t is but one mile from this city, in a northwest direction. It was between this fort and Fort Nelson that the Constellation was anchored when the battle of Craney Island was fought. The Constellation was anchored off that island while the men were engaged in throwing up that fortification, but when it was complete, she hauled up and anchored in the stream as above stated. At that time a large number of troops were collected at this point, and Fort Norfolk was garrisoned under Gen. Robert B. Taylor, who was succeeded by Gen. Porter.--Troops continued to occupy this garrison until 1815, when peace was declared, and the soldiers allowed to return to their homes. Since that time to this, now forty-odd years, there has been no garrison at Fort Norfolk. The fortification is so constructed, the bastion and circle so complete, that it not only commands the channel of the river, but sweeps the whole country around in every direction. There are no casemates or embrasures in it, but a

But even this refusal would be unnecessary, as the foregoing views each of the idea of invading a seceded State. October 29, 1860. Winfield Scott.Gen. Scott, --In forts or on board ships-of-war. The great aim and object of this plan was to gain time — say eight or ten months--to await expected measures of conciliation on the part of the North, and the subsidence of angry feelings in the opposite quarter.

comes in our joke. When the Star of the West turned tail, and it became evident that she would approach no closer, the young fellows under orders became clamorous and eager for "a shot any how." "Well," says the Major, (Ripley,) jumping upon the parapet, "fire away, boys, but you'll all be in — in five minutes." The boys did fire; but the Major's prediction was not fulfilled. Major Ripley was twice brevetted for gallantry during the Mexican war. Condition of Fort Sumter. Sergeant Geo. McFadden, formerly a soldier in the United States Army, and who was one of the laborers recently sent away from Fort Sumter, gives an account of the condition of that fort very different from what generally obtains. The account is furnished to the New York Post: "Fort Moultrie was in a much better condition for defence than Fort Sumter; nearly all the guns were mounted, and everything was in apple-pie order, and the men in good condition; three days before we retired from Fort Moultrie

As to Missouri, Arkansas, and Mississippi, they would not stand out a month. Louisiana would coalesce without much solicitation, and Alabama, with West Florida, would be conquered the first winter from the absolute need of Pensacola for a naval depot.

To effect such result the intestine wars of our Mexican neighbors would, in comparison with ours, sink into mere child's play. A smaller evil would be to allow the fragments of the great Republic to form themselves into new Confederacies, probably four. All the lines of demarcation between the new Unions cannot be accurately drawn in advance, but many of them approximately ay.

The boundaries of the Pacific Union are the most definite of all, and the remaining States would constitute the Northeast Confederacy, with its capital at Albany.

All the lines of demarcation between the new Unions cannot be accurately drawn in advance, but many of them approximately ay. Thus, looking to natural boundaries and commercial affinities, some of the following frontiers, after many wavering and conflicts, might perhaps become acknowledged and fixed: 1. The Potomac river and the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic. 2. From Maryland, along the crest of the Alleghany (perhaps the Blue Ridge) range of mountains, to some point in the coast of Florida. 3. The line from say the head of the Potomac to the west or northwest, which it will be most difficult to settle. 4. The crest of the Rocky Mountains. The Southeast Confederacy would, in all human probability, in less than five years after the rupture, find itself bounded by the first and second lines indicated above, the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, with its capi
