In my last letter I stated that our Regt. must in someway be related to the wandering Jew, in consequence of moving so much, since writing that letter, we have made two more moves, one to Hil- ton Head and back to Fernandina, and we had gct finely settled when orders came to go to St. Augustine, and of course to hour is to obey, and conse- quently are here quaftered in the ancient city of St. Augustine, the oldest inhab. ited place in the United States. But what claim it has to being called a city is more than I can comprehend; as it can- not compare in size to Norwalk, which I believe is yet called a Town, but I suppose the views of the Southern people are far- ger than those at the North. I will give you a few items which may possibly interest you and some of the readers of the Gazette. The Fort (Fort Marion) which com- mands the entrance of the harbor is a very ancient, besides being a very odd looking afi'air, it is built of concrete or Cokeina a kind of formation from shells of the Ocean, there are two beds of it near this place; it is quarried out in blocks like stone. 1 shall not attempt to describe the angles of the Fort, because I cannot do it justice. The sentry boxes are built in connection with the Fort, at - the top forming a part of the Fort. Two looking toward the land and one toward the ocean. In the fort are several dun- geons. I have seen the inside of the one where the celebrated Indian Chief Os- cela was confined. The 7th N. H. Vol. or a squad of them, in exploring the fort found a dungeon walled up, and tearing down the wall they found in the inside a ske’leton,a table and a jug, and a chain lying on the floor, which led to the con- jecture that the prisoner had been walled up alive and left to perish a lingering death. Inside the fort was also found the original money chest brought by the Spaniards to this place; it was locked by three separate keys kept by as many dif- ferent persons, the name of the ofiice they held I do not know, but they all bad to be present when the chest was unlocked, (a very good plan to establish in some cases at the present time, in my humble opinion). The chest has been nearly dc- molisbcd, and carried away by pieces, by those in search of relics and momentocs. There was formerly a well built around the city but it has fallen a victim to time, and only portions of it are left standing, at the upper part of- the city the posts are still standing; they are built of the same material as the fort. I have un- derstood that the walls Were built by the Mexicans or Indiana, the prisoners that the Spaniards took in the conquests of Mexico. Neurone of the gates of the city was found a large iron cage embeded in the ground; it is stated that there were several of these cages hung by the city gates and persons were put in these and exposed to the public gaze for punish- ment, (very similar I suppose to the puu~ isbment of the stocks). Leaving the walls we_skip to the Plaza, which is in the center of the city, in which we have our Dress Parade; it has been the scene of three difi'erent fights between other . nations, how long it will be of another we cannot tell. There is a monument in the centre with the name of the Plaza on it; on the north side, is the Catholic church, on the east the Market, on the south several fine buildings and the Epis- copal church (used now by our Regt. for service) and on the west the City Hall used now as our Adjutant and Pro- vost guard Quarters. Farther south are the Barracks in which six companies of the Regt. are quartered, they are very large and airy buildings, the men are be- low on the ground floor, while the offi- cers have nice and pleasant rooms on the second floor. They were used by the regular service previous to this rebellion, and are fixed for- couvcuiencc and com- fort, altbough some of the fixing inside had been, destroyed before we occupied. The buildings, (the oldest ones) are built of the same material as the fort, and are generally from two to three sto- ries high but they are fast going to ru- ins. The more modern ones are built of wood and are two stories high witha balcony extending nearly half way across the street. The streets, or most of them, are very narrow, scarcely wide enough to allow a government wagon to pass through; the houses are built close on the streets very few having any ground in front, but in the rear there is what once were beautiful gardens, and a great many , are yet in a good condition to those houses that have citizens residing in them, But more of the inhabitants are tube , sent away in the boat that leaves here to-day, they having relatives in the rebel army, 'and so are supposed to sympathize with the rebels. _ A little to the south of the barracks is a grave-yard in which are buried a number of the soldiers that were killed in the war with the Indians; also the graves of the oficers and privates who died while stationed here in the regular service, and those of the other regiment who were here before us; also the first wife of .the Rebel Gen.

