nights they lay out in the woods without
shelter or food. Two.of the men represent
themselves as natives Of Virginia, and

Sketch of Fort De Russey.

The fcrt that has been captured by Gen,
A. j. Smith is situated at Gordon's Land
ing, about seventy miles above the mouth
of the Red river. The work consisted of a
water battery and Fashioned fort COM
handing it. At the beginning of 1863 TIE
water battery consisted of four heavy guns
Three Of these guns were mounted III pc
culiar way, each gun being placed inside Of
a separate mound. The fourth gun was en-
barbette. The whole were situated close &c
the waters edge. and at bend which gave
them a sweep of half mile either way uI
or down the river.
The Fashioned fort was erected on the RI
sing ground, about quarter ola mile iii
the rear of the water battery, and vas al
that time intended u resist q land attack
as we'll as TO cover the water deerceS. The
armament If this upper work consisted OF
ordinary field pieces, so placed as to enable
the garrison 10 operate with them either
upon troops advancing from the shore or by
a flank movement
1t may be remembered that in Janu,ry
1863, the Queen of the West having beer
grounded within ranee OF this fort, il bad u

that time was able To send a complete show

and all others attempting to pass up the
river. Since that time two thirty iwo
pOunders ParIottc taken from the Queen oi
the West; one eleven inch gun captured
with the indianoia, and two long thirty
two Founders taken at Galveston from on
board the Harriet Lane, have been mount
ed on the works. With such an armament
it would have been impossible fer Admiral

TRENroN. March "a, 1861.

.aa TRENTON, March "a, 1864.
The Governor this morning sent To the
Legislature message relative to bill, now
before Congress, authorizing the Raritan
Bay Railroad and other railroads to trans
port freight and passengers across the State,
ANYTHING in the laws of the State TO the
contrary Notwithstanding.
Resolutions were referred to committee
of both houses, who made unanimous re:
port protesting against the passage OF the
bill, because it proposed to divest the State
OF its local Jurisdiction within its own linz
it's; the unprecedented exel else Of power
never before claimed by the United States
to empower these corporations to extend
branch railroads anywhere within the State
in defiance of the rights of the State; to
empower corporations created by the State
to do what the State never gave them au-
thority to do; to violate the laws OF New
Jersey with impunity, and to defy the pro-,
cess of her courts, because, under speclai
legislation, would be q wanton insult t.
the dignity of the State, and violation OF
contracts, which the courts have pronounc-
ed 10 be binding.
Copies of tho resolutions were directed
to be forwarded to the members of Con,
sress and Senators from New Jersey, and
they are requested to use all exertlons in
their power to prevent the passage of a
bill in urious to the rights of the State and
offensive to her citizens.
Mr. Buckley, the Republican Senator
from Passaic, stated that, while he would
sternly oppose any extension Of existing
privileges, be protested against the present
proposed action of Congress, as direct
interference with the courts, and as vio>
lation of the dignity and sovereignty of the
State

From Fort Garry.

The St. Cloud Democrat of Thursday
contains the following:
We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday
with Mr.. j. +. Sheal, merchant from Red
River Settlement, and from him learned some
particulars that may be of interest to our read
ers.
The crops in that section are total failure
the grasshOppers having destroyed everything,
and to add to this misfortune the hunters had
returned bringing nothing in the way of pro-
visions, (dried meat and pemmican) and when
habltants are entirely dependent upon their
success in their summer hunt, the state of af-
fairs is easier imagined than described.
A large party of Sioux, in all about 355 lodg-
es, had arrived at the settlement This party
consists of Standing BuffalO's band and Little
SKIS band. Little SKIS son was with them.
There were some of the Indians in the battle
with sully: They report having received
good whipping. They say they fought six
hours and found out Sully was too much for
them, so they skedaddled. They deny that
Sully was in the fight, but give the mans
name as O'Conner, and that he had 200 Black
feet with him. They do not say how many they
lost in the fight. They have come to Red Riv-
er for protection and supplies, but that is near
" played out with the Red River people,
When we take into consideration the fact that
they are short themselves, it is not at all likely
they will give great deal to these hounds.
Standing Buffalo still sings "peace" as usual,
but fails to carry it out, and we hope if ever he
is caught that he will get "piece (of rope.)
Gov. McTavish, of the Hudson Bay Compa-
ny, when he heard they were coming, sent
word to them not to come, as he had rather
see the devil, and the probability is they will
be treated in accordance with his opinion of
them. II we can only keep them on the move
TINS fall TIL winter sets, and allow them no time
to hunt this fall to make provision for the win
ter consumption, we think they will be willing
to come into the traces towards spring.
A party, whether of Sioux or Chippewas we
were unable to learn, had returned to the scene
OF the late murder below Abercrombie and dis
inferred Lustig and probably scalped him. This
TALLY covered up with earth. They put the
sods back in their place and passed on.

THE SPECrAroRs

While the salute was being fired hundreds of
officers of the navy and army in brilliant mil
forms, and hundreds of soldiers and sailors
who seemed well pleased with the work thew
had done, crowded the ramparts of the fort
to witness the imposing scenes.
PRESENT CONDITION OF THE FORT
Over one thousand shells were exploded in
the fort. The brick walls inside and out are
fearfully battered and the citadel a mass of
ruins. Twas Informed by Capt. Palfrey that it
will require from one to two hundred thousand
dollars to repair the damages done by the day
bOmbardment.
The lighthouse is pierced and scaled in a
dozen places and is ready to tottle and fall be-
fore the lightest breeze. The rebels kept q
lookout in the top until our sharpshooters
made it too hot for him. Our boys put musket
balls through every pane of glass. We had q
line of eighty-pounder Parrots and four-inch
Dahlgrens, the latter under command of Capt
Tyson, of the Hartford, within fifteen hundred
yards of the fort. From three to five hundred
yards in front of these we had an irregular line
OF mortars, eight and ten-inch calibre, under
command of Maj. Roy, of the LIST Indiana Ar
