The Occupation of Fort Clinch—The Appear anen of Fernandina The place almost Abandoned—The Contrabands at Fort Royal. [Specie] Correspondence of Tho Press.] Pout Rovai., S. C., March 10, 1802, Although you have probably received, ere this, official communication of tho fall of Fernandina, I send you, fay the first steamer that has left Hilton Head since we hero have been apprised of the fact, auiih details ns I am able to impart. The expedition had been contemplated, at inter vals, ever since the capture of Hilton Heal; and, according to what had lately been learned, it had been anticipated by the rebels quite as long. They mode preparations to receive us, and, it la believed, bad a force of nearly 5,000 men, and as many as fifty or slaty heavy guns, at Fernandina a week ago, when ont own combined. force, appeared be fore that place. Various causes occasioned the de lays in the plans of General Sherman and Commq dore Dupont; but, so long ago as the 21st of Janu ary, throe regiments of infantry, under General Wright, together with detachments of artillery and engineers, were sent on board the transports. These were the troops which accompanied the re eohneissauce in force, on the left bank of the Savannah river, on the 2Sth of January. Owing to the dependence of naval movements on circum stances quite beyond the control of man, on. wind and tide, no co-operation was accomplished between this force and the fleet until the 27(h of February, the troops, mean while, remaining huddled on these transports or hastily bivouacked on the shores of Warsaw bay. Finally, wind and weather, and everything else, were favorable, and, Com. Dupont commanding, nearly every vessel of the fleet sailed from Port Royal—tho I Vabash, Susquehanna, Flag, and at least a dozen of the smaller size. Just before the departure of the fleet, news was brought of the evaluation of Brunswick by the rebels, and this was thought, by General Sherman, to render the abandonment of Fernandina a foregone conclusion ; in consequence, he changed his original plans of accompanying the expedition, and entrusted the command of the land forces to Brig. Gun. 11. Q. Wright. Com. Dupont, however, persisted in the intention of going southward. Capt. C. If. Davis, the fleet captain, accompanied him, and all the superior officers of the fleet. They appeared off Fernandina on tho 2d of March. Fort Clinch, a oasemated work, lies on tho outer side of Cumberland Sound, and protects the main approach to Fernandina, a few miles in ward. There is, however, a back channel around Cumberland Island, on the northern side of the Sound, through whioh it was hoped that the larger vessels of tho fleet might be gotten, for it wa3 known to be impossible to take heavy draught ships over the bar in tho Sound According, ly, tho attempt was made to penetrate through the back ohannel, but even the vessels of least draught found it difficult tO get through, some of the smallest gnnboats re peatedly running aground; but, eventually, six or seven of these succeeded, led by tho Ottawa, Sene ca and Pembina. There were batteries command ing this channel, but they had been abandoned, and no opposition whatever was made to the progress of the gnnboats, exoept that as tbs Ottawa, whioh penetrated farthest, came in sight of a party of fu gitives, they directed a fow musket shotsj towards her. She replied by a shell or two, and scattered the fragment of an enemy that offered the .only show of fight at the occupation of Fernandina. Two boys were killed at this time, ashore. No other casualties are known to have occurred,. Meantime the larger vessels, all but the Wabash ’hnd Susquehanna, had met with a similar expe rience in the harbor proper; Fort Clinch was dis covered to be evacuated, as well as other Works whioh had all been well manned. Every gun that remained (they were fourteen in number) was spiked, end no prisoners were made; but not a gun was fired. A railroad train about leaving was stepped by a shell, and £&sst of the passengers brought back; they were nearly all women and children, wbo returned to their bouses. Senator Yulce is said to have been among those in the train, who escaped through the woods. Tho population, it is said, were unwilling to abandon the town, but the military authorities insisted ; the latter intending to burn the houseß on the next day. It was told by the few Floridians who remained, fhst the evacuation was made in consequence of orders from the rebel Government; at any rate, there can be no doubt that an obstinate and bloody resistance might easily have been made. Our troops were landed on tbe4>h and sth of March; the two towns of Fernßndina and old Fernandina, as well as the hamletof St Mary’s, are all occupied, but the place is inoonßiderable in size, its principal importance arising from the conneotion by railroad with Cedar Keys, on the opposite side of Florida. The