SECOND A ETICLE. It has been said that the year 170 was a re markable year for England, inasmuch as Que bec and Minden, Gaudaloupe and Goree, Del hi and the Dutch, Quiberon and Lagos, all belong to it—besides that Burns, Porson, Wil berforce, and the younger Pitt were born in it. Take a decade farther on, however—and See Whether 1769 was not quite as remarkable— for then were the battles between Right and Might, John Wilkes versus King George; the commencement of the celebrated letters of inning; the Convention of discontented Arne ricans held in Fennell Half; and the birth of Sir Thomas Lawrence, Bishop Middleton, John Quincy Adams, Brunel of the Thames Tunnel, of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Castlereagh, and Mar shals Soult and Ney. Nor can one readily forget the celebrated mot of Louis XVIII., when some one remarked that Napoleon and ' Wellington had both been born in 1769- 1 cg God, when he sent the bane, also sent the antidote." - Lord Stanhope, the biographer and kinsman of Pitt, brings his life down to the year 1796, in his first two volumes. His death took place in 1806. With pardonable pride and in- I Wrest in his subject, he records the precocity of the boy, William Pitt, who was second son of the great Lord Chatham; the title became extinct in 11335; on the death of Pitt% eider brother, the hero of the unfortunate Walche rin expedition, in 1809, whose failure was attributed to the dilatory proceedings of him self commanding the military force, and Sir Richard Strachan (pronounced Straum) at the head of the naval. A well-known epigram arose out of this. The Bail of Chatham, with his sword drawn, Was waiting for Sir Richard Strachan : Sir Richard, eager to be at 'em, Was waiting for the Earl of Chatham ! Educated et home, under Ms illustrieue fii ther's eye, William Pitt, despite of delicate health, was able to enter Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, at the age of fourteen. He then know Latin as well as English; could trans late Thucydides, with scarcely a blunder, at sight, and was a good mathematician. The boy's instincts were all ambitions. At the age of twelve, he seriously said, 4 c I want to speak in the House of Commons, like Papa." His father conversed with him from the time he entered his teens as with a man, and the boy, oven then, expressed himself with viva city and propriety—but not in a mannish manner. He studied rhetoric, and his father encouraged him in this. Before be went to Cambridge, he wrote a tragedy called "Lan. renting, King of Clarinium," which Lord Ma.. caulay thought not worse than the dramatic efforts of William Hayley, a triton among the minnows, in those days. Macaulay adds, of this tragedy, "It is in some respects highly curious. There is no love. The whole plot is political." Lord Chatham intended that his son should become a candidate for academical honors at Cambridge, but ill-health prevented his keep ing his terms, and, in 1776, he tooktds degree of Master of Arts, without any public exami nation into his acquirements—an University rule, still operative, allowing noblemen's sons to do this. Fitt, however, really , Wits a first rate scholar. When his degree was con- FIRMEDY ferred, the public orator, according to custom, when presenting him to the Vice Chancellor and Senate, eulogized Pitt's learning, and his fellow•students interrupted him with acclama tions. He was so affable, good-tempered,aud amiable as to be a general feverite- at Cant. bridge, and was respected for his talents and acqnirements. Lord Stanhope—hiln. self educated in a public school, where making prosy verses in Greek and Latin is considered nearly all-in-all—says of Pitt €{ He had never, indeed, according to the fashion at public schools, applied him. self to Greek or Latin composition. Ho had never mastered the laborious hattilities of the ancient metre& But as to the true and vivi fying aim of classic study—the accurate and critical comprehenaion of the classic aathors— he was certainly in the first rank." Tomline, who was his tutor at the University, reports that there was scarcely a Latin or Greek author which Pitt had not properly read, and with whose beauties and defects he was tot intimately, acquainted. He had even gone' through Lycophron, an author so obscure that Professor Cleveland was perfectly justified in not giving specimens of