This is a very healthy and pleasant? sou plenty of fruit, oranges both sweet and sour, lemons, figs, pomegranates, water- mellons, peaches, tho. I hope we shall stay here this summer at least. But there is nothing certain about it. A very pleasing incident happened to our COL—Joseph R. Hawlcy—tbo other afternoon. At dress parade after the usual performance was gone through, the cht. was formed in a body and our Col. had presented t6 him as a testimOnial ‘of the regard and esteem in which he was held by the citizens of Fernandina, a copy of the resolutions that were sent to Connecticut, expressing the opinion of the regiment in regard to the election at that time, which you published; they were neatly written on parchment and beautifully framed, and were presented to him in the presence of the regiment in be- half of the donor by our Chaplain, Mr. Wayland, in a neat and very appropriate speech. The Col. replied in a short speech, thanking the giver and giving in- cidents which I do not remember, but the whole affair passed in a happy manner and will long be remembered, as one of the pleasing incidents of a soldier’s life. The present was given him in apprecia- tion of the manner in which the affairs had been conducted while tho Col. was commanding the post at Fernandina, and I must say without any egotism, that the 'fth Regt. Conn Vols, have always left a good name behind them, wherever they have been, and I hope they will continue to do the same. Before closing I must give you a short sketch of our little raid down here, it was not so large as they do things on the Po- tomac, but still it was a pretty good thing. Capt. Skinner, in charge of two com- panies of about 50 men from Co. H, Capt Dennis commanding; 50 from Co. D, Lieut. T. C. Wildman commanding, started on an expedition after cattle, the first day the capture only amounted to 14 head of horses, but the next day they went 17 miles and found a pen with about 150 head of cattle which they levied on and started them toward camp. But the best of the joke is that Capt. Dickenson (rebel) was expected to come after them the same day, in fact the man who had them penned, said that be ex- pected them every moment and that if Dickeuson would have the cattle hack and our men too before they got back to St. Augustine. ,I think they would have met with a warm reception if they had tried it. Our boys picked up about fifty bead more on the return to camp, making about 200 head in all, enough to keep us-in fresh beef for some time to come. But I must close. The boys are all well. T. B. B. «0» West Virginia. This new State was “inaugurated" on Saturday the 20th inst., the ceremonies being very imposing. Addresses were made by Ex-Governor Picrpont, by the Governor elect, Arthur J. Boroman, and by Senator Willey. In the course of his remarks Governor Boreman, said: , “ This state is the child of the rebel- lion; yet its peace and prosperity depend- ed on the permanence of the American Union. It would be his duty as soon as these ceremonies were over to proceed to aid the federal authorities. Theirs was the cofitested ground of the rebel- lion; and what course should loyal men of West Virginia pursue ? We want no compromise ; we want no peace except upon the terms that those in rebellion will lay down their arms and submit to the regularly constituted authority of the United States. As Governor he should cooperate with the federal authorities in those measures deemed necessary for the suppression of this rebellion." Senator Willey congratulated the poo- pic that West Virginia was a fixedfaetf He had been 'in the habit be said, “of talking sometimes against our armies and generals in the field, and against our na- tional administration. He quit doing so about two weeks ago, and did not intend to renew it till the war should however. We cannot get along if we are to quar- rel among ourselves. God bless our old governor, God bless our new»? Governor, God bless the state of West Virginia.” Three cheers were then given for West Virginia, and three more for the United States of America, and the ceremonies were it an end. «Q»- BuaNsrpu—Tbe Louisville Jamaal, on becoming acquainted with Gen. Burnside, is constrained to set the following judg- ment up against the flood of abuse pour- ed out upon him : “Burnside looks and acts like a great man; and the manner in which he has managed the affairs of this Department, shows him to be a statesman as well as a General." The more we see of Burnside, the more we like him. He has done much for Kentucky. His order No. 38 has worked like a charm, and has given peace, quiet and security to many por- tions of the State which have been invest- ed by Rebel sympathizers and marauders. Previous to its publication, many parts of the State were blunted by Morgan’s men and other rebels, whose presence brought fear and terror, but since the enforcement there are none to be found within our lines, except a few desperate characters who come and go secretly, to act the spy Feud those are caught whenever found, 1 sad executed.” a our Captain was not careful, that Capt. . Capture of the Atlanta. WASHINGTON, J une 23.