 There is no news at the fort as to what may be done with the coast ar tillery corps. but the impression seems to have become quite firmly fixed that the corps will remain at the island forts during the winter.
 The men have enjoyed the splendid fall weather and are happy except for the fact that many of them are anxious to go lover there.''
 The health of the company remains very good, without cases of serious illness among it's members.
