years ago, when the present system of

These defense points are planned and

the guns furnished by the ordnance de-

patches have been sent during the past
a hours from Governors Island, the
army headquarters of the department
of TIC east, to various points of fori-
fcation along the seaboari, from East
port, Me. TO Galveston, Tex.
All Of these Notifications in which
guns aud mortars have been mounted
are under the control of Gen. Wesley
Merit, commander of the department
of the east.
Gen. MERIT spent very little of the
day at TIE island, his staff attending to
the unusual amount of Geographic cor
respondence. During his absence, Col.
Barber refused to discuss the reasons OF
the activity along the seaboard. except
to say that everything now being done
was mere the execution of a coast de-
fence progam outlined several months
ago.