his Cassandra in that excellent Compendium of Classical Literature which we lately noticed, and have since .extt. mined more minutely, with pleasure and advan tage.. Tomline speaks of Pitt's going through Lycophron, ig and with an ease, at first-sight, which, if I had not witnessedit, I should have thought beyond the compass of human , intellect." Pitt's health was so bad, while at Cam bridge, that • he was compelled{to take much horse-exercise, and, unfortunately, under me dical advice, a good deal of port wine. Through•life, the habit of indulging freely in wine clung <to him, exciting the hereditary gout in his system, and, finally, aiding in in-„ creasing the ailment which caused his prema ture death. - When Pitt was only nineteen years old, his, illustrious father died, and the elder son came into the title and estate. Pitt was admitted to tke bar in June, 1780, and had to borrow a•' thousand pounds—which he describes as lc a frightful sum"—for the purchase of his chambers at Lincoln's Inn. He{attended the Summer Assizes, on western circuit, and re ceived his maiden brief in sortie mercantile { case, displaying so'much: coolness and tact diving the trial that Lord Mansfield, who pre sided; complimented him warmly. Still, stirred by ambition, and conscious of great powers, Pitt hankered for a political life. His chief occupation was to attend the debates in the House of Commons. His am bition awakened, he was little more than twenty-one when he became a candidate {for the representation of the University of Cam bridge in Parliament. He was defeated, bttt, a few mouths Jitter, (23d January, 1781,) toopt his seat as member for Appleby, a small bo rough in the county of Westmoreland, Wholly under the, influence of Sir James Lowther. I This berangfi-monger very honorably gave Mr. Pitta written absolution from adhering to 'any particular party or political opinion& Ho entered Parliament at a very eventful. time, when there were cc foemen worthy of I his steel.' There was Lord North, almost crushed by the failure of his—or rather the King's—obstinate prosecution of the war'oith • the revolted Americans. There was Burke, a man of genius, however eccentric ; of elo quence, however fatiguing. There was Don ning, the great lawyer; Colonel Barre, keen as his own sword ; Charles James. Fox, some ten years his senior, destined to be his imme diate rival through life ; even as their fathers had been, each to each. There, a new mem ber like himself, was Richard Brineley Sheri dan.

Fitt's first speech in Parliament, delivered when he had been scarcely five weeks a mem . ber, was in support of Burke's Bill for Eco nomical Reform. He had intended to give only a silent vote, but there was an impres eion that ho meant to speak,-and after Lord Nugent closed his attack on the Rill the Whigs called out cc Mr. Pitt !

Lord Stanhope says ig Mr. Pitt, Ending himself , thus railed upon, and observing that the House waited to hear him thought himself bound to rise The sudden call did not for a moment .discompose him; he _wee from the beginning collected and,unembarrassed, and far from reciting a set speech, addressed him self et ono* to the business of, reply.

Lord Stanhope relates what followed, in the words of Lord nephew of C. J. Fox : , Holland , "No sooner had Pitt conoluded, than Pox, with go : arrow, warmth, hurried up , to wish him joy of his snacess. As they were still together, an old member, said to have been General Grant, passed by them, - and said ; ' Aye, Mr„ Fos, you are praising young Pitt for his speech. You may well do so ; for, excepting yonrself, there is no man in the Rouse can make such another ; and, old as I am, r expect and hope to hear you both battling ,it ~witldp;hese walls, as I 'rive heard your fathers bero.ro)ou,' Mr. Fox, disoormortod at the awk want' turn of the compliment, was silent and looked 'folish ; but young Pitt, with great deli. eaay:liatl*oadiness, answered, ' I have no doubt, General; you would like to attain the age of Me thuselah nit ' 1 It-lit no wonder that Pitt know how to speak. He had carefully studied Oratory, while at the Unitersity, and be attributed his great readi . . near of epeech to a practice, strongly mom .. , mers*ll to him by bis father, of translating aloud Prn eostheries and Cicero into English, I . and their of retranslating-them back into Greek and Latin.