entire population was not more than a thousand in number. The harbor is inaccessible to large ves sels, and only its position so near the entrance t» the Gulf of Mexico, and to the West Indies, could have suggested the establishment by onr Government of a fort. Fort Clinch had one tier ?f CSSflmatoa al» ready finished when the war broke out, and it was seized by tho rebels. This is the first time in the war that they have had the advantage of a case mated fort, against any absolute advance of our forces, but even such protection failed to inspirit them. A week ago Gen. Butler made hie appearance at this place, very much to his own dissatisfaction and our surprise. The Mtirsisstppiy which was conveying him &hd & pdriioh of His reinforcements, rail ashore on Frying-Pan Shoals, off the coast of North Caro lina, and was'so much Injured as to be obliged to put in here two days subsequently. She lies at geabrook, some six miles off the Port Royal river, on this island, and her troops are enoamped there. The Mississippi oannot be got ready for sea with* out much overhauling, and Gen. Sherman has sent Gen. Butler the Matanzas, which will transport him, with a portion of his troops, to their destina tion} the oibers will follow speedily, either in the Star of the South or the Atlantic. Mr. Edward L. Pierce, with fifty assistants, ar arrived here by the Atlantic last week, to assume control of the negroes in this oommand. Among those who accompanied him are a dozen or morn young ladies, who will act as teachers. Mr. Pierce is to be general superintendent, and the Her. Mr. French will supervise the religious and educational training Of the blacks, The headquarters of this party will be at Beaufort. Most of Us members are said to be violent Abolitionists, and openly to pro claim that they will preach emancipation to the slaves, as well as the doctrine that every black haa a right to arm himself, and incite his fellows to a servile insurrection. If this bo so, Gen. Stevens, in whose command they are established, will have agreeable Neighbors. He, it will be remembered, was the chairman of the Berkinridge Democratic Committee, little more than a year ago, and though LOW demonstrating his pklriitidin lly fighting the enemies of his country in the field, believes that he is fighting for the Constitution. The authority of this new commistion is tbns set forth in an order of ficn. Sherman, which I append. [The following is the order referred to by our correspondent.—Ed. Press.] GENERAL ORDERS, No. 17.

As I lad expeoted, we got safely through with our tritalations, on Wednesday, the sth iust., and after a| pleasant run down Cumberland Sound, reaehedthe bay at 8 A. M., and at 8 45 oame to anchor ja Amelia river, off the town of Fernandi na. Mfoh to our surprise, we found the “ stars and str^os” Seating oyer Fort Clinch; the fleet anchoret in the stream; the town almost totally deserted ; and our troops marching through the streets. All our preparations for a grand fight, and difficulties encountered in the passage of the sounds, [which were made in order to flank them,) were h((h psins aml labor lost ; not a gun was fired. Thojrelsla ran like sheep, leaving defences of a very superior nature, ten or fifteen heavy eolum hiads, md a rifled cannon, and a large amount of ammuA'ion. It is thought by many army and navy offers here, that they could have made ft very powerful if not effectual resistance, although the appoach of our vessels by the inland route was a nensure well calculated to disconcert and overcome them; certain it is that our shipping weald love suffered most severely in an attempt to run she gauntlet. A description of the locality and itafortifications may convey some idea of its strength. Theentrance to Fernandina harbor lies between two istmds, Cumberland on tho north, and Amelia on the south; it is quite Qitrro tr, nut more than three-fourths of a mile from shore t March 11, 1662. j As soon bo Fernandina and St. Mary’s were] pro perly guarded and garrisoned, Brunswiok, on St. Simon’B Sound, Ga., and Jacksonville, on this river, began to attract attention ; and on Saturday last, tha Bth inst., two small fleets were despatched, simultaneously, from Fernandina for these paints. The fleet destined for Brunswick, composed of the Mohican, Com. Gordon; Pocahontas, Lieut. Commanding Balch; James Adger, ; Pa tumslca, Lieut. Commanding Watmough, and U. B. steamer McClellan, Captain Gray, with tbe'bat talioo of marines aboard, and revenue yaoht Hen rietta in tow, left the flag-ship, in tbe offing, at noon, and in less than an hour were “ hnll down.” The second squadron was formed of vessels of lighter draught and greater efficiency, viz; the Ottrnai (aoting flag.ship,) Lieut. CWmandlug Stevens ; Seneca, Lient. Commanding Ammon J Pembina, Lieut. Commanding Bankhead"; Huron, LieuL-Gommanding Downes; Isaac Smith, Lient. Commanding