PocorALIGo.-This place, at last in the pos
session Of our army, is some forty-6ve miles
from Savannah, on the railroad leading thence
to Charleston, and derives its military impor-
tance, first, from it's long railroad bridge over
one Of those swampy streams which empty into
the navigable waters of Port Royal; and, So
condly, from the fact that at this point our army
gets possession OF two country roads Tin
region of dismal swamps, where roads are
indispensable and very scarce), by either Of
which or both a movement may be made upon
Branchville and Charleston.

New York ON skates.

GREAT FUN ON THE PONDS, ETC., ETC.
Yesterday and Wednesday were two Of the most
magnificent days experienced during the present
winter for the enjoyment Of that most invigorat-
ing exercise, skating. The s'ponds" in the Park
crowded all day with heterogeneous mass
Of humanity male and female, Of all ages; and the
splendid condition Of the ice rendered the
than ordinarily enjoyable. The various avenues
leading to the Park all thronged with vehicles OF
every description from the most luxurious shoddy turn
to the most plebeian sled used in vending spure'
milk to the denzens Of this great metropolis The snow
storm Of the day previous nterered somewhat with the
arrangements Of the keepers Of the Park ponds and the
ice although solid by In as good condition
might be desired
II must be confessed that the Fifth avenue pond pre-
sened attractions 70 the admirers this exhar-
ang and graceful exercise far superior to the Park
ponds-not only la the greater smoothness and excel
lcncc OF the ice, but what IL always matter Of
sderaton to the fasdious in the character and per
sonnsi Of those who frequented IL. The npidity
Of the evolutions and the exhilaration and enjoy
ment Of the moment 10 all greatly increased by
the excellent performance Of band Of music, which
IL in attendance from two O'Clock every afternoon.
The merry laughs Of the skaters the with which
young and old entered into tho spirit Of the sport the
rapidly moving hgures seeming TO mnge in nextrcable
confusion, yet gliding with and lightning like
velocity from end OF the pond to the other; the in
Vulnerable bright lights reflected in the transparent ice
tho strains of the band and the mingng of many
voices tuned In harmony presented picture to the mind
and coup gl rarely In these ATTITUDES when
the bal up There Is every prospect of good skating
for several days TO and to accommodate the skating
public efforts will b. spared by the keepers Of the
various ponds in the upper Of the city to render tho
sport as attractive as possible.

them" Here is subject for the investigation
Of the Legislative Committee; for IL the Comp
troller persists in this righteous determination
our streets may soon be as dark as midnight,
just o. they were recently heaped with ashes.
The gas monopolies must be compelled to come
TO terms, or they must be broken up; and that
Is the work before the Legislative Committee,
which is composed of men who, like Comptrol-
Ter Brennan, cannot be bribed to silence. But
there is yet more work for the committee In
connection with this matter. BY single signi-
acant paragraph the Comptroller connects his
communication with what VIC have previously
said Of the Citizens Association. II am aware"
says Mr.. Brennan, ''that the stockholders In this
gas company are among our most respectable
citizens, and the largest holders are the leaders
and chiefs in movements for municipal reform,
aud, doubtless, by acquiescing in this action !
might secure their public praise as faithful
officer" II this be so--if our reformers are
only trying to get their own hands into the city
treasury--if they are only damning jobs they
have no mind to In order to make room for
those they are inclined to-they should not be
neglected in the investigations Of the Legislative
Committee, and the true character OF these
wolves in sleeps clothing should be immc.
diately and officially announced. Truly, the
field before Messrs. Munger, White and Hum
phreys is large; but their ability is equal TO the
Iabors required, and their reward will be as
great as their task il onerous.
