THE CITY DEFENCES
THE NEW DELAWARE FORTIFICATIONS
EXPENSES OF THE HOME SOLDIERY.
The Reconnoissance of the Susquehanna
and Delaware Rivers, &c.
The report of General A. T. Pleasonton, (an ap
pendix to the Mayor's minuet report,) which we
published on Saturday exclusively in The Pees,
has been widely read, and its revelations have
awakened considerable discussion, that may event
uate in prompt measures for the security of our
port and city.
,We present to-day .some important
documents of a similar kind—likewise exclusive—
that throw more light upon a variety of important
military matters transpiring in our midst:

shall be at band. in protecting the twin oarhes to the city
on any aide of it. and in repelling amanita that may be
made thereon. from any quarter.
GOVERNMENT OF TILE roroEs
The two corps may be advantageously employed, under
certain circumstances, in reciprocal duties. It is impor•
tent, nay, indsspenrable to the success 61 this organiza
tion, that both of these corps should be placed as rapidly
as possible iu the highest state of discipline and efficiency
of which they may be susceptible, and for this purpose,
that they should be governed in their discipline, as far as
may be amine-able to them, by the rules and regulations
of the army of the United States.
The area to be defended, the population to be protected
in its honest industrial pursuits, and the immense capital
exposed within our city limits, in my judgment 'will not
justify the organization of a smaller force.
very nearly that number is now reported to be enrolled
in the Home Guard, and large outlays of money have
already - Lunn:lnd(' by our (Unite iu contracts for uni
forms, pay of instructors in drill, rent of armories, Sfe.,
in aid of this organization.
The public sentiment, in harmony with my own, de
-
mends the creation of this amount of force.
The staff for its government should be adequate to the
important duties entrusted to it, and should be organized
on a plan coeformabie to that of the army of the United
states fora three of the strength named.
❑INIFOR3IS AND HOSPITALS
The uniforms will be supplied by the members of the
Berne Guard themselves, and at their own expense.
Arnie, equipments, and munitions of war will be furnish
ed by the city.
A military hospital department has been nlreuly or
ganized, under my direction, fora the use of the Home
Guard, and is now in operation. This has been done
without material expense to the city, and mainly by the
benevolent contributions of our fellow-citizens, more
especially of our ladies, whose efforts have been un
ceasing to promote, in every way, the comforts and al
leviate the sullerings of our gallant soldiery.
The nee of the beeplial hag been teticteeed to the Uelted
stales for the treatment of their sick and wounded
soldiers and sailors, and has been accepted by Major
General Patterson, and already many of these patients
have been successfully treated there, while quite a num
ber etill remain to receive that care and attention for
which our city has in en always famed.
De. John 111.11, the mailed director, and the medieal
gentlemen of his stiff, deserve great praise for the prompt
and efficient organization of this valuable hospital. I
have every reason to believe that it will be self-sustain
ing.
GARRISONS OF ! . .ORTS_IDELAWARV AND
IMMO
Recently, when the Governnant of the ..Gnittal States
was unable to establish sufficient garrisons at Forts Dela
ware and Mifflin, and the naval magazine, I caused, upon
the application of Captain Dupont, commanding the navy
yard, and of Major General Patterson, counnauding this
dopspiront, d e tAciduents to be made from the Home
Guard to gay icon the said worßs. The tranquilizing ef
fect of this act upon the public mind is but another evi
dence of the immense value, both to the city and General
Government. of our Home Guard. All of which is re
spectfully submitted by A. J. PLF.ASOSTTOM,
Commanding Home Guard.