In 1782 he declined the Vice-Trea surership of Ireland, .which was especially pressed on him. c 4 It was," to quote Earl Stanhope's words, .cc an office of light work and high pay, the latter being computed at no lees litta •tB,OOO a year. It was an office to whiek Pitt might rather incline, because his father , htul formerly held it; but the young barp Jr ster preferred his independence with ehanibers, and not quite .£2OO a year!' At' this, time Pitt voted with Fox and the Opposition, against the Ministry, strongly con damning the American War. At the close of one of his speeches, the applause was so great and continuous that it stopped the debate. In 1782, when Lord North and hM friends were.forced to quit office, the new Premier, LOrd Rockingham, offered Pitt the lucrative Irish:sinecure, which he decline& This youth, not then twenty-three years old, who had been only- fourteen months in Parliament," refused any efffee ices than that of a Cabinet Minister ! At this time Pitt brought forward his plan for Parliamentary Beforna—the principle of which (trausferring the elective franchise of rotten boroughs to popular manufacturing towns, to break down.the influence of the aristocracy in the House of Commons) was adopted in the Reform Bill of 1832. Lord Rockingham died on the first of July, 1782. Fax, who was Foreign Secretary, re tired in disgust, when Lord Shelburne was made Prime Minister. Pitt, at the age of twenty-three, was made Chancellor of the Exchequer. Soon after, an endeavor was made to obtain the adhesion of Fox, and Pitt was employed to speak to him.* Fox declined accepting a seat in the Cabinet, while Lord Shellinrne remained at its bead. "Then," Pitt said, (tour discussion ends. lam not heft, to betray his lordship." Thus ended the last private interview between Fox and Pitt. The Shelburne Cabinet soon fell. Pitt re signed office in March, 1783, on the Coalition between Lord North and Fox, and then de livered his first famous speech. This was in , vindication of the peace of 1783. Lord Stan hope says that this speech may be regarded as by far the greatest piece of oratory delivered either in ancient or modern times by any man under twenty-five. Wilberforce, in his diary,l -tweaks of gc Pitt's famous speech. * Sto mach disordered, and actually holding Solo mon's porch door (the portico behind the old House of Commons) open with one hand while 4araltlriff AdriugLFox's speech, to whom he was tqlveply." Whether thli was caused by ill health or by an excessive dose of Mr. Pitt's constant Medicine, port wine, we cannot help admiring the indomitable vigor and genius of the man who could even thus electrify the House of Commons. Pitt, after this speech, again sought the suffrages of the University of Cambridge, and again failed. lie went to Prance for three months, to improve his knowledge of the language, and returned with the purpose of steadily applying to the law, as a profession by which to live. But George 111., who hated the Coalition Ministry, took advantage of Fox's India Bill to dismiss it, and called upon Pitt, not twenty-four years old, to be his prime-minister. A bolder act, politician never did. About the same time, two noted lawyers en-I tered Parliament. Both appear to have faile& John Scott, afterwards Earl of Eldon, made a lengthy quotation from the Book of Revela tion, is la Cumming, that the beast with seven heads was an emblem of the awful innovation designed in the affairs of the East India Company;'and he "further garnished his oratory with. a citation of the tragic fate of Desdemona." Sheridan made a very caustic reply. Thomas Erskine, afterwards Lord Chancel for, fared even worse. Lord Stanhope says ' , Erskine alto spoke for the first time in these debates. A seat had been found for him at Potts. mouth. and he took his seat on the 11th of Nevem- I her. Not a week elapsed ere he rose to address.l the House. There was great eagerness to