j thu City Light Guard#, a* one of our most inter-
I eating and valuable pieces of furniture. Our
I friends may desire to look at it, however, and you
will please keep it for a while at your officu.
The targett unlubeloil piece sent, is a part of ft
I2inch bomb, shot at our tent# from a large #hip
yesterday, and which exploded within ten step# j
of ('apt. Colquitt and Lieut. Moffltt, a# they wore
looking out n safer locality for pitching our
efttnp*. Fine© Sunday, until this morning we
have had our tent within a hundred yards of
ihe Fort, but recent movements of the enemy,
luiiuoniahus that o must not sleep at the mer- ,
’ oy of diabolical assassin". One Moudny morn-j
ing a much larger boat than the Monticello (now j
tbo Star) came up near the point from whence j
the Monticello had dpne her firiDg the day before, j
and opened fire upon ns. During Sunday night
we had mounted two iuoh columbiad*; and u .
single response from one of than* warned ter that 1
; she had got in the w rong place. She had scarce
| ly dropped her anchor before he hauled, if up
| again, and got out of “harm’- wnv"a* rapidly .
possil le. We had an old and experienced ai
tilleryman at the guus, and either one of the i
four shots he aimed at her would have completes- I
ly disabled her il’ she had remained at the spot !
to which the guna were directed. She ‘hot
only twice, and as she was sailing rapidly, soon j
g-it away from the angle of our embrasure* }
i Both of her terrific bombs exploded very near i
| the fort, but did no harm. Phe wont immediate-
If across the channel to the point (Newport
| noose) which she has been blockading for more
: than u week the mouth of Jotaes River.
At noon, ye#torday we were surprised to nee
a little insignificant tug, one of the thing* that
| escorted the crippled Monticello off, coutc puffing
| up directly towards us, with just about the same
j air ofdeffiance with which you have often seen
| * little fice dog bristle* up to a huge air. After 1
j coming up the channel nutil she got within three
I quarters of n mile of our battery, she ran out
until she Hanked it and sent a whirsing bomb
! shell loaded w ; .th it# diabolical enginery of deutb
i right aero## ewf cauip, au*i,.u#t * el©w the .rcr (
lof the battery. Anticipating an eptilado fire
, from the enetav, we bad sent up two of out
rifled cannon to a natural fcrtfts#, and bad.ust
got them ready to totutc the Insolent little Van
j kee. Our first shot hit the water about 2i’ feet
| thu side of her, and glanced either too high or ,
| too low, to make it effectual, if it had struck i
her. nhe oouid never have swum out, as it wasgs ,
ing right straight midship* and ought to have
j taken her just )>'*arrpn 4 ‘wind and WHtcr.’ i i
j she earn© sdiell nut our camp and Fort, she j
made a poor bfcgiftftlng, and stopped much tWo j
■ acton, If the cams to gain uafyrnutiwu *>n® Its* j
I son at a time wu * all -he les<red to take. >he (

Fort where the two rifled cannon are planted. It
] U a portion of this shell that ha* been alluded to
already in tbi# letter.
j She win entirely beyond the range of the little
I guns up there; but, immediately her fire wu# re- j
! pounded tc* from Fort Beanregnard (now Fort
G wynn.j
j The heaviest gun wo have there is a piece oar- j
rying an neinch shell, which explode# iu ten ,
seconds. With these it was impossible to reach
her. The gnna were admirably manned, how- |
ever, and if their power had been mfteient, any
ona of the shots wo firud would have shattered |
her. Sh© threw only five bomba at ua and they
were all pretty well directed, though none of them ,
j hit the Fort or very near to it. We find six
sheila all of which exploded abort of tb mark
; some two or thru© hundrod yards.

which we viewed it, was beautiful and grand.- j

feet from tb water, at the moment that a beauti
ful column of black smoke was followed by the .
grandestnoiso you ever heard. When the firing
! had ceased she went leisurely buck again to b*r |
i post of sentry. We think this vessel must be the j
I’OUr Fatten. It is a much larger one than the |
Moutiaello. No demonstration has been made

Beautiful au l palatial mansion#, at short dis

that begirt* the beach from Newport's Nooso to

buildings on it, and with the nuked eye you mu
seo from here, immense piles of lumber and ship :
timber about the premise#- Tbo Fort here, in
also a very large one, and, although I am fiorry ‘
to express such an opinion, candor com pel# ,nc .
to say, that l don’t believe the united licet# of
the North and Mouth, could eves War up under 1
tho simultaneous fire from the Rip Rapsund For- ,

uo fleet would ever live to #wlm th rough Ham- j
ton Hoads.
Lieut. J. A. Fhinglar is just parsing me, w ith
u glass, and from a high point just ahead of iih,
the nearest point of land to the Fortress I will
furnish you n note of such observation of vanscl®
at be may make. (And, Just here, parenthetically
although it l*e, I beg to say, of our gallant 2d
Lieutenant, what l fully intended, hut omitted,
to say in both of last letters. In the uigHgu- j
moil of the Itßb, the conduct of none was more
gallant and brave than wa his. Ite worked
nobly nt the guns, nnd did hi# utmost, by pre

firing censed, he was mint by Unfit. LVquitt with

Lying close up under the frowning gun * of
the Fortress aud Rip Rap# are two large Haiti
moro end Norfolk steamers, which have been de
tained there for more thau two week-. There j
are 16 small sloops which have been overhauled
aud brought in. Two steam tugs, the same that

