rits at having escaped from an imminent risk of visiting Fort Lafayette. He was set adrift in a small boat, with Mr. Fernandez, of this city, and a captured sailor of the schooner Isilda, who happened to be a Maltese, at sea, five miles off Fort Livingston. They rowed to the fort and came up from Barataria in the little steamer Bee. Last evening they reported themselves to General Lovell, at the army headquarters. Dr. Lefebvre was on the schooner Joseph H. Toone, (recaptured by Commodorred the fleet in the sauciest manner imaginable. During the recent storm on the coast two of the enemy's pilot boats, the Frolic and the John Burner were blown ashore, and burned up by their crews. Dr. Lefebvre likewise informs us that Fort Livingston, where he landed in the small boat, is a truly formidable affair, with a heavy armament, and in a state of complete preparation to resist a naval attack. Dr. Lefebvre informs us that it was the current report in the fleet that the capta

It is obvious we have in our midst men who are in constant communication with the enemy, whom they supply with newspaper, and post up about every one of our military movements and measures. The attentive of General Lovell was called to this fact and by an order issued yesterday he informed the public no passes would be granted henceforth to go to the Bay of St. Louis. But Ship Island is not the only place near our coast where the Northerners communicate with the traitors. Near Fort Livingston, for instance, there are seamen who, under the plea of going to se for fish or oysters, pay now and then a visit to the blockading vessels. The evacuation of Romney. A letter to the Lynchburg Republican from Winchester, Feb. 8th, says, that the evacuation of Romney, Va., emanated from the War Department, and that it was not done in consequence of any apprehended movement of the enemy. From the same source we learn that Gen. Loring left Romeny in a somewhat hurried manner, lea

s epitaph is better than a Vassall land with honor lost and a people sunk in infamy. Earl Van-Dorn, Major-General. Attempt to Run the blockade. The New Orleans Bulletin says: The steamer Victoria, Capt. Forbes, appeared off Fort Livingston at the entrance to Barataria Bay, on Tuesday night, and in attempting to run in got aground in the Swash Channel, a mile distant from the fort. On Wednesday morning the United States steamer South Carolina hove in sight and taking a positio, about two hundred shells had been fired by the enemy, but not one struck the Victoria, most of them falling short. The cargo of the Victoria is a valuable one, consisting of arms, powder, and coffee, and as the vessel is under the guns of Fort Livingston and within range of the light artillery on shore, it is thought the enemy will not be able to capture it. A party left here last evening to go to the assistance of the Victoria. The telegraph has since announced the safe arrival of the

e few days ago. It proves conclusively one or two the right — either that the writer was aborting under a hallucination as regarded the 11th vol. ownership of Fort Livingston, or the one had just emptied the bottle to which he included his "feast of reason and flow of soul." We are rather inclined to favor the "Juniper" theory: "U. S. Ship South! Carolina, Off Fort Livingston, Nov. 26, 1861. "This ship he share for the purpose of protecting United States property.

e taken from the Guld, through West Bay, and this bayou, into the river at this point; but the ground in the neighborhood is no marshy that no foothold can be obtained for even infantry — This approach is also below Forts Phillip and Jackson. To the westward of the passes on the const of Louisiana is Bastian Bay, which is connected with the Mississippi by a small bayou, passable only to boats. Still further to the westward is Barataria Bay, the entrance to which is defended by Fort Livingston, a brick fortification consisting of one tier of casemate guns and a battery mounted en barbette. The fort is in good condition, well manned, but still it may be approached from the land side, and at the same time vessels drawing eighteen feet may approach to within two and a half miles, or easy range of the work. Vessels drawing nine feet may enter the Barataria Bay, which is fifteen miles long, Seven feet of water may be carried to the upparend of the bay, which connects with the Mis

It may be necessary to place some troops in the city to preserve order, though if there appears sufficient Union sentiment to control the city, it may be best for purposes of discipline to keep your men out of the city. After obtaining possession of New Orleans it will be necessary to reduce all the works guarding its approaches from the coast, and particularly to gain the Manchaca Pass. Baton Rouge, Berwick's Bay and Fort Livingston will next claim your attention. A feint on Galveston may facilitate the object we have in view. I need not call your attention to the necessity of gaining possession of all rolling stock you can on the different railways, and of obtaining control of the roads themselves. The occupation of Baton Rouge, by a combined naval and land force, should be accomplished as soon as possible after you have gained New Orleans; then endeavor to open your communication with the northern column o
