tenStFe BuffAckH'
Charleston, S. c., March 22.-The United
States government is preparing to erect
extensive barracks on Sullivan's Island
for the accommodation of the new garri-
son. There are now eighty men there, All
of Battery and a part of Battery NJ.
The remainder of Battery NJ, eighty men
strong, together with the regimental band,
will arrive here tomorrow.
Lieut.. ]. B. Summerhays has been in
the city for several days and he has finally
located the site for the new barracks.
The property to be condemned by the gov
ernment comprises about one-fourth of
the town of Moultrieville. Seventy-fve
acres of land are required, on which there
are a present some forty residences.
When the soldiers arrive here from ST.
Augustine tomorrow regimental head
quarters will be established at once For
the present the houses now standing on
the site of the new barracks will be used
as quarters for officers and men.
1t was reported here to-day that work
on the fortdcations of Fort Sumter
would be started al once. There is, how
ever no official confirmation of this ru-
