It is a most deliggtful placo—quite an at- tractive institution, Extcriorly, with its docks, soutry boxes, scows, shanties, heaps of building material and old guns and balls, small boats, and its prisonlike aspect, it is not particularly attractive? but ouce inside, you tind it, for afort,a very fine residence. It covers thirteen acres of grouad, and is built of Yankoe brick, in the form of—if I inay use the term—an obiong geptagon. It Six bastions, each one of which is mounted by a ten inch columbiad, caloulated to throw a shell of one hundred pounds and a solid shot of one hundred and twenty eight pounds. The curtains, or spaces between tho bastions, 4re each one hundred and twenty feet in length. There are now two tiers of casemates and a surmounting parapet about fourteen feet wide, upon which over two hundred masons and other mechanics are at work. This will soon be finished, when Fort Jof- ferson will bo second in size and armament only to Fortress Monroo. It wil! mount threo hundred and forty-nine guns of the heaviest calibre (eight and ton inchers) and seventy-one danking guas, which are twenty-four pound howitzers. ‘There will’ also be on hand twenty-four ton and thirteen inch mortars, making an aggregate of four hundred and fifty pieces of not-to- bo-sneezed-at ordnance, All tho cisterns—nearly two hundred in number—haye been repaired, and will be equal to providing the heavy garrison and tho fleet with an unlimited supply of pure water. At present some of the cisterns yield brackish water, but a condensing or dis- tilling apparatus, now on its way from New York, will quickly and effectually obviate that — difficulty, ith that and other advantages, — Lioutonant Morton declares that the supply of aqua prra will be 10,000 gallons aday.

Fort Pickens, whose “plain, unyarnished” walls Thave had the questionable pleasure of looking at, week after week, with only the variations of sky and water in view, is a very good place of {ts kind, now that Colone! Brown, the commandant of every Unionist post in Fio- rida, has strongly fortified it. I was within a mile of that fort on the day that Mr. Russell, tho correspondent of tho London Times, honored it with his presence, and I Saw him treated by officials commanding matters out- ide—such as titled soldiors and sailors—with degrees of olvility and servility that would not have been lavished ‘upon aPrinco had he shown himself at tho sallyport. Mr. Russell, it seoms, repaid ail that slavish attention by publishing a very minute account of all that he saw and heard, for the benefit of his newspaper audience and the Yebels. I don’t blame Rusgell, {but I do blame Colone} Brown, who will scarcely admit one of his officest into his august presence without the applicant for admission goes through the most rigid formula of re- ception the articles of war and the army regulations can furnish. Fort Pickens is, however, in go capital a condi- tion for successful warfare, that any description of it can- mot hurt the Union cause, aud 1, in common with every ‘man within its walls, and the bulk of Colonel Win. Wil- Gon’s regiment lying without, wonder why hostilities are ‘uot forthwith commenced against Gragg and his adherents, ‘The latter scem to know pretty well what Colonel Brown's orders from his superiors are (said here to be not to move inn offensive direction im any way until positive Oght shall hayo been commenced by tho rebels), for they come Out boldly and perform all sorts of Wweasonable actions un- der our very eyes and noses. One of their amusements has been to build small batteries all around us, and these 80 close to Fort Pickens that on a calm night our sentries could have conversed with the builders. Bragg must have at least one hundred and twenty guns, (inostly thirty-two pounders,) scatiered among these batteries: ‘They could have Jittle effect upon the fort; but if they were suddenly sprung upon Wilson’s camp and his outposts? the