FORT PULASKI.

Fort Pulaski guards the approaches TO
Savannah, and is one Of the most important
fortifcatious erected on the southern coast.
Ii is built on C0ckspur Island, at the mouth
Of the Savannah river, and distant about
fourteen miles from the city. In 1881 the
construction Of the fort WAS commenced under
the superintendence OF Captain. now General
Mansfield, commanding at Newport News at
the present time. The work was completed
a few wears ago at cost OF nearly million
dollars The fort is OF pentagOnal form, and
covers several acres. Toe walls are about
forty feet high, and present two falls toward
the sea, with ranges Of fire ratiating at oI-
posite angles. The fort has embrasures on
the front aud channel side for one rOT Of
guns under bomb proof classmates, with an
additional tier Of guns eH jGrb.ue. The full
armament Of the fort was u consist. on the
lower tier. of sixty-fve 32-pounders, and
the upper tier OF fity-three 24-p0unders.
four IS-pOun1er f4nking howitzsrs, one l3-
inch mortar, twelve s-Inch columbiads, and
seven lO-inch mortars--altogether $50 guns.
The interior OF the fort was well supplied
with large furnaces for heating shot, quart
ers, barracks, ammunition, &c. 4 wide
ditch surrounds the work, which, when dry,
can be used by sharpshoOters with as much
effect as rife pits. or could il necessary be
easily flooded Beyond the ditch IS a giacis,
which is enfladed by the guns from the low
er or casCmate TOw Of the i0rtfcatiOns. The
fort can easily accumulate eight hundred
men, although one half Of that number

INTERESTING TO FRUIT-GROW-
FRS.

Messrs. Editors Of the Fee P|sss.-
wish to call the attention Of those persons
who are about purchasing trees, to the following
facts:
lst. That a very large part Of the apple trees
which have been sold here, from Southern nurse
ries, have diod in one, two, or three years.
%. That there are two kinds Of trees brought
to US. Those budded near the ground, and those
grated on the root, (root-grafted).
Now if you will split down some of each kind
from an inch above to an inch or two below the
graft or bud, you will find that the centre of the
grated trees diseased or dead, while that
Of the budded are perfectly sound and healthy.
wish to sugge t, whether this diseased centre
in the rootgrAits does not extend up and down and
cause the death Of the tree in two or three years.
am not aware that any other than root gratis
arc sent to Us from the Southern nurseries.

battle has now come down to the one propo-
siton Did we defeat the enemy y
view Of all the circumstances shows the fol-
lowing
LIST, That the enemy chose their own time
and place OF attack.
ID, That they attempted a surprise, and
carried it out at the beginning, by coming
most unexpectedly upon our forces while
many of them were preparing their break
fasts.
Sd. That their troops outnumbered ours
considerably.
The result was, that after IS hours Of Sc
we're fighting. they were forced to retire to
their old quarters, having in killed anG
wounded nearly double the number of men
lost on our side. We are of opinion that 1t
was at least such defeat as Will forbid their

ITEMs OF The PITTSBURGH FIGHT.-The
Iowa Fifteenth arrived at Pittsburgh Landing
on the day before the battle, lO45 strong.
They fought bravely, and after the battle
only 407 answered to their names.
4 tragic incident of the day was when a
portion Of flying Ohio regiment took their
way directly across the range oil a federal
battery The enemy were pressing upon the
artiIlerymen whose supporting infantry were
thus in fight. The officer in charge OF the
guns saw the dread necessity, and was equal
to it, and four OF our flying soldiers were ac-
tually blown in pieces almost from the mouth
Of our own guns.
Nearly ali of the 5Sth Illinois and the Sth,
18th and l4th Iowa were surrounded and
taken prisoners, while fighting bravely. All
of the Wisconsin regiments performed their
whole duty worthily. The 57th Illinois,
lost in all, l69 in killed and wounded.
A son Of Henry Clay fought bravely on
the federal side in the battle of Pittsburgh
Landing.
1t is positively stated that the rebels had a
negro cavalry regiment in tine field at Pitts
burgh.

FORT PnLow.-It is situated on the well
known Chickasaw bluffs, which gradually
rise from low bank to u shelving bluff q
hundred and fifty feet in height. The posi-
tion is not unlike that Of Columbus on the
land side, with the exception that the bluffs
are not 50 steep, and the river makes more
decided curve under the bluffs.
1t may be considered properly as a strong
position, not, however, very much stronger
or much weaker than Columbus and Island
No. TO- 1t Is vastly stronger from the land
approaches, great care having been taken u
guard against a land attack.
The Notifications consist, first. Of a line
Of water batteries, extending, as at Island
No. 10, around the sh0g9 ut the bend Tor a
mile and a half. these are mounted by
about forty heavy guns, only one Of whicn
is a ten inch, similar to the Lady POlk-ths
rest being rided sixtv-fours aud thrty-twos.
The upper battery was at list accounts un-
der water.
On the land, they have constructed line
of breastworks made To run as az Donelson,
50 as to occupy the ridge Of series OF hills
They have teld and siege pieces at the most
| salient points, amounting 10 about thirty IN
all. Their camps are situated IN the hOllOws
| in the rear OF the batteries. Capacious mag
azines have been dug in the sides OF the hills.
WHICH are slowed full Of ammunition. Tue
engineers who have constructed th SO works,
| hat,er themselves they are tne best and
strongest ever built IN the time.
I The Hatchie river falls into the Mississsp-
| pi nine miles below the fort, between which
lie long line of high bluffs. The current
Of the river sets strongly in to the shore bat
tetles, and the moment boat comes within
range of one battery all the rest can play up
on her. Il will be in the power oil our YES
GELS to fight broadsido on. Another fayora-
ble feature is found in the nature of The
ground. The bluff is gravelly, and the sides
Of the hill 50 slanting that the mortars can
land their shells into the water batterie'
with the greatest ease.

with abandoned wagons, ambulances ana

The act entitled "An act f0r the re-
lease Of certain persons held to service or labor in

proved and signed. have never doubted toe
constitutional authority of Congress TO abolish

and about this act which might have taken a
course or shape more satisfactory to my Judgment,
do not attempt to specify them. am gratlhei

plied in the act. In the matter of compensation
Il is provided that claims may be presented within
90 DAYS from the passage Of the act, but not