--The following dispatches were received today: Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy, Washington. Flag Ship Wa- bash, Port Royal Harbor, S. C. June 17th, 1863. SIR: Having reason to believe that the Atlanta and other rebel iron-clads, at Savannah, were about attempting to en- ter Warsaw Sound by Wilmington Riv- er, for the purpose of attacking the blockading vessels there and in the Sounds further south, I dispatched some days ago, the Weebauken, Capt. J no Rogers, from this port, and thc‘ Nahant, Commodore J. Downes, from North Edis- to, to Warsaw, where the Cimerone, commander Drake, was maintaining the inside blockade. I have the satisfaction to report to the department, this mor- ning that the Atlanta came down by Wilmington River into Warsaw Sound, and was captured. This information has just been received in a telegarm from Fort Pulaski, sent by Capt. John Rogers. Very respectfully, your obdient servant, S. F. DUPONT. NEWPORT NEws, June 22.—To Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy.— Admiral Dupout sent the Weehauken, Capt. J no Rogers, and the N abant,down to Warsaw Sound, to look out for the Atlanta, June 17, at 6 A. M. ‘ The Atlanta came down, accompa- nied by two gunboats. The engagement was exclusively between the Weehauken and Atlanta. The latter mounted 4 of the Brook rifles, 2 of seven-inch, on the bow and stern pivots, and two of six-inch on each end. She could fight two of the former and one of the latter on a side. Rogers engaged the rebel at close quar- ters. The first fifteen inch shot, fired by himself, took off the top of the Atlanta’s pilot home and wounded 2 of her three pilots. Another fifteen inch shot struck half way up her roof, iron-plated, four inches thick, killing one and wounding 17 men. Eleven shots were fired, in all— five by the Weebauken and six by the Atlanta. The latter got aground and surrendered. The fight was short, the victory signal. The Weehauken sustain- od no injury of any sort. The Atlanta steers well and made six knots against ahead sea, going to port Royal. She was completely provided with instru- ments and stores for a regular cruise. She had a ram, a saw, and torpedo on her how. Ex-Lleut. W. A. Webb com- manded her. Her complement was one hundred and sixty souls. The Atlanta is said to have come. down, confident of capturing the Monitors, easily, and her ccnsorts filled with spectators, were pre- pared to tow them to Sa.annah. She will soon be ready for active service, un- der the flag of the Union. (Signed) S. P. LEE, Acting Rear Admiral. H‘We copy from'the N. Y. Tribune’s special correspondent at Hilton head, the fol- lowing additional parliculars :— HILTON HEAD, S. 0., June 19, 1863. For months we have been expecting a visit from the rebel ram Fingal (Atlan. to). Last evening she came quietly into the harbor, not with the Rebel flag float- ing from her turret, but the stars and stripes spread to the breeze ; not with the roar of cannon and the crash of wooden hulls, but under the command of a Yankee Captain, a Yankee pilot, and a Yankee engineer. The Fingal, or the Atlanta as she is kubwn to the rebels, was captured by the monitor Weehaukcn, on the morning of the 17th inst., in the Warsaw sound, together with all her ofiiccrs and crew, numbering 165 souls, three mouths’ pro- visions, an immense amount of ammuni- tion, four heavy Brooke guns, resembling much the 200-pound Parrotts on the Ironsides, and papers of much value. She left Savannah on the evening of the 1.6th inst., accompanied by two pleas- ure parties on board of small wooden transports, who desired to witness the en- gagement between her and the Weebau- ken and the Nabaut, known to be lying in the sound, awaiting her approach. So sanguine were those pleasure seekers that the Fiugal would succeed either in cap- turing the monitors or successfully pass by them and reach the sea that it was not until she had been captured more than half an hour that they came to the conclusion that it would be better for them to return. The Fingal came forward boldly to the contest, and did not intend to fire a shot until within one hundred yards of the Weebauken. But the Weehuuken anticipated her. When within four bun- dred yards, she let fly one of her 15-inch solid shot, which struck the pilot-house of the Fingal square, knocked it clean of the vessel, seVCrely wounded two of mercy of the tide, which in a few min. utes drifted her ashore. In rapid suc- cession the Weebauken fired two more 15-inch shots and one ll-iucb into her starboard side, one of the first of which entered her forward port-hole and wound- ed 1’1 men at the gun. The others struck her solid sides but did not enter. Before the