Nicholson; Ellen, Lieut. Command ing Budd, and tbe transport Boston, with 600 of the Fourth New Hampshire Regiment, under Cel. Whipple, aboard. This fleet was detained several hours, waiting for the Wabash’s launches and cutters, which wen ordered to accompany the expedition. /The two launches, in charge of Lieutenants Irwin and Barnes, and two cutters, under Master Lawson and Acting Master Kemp, were taken in tow by the gunboats, and, at P. M., all got nnder way, and headed for tire mouth of the St. John's river, seven leagues distant. At P. M., anohored off Nassau Inlet, and sounded over the bar, finding only lour feet of water. The boats from the VVaha.sk were sont ashore, and found two white men near the deserted earthworks. Being unarmed and non-combatants, they were allowed to remain. In returning, the surf ran SO high that tho boats were almost swamped. About BP. M., we again got nnder way, and ■teamed a few miles farther south, anchoring, in company, off St. John’s bnr. The next morning, the New Hampshire Regiment was divided among the men-of-war, one company to each, excepting the Ottawa, which carried two companies, the staff, band, and regimental “attaches.” Remainder of the day was spent is sounding out the channel, planting buoys, and making preparations to cross the bar, an opera tion very difficult for vessels drawing over ten feet of water. Owing to the heavy sea whiok broke from shore to shore, we were unable to cross that day. About 4.30 P. M. the Wabash and Bien ville hove in sight, and at 6 o’clock anchored, and made signals for us to como out into deep water, fearing a gala from the eastward. Ail night the wind blew very fresh, and next day the swell was greater than before. Nothing could now be done bnt await the eccentrio actions of the elements. The rolling of the crowded vessels wag very un pleasant, and more than one Granite State soldier was caught feeding the fishes—a demand old Nep tune seldom fails to make on country stomachs. On Sunday afternoon the launches were sent to draw the fire of two batteries distinctly visible on the south side of the entrance, commanding the ohm. nel. These fortifications were found to oontain two guns each, which had been spiked and deserted that morning, by a company of infantry (eighty in number) under a Capt. Steele, of Jacksonville. They left a placard offering to engage us man for man, but admitting cue Supfe&iwjy ia power and num bers. Although vastly their superiors in strength and resources, they could have held ns at bay for a long time, a bend in the narrow channel rendering it necessary for us to 'pass within musket-shot of their guns, without room for mancouvring. Those batteries, like those at Nassau, and, in faot, all such structures along the coast, were built by the negroes last summer, and have been used princi pally to protect the ingress and egress of privateers, and vessels running the blockade; one of the latter, a schooner, left hero only a week ago. She was chased and fired upon by one of our steamers, when coming in, but escaped unharmed. Sunday night, the Boston returned to Feraan dina for commissary stores; and the Bienville left on a cruise. On Monday we steamed into tho bar again, and at 3 P. M.. the Ellen succeeded in crossing, and passing safely up to the anchorage. Tuesday found ns waiting for a high tide and calm weather. Daring the day the wind shifted to south and east, thereby raising the tide sufficiently for our purposes. After another examination of the passage, it was determined to try it at high water in the afternoon. Every one was impaliont and anxious—impatient to enter the river, and anxious lest tho water might foil us the attempt. At 3 P. M. tho Ottawa troighad anchor, and, heading for the bar, started at full speed. Her engines were taxed to their uttermost; ail hands sent forward to put the ship on an even keel, and two trusty helmsmen stationed at the wheel. From the other vessels our progress was watched with breathless interest. Their success depended upon ours; and as the orescent waves rolled up and receded, we momentarily expected to see bar “letdown” on the hard-beaten sand; bat a few moments decided her fate. “ Helm fl-sturboard! ” and she was safe. The Seneca and Pembina fol lowed immediately, then the Isaac Smith, and by 4.30 all were lying at anchor off Mayport, a small cluster ef houses, two and a half miles from the bar. These houses are all wooden, and many of them nearly buriad by,the fine, white sand, which is drifted about in a gale like snow, forming large banks and monnds. The inhabitants (a week Bgo), were mostly watermen, store and light-house keepers. Near "Mayport saw-mill,” the largest structure, we noticed a great deal of valuable sawed lumber. On the opposite side, four or five neat little houses constitute “Pilot-town,” the headquarters of St. John’s bay and river