was looking well. He was, as always, for action, action, action. Our people went immediately to work to erect a battery on the former U. S. Hospital grounds. They have worked like men. It is superintended by Col. Talcott and Major Walton. The work will be completed as speedily as possible, and will command the approach to the harbor. The battery is composed of eight ten and eight-inch Dahlgreen guns, and will play the devil with the invader, if he dares approach us. On the opposite side, a little to the northeast of us, at the magazine of old Fort Norfolk, batteries are also erecting, under competent management. Gen. Walter Gwyan, our and your former citizen, has arrived from South Carolina, to take charge of military affairs here. Under such a gallant and efficient leader, educated at West Point, we have nothing to fear. Our march is onward and to conquer. I see victory already perching on our banners. All our military are out, and enthusiasm pervades our people.
