Hampton Roads (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 2
From the Florida Forts. The Brooklyn, which left Hampton Roads Friday for Fort Pickens, with two companies U. S. Artillery, is nearly at her destination by this time. Her entrance to the Bay is to be opposed by the allied troops. The Mobile News contains an interesting letter from the Navy-Yard at Warrington, Fla., from which the following is an extract; We of the Mississippi and Alabama Regiment, containing eight Mississippi and two Mobile companies, under Col. Abert, of Mississippi are quartered at the U. S. Marine Hospital, just opposite Fort Pickens, and about a mile and seven-eighths of a mile distant. Fort San Carlos de Barrancas is about half a mile south of our quarter. It is a mile and a half distant from Fort Pickens. Fort McCree is still further south, and is a mile and an eighth of a mile from Fort Pickens.--We are in possession of all the military positions except Fort Pickens. It is on Santa Rosa Island, which is forty miles long, and about one mile wide.
New England (United States) (search for this): article 2
Its present garrison consists, as far as we can ascertain with certainty, of 83 soldiers. Some sailors have been sent to it from the steamer Wyandotte and the storeship Supply. It is supposed that they could not spare more than fifty men. If this supposition is correct, the garrison does not exceed 133 men. A majority of this number are believed to be disaffected and averse to fighting us, but are compelled by military discipline. The commander of Fort Pickens is Lieutenant Slimmer, of New England. He is a very firm and brave man, as I am credibly informed. He will not surrender until he is compelled by an overwhelming force. It would be a violation of military rules to give a statement of our strength. We must humbug Slimmer, if we can. It is no secret about our strength in guns and batteries, for he can see them with his spy-glass. Slimmer has a beautiful young wife, and she is very spirited. She tells him to fight to the last.

It is on Santa Rosa Island, which is forty miles long, and about one mile wide. We can distinctly see the cannon on Fort Pickens from our piazza. Nearly all the guns have been shifted to the land side, and the most active preparations have been made for defence. Our preparations consist in four Dahlgren long thirty-two guns mounted at the Navy-Yard, to rake the Bay, and prevent any vessels from coming inside Fort Pickens.--At Fort Barrancas we have mounted about twenty-five 32-pounders.

At a proper time I shall make it public. We have killed one of Uncle Sam's soldiers in a rather amicable way. One of them was found at Fort Barrancas, when the Alabama troops took possession. He was not made a prisoner, but allowed to stay or go as he preferred. He chose to stay, and was bountifully furnished by the volunteers with victuals and bad whiskey. He went in strong on whiskey,
