THE DEFACING OF FORT LAFAYETTE.

Considerable difficulty has been met in effacing
the advertisement which The Herald recently
painted on Fort Lafayette. Acids, chisels and
of few of the letters are visible. Ii has been
rumored that there was difficulty between General
Hancock and his subordinate officers over the
officers for allowing The Herald surrepttiously to
deface the fort. The fact is that General Hancock
has nothing To do with Fort Lafayette; The fort,
Corps and has been used as a store-house for tho
old iron taken from the wreck of the Nankn. The
men sent by The Herald to deface the fort were
lurking about the place for day or two before
they painted the sign. 1t was supposed by Colonel
Gillespie, of the Engineers that they were trying 70
steal the old iron which he had stored there aud he
gave orders to have Waterman sent down 10 tho
fort on the day the DETACHMENT was observed. IL
is the intention of the Colonel TO make The Herald
ear all the expense of removing the sign.
