OLD POINT.
pain

II the Spanish leaders read what Colo
nal Frank is reported to have said about
Tho dofenceless condition of Fort Monroe
they may steer clear of that place In the
event of war
They are a suspicious people, and they
would be apt TO suppose that the Colonel
IS trying 10 trick them into sailing nto
uampton Roads. with the view OF de-
stroying their feet with masked batteries
or mines Of torpedoes.
II would be inconceivable TO them that
our government had neglected this i'm
portant post. commanding, as it does. the
highways TO Baltimore, Washington, Nor
folk, Newport News, and Richmond ana
they might therefore suspect Colonel
Frank of laying a trap for them.
But as we cannot depend upon the
Spaniards seeing the reported utterance5
of the Colonel, 1t is to be hoped his state
ment will arouse the administration TO
the importance of making ample pro-
vision for the defence of Fort Monroe.
We ought to have men. guns, and tor
pedoes enough there to bar the hope OF
anv fleets passing Old Point. The Vir-
GINA volunteers might be very readily
assembled there. and could be depended
upon for courageous service, but we take
il that Colonel Franks chief want is ex-
perienced artillerymen. These we could
not furnish, certainly not in considerable
numbers.
The United States Government has Sc
cured a number of fast steamers whose
business is to be that of picketing our
coast line. With these on duty, and pro-
perly differed, 1t would not be possible
for an enemy's fleet to approach the Vir-
ginia capes without detection. A hostile
feet would be seen afar off, and notice of
its coming could be quickly given from
picket TO picket, and thus be signalled
ashore. SO. in case of hostilities,
the destruction Of the hotels at
old Point might be STAYED off to the
latest hour: so there would be time for
the assembling of the volunteers, but it
would be too late then TO repair the de-
fciencies of which the cOmmandant of
the fort complains. We, therefore, nope
he may have the ear of the administra-
ton. and may be so well provided with
men and weapons that no further con-
Germ need be felt about the defences of
the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads.
