g the work known as Fort Warren. Its situation is eminently commanding, and vessels to pass up the harbor must pass within a short range of its guns. The work has two tiers of guns--one in casemates and the other en barbelle. The guns in the casemates are eight-inch seacoast stand columbiads, and the barbette guns range from 32-pounders to eight-inch shell guns. The post is in command of Colonel Dimmick, United States artillery, an officer who, by his foresight and loyalty, saved Fortress Monroe from falling into the hands of the rebels. The garrison now consists of four companies of the Twenty-fourth Massachusetts Volunteers. The garrison will, however, be changed in the course of a few days, when it will be somewhat increased. A large number of the heavy guns of the fort are now in position, and artisans and laborers are very busy in putting it in a complete state of defence. The Imprisoned in Fort Warren--their condition.

adier, whose force had been undergoing some shelling from the saucy Confederate cruiser. To all intents and purposes the river is now closed, and the project of establishing mortar batteries on the Maryland side to shell the Confederates out of their works is not likely to be realized without some hard fighting. As affairs stand, it would be impossible for the latter to send over an army into Maryland without interruption, but the arrival of the flotilla from New York and Baltimore at Fortress Monroe, may tempt the Federalists to divert it, or part of it, to make a descent and turn the batteries, covered by the fire of their shipping. It may easily be imagined there is a general impression here that "something must be done;" but it is not so clear what the thing is to be, for the plain, straightforward way of solving all difficulties by fighting and beating the enemy is not in favor at present. No one is afraid, and every body is anxious for an action; but somehow there is a n

The Ruins of Hampton village. General Wool a few days since allowed several visitors at Fortress Monroe to cross over to the village of Hampton, or what remains of it. One of them has furnished the following account of its present appearance to a Philadelphia paper: The first objects that strike the eye of the beholder are scores of blackened and tottering chimneys, standing like mournful monuments of the desolation and ruin beneath.--Passing the outer picket guard of the Union troops at the opposite end of the bridge, we followed a scouting party to the distant end of the town, and observing that the coast was clear, proceeded to explore the ruins.--Hampton was a place of some importance; there is the Richmond turnpike which went through the heart of the place and formed the principal street. On this are the ruins of a bank, fine brick residences and spacious hardware, grocery, and other stores. On the outskirts of the town, on this street, stands the old Episcopal chur
