are pierced
for muskets. Beside theee fortifcatons there are
two powerful batteries--B Battery Hudson and Bat
terry Morton-one of which is located near the light
house. After fullykeyamining this work, the party
was received and entertained by Col. Samuel Gra'
ham, Major Urban, Adutant James Farrell, Chap
lain Barnes, Capt Emmons and Capt. McGrath OF
the 5th Artillery, New-York Volunteers.
Visit was next made to Fort Hamilton, where the
Governor aud party were received by Major Burke
and detachment of regulars and battalion Of the
5th Artillery n. Y. V. The Governor was honored
with the salute due bis rank, and in company with
his staff received the troops, the band playing mean
time the Star Spangled Banner. This fort was found
to be in excellent condition, and garIisoned by men
enough to serve all of the guns On the inland side
a platform was being constructed for barbette guns
Upon embarking at this point the band accompa
pied the party to the wharf, performing Hail Co
umbia and other patriotic sirs and the Toten steamed
away up the bay, and concluding with "'Way down
South in Dixie, for the benefit of the Seceshers IN
Hotel de Lafayette located on the opposite side OF the
channel.
As the day was fast waning the party proceeded
bomeward, arriving at Castle Garden wharf at
o'clock. 1t was designed to visit Castle William
and Fort Columbus, but time did not permit.

Military Dnndies.

A growing feature in our society, especially in
that remarkable portion of it living in the Rich
mond hotels or hanging around them, is the mum
ber of dainty young gentlemen, who make such an
immense show Of red pants, artillery caps, gold
lace, ETC., to the admiration Of the females Of said
hotels and the negro walters Many of these ss0ns
their military trim the more likely are they to be
discovered as gamblers, Guartermasters' clerks,
tailors ships Of members of the Legislature. Their
impudenceis is of course sublime. They swagger ID
the hotel parors stretch their boots on the SOFAS
and never take their meals at the ladies ordinary
without their coats being buttoned up to their
throats and general stiffness in their backs as if
they were on dress parade.
There are some curiosities about these military
dandies. Sudden transformations Of dress are the
coup de main of the dandy; and it has not unfre-
quently happened that some of the distinyue
boarders at the hotel appear in strict civilians
dress during their unmiiitary occupations of the
day, and at nightfall attire themselves in the very
tip of soldierly apparel, not forgetting buckskn
gauntlets, to do the military in the hotel parors or
to enact "the front of Mars'' in the vestbuIes of
the bar-room. 515.s -E1 Il" g~rS& ~ ~5s5 teSf*
Really cannot General Wioder take some meas-y
nres against this military impostpre and yagabond
ism. 1t is contemplate enough in some Of its as
poets, but sometimes succeeds in serious impos-
lures upon some classes of onr,people, which mis-
take military uniform for passport to society in
Richmond. Orderlies and sergeants have more
than once, we believe been passed off in this city
on susceptible young females as staff officers and
mpostefs nave SAL al Inc pest tables IN ttchmond
in the grandeur Of gold lace and palmetto buttons.
Every man who assumes a military dress he has no
right TO wear should be severely punished by the
1nspector-General, and treated with the merciless
ridicule of the public. gam ~ ~" p
To limited extent the above remarks, from the
Richmond Examiner, will apply in this city. We
rejoice, however, that the disease is onlysporadic,
as We beliye the military spirit Of people is in
the inverse ratio to their display of gold lace and
brass buttons. Fuss and feathers won't do to rely