fifth shot was fired, Capt. Webb discovering that his vessel was entirely at the mercy of Capt. J obn Rog- tbe three pilots, and threw her at the flag and surrendered his vessel and crew to Capt. D. B. Harmon of the Nahant. This capture of the Fingel is altogeth- er the most brilliant naval achievement we have had in this Naval Department for many months. Admiral Dupout has been watching her ever since the capture of Port Royal. It will be remem- bered she was a Clyde-built steamer, which ran the blockade at Savannah early in the commencement of the war, was razeed and changed to the most for- midable rum in the Rebel service. One of her officers, with whom I have just conversed, informs me that she cost the Rebel Government nearly one million in specie. This, of Course, is exaggerated. She is prob‘y worth half the sum. She is 209 feet long, 55 feet wide, en- gine of 500-horse power, sides built at an angle of 35 degrees, and is thought by naval ofiicers here to be more imper- vious to shot than our Monitors. The outer plating consists of four inches of solid iron, and is firmly bolted upon 18 inches of pine timber. Her bulk head, from which the long ram projects, is 5 feet thick of solid iron and pine. The Ericcson torpedo, which we have at the bows of our owu Monitors, she has upon a much more practical plan, at the point of her ram. The machinery of the Fingal was not damaged in the least during the engage- ment. She sailed into port last evening at the rate of eight knots an hour, and the engineer informs me that he could have made ten if he had desired to. In this fight the loss was entirely on the side of the enemy Neither the Wee- bauken or the Nahant were hit. The first shot of the chhanken may be said to have captured the Fingal. WHAT THE REBELS EXPECTED To Do WITH THE ATLANTA. It is stated in a private letter received here from an officer of the Weehauken that the Atlanta cost one million of dol- lars, was supplied for along cruise, of the success of which in raising the blockade all along the coast, including the recapture of Port Royal, Norfolk and Portsmouth, and the destruction of the Washington Navy Yard, the most extravagant anticipations had been on- tertained by the Rebels. The Atlanta bore the new Rebel flag, which, under the law of the Rebel Congress, was not to be displayed till the first of July. The Atlanta bad the honor to be the first Rebel vessel to strike the new ban- ner of treason to the Stars and Stripes. The writer adds: “ If We Were stronger than the Atlanta I think it likely we were more humane also, for we were as kind to her officers as to brothers. One of them said to the captain of the Oleander tug, that brought the captured prisoners to Port Royal—‘You use us better than we should have used you. We should have put all you officers in double irons.’ ” .«gp. Another Cavalry Fight at Aldie. HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY Conrs Camp} near Upperville, 5:30 A. 31., June 21. Brig. Gen. 8. l/Vzlliams: ’ GENERAL—I moved with my command this morning to Middlebnrg and attacked the cavalry force of the rebels under Stu~ art, and steadily drove him all day, in- flicting heavy loss at every step. We took two pieces of artillery, one be- ing a Blakely gun. together with three casions, besides blowing one up. We al- so captured npwards of sixty prisoners and more are coming in, including a Lien- , tenant Colonel, Major and five other of- ficers, besides a wounded Colonel and a large number of wounded rebels left in the town of Upperville. They left their dead and wounded up- on the field. Of the former I saw np- wards of twenty. We took a large num- ber of carbines. pistols and sabres. In fact it was a most disastrous day to the rebel cavalry. Onr loss has been very small, both in men and horses. _ I never saw the troops behave better or under more difficult circustances.— Very many charges were made, and the sabre was used freely, but always with great adVantagc to us. A. PLEASANTON, Brig. Gen. 3..-. The .paper trash called confederate “money” passes at Only four cents on the dollar, even at the secession rendezvous, Nassau. An intercepted letter from a Southerner there to his partner at 00- lumbus, Ga, bewails the financial de- crepitude of the Southern confederacy as disclosed in this and Other facts of like import, and winds up with the declara- tion that the time is surely approaching when confederate money will not be worth the paper it is made on. _—_—‘..‘.» The Philadelphia Bulletin, says that within a few days the full force of fifty thousand men that the President called for from Pennsylvania will be under arms and ready to march against the enemy, wherever he may be. New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio are do- ing equally well. The effective army of the United States will thus be suddenly increased by fully one hundred thousand men, in the space pf about one week. 0‘0.

