THE YANKEE ARMY NOT 50 HEALTHY ~ THEIR
Few PosITIoH.
The Fortress Monroe correspondent Of the
New York "lIerald," writes:
From the James river there seems 10 be it
tie news ofinterest The defensive works are
about completed which will protect the Army
Of the Potomac from any efforts Of the rebels
10 drive it from its position. Still, while the
army is safe, it is in not so healthy state as
one could wish. II has brought with it the
seeds of disease from the lnalarious Swampa
or the Chickahominy, and in spite oi the m
creased healthfulness Of the new position, ITS
pure air and dry land, the army Is suffering
considerably from disease. am happy 10
say, however, that the health of the troops
has been greatly benefited by the change OF
location, and think that it will continue TO I'M
prove, now that the trenching is about coEi-
1pleted and a time Of rest has arrived.
TIE "EEpEL;' BATTERIES Or TIE ja.IEs
The James ri~er tlotiila, under Commodore
Wilkes, is in a constant state Of actiTity: in
conveying transports up and down the river
and Smelling out rebels from rifle pits and in
ciuient batteries along the river banks. For
several DAVIS past there has been but little firing
nm our vessels navigating the river; but new
ertheless the gunboats shell suspected points,
and protect in other ways the vessels passing.
Still, no one is deceived BY this silence OF re-
bel gums and rebel rifles. 10 one believes
that thew have relinauished the idea oI OH
structing the river by batteries, and every one
here on the river is prepared to hear any day
that that he s,t or number of heavy batteries
have sprang up amid the woods OR the river
banks. 70 occasion US good deal of trouble,
if not loss, before they can be shelled out by
the eunboats. The naval officers are very
confident of their ability to keep the river
