2 bowitzers of searp and countersearp can be ww ied with very little labor, When the Flo- troops seized the fort there were in it } i _ a fi A 7 FORT MARION, AT ST. AUGUSTINE. Fort Marion is an old Spanish work, built of petrified jbol or coral, and ie supposed te be the oldest fort on the continent. It is about forty foot bigh, and is sur- rounded by a ditch twenty feet wide, which once at high tide was filled with water, but now with weeds and dirt. ‘There wore four watch towers on the fort, two of which are partiaily destroyed. It is now in a very dilapidated condition, Upon the inside the weeds are nearly as high nen man’s bead. Its walls are twelve fect thick at the ase, tapering until reduced tosix feet at the top of the parapot. The eastern front of the work faces the bar to ‘the entrance of St. Augustine, and other portions of the Tomp.tbe barbor. It is now in nosaeenion of Florida THE COMMANDER OF FORT PICKENS. | Lieut, Slemmer, who bas command of Fort Pickens, Florida, about which so much interest is felt at th» ;re- Beat moment, is «. native of Montgomery county, Pa.,and | is about thirty-cme years of age. His grandfather was a solder in the Revolution, and was among,the skirmishers ‘who assailed the British on their retreat through New Jersey, after their evacuation of Philadelphia. His | grandfather on the maternal side was also a soldier of | the Revolution, belonged to the army under Washington that wok the Hessiaus a! Trenton, apd was one of those | whose bloody footprints marked each siep on their return from the batile tield. They were both natives of Phila. deiphia, Licut. Slemmor graduated at West Point in 1850, and was assigned to duty in the First artillery, and ordored to Florida to hold the Seminole Indians in check; was thore promoted and ordered to San Diego, Oslifornia, and from thence sent to Fort Yuma, a sandy barren, and one of the most undesirable posts in the country. Being again promoted, he was ordered to Fort Moultrie, Charles- ton harbor. After being there a short time, he was in. vited by Mr. Bache, Superintendent of the Coast Survey, to cater that service, which was accepted and duty as- signed. His name was therefore sent by the Superjn- tendeat +0 the proper bureau, the Secretary of which being absent at the time, it was laid upon the desk. Be- fore hia return, howover, the Superintendent of the West Point Acacemy made application to the Secretary of War for the appointment of Lieut. Slemmor as a teacher in that institution, which duty was assigned him. Having served the regular term (four years) in that capa- city, tho greater part of the time as teacher of mathe- matics, he was again ordered to Fort Moultrie, and sub- sequently transferred to the Pensacola station, and put in command of that post, which consists of the barracks, Fort Barrancas, Fort McRae and Fort Pickens. At the @ommencement of tho diffoulties he occupied the bar- reoks, and, taking the same precaution as Major Ander- gon, he sought the strongest fort, aud removed his com- maad to Fort Pickens, where he is now invested by the Florida and other troops. THE NEW MILITARY COMMANDER OF PENSACOLA. Braxton Bragg, of Louisiana, formerly an officer of the United States army, has been appointed Brigadier Gene- ralof the army of the Confederate States, and has been ordered to proceed to Pensacola and take command of all ‘the troops of the republic there assembled, and conduct the operations against Fort Pickens. General Bragg is a native of North Carolina, from which State he was appointed, in 1832,to a cadetship in the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he gradoated in 1637 with high honors. In July of the same year be was appointed Second Lieutenant in the Third regiment of artillery. His subsequent promotions are as follows:—Assistant Commiesary of Subsistence, November, 1837; Adjutant, December, 1837; First Lieatenant, July, 1838; Brevet Captain, for gallant conduct in dofence of Fort Brown, May 9, 1346; full Gaptain, June, 1846; Brevet Major, for gallant conduct in several desperate conflicts at Monterey, Mexico, September 23, 1846; Brevot Lieuténant Cotodel, for gallant conduct in the battle of Buena Vista, Mexico; resigned his commission in the army in January, 1356. General Bragg’s deeds and his ‘vaior in the war with Mexico as an artillery officer be. Long to the history of the country. No name shines out with fairer lustre. He is about forty-three years of age. He removed to Louisiana about six years ago, where he has ‘8 large plantation in the parish of Lafourche, Two years ago he was clected a member of the Board of Public Works, in which capacity his clear head and unquestioned practical judgment won for him many new friends and gainod the applaure of the public at large. As a soldier and gentleman be stands before the world sane peur ¢ Sams reproche. THE LATER COMMANDER OF THE TROOPS AT PENSA- COLA. Major William H. Chase, formerly of the United Btates Corps of Engineers, has just returned from ‘the command of the State troops at Pensacola, Florida. Ho was formerly a resident of Maesachu- setts, and received the appointment of cadet from that State to the Military Academy at West Point, where ho graduated March 3, 1515. He was appointed brevet