From Pensacola.

--A letter received at this office from Pensacola, dated June 14, says:

‘ "There were near ten thousand of us who en vied the Georgia and Louisiana Regiments and Zouave Battalion their superior fortune in being ordered to the field of glory in Virginia. Many are still hoping to follow them at an early day.

"As an indication of our health — since we left home, over two months since, the regiment has lost but one member by death.--There are rumors of yellow fever in Fort Pickens; but whether true or not, I cannot say."

’
