The Yankees seem to be quite busy With
their preparationsfor a lengthy stay CD Fol-
ly Island. They have cleared Que sll the.
brush and bushes under the tall pinesy
which extend nearly to the North end Of,
Big Folly, and have pitched their tents
underneath its shades. Large fires are to
be seen daily, showing that they aresexs
tending their clearing operations towards
the Northern end Of the inlet. Immedi-
ately in front of their camp, they have
thrown up sand Notifications as q protec.
ton against any attack upon them, and ia
front Of these again appears to be . heavy
abattis. From the midst of the pines arises
tall observatory, recently erected, similar
to the one at Secessionville, but somewhat
higher, overtopping the talleat pines, and
giving from its summit an extended view.
Their piokets ara still stationed az Little
Folly, separated from ours, on the Southern
end Of Morris Island, by the inlet, across
which frequent conversations have been
held. They have also a fat 10 the creek
back of Folly Island, with tent pitched
upon it, used doubtless at night BY an out.
lying picket. Theyseen to be onsthe alert,
and use every precaution by dayaDd night.