foredoomed body of men cruelly stationed therein would find it very hard to reach any shelter excepting that comprised in a bloody and inglorious grave. Then «there is Fort McRea, with a small garrison, it is true, and lying directly under the guns of the fleet, but it could help omploy a part of Colonel Brown's force for a little time» whilo Barrancas, in the background (another of Bragg’s forts), would assail from the land side and produce confu- Bion, if it did not do damage. Pickens would soon silence the batteries and McRea, but Berraneas (nut closely with” | in reach of the ¢fele eet) and the Navy Yard, would d° serious injury and make work both rough and lengthy" ‘There are good rifled cannon of large calibre in both those places, for T have seen them. One of those rifled cannon I saw placed on @ rebel water battery, directly under Fort McRea, and afterwards, when the battery proved Insuflicient, removed in broad daylight to the Navy Yard, both operations being performed in the face and eyes of the formal supinencss of our navel and army officialk, and without producing any very remarkable excitement. Nobody seemed to re- grot that “orders’’ prevented them taking the cannon as @ prize and its owners as To tell yon the truth, [don’t imagine the “+r Uhusfastic in the cause they are y And yet (hey turn up their hoses trucly anxious for action, and will pat up quietly with oc- casional aud incide -treatment if they can only have a fair chance to show their desire to maintain, at the hazard of their lives, the supremacy of the flag under whose folds all Americaus have alike pro: pered, North and South. You may have heard that Wil- son's regiment is discontented. Under the circumstances 1 think it is the most contented and obedient, as well as the best abused body of men that has, so fa departed from New York. But they cannot see the point of inactive upon a barren eand ban! prey of imosquitoes and the whims of ‘regular’ martinets. They want wor! tthat of the hodman, with which they have been favored, but of the soldier—and when they ee ity , and are, without palpable reason, withheld it, they naturaily enough’ grumble, They have siept in #and, without tents or blankets, and have endured all the bardships of so many Alexauder Selkirks without repining. All they want now is to know, ina downright, unmistakeable way, fur what they wore kent and are kept upon that ‘blasted heath.” All avell axishers of the country desire to know that, too. It could not have been to reiuforce the people in the fort, for the Zouaves are rigidly and wnaccountably excluded from the latter. If there is afighion hand, to come off apeedily, between Fort Pickons and Bragg’s points, 1 hope that the government will ho as generous with r *forcements of men as it has been with munitions of war, Jin the shape of arms, ammunition and provisions. Of these there is no end. ‘Therein Unele Sam Id not b been more liberal.

The result of this disci- pline is as handsome looking and weil conducted a body of soldiers as you would wish to behold. Col. Wilson had just fifteen minutes notice that two companies of his regiment were wanted at Tortugas, and must embark forthwith upon the steamor State of Georgia. Tn five minutes these crack companies were called together, and in ten they had their goods packed and were in launches on their way to the steamer. Capt. Whiting, of Company I, is the senior captain in the regimnont, and in case of Major Arvold’s withdrawal, would be in com- mand of Fort Jefferson. He is a capital officer, and has s0 astonished the regulars by his knowledge of military matters, and his practical oluctdation thereof, that they are making efforts to have his name transferred to the government army list. You will recollect him as once treasurer of tho Metropolitan thoatre, on Broadway} id, ent for the Lafarge estate. Captain Dufresne is also popular, and his men look like “birds” at guard mount.