hear him, I and the highest expectation derived from his won derfal successes at the baf. But deep in proper den was the disappointment that ensued. Here, as derived from an eye-witness, is a graphic repro- natation of the scene : Pitt, evidently letenotig to reply; sat with pen and paper in his hand, pre pared to eat& the arguments of this formidable adversary Be wrote a word or two. Erskine pro ceeded, but with every additional sentence Pitt's attention to the paper relaxed, his look became mere careless, and ha obviously began to think the orator less and less worthy of his attention. At length. while every eye in the. House was fixed upon him, with a contemptuous smile he dashed the pen through the papers, and flung them °tithe floor. Erskine never recovered from this expres sion of disdain ; his voice faltered; he struggled through the remainder of his speeoh, and sank in to his seat dispirited and shorn of his fame.' A diseussien is said to have arisen atthe time whether Pitt's ,pantorninsits 'display of *antes* wee pre maditated, or arose from the feeling of the moment;' but Lerd Campbell, as the biographer of Erskine, inclines to the latter opinion." Very different, we may add; was Pitt's con duct when Henry Grattan made his first speech in. he Imperial Parliament, a few months be fore, Pitt's decease. It.was on the Catholic ()notion, in reply to that wretched bigot, Dr. Duigenan. Pitt listened attentively, his face shaded by his hand. When Grattan said of Daigenan thaibe rose "to rescue the Catholics from.hfs attack and the Protestants from his defence," Pitt called out gi Heart hear ! hear I"—the usual way of signifying applanse in Parliament. The Ministerial members, Ml lowing their leader, cheered vigorously, and were followed by the Opposition. Pitt turned to a member near him and said, cc Burke told me that Grattan was the man for a popular as sembly, and now I believe it." The Periodicals.

JOHNSON St GO. ) in tbin city, atitlresned to his comrades at home : FORT WASHINGTON, May 13, 1861 * • Our flag-staff still towers high above the ramparts of Fort WashingtOn, and the stars and stripes are only lowered by Union-loving hands, when the sun sinks be hind the Alleghenies. am following the daily routine of military life, and often when standing sentinel in the anent watch es of the night, my eyes involuntarily , seek the grim-looking ‘g dogs of war," which crouch at intervals along the lines, and I won der how long it will be before our plethoric magazine will have an opportunity of satiating their appetites for powder. We are constantly engaged in strengthen ing our position. All that experience, scien tific engineering, and hard labor can do to wards attaining a result commensurate with the importance of the post, Is brought to bear with judicions foresight and unflagging perse verance. We have finished inotititing our thirty-two pounders. The furnaces for heat ing shot are in apple-pie order ; the maga zines are full; the hand.grenades are ready for use ate moments notice ; the bombs are 1 ( lying around loose ;" we have any quantity of provisions; and the artillerists sleep nightly beneath their guns. • ' Our commanding officer,' Major .Toseph - A. Baskin, is a quiet, modest, and unassuming gentleman, and gallant soldier and has been assigned to the command at this point for his tried skill, bravery and prudence, and for his known devotion to the Constitution and the Union. Major Raskin long since gcwon his spurs," having lost an arm before the castel lated walls of grim Chepultepec, in the deter mined and successful effort of ear little army to plant the glorious flag upon Its battlements, and was breveted for his gallant conduct on that occasion. The ability and energy with which he - - has quietly and carefully prepared the defences entrusted to his charge, fully de serve the recognition they have received from the proper department at Washington.