pilots. This place we shall long remember, from its having supplied ns with a bountiful atook of sweet pota toes, peanuts, &o. Both places were totally de serted, not a human being remaining. About nine o’olock, Tuesday night, two white men came along side the Pembina in a canoe, stating that they wished to communicate some important Information to the commanding officer. They were sent to the Ottawa, One of them was formerly a maintop* man in the U. S. eloopof war Preble, and tho other an Englishman. Both had residod here some time. To-morrow wc expect to go to Jacksonville. Of our trip and reception, I wilt try and send you an account. “ Chxstbp.. l ’ The Occupation of Jacksonville—lnteresting Particulars. [Special correspondence of The Preiii] Unite® States Steajiee Pembina. ) Jacksonville, Fla., March 13, 1862. j The United States steamer Isaac Smith leaves at two o'clock for Fernandina or Port Royal. I have bnt a few moments to writo, and, therefore, I will have to make this as brief as possible, Yester day morning, ’at seven o’olock, we left Mayport, and, at noon, anohored off Jacksonville. Our pro gress was necessarily slow, as the channel is very intricate. The passage up was one grand ovation’; the people turned out “ on masse” at every plan tation, and greeted us with cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. Very few houses about Mayport were'deserted, and nearly all had large white flags floating in front. At Jacksonville our reception was not so gratifying; large crowds of the people congrogated on the wharves, but refrained from any pnblio expression of tboir feelings. They looked, to use a localism, “jnst as if they couldn’t help it.” The wh?!? tm is in cur possession, and the troops are landed and pickets posted. Three thou sand rebels are at Baldwin, eighteen miles from here, and five hundred skirmishers and scouts a few miles back from the town. The more rabid Se cessionists have Had, httfc ftfi&rly two-thirds of the people remain. The majority are Northerners, who came here years ago, grew wealthy, purchased property, and are now between two fires in their efforts to protect and retain It. The night before we came here the rebels burn ed nine immense saw mills, the property of Messrs. Gilchrist, Fairbanks, Hartridge, Milman, Wilson, Alaop, Buokman, and Scott—all Northern men. One large mill was saved by the owner claiming protedUe& under and hoisting the British dag. One French ensign was found flying oyer a store in the town. Time has elapsed. Pardon brevity. I will send details first chance. ’‘CHESTER.” FROM FORTRESS MONROE. A FLAG OF TRUCE. PARTICULARS OF BUCHANAN’S DEATH. THE ELECTION. visit of the Assistant Secretary or War. Departure of the Suwanes for Hatteras. TRIAL OF A NEW PROJECTILE. [Correspondence ot The Press.] Fortress Monroe, Maroh 19,1862. The Rtncocas went to Craney Island to-day, un der a flag ef truce, to take despatches. She brought no papers. The only important item of Southern news is a confirmation of the rumor of the death of Bu chanan, the oommander of the Merrimac. He was severely wounded in the thigh in the aetion of Saturday week, and waa assured by his Burgeons that amputation would most probably be peoossary. Buchanan shrank from ike operation, but, knowing that by eQBh a course only could there be a chance of saving his life, he finally consented, £. The amputation was performed two or three inches below the hip joint, but the shock upon his system was too great, and he died upon the follow ing day. The election hold here last week has resulted in the election of Hon. Joseph Segar, by what may be termed si considerable majority, comparatively speaking. The aggregate vote was Tery small. . Thomas A. Scott, Assistant Secretary of lfar, is here on business connected with the department. The Suvxmee sailed for Hatteras last evening. She took a large cargo of stores, etc., for the soldiers. This afternoon the Sawyer gun on the Rip Raps was agsin discharged against the rebel battery at Sewell’s Point. Inquiry developed the feet that a new projectile was being tried. The oompoaltiou of the projeotile is, oi course,'* secret, but I learn that it is a common shell but partially filled with an explosive horning compound, the remaining space being filled witb powder. A fuse is then in serted as in sn ordinary shell. The dtsohargo of tbe gun ignites the fuse,which explodes, the powder bursting the shell and scattering the fiaming com position for yards around. Woods can be set on fire, and thus the rebel foxes be unearthed. The weather is cool, and a stiff breeze is blowing. A few bats since a bag containing the through mail waa lost on the prairies between Vermillion end Tftnkton, Dakota, in a snow storm, and was dug up out of the snow by wolves. They tore off tbe Btrap and damaged the bag, but, not having a letterary appetite, did, not devour the contents. TWO