second lieutenant in the Corps of Engineors in the same month, and promoted to a full lioutenancy April, 1818. Ea subsequent promotions to first lieatenan ptain ano major, date respectively March 31, 1819; January 1, 1826, and July 7, 1833. In 1844 he was a member of the Special Board of Engineers for examination of Florida reefs, &c., and for the examination of harbors, channels, &o., on the Gulf frontier of Texas and Mississippi. He ‘was a member of the Board of Engineers from March 15, 1848, to September, 1848. He resigned his position in the federal army October 51, 1866. Major Chase is a man of imdomitable perseverance and courage, and ranks high ag a military engineer and strategist. He te about sixty. four years of age, and possesses a large private fortune. Me was recently appointed Major General by the Gover- nor of Florida, and is now in command of the besiegers of Fort Piokens. No man living is so familiar wita the fortifications a} Pensacoia as General Charo, Most of them he planned and built while in the United States sorvice, aud, if necessary, he knows just where and how to take them. Genoral Chase has taken precautionary moasures againat any contingency of a blockade of Pen sacola, by providing a six months s@pply of provisious for the Stato troops. He purposes to atili continue as an advisory engineer in tho execution of any strategical movements. ‘THE UBITED STATES FORTS AT KEY WEST. Recent events indicate the determination of the United ‘States government to retain full, entire and complete pos- seanion of the fortifications on the Florida reefs, near Key Weat. To put these works, therefore, in acomplete con, dition of defence, they have been recently reinforced by United States troops, fully provisioned for a long siege and « supply of ammunition furnished enough to wink half a dozon respectable sized navies. Key West is celebrated as @ naval station; it is the hoadiand of the Southern coast, situated on the ‘northwest end of an island of the same name, otherwise ealled Thompson's Island; it is four miles long and one wide. Ithas a fine harbor, admitting vossels drawing twenty seven fect of water, and is well defeaded, as we Ghali hereafter describe. It is tho key tothe northern Paseage of the Gulf of Mexico, as the passage hero is afer and ninety miles nearer than around Tortugas, ‘Tho thermometer at this place ranges from fifty to ninety degrees of Fahrenheit, The whole isiand lies on a bed of Limestone, abont one foot beneath the surface, FORT TAYLOR, KNY WKST. ‘This ts also a new, first ciass bastioned fort, the work of which was commenced in 145. Like Fort Jefferson, it is @ brick fort, built upon & granite foundation, It is nearly finished, the barracks aod a few platforms for varbette guns being alone incompleted. in shape the work ia an irregular quadrangle, having three channe; curtains of equal length, and @ guage or shore curtain of mauoh gréater length. It ts sitaated at the south west part of the island, st the ontrance of the harbor of Key Weat, in from wix to twelve foot of water, aud distant (rom the shore wbout three hundred yards, Tho scarp walls are eight feet im thickness, and rise abruptly from the water to a height of forty-one feet. The work is pierced for three tiers of guns—two under casemated bomb-proofe ‘and the other open or en bartetie. It mouats one hundred ‘and .twenty ten-inch columbiads on the channel fronts, ‘and forty-five heavy guns on the shore front. Its full ‘war armament is one hundred and eighty-five guns, most of which are in battery and ready to stand « protracted siege. The fort is well supplied with provisions, fuel, ‘ammunition, hospital and artillery stores, and has first rate quarters for its officers and barracks for the troops. Ite present force consists of about two bundred men, under the command of Capt. J. M. Brannan, of the First United States artillery, and Capt. E. B, Hunt, of the Corps of En- ineers. o yort Taylor is considered the key of the Gulf. ‘The only vulnerable point is facing the land side; but even to make any impression upon it by an enemy would require ‘a large force and the sacrifice of an immense number of lives, und the expenditure of a large amount of treasure. FORT JEFFERSON, PoRTUGAS. ‘This work was commenced in 1846, and is now nearly finished. Ina strategical point of view it is designed to command the admirable harbor lying in the heart of this group of keys. The fort is an immense bastioned work, the walls of which are built of brick, witha granite foundation. Thus far it has cost the government over one million of dollars. The work covers an area of between thirteen and fourteen acres. Although not fully armed, it is completely closed and impreg- nable against an escalading party. The work is plercod for three tiers of guna, two under bomb-proof casemates, and one open or en barbette. The casemated tiers aro <apable of mounting 350 guns. A wide ditch, communi- cating with the sea, surrounds the entire work, and this is protected by s counterscarp of great length. The gung of this fort command the inner harbor. The outer har- bor is beyond the reach of the heaviest guns. Fort Jof- ferson, when it will have been completed and put on a war footing, will require a total armament fone bom 4met and fifty guns one thousand troops. hs present gusts toe Seton ed about two hundred and fifty men, under the command of Brevet Major Lewis G. Arnold, of the First regiment of United States artil- ery, assisted by First Lieutenant Henry Benson, First Licutenant (Quartermaster) Matthew M. Blunt and Sur- geon Adam N. McLaren. The fort is well provided with provisions, fuel, ammunition, artillery and hospital stores. 