The following is a copy of a bill presented to Congress,
for the defence of Philadelphia, January 2, 1862, by
the Hon. William D. Kelley, of Pennsylvania:
A Bill for the Defence of the City of Philadelphia, the
Diver Delaware, and the Harbor of liefuge, at Dela

Be it enacted. etc., That the sum of twelve hundred
thousand dellars be. and the same is hereby, appropriated
out of any money that may be now or hereafter in the
Treasury of the United States, for the construction, arma
ment, and supply of a suitable number of floating iron
clad eteam batteries, for the defence of the Delaware
river and a he number, flan, 1-, 11.1 A con
etruction of the same to be determined'hy the Secretary
of the Navy, and to be finished with the least possible
delay.
Bac. 2. And Le it further enacted, That* the sum of
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars be, and the same
is hereby, appropriated out of any money that may be
now or hereafter in the Treasury cf the Vnited gtitge‘ to
be expended, under the direction of the Secretary of
War, in the purchase of a site or sites for, and the con
struction of, suitable works of defence for the harbor of
refuge made by the Delaware Breakwater in Delaware
Bay, the said works of defence to be commenced and
finished with the least possible delay.
UM IlilaND MILITARY RECONNOISSANCE.
PHILADELHHIA, January,ls62.
GENERAL: I have tho honor to hand you herewith the
report of the military reconnoisoance of the Susquehanna
ricer and of the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, between
the mouth of the river and Chesapeake City; thence
along the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal to Delaware
City, and 100 of the roads and country comprised be
tween the river, the canal, and a line drawn from Dun
can's Island to Philadelphia.
KAI% OF THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER
The map of the river, in four sheets, on a scale of two
inches to the mile, and the several topographical sketches
taken near the fords, are being prepared in the °nice of
the chief cogiuter anti surveyor of the city. That olfl
ter, having been lately very much engaged with his offi
cial duties, hes het n unable to give his attention to the
early completh n of the map.
On the published county maps, accompanying this, all
the explored roods are drawn in red, so as to readily and
Quicky distinguish them from the other roads. It will
be seen that all the moot important ones leading from the
riser, AS high ne blItiCAlO4 I,oaed, hare Leen ewernieed
end described. It would have been desirable that a few
ethers connecting the main roads had also been ex
plored, so as to have had a thorough reconnoissance of
the country ; but the limited expenditure for the work
prevented so desirable an object. What is here pre
sented, however, it is believed, will be found of some
service in enabling the authorities to prepare, at (hirer.
ent points, for tile repulse of an invading foe.
lIE FORDS AND ROADS.
The natural defensible positions on nearly all the
roads have been given at the end of their description,
except those examined by Mr. Sheaff, who has wider
lined those points in the lady of hie description of the
roadie-
Captain Huelva. of the Home Guard Engineer Cores,
One of my assistants, was compelled to leave the recoil
roissance on the 13th of October on account of hia
duties in Philadelphia requiring his presence there;
and Lieut. Field, of the Reserved Brigade, was also called
away from the work on the 11th November by important
private affairs, leaving Mr. Sheaf' and myself to finish
the reconnoissance. The withdrawal of those gentle
men, especially of the first, somewhat crippled the effi
ciency of the party, and delayed the time of the comae-
Pion of the wary_ My field work was completed the
25th of November, and Mr. Sheaff's on the 11th of De
cember since that time we have been closely engaged
in embodying the subjects of our notes.
At the end of the report is placed an index, where will
be seen at once the page where the desired section of the
river, or the descristlon of a toad to be examined, is to
Ze found_
TEE DELA.WARE RECONNOISSANCE
'lhe shore of the Delaware liver from Delaware City
'to Philadelphia was not examined, as directed in my in
struetion, because, on reaching `Delaware City, I was
informed that Captain Davidson, of the Topographical
Engineer Corps, who had left the day before my arrival,
bad been engaged for several weeks, by order of the
- United States Government, in making a reconnoissance
and survey of thot -eery shore. I, therefore, thought It
unnecessary and a waste of time to go over the same
ground again. and on informing you of this, you coin
cided in opinion with me, and directed me to go on at
Once with the reconnoissance of the interior.
You will oblige me by ascertaining from the mayor
whether it is his desire that my duties should cease upon
the presentation of the report, although the maps to ac
company it arc not completed. I will, upon being so in
formed, consider myself no lenger on duty.
Very respectfully, your ob't servant,
C. H. EAHIN,