L. T. S. FORT WASHINGTON, may 17. 1861. I suppose a few lines from this vicinity, un der the circumstances, will be acceptable to your readers, who, I. suppose, take an interest in all that concerns ef the raw flat-footed militia of Pennsylvania," as we were politely termed by some of the iashington papers. However, such small matters as that trouble us very little. We were the first company of volun teers who crossed the threshold of the Capi tol, and have the proud consciousness that the presence of the cc F. F. M." saved our country the disgrace of having its seat of Government occupied by a horde of traitors. We were quartered for about two weeks at the Capitol, when we were removed to this point, which is a very important one, as it en tirely commands the river Potomac, and con sequently prevents the possibility of the ap. preach of any hostile force to Washington by water. The fort is a very old one, and, in some points, rather defective. It seems to have been designed with an idoa that it would never be attacked from the land side, for, while it is very well prepared for offence or defence on the side facing the river, it is de cidedly weak on the land side. I understand that it is the intention of the Government to erect a battery on a hill immediately behind the tort, which will remedy this defect. Our men have all been in first-rate health and spirits. We have been troubled a little with diarrhcea, owing, I suppose, to the sudden change in our habits and diet. We arc, con sequently, very confident ; but this may, per haps, be owing to the peculiar characteristic mentioned by the Wattingtorpopova. - -- • We have been working very hard since we have been hero. For several years the fort has been unoccupied and dismantled. The heavy work is now nearly all done, and the fort in pretty good condition. We have very good quarters, and altogether are very comfortably situated. I remain yours, very truly, Exams% Col. Patterson's Regiment. GAM? MILLOILIMA, near Washington, May 16, 1861. As there are many mothers in Philadelphia whose sons are now soldiers in the service of the United States, I presume the following ex tract of a letter giving the routine of camp day, as performed in the First Regiment Light Artillery, Col. Patterson, will be aeceptable at this time, that they may have some idea of a cc soldier's life in camp :" 1. Reveille, at sunrise; 2. Police, tents, &c., fifteen minutes after reveille, roll-call, put tents in order, and open tent.flaps ; 8. Squad drill at 5 o'clock, for one hour; 4. Surgeon's call at 61 o'clock; 5. Breakfast at 7, (Peas on a Trencher) ; 6. Dress parade, arms inspected; 7. Mounting of the guard, 81 A. M. ; 6. The morning reports; 9. General police call at 9 o'clock, the guard that went off the day before form police; 10. Company drill at 11 o'clock; 11. Dinner at 1 P. M., (The Roast Beef of Old England) ; 12. Battalion drill at 4i- P. M. ; 18. Supper at 6 P.M. ; 14. Retreat, 7 o'clock; 15. Tattoo 9-1 P. m., all turn in. The guard consists of 100 men, 3 sergeants, and S corporals, divided into 3 reliefs. There are also outlying pickets, of 3 men each, posted in different directions within one-half mile of the camp. The camp is pitched on one of the most beautiful spots that I ever saw. It is on the old estate of Commodore Decatur, and a little ' above Georgetown Cemetery, on the oppo site side of a narrow but deep creek, and situated on high ground, surrounded on three sides with trees, at a distance of about one hundred and fifty yards from the lines. We are the most advanced camp near the city, and furthest thrown out in the enemy's country. There are thirteen tents attached to each company. A marquee to the commissioned officers of each company, one to the colonel, One to major, one to adjutant, one to quarter master, one to medical department, one to hospital, and twenty guard tents, viz : Two for magazines, Nee for prisons, one for officer of guard, one for non-commissioned officers of guard, two for mysicians, one for officer of the day, and ten for the guard not on ddty. Our fare is good and wholesome. Breakfast— Fried pork or beef, and fried bread, with cof fee. Dinner—Roast beef, with pudding. Supper—Cold meat, with bread and coffee. We have every facility for keeping clean, as the men bathe nearly every day in the little stream I spoke of. We are cautioned .never to leave the lines of the camp unless armed and a vigilant guard is constantly preserved. There are several springs of delicious water close to the camp, which is surrounded every day with croWds of darkies to, sell' leutonade, pies, tobacco, or any other little luxuries the men may wish. L. CAMP POEN aTI:VANDL, NATIONAL GUARD RNOINEN Locust Point, near Baltimore, May 20. You have already published accounts of our arrival at this place. We passed through Perryville on Wednes day morning. I have seldom beheld a more