This lettor is, in its main characterixtic#, a mere repetition of former flourishos, and if it fails to relieve the anxiety of Europe as to the probable consequences of this struggie it is cotirely needless in the main purpose. it might de termine our sympathy if Mr. Seward could show us that there was any hope of the success of the federal army deing followed by a renewal of peace, prosperity and ‘trade of the South, but we are unable to see any hope of this; so it and Mr. Seward’s long epistle fails to throw one ray of light on the dark prospect.

It is, properly speaking, a huge mortar battery, with auxiliary works, having no casemates, but with immense bombproofs. Its arma- mont originatly cousisted of eleven heavy guns and seve ral mortars. The outer and inner walls are of brick; Dut since the rebels havo had possession of it it haw beon backed up and strengthened with sand bags. The wallaare filled with earth and bricked with stone, making a solid wall about sixteen feet in thickness. The work was much strengthened previous to tho bombardment of 1861, and was in command of Major Ripley, formerly of the United tates Army. Fort Moultrie mounta fifty guns, a few of which are in bombproofs, while others are protected with sandbag ramparts and travorses, A new bombproof was erected about one year ago, on the parade ground, for the roldiers: to retroat to when bard prossed by hostile shells. With this excoption, there has been no important alteration made in this work, It has been said by our naval officers ‘who took part in the iron-slad attack of April, 1863, that they could pass Moultrie, there was nothing in the har- bor could prevent the capture of the other forts and Charleston, REBEL ACCOUNTS.