mouth of James river. The Monticello was con
cealed with canvas*, until three days ago, when
she was carried sea-ward,in Icurob (wepresume)
of helm lo l.ewl her many mortal wounds. There
are 4 gnu-boats ‘ schooner rigged) carrying one
long 32-pounder and two 12-pound howitzers,

of tho bay, since I have been writing, and
searoely au hour in any day pasiei that, the
waters of this beautiful hay ar® not disturbed with
the foul burden of abolition ships, frlevlited with
fouler abolition soldiers. Upon the bo om of this
lovely bay, God designed, and wr designed, should
float that Hoftlllla only, that carries the peaceful
commerce of the world. Will God allow a blin
d and fanaticism to lock up tho treasure# of this
transit from ns, and from all the world ‘ Hi#
singular and marvelous Interposition at Fort
.Sutnter, and at the more exposed and dangerous
encounter of last .Sunday, hath uttered an em
phatic no ! When such infernal engine* of death
as I sent you yesterday, wore falling among us
every few moments, and exploding at our very
foot, that setno groat, good Qod who ,#cnt th®

the name of Abral am Lincoln to go down in in

tho very latest day of timer One word from hi*
lips would havo brought tranquilhv and peace
and unending prosperity upon this (Janaan Land.
Rut hehaschoflun rather to “let slip the dogs of

the nethermost hell to which h t great sins will
sink him, in hi# cars will ring, anil ring, and
ring forevermore,,;* Ton huetc roue duty, but yon
did it not !'*
And now, I must quit toy “uiusing-spirit’#
ros*ing place—myh.no rosk by the Al
though the place posses*o# a peculiar charm for
too. I lovo to lock at the g and old Ocean as it
swings restlessly and unceasingly ogaiut this

forever chase each other, and go gamboling on ;
tiudihen the music is #o grand when tho ‘‘wild

The onemy havo made uo demonstrations
whatever, since I last wrote you. Night before
last a small steamer cauio down from Norfolk
and dragged out to shallow water the lust buoy
between us and the Fortress. Bo that when the
Minnesota visits us ugaiu, and sbo bus a stund
ingcordisl invitation to do so soou, she will have
to look well toher “longitude and latitude.” We
hare beuu working since her Inst visit, and wo
now have a few little Dablgreu gnaa mounted,
whose run o we are very auxius indeed to try,
provided wo can get the right sort of a target to
shoot at. P.EURILN.
P. S.—Since the above was written, it has boon
currently reported that Fortress Monroe has been
almost completely emptied of Its soldiery. Ills
rumored that inn#t of the soldiers quartered there,
were Middenfy sent off thi# afternoon, wiietncr
thi* unexpected exodus is n strategetic ni*vc

Cost of War to (tie North.
The following from u Ketttlv§ Southern Wealth
and Northern Projite, ” the most accurate expo
nent of Northern and Southern relations hereto
fore, furnishes somo idea of the resources of the
douth in a protracted struggle with the North:
Bounties t * fisheries pr an. attbe Northsi,Wo,ooo
Customs disbursed 4U,OUU,UOO
Profits of manufactures 30.000.0UU
1 mporter# 15,000,000
chipping, imp’is and exp’ts .40000,000
< >n travel (from the South)...00,000,000
Teachers and others at the
couth rant North 5,000,00 c
” A gnu is, brokers, oouimirsion#
J:c 10,000,000
Capital drawn from the
South .30,000,000
Total from these sources per ann . $231,500 000
These calculations are all from official source#.
Thus it appear* that if theexi/ting war were
to cost the South one hundred mi lions of dollars
per annum, it would uot amount to one half the
sum of which tho South has been annually plun
dered by the North; an am uut which probably
not one man in ten thou# .ud at the South ha# ever
even thought of, ana all ot which wilt be pre
‘rved to the Bou h by the existing war.
“If (say* Mr. KotteU we take the aggregate of
thane item#, for ten years only, the result is the
enormous #um of two billion* three hundred and
fifteen millions, and allowing twenty per eni. of
tno #utr. only a# the aggregate of the fifty pr ri
nua,yearn, the amounts is two thousand eereti h uti
drrd and mili-ons earned at the South
and added to Northern accumulation.”
If any body i# ut u loss to explain why the
Norih is waging the present wur, we can tell
them It is not for the Union, the Constitution,
the laws, not the star spangled banner, but for
the sum money contained in the above item#.
How SnuTMKRW Ladies are Treated in

days since whh here aunt, who was iu feeble

quarters ut a private boarding bouse up town, and
quietly minding their own bufunuss, they did not

through the city post, the following threatening

Padi <ahto hk Oct tried.—A rumor gained
currency in this city yesterday that Mnjor An
derson is to occupy Paducah with his two regi
ment* of Cincinnati Kentuckiana. What reli
ance is to be placed in the rumor we know not
but we are inclined to tbu belief that as the
work of sujugntion bn ; been almost completed
in Missouri, the next move will be in Kentucky.
And wo think it is possible that the first move in
Kentucky will be in the Purchnse, a* it will cut
’ off the Southern Confederacy in a great meas
ure from Missouri and Aikansas, and in agreat
degree crush out the patriots of this State by
overwhelming the first district. But it will not,
we believe, be occupied lung. We have faith
that the Confederate State# will not abandon
Arkansas and Missouri, and that tho day will
me when Lincoln's troops will be driven back
from Kentucky, Arkansas and Cairo, and tlie
safety of Kpnugfiold and Chicago will compel the
abandonment of Missouri to the patriot#.—Pn

they have much to gam by entering into

much to risk and much to loose. No good rea