loathsome or disagreeable spectacle than our encampment at that place presented. The men were lying dove-tailed under sheds and Shelters of carpenter work, covered only by the Government blankets. I had heard many complaints of the manner in which Colonel Dare's command were treated, but the reality passed all comprehension. Many a wistful eye was cast on us as we marched through their disgraceful quarter. The very at. mosphere was noisome and unhealthy. • Our ride on the steamboat down the Sus quehanna was very uncomfortable. We were very closely packed, but we had pure air, and the men exhibited no uneasiness or disap pointment. Our first experienees of camp life were no vel, and tested very thoroughly the patience 1 of those who bad been used to the appliances and comforts of a luxurious home. We slept under the open heavens for the first night, the colonel and all. Our ablutions were per formed in the Patapsco, about a mile from camp. Our breakfasts are not such as may be bad at the Continental, but they will do. We do our own cooking, and bare all cent!: deuce in the quality of our food, if nothing else. Our rations are bled, but we hope to have an amelioration in a little while; then the commissariat departments are under more thorough management. The morning we spent renewing old friend. ships and making new ones. We smoked and :chatted, told stories, sang songs, and .spoke, of honie,wives, and sweethearts, and the dear •friends who 'think--of us,swith -sorrowful and loving hearts. We then assemble for mora.: - TWO utwrs. log parade, which is witnessed by thousands from Baltimore. After the parade, the orders of the day are read.. The rest of the day's proceedings are no doubt familiar to yon, for the story of one camp is the story of all. Our camp rules are very strict. Wo have had no trouble from outsiders, and there has been but little sickness among our troops. We have had no disturbance of any kind. We have our amusements and pleasures in spite of all restrictions. On Saturday eve ning we closed the week with (ca. grand theatrical entertainment," under the super vision of Manager " Mcßride, Company F. 4g he Great Show." wound up with a grand ,walk around, in which the audience wore re. quested to join. We don't know how long we shall remain hero. The people of Baltimore have shown us all kindness. BELPHEOOB• From Ilarnsburga (For Tile Press.] hin.'Enrioa :' A visit to Camp Curtin, a day or two since, satisfies me that soldiering is very like clock-work—not in the proverbial sense of the adage merely, but in the fact that the striktng works are' considerably less im portant than those of the regular running gear or time-keeving machinery. The battles of a campaign: cover at most 'a few hours or days, while the drill, drudgery, endurance, and camp duty are incessant, and every moment of telling importance. Gunk, drnms,.and bent tiers ; killed, wounded, prisoners and missing figure largest in the hulletins, and glare bright est in this historic :Pegg, but to the -apprehen sion of unpractised .man, it' is 'map life that embodies LIM terrors at war.•l' ishould not wonder if the guard•house of, a training camp showed a larger, percentage of de. Unguents than the actual cowardice of the battle field. The hasty , gathering I of a host of raw recruits,. from hilt and dale, workshop and counting house, ac customed to all the liberties of home life, all suddenlY subjected to the screws and brakes Of Military discipline, is a pull-up with no lit. tie surprise and suffering in it. There seems to be a strong necessity for treating the whole affair as frolic, and the demand is strong for fun and.physical divertisements. It is worth while to give a day to the enjoyment, and an earnest attention to the meaning of the show. The impressions of my first hour I found in the second were all wrong. The merriest dogs among the loungers invariably turned out to be the most thoughtful and susceptible, while the quieter and sadder-looking men were the best satisfied. Approaching several of the si lent, sombre sort with the sympathy which they seemed to want, I found tbat they all considered their provisions good and plentiful, and their accommodations, in the way of cloth ing and lodging, as good as they wanted. ct You have rather a rough time here, and illUat be weary waiting for the bright side of a soldier's life,?' was answered with a plump dissent. cr No, I can't say that we have any thing to complain of; it, is as good as we are used to. The lumbering business is as rough as anything we have here, or expect," fi Well, then, what do you want?" cc Why, it we had the right sort of arms, and a fair chance to use them, I reckon we would be all satisfied." These thee, so reasonable and steady in their wishes and demeanor, were generally of Col. Kane's "Bucktail Riles," rugged, rough looking men in the last degree, but, on inti mate acquaintance, as well-nmie men, and with as well-set minds, and as well-tormed charactera. for the service before them, as any which the army can produce.