Sebastopol Is In ruins, but here and
there houses Of better description arc
cropping up. There is new Admiral
ty and a large new church, the latter
Oh the top Of the ridge near the old
ruined Church of st. Peter and Paul.
x is built Of Inkerman stone, and, with
the new Church Of Vladimar and tho
great memorial edilice to the memory Of
those who fell in the siege, situated on
the north side of the harbor, form three
very conspicuous white objects, seen
from the deck Of the ship as one ap-
proaches Sebastopol. There is good
fish market at daybreak each day, and
the city has three good hotels. The
newest, or Grand Hotel, is very COM
Portable. There are plenty OF horses
for riding and carriages for hire, 50 one
disposed to revisit Inc fields Of his early
battles can easily do 80. and without
either much trouble or expense. The
trenches are easily discerneu by those
who have any knowledge Of them. Bits
or sole leather, heels of boots, buttons,
the tin inside OF pouches, are about in
all directions, and innumerable pieces
OF brokct bottles. The monuments,
from long exposure to tho weather, are
Iii many cases illegiblo. Inc sites vi
camps are now great meadows with
tllr crops. The Windmill has its roof
decaycd and gone. Oar roads are our
greatest and grandest monuments.

arc covered with enormous fields of corn,

neglected. The monument ovor the Of
licers Of the 23d is falling to pieces.
This is to be lamented, as it is beauC-
tul memorial of white marble, and con
spicuous for many miles rs you approach
the battery where so many fell to rise