E. Virginia:— Sin—I have the honor to communicate, as Colonel of tho First Minnesota regimont of Volunteers, tho events con- nected with the reovements of my command, comprising @ part of your brigude. On Tuesday morning, the 16th inst.,in obedionce to your order, we took up the line of march, and on the evening of Thursday arrived at Centreville and Divouacked until Sunday morning, the 2lst in- stant, at half-past two o'clock, whon we again took up our lino of march, in obedience to your Orders, to meet the enemy, then known to be tn large force betwoen Bull run and Manassas station, Virginia, Our march from Centreville to Bull run was not marked by any extraordinary event, my regimont leading tho advance of your brigade, On arriving at Bull run, the battlo bogan to rage with great warmth with the advance column of infantry and artillery of another division, both being hotly engaged. Hero Captain Wright, of the mili. tary onginoers, serving as an aid upon the staff o Colonel Hointzclman, commanding our division, in- formed mo that my regiment was needed to flauk the enemy upon tho extreme left; whereupon I moved forward at “quick” and “double quick” time, watil we ar- rived at an open fleld looking out upon the enomy’s lines. After holding this position a short time, Captain Wright, by your direction, ordered me through the woods to take Position near the front and centre of the enomy’s lino, in an open field, where we camo under tho dircot fro of the enemy’s batteries, formed in “column by division.”? After remaining in this position for some ton minutes, T received orders from both your aids and those of Colo Heiutzelman to pass the whole front of the enemy's line, insupport of Ricketts’ battery, and procood to the ex treme right of our line and the left of the euemy,a dis tance of about a mile or more, This movement was effected at quick"? and ‘double quick” time, Doth by the infantry and artillery, during which march the mep threw from their shoulders thoir havorsacks, blankets and most of their can‘cus, Lo facili tate their oagernoss to engage the enemy. On arriving at tho point indicated, being the extreme loft of tho ¢ my and the extreme right of our line, ant in advance of all other of our troops, and whoro I was \nformed oficial: ly that two other regiments itd declined Ww charge, we formed a line of battio, our right resting within a few feet of tho woods and the loft at and around Ricketis? battery, and upon the crest of the hiil, within fifty or sixty feot of the enemy's line of infantry, with whom we could bays readily conversed in an ordinary tone of voice. Immediately upon Ricketts’ battery com ing into position and we in “line of battie,’’ Colonel Heintzeiman rode up between our lines “and dist of the enemy, within pistol shot of each, which circum stance staggered my judgment whether tose iu frout were friends or enemins, It being equally manifest that the enemy were in the same dilomina as to our identity. But a few seconis, however, undeceived both, they dis. playing the rebel and we the Union flag. Instantly a Dlazo of fre Was poured into the faces of the combateits, each producing terrible destruction, owing to the close proximity of the forces, which | was followed by volley after volley, in. rogular and irregular order as to time, until Ricketts’ battery was disabled and eut to pieces, anda large portion of its oflicers and men bad fallen, and until Companies H, 1, K, 6,G, and those im- mediately surrounding my regimental ‘tay, were so dos perately cut to pieces as io make it more Of a slaughter house than an equal combat, tho enemy manifestly num. bering five guns to our one, besides being intrenched in the woods and behind ditches 'and pits plainiy porcoptib!e, and with batteries upon the euemy’s right, enfilading my left flank, and within three hundred and fifty vards direct rauge. After an effort to obtain aid from the Fire Zouaves, then immodiately upon our loft, two or threo diffrent or- ders camo to retire, as it was manifest that the contest was Loo deadly and unegual to be longer justifiably main tained. Whereupon, [gave the command to retire, # tuat the whoie of our fucces were seemingly in ret: Kvery inch of ground, however, was ktrongly tosted by skirmishers, through ‘the woods fences and over the undulating ground, until rotired some four hundred yarcs i reas der, toa point where the wen could procure water, and then took up a regular aud orderly + to such point as some general ofiicer might indicate thereafter, I feet it duo to my regiment to say, that bofore leaving the extreme right of our line the euemy attompted to make a charge with a body of porhaps five hundred ca- valry, who were mct by my command and a part of the Fire Zonayes, and ropaised with considerable toss to the ‘enemy but without any Lo us.

