e. This encampment we called camp Wadsworth. A branch of this camp was shortly after formed on a farm of rebel Means near by. A week later we organized the two encampments — Camp Todd, where General Casey had his encampment formerly, near by Fort Albany, and Camp Beckwith on McVay's and Jackson's farms, near Lewinsville. The number of the several encampments on June thirtieth is as follows: Camp Springdale, three hundred; Camp Todd, two hundred and thirty; Camp Rucker, one hundred and five; , and the promise of ample remuneration is cheering. I would suggest that the good of these people could be best secured by having the women and children remain at Camps Springdale. and Todd, the last being just under the fortifications of Fort Albany, or at least the outside of defence of that fort, while the former is inside the fortifications, and send only a sufficient force of men to the outposts with a proper guard, and return each Saturday night, and go back to their work on Monday m

On both occasions the officers of the guards, though aware of our positions, said they had no discretion. On the 30th, Assist. Adj.-Gen. Williams telegraphs Gen.

rees are in full bloom. eyes were directed to General McClellan, whose successes had already made him a marked man, and under the direction of that able organizer a more secure feeling immediately appeared. He directed the immediate completion of the fortifications of the city, and also bent his energy to organizing the great Army of the Potomac. Once the positions on the right bank of the Potomac were reasonably secure through the works just mentioned and such additional defenses as Fort Albany, Fort Scott, and various lines of connecting fortifications, attention was given to the Washington side of the river. In the summer and autumn the Potomac is fordable at points not far above Washington, and as the river became lower apprehension increased that the victorious foe, who still rested at Manassas, would avoid the works on the Virginia side, cross above Georgetown, and attack from the Maryland side of the city. To meet the emergency, works were hurriedly thrown up without tha

lt there. The exports are provisions, furs, tar, and lumber. The imports of English manufactures amount to £ 50,000 yearly. The customs, excises, and quit-rents do not nearly suffice for the public expenses. The chief trading-places are New York and Southampton on Long Island for foreign commerce, and Albany for Indian traffic. There are about 2,000 males able to bear arms, 140 of them horsemen. Fort James at New York is a square of stone with four bastions, mounting forty-six guns; Fort Albany at Albany is a small stockade with four bastions and mounting twelve guns, sufficient against the Indians. Ministers are scarce and religions many, so that there are no records of marriages or births in New York.
