SAVANNAH AND IT8 DEFENCES
ROUT PMLAHKI.
Tho city is guarded on its sew approaches by
Fort Pulaski, built on Cockspur Island, fourteen
miles from Bnvannnh, .it the moutftof the Savan-
nah river. The site of the fortMIratlon'jvoH se
lected by Major Babcock, of (he United States
Engineer corps, about twenty-six years ago, but
it was not till 1K31 that the work of crecttug the
present massive masonry fortllication was com
menced in earnest. In that year Captain Mans
field, now Colonel Mausfiuid, of the Inspector-
General’s Department, took clidrgo of its con
struction. Tho fort was tiuishud a few years
ago, at a cost of $1H18,000. The fort is of a pen
tagonal form, covering several acres; its walls
are forty feet high, and present two faces on the
sea approach, with ranges of tire radiating at
opposite auglcs. The fort is embrasured on
the front mid channel Bide for one row of
guns under bomb-proof casemates, with an
additional tlor of guns open or en barMte. The
salient points and flanking approaches in
tho rear % of the work have no embrasures
by enfilading musket t loop-holes, which
renders a land or escalnding attack extra hazard
ous to an enemy. The full armament of the
fort, when it shall have beeu brought within its
walls, will consist on the lower tier of sixty five
thirty-two pounder iron pieces, and the upper
t^er with fifty-throe twenty-four pounders, four
eighteen pounder tln'nking howitzers, one thir
teen inch mortar, twelve o)|fht-incli.Columbiftd*,
and seven ten-inch mortars—iu all, one hundred
and fifty guns. We understand, however, that
not more than one-half the numter of guns re
quired tor its full armament are in the fort, and
these are dismantled. Tho C'oluinbiads, to which
reference barf been made, ure very destructive
weapons, of long range, and adapted to use
spherical shot or shells. Mnuy of those now in
Fort I'uluski can lie mounted to have a horizon
tal tire of one hundred and eighty degress, and a
verllc.ul tire of five degrees depression to thirty-
six degrees elevation. The interior*iof the fort
Is well supplied with massive furnaces for heat
ing .shot, officers’ quarters, soldiers’ barracks,
magazines, and a tolerable supply of shot aud
lor heavy cannon, but are thoroughly covered powder. In the cut above the small black figure

than the present, und wc iniuglne that tho new
Ten Shot Revolver of Mr. Lindsay, exhibited to
us yesterday, would find ready sale even if it
wore not, as it certainly is, superior to anything
which lias preceded It. It is very much nftcr the
model of Colt’s “ five-shooter,” but Is capuble
of tiring ten shots instead of five. It is of most
Ingenious crfnstruction, the satuu size as Colt's
Revolver, and quite ns simple lu its operation us
that weapon. There are five chambers for the
reception of the powder and bull, and two ham
mers. Two cups are presented at each revolu
tion qLlhe cylinder, but the hammers are so Ar
ranged that hilt oue is pulled down at the time,
exploding one of the caps uud 111 lug off one ol
the charges, of which there are two lu cuch
chamber. The Huger is then removed for a sin
gle instant from the trigger, when the other
hammer can lie pulled down, driving out the
other charge. Tho pistol is then cocked again,
causing tho cylinder lo revolve and prcscut two
more caps, which are exploded in the same way.
This weapon has been thoroughly testc^ lu
Charleston, from which city Mr. Lindsay last
comes, and is universally prouounccd among the
best and most reliable fire-arm repeaters at pres
ent offered to the public.
Thu lew now in Savannah may he secu aud
purchased at the hardware store of Mr. F. W,
Cornwell. It is Mr. Lindsay’s intention to
get out a full :.upply of them, as soon us practi
cable. In the meantime we advise our readers
to call ni Mr. C'oknwki.l’s and examine this ad
mirable weapon.
The Feeling in the Northwest.
VVn are permitted to make the following ex
tract from a letter received by a gentleman in
this city from Chicago, III., dated Jau. Iff:
“Events are hastening us fast; perhaps ere
this lunches you the straw which hr/>ke the cam
el’s hack will have been laid upon the South—
i. e., a persistent aqd determined refusal upon
the ’part of the anti-slavery sentiment, of tha
North to yield one lota to tho requirements of
the South. Such unquestionably will he the re
sult. If so, disunion is inevitable; iMvil war im
minent. In such an event my duty is clear, and
cost whnt it may—save honor—tuy lot is east
with the South.
“I deeply depruente the precipitancy with
which she has, nud still is, acting, but much us 1
deplore it, my purpose Is to stand by her in the
hour of her danger. Nor am laloue^n this re
solve ; our State is (at; from beiug a unit on the
question. Our Democracy—tho Douglas, and
only Democracy in the State—seems resolved
that, let worse couio to worse, they will never
permiL a body of men lo leave this Stum with
the intentiou of coercing the South into an un
willing Unlou. Onr Southern friends may rest
assurred that the Democracy of tho Northwest,
yea, the very men whose leader (Douglas) they
have so much misunderstood, viffitied and
nbused, will ua’tr, while life lasts, permit au
armed foreo, for luvasive purposes, leuvo our
soil, save it bo over our dead bodies.
This we have resolved on, uud we are this
day prepared to prevent It,
Mir motto Is, *Coerdou is war—war is dis
union. Certain, inevitable, sure.” Wc are for
Luiou; we arc. lor concessions; but if neither can
bo had, wouro for the Houth.
“The local effect which conflicting opinions is
bringing about is very sensibly felt. So decided
is the differcuco between the Republicans and
Democrats on “the question of “Coercion,” that
they carry it oven into their social and business
relations to the people of the city. Hence, in, as-
mucb os I have taken quite an active part iu de
fence of Southern Rights, I am made a mark for
their damnable fanaticism, and am quite freely
assured, that in the event of disunion and war,