1 is deficient, however, in armament, having only seventy-five guns in battery; but this is being remedied with all possible haste. MOVEMENTS IN NEWYORK HARBOR. THE STRAMER EMPIRE CITY. ‘The steamer Empire City has been chartered by the government for some particular service in the Southern waters, her clearance papers stating Indianola, Texas, as her destination. These papers have been taken out for several days, and the vessel has been lying at the an- chorage off Quarantine, all persons visiting her requir- ing an order from the army authorities here before they would be allowed to step en board. When lying at her wharf at the foot of Varick street, she was employed in taking on government stores, of which a more than ordi- nary quantity was shipped. The Empire City is a side- wheel steamer of 1,751 tons register, and was built in this city in 1848. She has two decks. She has a side lever engine. Her length is 240 feet, breadth 48 feet, depth of hold 23 feet. She carries threo masts, and is schooner rigged forward. She draws fourtcou feet of water. Her owner is Marshall 0. Roberts. She has had pretty hard usage, and, although a tolorable sea boat, would not stand five minutes’ cannonading, her sides not having been constructed to resist the imping- ing weight of hostile cannon balls. THE STAR OF THE WEST. The Star of the West has, for the last few days, been busily engaged taking on board stores, &c., pro- vious to her voyage toward the South. It appears that the destination of tao veesel is Brazos Santiago, Texas, and the object of her visit to that port to relieve and bring away from that State the United States soldiers who have been left destitute. Hor supply of stores, doubtless intended for provisioning the men during their passage to the North, consists of about two hundred bar- rels of meat (beef and pork), three hundred barrels of bread, two hundred barrels of flour, several barrels of sugar, beans, whiskey, and such like stores, a few large bags of potatoes, supplics of coffee, tea, &c. Yesterday her tanks were filled with water, and fresh provisions for the cabin table shipped. In addition to the foregoing, several hundred foet of scantling and planks, for the pur- Pose of erecting berths for the soldiers, were placed on the two upper decks. There was a small supply of coal on the lowor deck and in the hold, but apparently not more than would have becn required by the steamer for her own use during an ordinary passage from this city to Indianola and back. The mysterious manner in which the stores have been placed on board the vessel, and the strict silence observed by those in charge, when questioned, and who profess to know nothing of whem or where they are going, caused some little curiosity to be manifested among persons “(who had nothing to do,” and who therefore assembled on the pier, No. 29, and engaged in speculative conversa- tion as to the destination, objects, &c., of the vessel at the present time, each person sceming to have a dis- tinctly different idea on the matter. Occasionally one more courageous than the rest would walk the plank and take a peep around the vessel, looking out sharply a!l the time for fear of suddenly meeting with one of the officers. The Star of the West has been chartered for two months by the general government, and on Tuceday evening sailed from Quarantine for her destination, having dropped down to the anchorage about sundown. This steamer has already achieved a notoriety for having once attempted to make her way up the Charleston channel to Fort Sumter’s dock. She is no better prepared now to stand a raking fire of cannon than at the time she received the unpleasant salute ton- dered her from the masked batteries of Morris Island. She is a lighter vessel than the Empire City, being 1,172 tons burthen, and drawing twelve feet of water. She ia aside-wheel steamer, has two decks, and was built in this city nine years ago. Her dimensions are 228 feet length, 8% feet breadth, and 24 feet depth. She is also schooner rigged forward. She is owned by Commodore Vanderbilt. Captain McGowan was in command of her on the occasion of her recent unsuccessful trip to Charles- ton, but does not on the present occasion have her in charge. TBE GUNBOAT CRUSADER. ‘The Crusader is screw propeller of the third class. She is rated as being of 549 tons burthen, and on the pro- sent trip has a full complement of one hundred and ten men (including officers). Her armament has been in- creased to ten guns (nine thirty-two pounders, and ono brass twenty four pounder) and ammunition to match. She has on board a full cargo, consisting of stores, pow. der and other ammunition, coal, &c., which was taken on at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. She was expected to sall this morning for Charleston to bring away