FoRT DARLGNG.--A cores pondent of the
Providence Journal, in describing the numer-
Gus and formidable delences erected by the
rebels on James river, thus speaks of the
famous i ort Darling:
"a this point and on the opposite side OF
the riyer from Capin's Bluff is Fort Darling,
which two Years ago proved so serious an
obstacle to the approach to Richmond by the
river. Since then IL has been doubly strength
ened, and for a while was iron-clad, all the
evidences of the method of fastening the
plates still remaining Upon the construc-
lion of the rams these plates were removed
to be used on the vessels, and the fort was
strengthened in proportion to its estimated
Tors by this removal. II is mssnifcently
cons ructed and finished work, and strong as
engineering skill. time and means could make
1t. Its 'raverses would stand a protracted
bombsrdment its bomb-proois are capable
of containing more its full garrison /; its guns,
the sample Of English skull and ingenuity,
we're trained with unerring range upon the
channel SO sudden was the evacuation that
the garrison wers called into line BY COM
panies on Sunday evening and marched off,
the officers not even being permitted to return
again to their quarters to take anything with
them. Meals were lett untasted, guns left
unspiked and letters unfnish. The am
munition was Of the best quality, shot and
she'll OF the most destructive kind. A sam
pie / saw was metallic cartridge for n
musket. which, Immediately upon entering
the body, exploded, and drove the ball
which was part of it, whithersoever it
might"

CURSES WHICH CANE HOME TO RoosT.-
Every body remembers the prophecies OF the
Charlestonisns, in 1860 and 1861, that If the
North should attempt to resist the will Of
South Carolina, the grass would grow in the
streets of New York, and that cows wou'd
be pastured in Broadway The fre-eaters
spoke with careless glee of this utter ruin
and desolation, which they intended to bring
upon the people Of this cily, and the whole
North. Well. the Southern correspondent
of the London Times, writing from Charles
ton on January l4th Of the present yea , says
Of that cty
e am told that in the height of summer.
when the grass in the streets afforded pastur-
age 10 many wanderings cows, and the Wild
fennel shot up eight or ten feet high, turning
the city into Tire semblance of a Jungle, the
sense OF desolation and ruin was far mere
plainly felt. Already the hen partridge has
been found nesting among the crumbing
ruins. Already the owl has been heard TO
boot by night from the spires OF the demo-
ished churches"

troops recently engaged IN the capture OF
Richmond and the destruction OF Lees army I:
