TO imagine circumstances more completely un-

The REBEL DEFENcEs AT PoRT HUDSON.
The water defences of Port Hudson are said
to consist of eight batteries, numbering be-
tween twenty and thirty guns. One of these
batteries is stationed on bluff eighty feet
high. Another is planted Just below the
mouth of Thompson's Creek. The most of
the guns are ,24s, 32's aud 42s, but there are
one or two 120-pounders. The land defenses
were chiefly built after the advance of the
Federal forces to Baton Rouge. They mount
in all some thirty or forty guns, some of them
of heavy caliber, and in addition to these there
are at least four field batteries which can be
readily moved to any part of the works The
position seems to be entirely nclosed in a Sc
ries OF Qualifications of the most elaborate and
formidable character. but whether there are
any interior lines remains to be revealed. The
probability, however. is that the rebels would
scarcely rely on single line, and that the ex-
terror intrenchments include several others,
as was found to be the case at Vicksburg.

WHERE is FERNANDO DE NoRoNHA? The
just conduct of the Brazilian official, by the
commands of his government, in ordering
away the Alabama from Fernando de Nor
onha, has caused some to inquire the where
abouts of this place. Fernando de Noronha is
the principal island OF group belonging to
Brazil, and lies about 220 miles northeast of
Cape st. Rogue, in south latitude 3 deg. So
min. 1t is about twenty miles in circumfer-
ence, is used as Botany Bay by the Brazilian
Government, and is most picturesque object,
with its mountain peaks and varied liead-lands.
This Island has been repeatedly under the do
minion of Portugal, Holland and France. be-
fore Brazil achieved her independence. The
island has two harbors, but neither of them
safe during storm. 1t has for ages been oc-
cupled solely as place of exile and imprson-
ment. Seven forts were erected upon it in the
days of Portuguese wealth and power
A small garrison is always stationed there
to keep in subsection the malefactors. No wo-
man is allowed to visit the Island. and the
greater portion of the provisions come from
Pernambuco. II was to this place that the
leaders of the infamous rebellion which en-
deavored to cause Northern Brazil to recede
in 1885, were sent. The Alabama was here
in the norrowest part of the Atlantic, where
she could see almost every vessel which sailed
around the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn.
There are only about 1000 miles between Fer
nando de Noronha and the nearest point OF the
African shore, and every vessel coming from
the East Indies or California is compelled by
the course of the trade winds TO pass within
days sail of the Island n. y. journal of