CENTS. OUR WESTERN CORRESPONDENCE. interesting Letter from Nashville. The Present Condition of rtw CRy. A DESCRIPTION OF ITS PRINCIPAL INSTITUTIONS. The Sentiment of the People of the City. (Special Correspondence of The Press.] NasnviLLß, Tenn., March 15, 1862. There here bees so many careless letters written from this city, by Cincinnati correspondents, that I hare deemed it expedient to look around for a day rather than rush an epistle to Philadelphia devoid of lacts; and as I hero boon rery fortunate, in my peramljiilßUons, in obtaining information of a cha racter calculated to attract attention, let me assure you that I feel gratified in preparing it for perusal, Nashville is situated upon the south bank of the Cumberland river; the site is undulating and rock y, and is surrounded by a rich and productive country. The soonery, from the hank or frem tha Capitol, is beautiful and picturesque, and the most lovely landscapes meet the eye in every direction. The Capitol, particularly, presents a most pleasant and delightful view- In 1323 the population of the place whs 3,460, and at preaent it is abont 37,000, The University of Nashville stands upon one of the most commanding eminences in tha city or sur rounding oountry, known as College Hill, and tha location is also one of the most attractive to be found here. This University has boon in eiistenoe for a period of seventy-five years, and is therefore one of the oldest seats of learning in the oonntry. It covers an area of seventeen acres, and cost $500,000. Tbo female Seminary, I am informed, is anQgftf popular institution, and also one of the oldest end most renowned in the United States. It was esta blished in 181 C, and, np to the time of the rebellion, enjoyed uninterrupted prosperity. The buildings are commodious and convenient, and enjoy every advantage furnished by the city and country. In addition to tha educational facilitlee above mentioned, there are numerons seleot private and publie schools and academies in and abont the oity. The State Capitol, situated upon an imposing emi nence, is one of the most oompleuly-fiaishad edi fices within my knowledge. It is an honor to the genius of the distinguished architect, Mr. Strick land, (deceased,) the original designer of the eleva tion of Girard College. The city purchased the ground upon which it is located from the lion. G. tv. Campbell, for the sum of $36,000, and presented it to the State as a free gift. The penitentiary is located in the eVtreme south ern portion of the city. It is quite a large build ing, and, although I did not go inside, I am informed that it is capable of accommodating four hundred and fifty convicts. The Protestant Orphan Asylum, the Asylum for the Blind, State Lunatic Asylum, City Hospital, and House of Industry are all humane institutions, and, thanks to the State and private philanthro pists, are in & flemishing condition. The railroad bridge over the Cumberland, which was destroyed by Floyd, must have been an impoe ing structure. It was built for the joint use of the Louisville and Nashville, and the Edgefield and Ken tucky Railroads. Its length was 700 foot, in four spans, two fixed spans, one on each side, mad two draw spans. Eaoh fixed span is two hundred feet in the clear between the supports, and the clear opening of each draw span is one hundred and twenty feet, making it tha longest fallroad draw in the world. The total length of draw from one ex tremity to the other of the movable portion was two hondred and eighty feet, and Us entire weight was computed at two hundred and eighty-fivs tool. It could be readily turned into position by qqs mao in four minutes, and by two or three in two minutes and a half. The oentre pier, on which the immense draw wss turned, is circular, 30 feet in diameter at top, 34) feet at bottom, 03) feet high, and con tains 2,295) perches of masonry. The eastern main pier is 75) feet high, and contains 1,2083 perches of masonry. The western main pier is TO) feet Wgb, containing 1,072) perches of masonry. The foun dations of all the piers are laid upon the solid rock, in water about twelve feet deep at ordinary low stage. The extreme rise of water at the bridge is forty-seven feet. The fine suspension bridge, which »« also de stroyed by Floyd, by Cutting the iron upon the Nashville aide, must hare been one of the greatest works of the kind in the United States. It was completed during the summer of 1350, The archi tect Woe a Mr. Heifiian. of this city, and the con tractor Captain M. JD. Field, brother of Cyrus W. Field, of Atlantic-cable celebrity. This fine bridge was about seven hundred feet tong, and its height was one hundred and ten feet above low water mark. Tbe Fire Department is a volunteer organisation, and is said to be quite efficient. There are some hulf-doien fire companies, end a hook and ladder company, comprising a lorce amounting