As s00n a8 the colums came in of the onemy, after crossing Bull run, I received from Gon. McDowell in person directions to superintend the posting of the batte- Ties as they severally debosstied from the road and ar- rived upon the fleld. The Rhode Island battery came first upon the ground, and took up ata gallop the position as- signed it. It was immodiately exposed to a sharp fire from the enemy's skirmishers and infantry, posted on the deolivity of the bill and in the vailey in ‘ite immediate front, and to & woll sustained dre of shot and shell from tho enemy's batteries, posted behind tho crest of the range of hills about one thousand yards distant. ‘This battery sustained in a very gallant man- ner the whole force of this fire ‘for nearly half an hour, when the howitzers of the soventy-first New York militia came up and went into battery on ils left. A fow minutes afterward Griffin brought up his pieces ata gallop, and came into battery about five hundred yards to the left of the Rhode Island and New York latte: ries. Rickett’s battory came up in less than half an hour afterward, and was posted to tho left of and immediately adjoining Griffin's, ‘The enomy’s right, which had boen wavering {rom the raoment Gritlin opened his tlre upon it, now began to give way throughout its whole extent, and retire steadily, his batteries limbering up rapidly, and at ‘® gallop taking up successively two uow positions further to his vear, ‘The foot troops on our left, following up the enemy's rotiring right, soon le(t our batteries so far in our rear that their flro was over the heads of our own mien. I there- fore directed the Rhode Island battery to advance about tories (twenty. » Which crossed five hundred yards in front of its first position, accompanied it myself, aud saw it open fire with increased effet upon’ the enemy's still retiring right. Returning to tho position occupied by Rickott’s and Grimth’s batteries. I received a» ordsr from Goneral Mubowell to advance two batteries to an eminence, specially designated by him, about elght hundred in front of the line previously vccupied by the onemy's battories. I therefore ordered thee two batteries to move forward at once, and as soon as they wore in motion, wi venth (Fire Zou New York regiments. Taccompanicd the former regiment to guide it to proper position, and Colonel Hoiutzelman, Seventeenth United States Infon'ry, performed the same service for the Fourteenth right of the kleventh, A squadron of United States cavalry, under Captain Colburn, First cavalry, was subsequently ordered as additional support. Woe were soon upon the ground designated, and the wo Datteries at once opened a vory eileetive fire upon the enemy's left. ‘The new position had scarcely been occu- pied when # troop of the enemy's cavalry, debouching from a pivce of wood close our right flank, charged down upon the New York Eleventh, The Zouay ing Bight Of the cavalry a few moments before they upon them, broke ranks to such a degree that the caval: dashed through w.thout doing the veh barn. miaves gave them a soi mptied fi few minutes 'y, covered by a high fence, presented itself in line on the left and ‘front of the two batteries, at not more than sixty or ¢ y Is dist yand’ deliv yolley full vpon the batteries and their’ supports, 1 tenant Ra y, was killod, and Captain lory, was wounded, and,a number of mea and horses were killed or disabled by this cle nd well directed volley. The Eleventh and Fourteenth regi iments instantly broke and fled in confusion to the rear, ad, in spite of the repeated and earnest efforts of Colonel intzelman with the Iatter, and myself with the former, refused to rally and retura to the support of the bat- tories. The enemy secing the guns thus abandoned by their supports, rushed upon them, and driving off the cannoncers,, who with their officers, stood bravely at their posts until tho Inst moment, captured them, ten in number, Those wore the ouly guns taken by the enemy on tho field. Arnold's battcry came upon the fleld after Ricketst?, a: was posted on our left contre, where it performed good service throughout the day, and by its continual and well-directed fire aesisted materially in breaking and driving back the enomy’s right and ceatre, The batteries of Hont, Carliste, Ayres, Mbball, Ed- wards and Groen, twenty-one pieces, being detached’ from the main body, and pot being under iy immediate notlee during the greater portion of the day, I respectfully refer you & the reports of their brigade and division command- ers for tho r ir sorvicos, ‘Tho army hay «(upon Centreville, Twas order- ed by General M. srsou to post the artillery in position to cover retreat, The battories of Hunt, Ayres, Tidball, Edwards, Greon and the New York Bighth regiment (ced latter served by volunteers from Wileox's brigade) , twenty picees i > Were at once placed in posi- tion, and thus remained until twelve o'clock I. M., when, orders having been reevived to retire upon tho Potomac, the batteries were put in march, and, covered by Richardson's brigade, retired in good ordor and without haste, and early noxt morning reoccupied their former camps on the Potomac In conclusion, it gives mo groat satisfaction to state that tho conduct of the officers and enlisted men of the seve- ral battories was moat ex ary. Exposed throughout the day to a galiing fire of artillery and small guns, seve- ral times charged by cavalry, and more than ouce abau- donod by their infantry sapperts, both officers and on listed men manfully stood by. their guns with a courage and devotion worthy of the highest commendation.

