These defenses are now nearly completed.
The intrenchment back Of Fort Walker is de-
scribed as asplendid work, capable ofprotecting
the fort and the quarters Of the Federal forces
against very great odds. One thousand men in
the fort and along the line of the works, together
with such assistance as could be rendered by a
few gunboats, could defend our position against
any force the rebels are able to bring against it.
As the force at Hilton Head Independent Of that
at Beaufort and Tybee Island) is about twelve
thousand men, at least ten thousand men could
be spared from Hilton Head a force which.
with Gen. Stevens brigade at Beaufort. would
be sufficiently formidable to accomplish the re-
duction of either Savannah or Charleston, or
(what is more likely to be doue) defeat the con
siderable force Ofrebels assembled at Coosawhat-

THE OCCUPATION OF BEAUFORT.

Although large quantities OF provisions have
been landed at Beaufort from the transports.
much more, indeed, than Gen. Stevens brigade
Of four thousand men, would be likely to need
for a long time to come-no Notifications have
been erected near the town. The soldiers are
regularly encamped, occupying only their tents.
The officers are quartered in the houses of the
town. There is no evidence that Beaufort is to
be defended by our forces as a permanent posi-
ton. The indications are that some point nearer
Charleston will be chosen
On the 9th uIt-, an order was issued by Gen.
Stevens, directing that the town aud all the prop
erty within its limits be protected by military
force, and torbidding the passage of any person
through the lines unless provided with a pass
from the general or the officer Of the day. The
destruction of property in the town has entirely
ceased.

In one OF these the Sth Maine regiment. early
last week, captured six rebel pickets, from
whom, however, little information in regard to
the rebel force between that point and Charles

Beaufort and placed under confinement.

-STOREKEEPER.
It is not generally known that at this time
business is carried on in the town of Beaufort bv
one OF the original Inhabitants. lie owns what
is known as a country store where dry
goods, croekery, groceries end boots and shoes
ere sold. This Beaufort dealer is by birth an
eastern man, but has lived in the South more
than twenty years, and he has managed to keep
up a small stock of shoes, Tor which he now
rinds a ready market at good prices.
The story OF the manner in which he retained
his store, and after leaving Beaufort, came back
TO protect bis stock and dispose Of it, ike a true
Yankee, is somewhat interesting. He is an old
man, but when the Federal forces appeared of
Hilton Head, the Secessionists undertook 10 com
pei him, and also 2 Chinaman, 20 join the rebel
iolces. The two, however, escaped in the night.
and took to the woods. The Secessionists' of
course, had no time to pursue, After the precipi-
tate fight Of the ehiyaify, the storekeeper re-
turned to Beaufort.
lie has made some arrangement with the
qu%arteTmaster's department Of our forces, by
which he is supplied with goods that can be dis
posed Of to the volunteers and though he ad-
mits that " lie cannot recommend " some Of the
goods in his possession, especially those which
were for a time left under the control of the ne
groes, he has in some way managed to get to-
gether a large stock-mUch greater, it is said,
than his ORIGINAL one.

says " Johnston and Buckner's forces have torn
up the Louisville and Nashville railroad for three
quarters of a mile, about four or FIVE miles
beyond Green river, piled up the ties, laid the
rails upon them, and set fire to the whole mass.
They repeated the same operation at different

besides telling as many trees as possible across
the track, and were engaged in blowing up a
tunnel three hundred feet long near the Junction.