- They came down like atreshet from tbe head waters of the Susquehanna at the call of their country, with their minds made up to do their duty bravely, patiently, and effectively. Con sidering bow much these men can do, and how little they want for themselves, I Mel doubtful if the army of the Union can produce a worthier corps. Their colonel, too, is not un known to us. He is as full of pluck and enter prise as, he can hold. Finely and highly ac eomplished as study and travel can make & man of action, and with his life already crowd ed with adventures requiring talent, tact, and heroism, there is the happiest fitness in his re lation to the hardy mountaineers under his command. His expedition to Utah, and hap pp adjustment of the difficulties there, was really an achievement showing higher quali ties than are required for any subordinate military command. Such men as the Buck tail Rifles, under such a leader as Colonel Thomas L. Kane, in the rough-and-tumble warfare of our border, may render service that will handsomely compare with the most daahlpg epleita et regular. battle acids. They are the ;men to make the Occasions, and then improve; them to the utmost; and I feel safe in riskieg a prophecy upon them that might fulfil the ambition of the crack regiments, from which the, public is led to expect the grandest achievements. oms. of the arms issued to part of the troops are said to be unsatisfactory. An abundant supply may be procured by inviting the new volunteers to bring with them their own guns, especially rides, with their moulds, and a pound each of balls. Almost every man in the state has a rifle or shot-gun, and can manage his own better than .a strange piece. The shot-guns are generally as good as the army muskets, often better; and if not of the same calibre, buck-shot are as formidable as balls, and aiming high, have a long range ; ; they are more efficacious in close action than balls, as more antagonists will be struck. A bayonet ia easily adapted to the shot-gun or rifle. Uniformity of size is more a matter of parade than of real necessity. May 20, 1861. C. Importa.nt from Chesapeake Bay. An Engagement in Hampton, iteade WASHINGTON, May 20 —On Saturday afternoon, at SewsWe Point, Hampton Needs at the month of the Elizabeth river, commenced the fir offetaeive operations on the part of the United States in this war. I am put in possession of full particulars by the arrival of the United States steamer Thos. Free born, Commander Jammu H. Ward, at this port, this evening ? with special deepatehee to the Go. vernment.. Ebe brings up from Fortress Monroe gentlemen who went down on Friday on the U. S. steamer Keystone State, on an especial visit to the fortress, among whom were Senators Wade, Chandler, and Morrill, and Mr. Nicolay, the Pre. sident'e Monetary, and Mr. Dinsmore, of New York, all of whom witnessed, with unfeigned com fort, from the pder at Fortress Monroe, the can nonading of the nnfinisbed Sewall's! Point battery, in which the Freeborn played so Important a part. The buttery In question is the eighth and List of the Important Werke Which defend the approaches to Norfolk, all now In the hands of the booession. Lite. The one nearest to Norfolk Mounts eighteen guns ; the seoond,,Fort Norfolk.' Ike twelve guns ; next, Craney Island, mounts thirty gues, while below there are two others, ono of seven and the Other of ton gams, all splendidly built, and mounted with the best heavy rifled and other ordnance from Norfolk navy yard, the least part of which was de. strayed in the p %nisi fire. The heaviest of Dahl vet'! rifled ordnance were at that yard. I am informed that the erection of the eighth work at Sewall's Point is of less importance as a defence than as an offensive work, operating on that part of the blockade whioh relates to James river. How Important this U wilt be Seen from tare tact that there are now twenty prizes, tobacco laden, lying under the guns of the blockading squadron, nearly all talon coining out of that river. Among them is one Britian hark, cargo valued at one hundred and sixty thousand dollars ; also, an American bark. The United States steamer Star (late Monti. cello) at noon commenced cannonading fhe new work. She Bred shell with ten.inoti guns, which burst with effect. Commander -Ward's flotilla arrived . from New York at two, o'clock. Captain Ward, in the steamer Freeborn, was immediately sent to aid the Star. The Freeborn opened with thirty:twir pound -round shot ; she fired fifteen rormds,.and drove out the engineering or defend ing party, commanded by a mounted officer. " She then hauled off and. reported -to the Commodore, who despatohed the .Freeborn Immediately for West:duvets Hampton Roads is covered -with the fleet and the prizes.