in ths ag gregate to about six hundred members. The city enjoys the benefit of an extensive water works, gas manufactory, five cemeteries, and num bers of fine buildings, and extensive manufacturing establishments are to be seen on every hand. Tbe worst feature ef the city is the hotels, which are very poor, indeed, made exceedingly so by the in jury Kashville has sustained by participating in the rebellion. One year ago there were twenty newspapers pub lished in the city ) bow there is not half that num ber, another damning evidence of the bad effects of rebellion. Nashville has been the scene of many political excitements in the way of Secession. On the 27th of May, 1803, Aaron Barr arrived in Nashville, and was the gueßt of Andrew Jackson. A public dinner was given him, and he was caressed and toasted by every one. He came again on the 16th of August, of tbe same year, and had great b9B«r sad attention paid him, and wu again the guest of the hero of New Orleans. But this time his schemes began to be developed, his name be came odious, and he was burned in effigy by the citizens in the fall ef 1806. In 1832, the highest state of political excitement existed here on tho subject of nullification. Mr. Calhoun’s position, backed by the State of South Carolina, where Secession wss openly avowed, cre ated an excitement in Nashville never before wit nessed. A great Union meeting was held here on the 29th of Decombor, 1832. A gentleman, n,m M Hogg, offered the preamble and resolutions, de nouncing such a movement, and they were unani mously and enthusiastically adopted, after ipeeohOf from the prominent men of the City and Other por tions of the State. In the year 1861, upon the Monday evening fol lowing the fall of Sumpter, an important meeting took place, tbe whole orowd eiegiog, ihouting, and arguing, under tbe lead ef Gov. Foote and Isbam G. Harris, for the same disastrous sentiment which they had so contemptuously and unhesitatingly de nounced in 1832. Tbe same evening a committee, consisting of Mean. John Bell, Trimble, Houston, Rain, and others, assembled, and were to make known, at an appointed hour, whether they would concur in the Secession resolutions promulgated by Gov. Foote and bis crowd. These gentlemen not appearing at the appointed time, Foote, at the head of three thousand thonghtless men, betook them selves to the committee-room and demanded an im mediate concurrence in the odious resolutions, and the silvery-headed infants gently acquiesced. The country blushes to acknowledge the fact. We all are, unfortunately, acquainted with subsequent circumstances. The treason of John Bell ie the absolute eauso of the secession from the Union of the best State south of Mason A Dixon's line. God grant that her people may return to their alia gUttt at Aft cally day ! Gross misrepresentations of the sentiments of the people of Nashville have found their way into the newspapers of Eastern cities, emansting from the correspondents of Western journals. I saw a NashviUe letter yesterday, in a Cincinnati paper, which stated that no Union feeling existed here, and that the Northern people should not be de ceived. This is n most wicked reverse of facts. There are different sentiments entertained by the people here, whloh I will endeavor to explain : Tnere are hundreds of nneonditlonal Union men ; they turn np in many places; this class, by the dozen, to-day visited the capitol and congratulated Governor Johnson. There are thousands of " eon. ditionai ” Union men; but as thatstyia of patriot jam is not appreciated in the North, I may as well do them the honor to state the conditions : There ere many ignorant people who—let the blame reet with isboa Harris, the Confederate army, lb* heWJpapoM believe that the institution of slavory is to be tampered with, and that tbe Northern soldiers ere approaching with the sword in one band and the doctrine of jAboliUonism in tbe other, yot nsservatc thoir love for the Union if the protection to slavery oan be insnred, not for a mo ment bearing in mind that the Northern people have never violated' a constitutional act of any de scription. Then there ere a elaas of people who anticipate a defeat in this locality of the Federal army, and fear that, should they acknowledge fef Union cause, and tbe rebels again lake possession of tbe city, thoir dilemma would bo more unplea sant than before. Dollare and cents govern (hie class, notwithstanding, at heart, their preference* may be for the good old flag. The other poMlod, end thoy number not more than one half tbe people, are Seotssionisls. At present they have very little to say, and' their ranks sre being thinned daily, while a growing manifestation of love and devotion to the Constitution is perceptible. Tbe ladies, from what 1 1 oan understand and observe, are ail saucy Dininionistf-v But, then, they should be allowed to THE WAR PRESS.
