As 8ewell’e Point batter/ will encounter the

event of an attack, we. will take a more accu
rate peep iato it than wo have heretofore
dona. But let me premise bj ea/ing, it is
considered one of tba strongest dofenoea an/,
where along '.be coast. It is emphatieall/ a
sand battery—beginning just where tha ele
vation of tha beach oeaaea; ao that from a
hundred yards in front, it is impossible to dis
tinguish the battery from (he beach. There
are twelve fioe embrasures, ao oonstruolad
that eaoh gun can play upon a vaasai for three
or four yards as she passes. Only one of the
embrasures is empty. Through five protude
medium and long thirty two pounder, loaded
with solid shot—each gun weighing 5,700
pounds. Through the other six are pointed
tha savage mouths of 0 inch Dablgren Colutn-
biads, weighing 9,0 JO lbs. eaeb, and loaded
with 5, 10 and 15 seoond shell. These ean be
thrown from 1 to 8} miles, aooording to the
length of the fuse. We have two hundred of
these ship deetroyers 1/in* near tha battery,
and including them, twenty rounds to each
gun of shot nod grape. The powder oartridgos
are kept in air tight, water-proof, metalic car
tridge cane, recovered from the veaael sunk at
the burning navy yard. Tba onus are sunk
in sand. The magazine, just in the roar of
the baitery, and convenient to the guns, will
be finished in the early part of the ooming
week. The hot shot furnaoe ia working admir-
rably. It ia kept heated, night and day ; and
there is no minute when we are not ready to
throw, with terrible rapidity, thirty two
pounds of red hot iron into the vessel tbst
some from a eolder clime. With tht aid of
large gntta-peroha balls and lights, we com
municate signals from the signal etaff to Cra
ne/ Island, four miles above ue on the oppo
site side of the river—whence they are ratals-
graphed to Fort Norfolk, farther up on this
side, and thence to Norfolk and Portsmouth,
so that the news of an attack, the strength of
the attacking party, &c., can be sent to Nor
folk in five or ten minutes. The following
authentic scale of dietanoee will give you some
idea of our precise position : From Sewell's
Point to Fortrese Monroe, 4} miles; to Rip
Raps, 3 miles; Newport’s Noose, 5j miles;
to Bush’s Bluff 13 miles, and to Crane/ Island
4 miles.
Yesterday 20 23 pounders were sent to
some point in Georgia, Savannah we suppose,
and 23 42-pounders were sent to Gen. Bragg
from the Gosport Navy Yard. The gold of
Opbir was not ao valuable a possession to
Solomon as is this Navy Yard to the'Boutbern
Confederacy. For six weeks every train that
leaves has been loaded with gnus, and still
you cannot miss them. Aa you walk by the
long rows you count, and count, wearied with

And live or die for Dixie !” etc.
Now, I do oot wish to spoil a pretty illusion,
but the real truth ia that Dixie is an indigen-
oua Northern negro refrain, aa common to the
writer hereof es the lamp poata in New York
oity, seventy or seventy-five years ego. It
was one of the every day allusions of boys at
that time, in all of their out-door sports.—
And no one ever heard of Dixie'a land being
other than Manhattan Island until recently,
when it has been erroneously supposed to ro-
fer to the South from its connection with pa-
tbetio negro allegory.
When vlavsry existed in New York, one
Dixey” owned a large tract of land on Man
hattan Island, and a large number of slaves.
The inorease of the alavei and the increase of
the abolition sentiment oaused the emigration
of the slaves to more thorough and secure
elavee sections, and the negroes who were
(hue eent off (many being horn there) netur
ally looked back to their old homes, where
they had lived ia olover, with feelings of re
gret, aa they could not imagine any place like
Dixey’e. Hence it beoame s/aenymetis with
an Ideal locality, combining ease, oomfort and
material happiness of every description. In
those days the negro singing and minstrelsy
were in their infancy, and anv subject that
eonld be wrought into a ballad was eagerly
ploked up; this was the ease with “ Dixie.”
It originated in New York, and attained the
proportioni of a song there. In its travels it
has been enlarged, and has “gathered mote
it has picked up a “note” kere and there ; a
“ chorus” bee been added to it, and from an
indistinct “chant” of two or three aotee, it
baa become on elaborate melody; bat that it
ie not a Southern eong “ cannot be rubbed
out,” the fallacy ie eo popular to the oontrary
that I have thus beet at paias to state the
real origin •! U. P.

—Miss Muloch says. “ A lady of my aequain
tance gives it as her «im qua non ot domest'e
felicity, that the 'men of the family should be
absent at least six hours in the day.' And
truly, a mistress of a family, however strong
ber sffeciion for the male members of it,
oannot but acknowledge that this is a great
boon. A house where ‘papa’ or the 'boys’are
always 'pottering about,’ popping in and out
at all hours, everlastingly wanting something,
or finding fault with something else, is a con
siderable trial to even feminine patience.—
And I beg to ask my sex generally—in con
fidence of course—if it is not the greatest com
fort possible when the masculine half of the
family being cleared for the day, the house
settles into regular work and orderly quiet*
ness until evening ? Also, it is good for them
as well ae for us, to have all the inevitable
petty domestic 'bothers,’ got over in their ab*
aeooe ; to effeot which ought to be one of the
principal aims of the mistress of a family. ■*.
Let them, if possible, return to a quiet smil
ing home, with all its small annoyanoes brush
ed away like the dust and cinders from the
grate—wbioh, en passant, is one of the first
requisites to meke a fireside look comfortable.
It might be aa well too, if the master himself
could contrive to leave the worldly mud of the
day at the scraper outside hie door.”
Furthkk Outrages at Hampton.—When
the vandals from the North ocoupied Hamp
ton, an officer with a squad of men went to
the store of Mr. P. Lattimer, and demanded
possession. Mr. Lattimer replied that be bed
purchased and paid for hie atock of goods,
and the offioer might have them at Heir val
uation. The officer said he would have the
goods and etore and not pay a cent for them,
and drawing his aword slapped Lattimer with
it on the face. Lattimer then drew a revol
ver and fired it, when the officer fell. He then
leaned over the counter and fired three more
shots in ths body, causing death. Lattimer
was, of course, captured, and taken to Old
Point and hung on Friday last.
The officer killed is said to be a Lieutenant
in one of the companies, and distinguished
for military abilities. He has met a dog’s
death in a dog’s cause.
Mr. W. C. Marrow, of Hampton, was also
treated in a moat shameful andindeoent men-
He was captured in the town, having
hie uniform on, stripped Hark naked, maroh-
ed through the streets in that condition, and
then carried to Fort Monroe, ae a prisoner.—

Doll Phtsiologt.—Two little girls, one re

were ene day bewailing their domeatio misfor
tunes in mock maternal language.
Where is your dolly ?” asked pink ribbons
of her neighbor.
Dear me, didn’t 1 tell you Y” answered
blue; “ wby she's got the meaiels dreadfully.
Her face Is spotted all over.”
Well, I don't think she’s as sick as my
dolly,” said pink ; '* only think, I've had a
consultation of thirty doctors for her, and they
didn’t do her any good. I’ve had to buy ber
a new gown, sbe's so miserable,” (not the first
misery a new gowa has brightened up,) “she’s
got the consumption.”
0 ! that’s dreadful bad ; doe* she cough
much ?” asked the other, with an air of great
solioi'.ude.
All the time—and keeps me awake eo
much of nights.”
But why don’t you take her out ? The
air will be good for her lnnge.”

admirably assumed intensity of feeling, “ my
dolly hasn't got a bit of lnnge, she only
breathes through her noee.”