Custom House Removat.—Mr. Collector Barnoy has ro. moved Henry A, Cargill from ‘be office of Deputy Col- octor of Customs, Movements! of Prince .Wapoleon, Tt was erroneously at ted by most of the city papers Yesterday. that a dinner ,in honor of Pri'uce Napoleon was to have been given at tha rooms of the U.Nion Club, in tho Fifth avenue, last evening, No such ocourr.2ce has taken placo; but it is now dofin\ tely arranged that: our illustri- ous visiter will bo enterta ‘ned at the sumptwous rooms above mentioned on Thursday (to-morrow) evening, by a few of the members of the clu gentlemen who heve mot tho Prince in Furope, and w ho have taken advantage of his presence among us to ex tend to him such genue jne hospitality as the occasion \ will permit. Tho dinner, therofore, will not be a banquet gy ven by the Club, but a demonstration confined to a few gy atiemen, who have in- vited some of our leading citizens te ' participate in the fes- tivities. The whole affair will ba strictly private, and tho party small but select, ‘To-day the Prince will dine with May vor Wood. No par- tieu of tho entertainment have transpired, but it is understood than it will be a private « linner en famille, got up with all the taste and elegance ta \t beflt the oce: sion and tho Imperia! guest, Tt was also stated in the papers that the New York Club wouldentertain the Prince. This ts not so. t There has been no arrangement to this effect, aud from ‘hx > information we have received it is not likely that his In .perial H ness will find time to accept of any hospitalitt es from the gentlemen of this club, The Prince apent most of the day yesterc lay within doors in iis private apartments at the New Y@ rk Hotel. He breakfasted with the Princess at eight o'clock, and afterwards visited his yacht in the bay, Pt was @’esigned that he should visit the priucipal pubtic inst tutions on the East river, wsuch as Blackyoll’# and Ward's Islands, but tho inclemency of the weather and the incessant or in pi ted eis plan from being carried out. Nothing definite is Known at to how his Imperial Highness will spend the early part of today. Should Boreas and the rain king be a ligtle more favorably disposed, he will pay a visit to Blackwell's Island, and gee somuthing of our prison system. ‘The future movements of the Prince and the Trperiat party have been laid ont with some precision, bus it it supposed that they will have to suffer somo material change, AS the programme now svuds, it is arranged that the Princo shall take a sail up the Hudson, en route to Niagara, stopping to partake of the hos sitalities of Wost Point and Liviugston Manor. Buo it poems that Sirs. Abrabam Lincoln, wife of the Prosident of tue United States, is expected to arrive in the cit day or two, when she will oxchange visits with the Privcess Clotilde. ‘This will possibly delay the Prince’s movements for a few days. ‘The final departure of the imperial party will soon place. They will leave, as they came, in the Princo's maguificont yacht, which has been refitted ina st. superb elegance. On the return home, the party will stop for a short time at Newfoundiand, as the Count and Countess de la Rioncere are expected there from Europe in the French corvette Milan. Sir Alexandor Bannerman, Governor of the colony, will en- tertain the Prince and his suite, as woll as the Count de Rioncere and his Countess during their stay in the island, On Thursday ovening next (to-morrow) the Italian re sidents of the city will serenade the Prince and the Clothilde at the Now York Hotel. The ‘“serenata’? will be a grand and splendid affair. The whole of the musi cians who usually discourse sweet harmony in the Aca- demy of Music will be the performers on the occasion, and there will be quite a sensation.