the soldiere from Fort Sumter, and the following is a list of the names of the offlcers:—Lieutenant Commanding, T. A. M. Craven; Lieutenants, James M. Duncan, J. M. Broose and A. E. R, Benham; Master, R, R. Wallace; Surgeon, J. W_ B. Greenhow; First Assistant Engineer, J. A. Greor; Third Assistant Engineers, 0, H. Lackey, I. A, Rearick and J. Waters; Captain's Clerk, T. A. Craven, Jr.; Master's Mates, Jas. L. Plunkett and ©, H. Warren; Pursor's Glerk, Joseph B. Turner. The Crusader—formerly the Cromwell—arrived last month at this station from the ‘West Indian waters, whore she had, like the Mohawk and Wyandot, acted as one of the Cuban coast fleet, whose duty it i to intercept slavers. She was not put out of commission, but underwent some needed repairs of an unimportant nature. THE GUNBOAT MOHAWK. The Mobawk is also a third class screw propeller. She in rated at 464 tons burthen, and is expected to havo as full a complement of men as the Crusader—viz: one hundred and ten. Hor armament has also been incroased, she now having cight guns—six thirty-two pounders, one twenty-four and one twelve. She has boen nearly ready for sea for some fow days, baving on board the greater part of her cargo, consisting of stores, ammunition and ooal, and only requiring # smail supply of officers’ provi- sions and water. She was engaged yesterday taking on board the remaining portion of her coal; and the gene. ral bustle of getting ready for son was to be observed, although actaal orders had not been received. ‘The following is a listof the officers for the prosent trip:—Lieut. Commanding, J. H. Strong; Lieutenants, J. M. Arnold, ©. 0. Carpenter, C. Hatfield; Master, not yet on board; Surgeon, Delavan Bloodgood; Acting Chiof Fngi- noer, J. 8. Albert; Third Assistant Engineers, F. 1. Dick, G. D. Emmons, H. Brown; Captain's Clerk, T. H. Hoadley; Maater’s Mates, Geo, Van Duser, J. H. Humphrey.

NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1861. oratly she recetved an addition to powerful batteries ip the ghape of three long pounders. The larger guns are placed in the about the padilc- boxes; the twenty-four pounders fixed aft, Hor complement of email arms is very strong and of the best, kind. It consists of Minie ri ed muskets, Sharpe's im- proved pistols, Colt’s navy revolvers, navy boarding pis- tols and the improved navy cutlass, There is also on board a twelve pound boat howitzer, for the launch. ‘This piece of ordnance has a field carriage attached, 50 that the gun can be removed from the launch and in- tantly fitted on to the carriage, to be used for land ser- viee, The following is 9 list of hér offeers and crew :— Jobn Faunce, Commander; D. B. Constable, First Licu- tenant; D. D. Thompkins, Second Liewtemant; H. 0. Por- ter, Second Lieutenant; Thomas M, Dunge, Third Lieu- tenant; J. M. Thatcher, Third Lieutenant; Borace Gamble, Third Lieutenant; James R. Drybergy Oaief Engineer; Walter Scott, First Engineer; Charles @. Dale, Engineer; F. F. Pulsifer, Engineer; seamen, firemen, coal passers, stewards, &c.; in all ninety-four persans, THR CORWIN, BIBB AND VIXEN. All three are steamers, formerly belonging to tho coasting service, but which have into the navy at the present time. The Corwin is sbout three hundred tons burthen, carries eighty men anf officers, and four guns—twenty-four pounders. The Bibb is about three hundred and twenty tons burthen, Nadas ment and about eighty-three mon amd officers. The Vixen has been somewhat noted inthe service during he Mexican war, is of three and sixty tons burthea, is similarly armed, dnd ninety men. THE PERRY | 8. brig of two hundred and eighty tobe burthon, carries six guns—thirty-two pounders. She is no! yet manned, but, with the Wabash, is expected shortly to be gotten ready for service. THE SUPPLY Has been in commission for some few <ays past, and, having all hor cargo on board, is expected to sail upom very short warning. It is not expeoted that Commander ‘Walke will take charge of her during the atendea «ip. THE COATRACOALCOR Has beon chartered by the government, and ix now coaling. ‘This vessel is rated as A2, 1,953 tons burthen, eight foot draught, has two decks; 6 built of oak, copper and irom fastened; has a walking beam engine, with a stroke of twelve fect, and a soventy inch cylinder| was built in Niagara City in 1854 for the lake trade, jad was then known by the pame of the America, Shi brought down the rapids of the St. Lawrence withthe Canada, another voeeel of tho came line, and was tha, after great alteration, fitted out for the Havana trade. | THR PHILADELPHIA. ‘The Philadelphia has also been chartered py the gov- ernment, and will shortly be gotten ready foi service. THE DESTINATION | Of the foregoing vessels is supposed to be Ibrt Sumter, but we should not be at all surprised to fin{ that they are every one to be sent to the Gulf of Mesco for the purpose of reinforcing Fort Pickens and the other forts along the Florida coast, As these forts are nit built for the protection of, nor do they belong to any, particular State, the vovernmont intend holding them fir the pro- tection of the Guif trade, and will do their bist to rein- force them, lest such a valuable strategical key should fall into the bands of some other power.