On the way up the Thomas Preeboros, at day. light, on Sunday, fell in with the steamship Salts more, belonging to and bound from Beltilmore to Havana, out of. her course in the Potomac river, near the mouth. The Freeborn mistook her for an 'enemy, end brought the guns to bear on her. She finally showed the American flag. She was boarded and tonna to be aground. Enna were made to pull her' off, resulting parting both hawsers, and the Freeborn was obliged to' leave her to reaohlWashington with despatch. On Sunday afternoon, the Freeborn, at Cedar Point, took a Virginia schooner ea a prize. The craft was of no Importance. In the evening got in thick weather, and laid .to in tbe fog. A small Vessel, the Isabella, attempted to pees, after being hailed repeatedly. At- the threat of a shot, the captain .let go bar masher.

Although this is only the remark of a common soldier, it ' shows a glimpse of the color of his party's thoughts. A private in au army ought to be as significant as a straw in a river.

Ile has twice fooled " our men-of war by sending up night gigues according to the rules of' the regular signal book. But he Les only shown his want of - sense by suggesting what might be a ruse of the rebels in fighting times If he again succeed in getting reeogitition from the fleet, it will either be because he is aimed at on the yard arm, or on aceount of some impossible annihilation of our flag lieutenants At the same time, all ship's officers, would do well to bear in mind that in Texas and - Florida resigned officers used the private service signals stieeessfollY• Lieut Renshaw is now Om- • • entelore of four Confederate naval Vatteli, whisk may, without exaggeration, be dubbed the standing war fleet Be is working hard to make the wrecked steamer Fulton fit for his flag ship, and if she be too rotten to suit that purpose, there to no coned plank in her hull. • There is some discussion going on here about a few alaves taken on board one of our ships at Key .

Some officers say that retaining them Is wrong ; others that they are " property seized from our opponent " Certainly, the very marked manner in which: the South hoe insisted on de claring colored slaves chattels, and its uncoremo- Mous method of steeling our forts and arsonele, would seem to mitigate the unconstitutional merge of "running off with niggers."

F. A. 0. AFFAIRS AT PENSACOLA. A letter in the Charleston boureer, dated ill trwt. contains the following Die given out that the force before Pickens will be increased each day until fifteen or twenty thou. sand men are congregated there. Then the en gagement will eammenee. In the meantime, the . enemy is not idle He bait thrown up formidable batteries in every available spot on Santa Rosa Island, and seems determined to give us a smart tug before the stronghold is captured. Most of the United States soldiers in opposition to us are well tried and veteran troops. They have seen service in Texas, and know in what consists the trade.they follow. The Turner was very current upon the streets yesterday that Pike. with 2 000 Indians at hie back, was on his way to the capital to offer hie and their services to the Confederate Suttee. This will be a novel feature in the meet of the war, when two each wild mounted regiments as these are secured. President Davis left the capital to-day at 2 o'clock for Pensacola He purposes simply to visit the position of General Bragg and make a therstrieh inspection or - the state of affairs round about Pick ens. The following is an extract from the Montgo mery correspondence of the Charleston Courier, under date of May 11 t- I understood - from a gentleman jest arrived from Pensacola, that General Bragg expressed him self ready to,commence an attack on Poikens yes terday. Re - hat computed that in eapturing tbe fortress 3.000 lives will be lost on our side. He says the place cannot be taken at a lesser 8401i$110. From the great preparation in the Medical Bureau, I am inclined to think a speedy attack is premedi tated. Surgeons seem to he in demand, and in struments and medicines more so.

Ile can di cover no reason why, at a time like the present, the Cadets at West Point should be furnished with fine imported linen, instead of a domestic manufactured article,.when the officers and privates, now in actual service" in the field,- are not sufficiently wall provided with clothing, even of home manufacture. Be is, more over, deeply impressed with the conviction, that the policy of the Government should at ell 'times be to prefer domestic manufactures in 5111;101watt' of purchases for the publics service. and to sooort to foreign markets for such articles only as cannot be obtained in this country.