W. Eaton, Esq., the Grand Paniaudrum of your Connecticut copperheads. I have been reading his nullification resolutions and speech all through. Who could have supposed that after nullification had been scared to death in South Carolina by stout old democratic Andrew Jackson, and well buried, that it would scramble snbterraneanly northward—“Well said, old molel canst werk in the earth so fast?”—and come up all at once in Con- necticut? a rotten, stinking Lazarus of hell, cursed into life by a copperhead devil for its Christ! A worthy resurrec- tion! As the Ohio copperhead nomina- ting convention recently cried out—doubt less holding their noses the while—Pugh! SoIlook east and west, and hold my nose and cry Pugh, Eaton! Pugh! I was pretty well satisfied, on the whole, with Mr. Wright’s answer. But it was not so much his arguments that kicked Eaton and his damnable copperhead What-is-itl out of court, as the mere recognition of the creature. All that needed to be plausible Mr. Eaton introduced, “And the stranger’s guise fell off, And a phantom form stood there- A grinning, and ghastly, and horrible thing, With rot ten and milldewed hair.” —But no teeth. J acksonian dentistry had knocked those down the beast’s throat It was nullification. And Eaton and his corpse were hustled out together as fast as possible, and there was 'a loud call for ventilation and chloride of lime—Pugh I Is there any use in dealing seriously with such stuff? Does Mr. Panjandrnm Eaton suppose that by rattling a dead man’s played-out thunder he can scare the United States out of thirty years growth? Let him bang away. What- ever of real argument there is in his speech may be properly dealt with by a para- ble. And here it is.. Audit don’t need to be a very good one either. A POOR PARABLE FOR THE PANJANDRUI. There was once a very polite man, of excessive gentlemanliness and consistent and stringent beyond measure in the ob- servance of all the rules of polite society He was so very polite that he received for his politeness and regard for the rules of society the honorable surname of Grand Panjandrum. His brother lived in the house with him. Now this polite gentle- man came home one evening and found his brother’s wife, in a very dangerous case; for a villiain had flung her down on the floor, was holding her down, by the throat, and sawing away very deliber- ately at her throat with a rather dull knife. The polite man came in, and dis- discovering what was going on, folded his arms and looked on attentively. The poor woman unable to speak, looked up at the polite man with eyes of beseecbing agony, and moveda little under the mur- derer’s bands, who however kept sawing away very much at his case, and her blood ran down on the floor. The polite man however understood that she wished him to help her escape alive, and be an- swered like a man of the most scrupulous principle. This is what he said: “I re- gret, madam.”—bere be made a bow, un- folded his arms from before him, and fol- ded them behind him—"not to be able to be of any service to you under these trying circumstances. But I have not been introduced to this gentleman. I cannot therefore take the liberty of ad- dressing bim. The constitution of socie- ty must not be violated under any cir- - cumstances whatever! I will endeavor to find some mutual acquaintance who shall be able to introduce me to this gentleman and I have no doubt that I shall then be able to'indnce him by means consistent with the constitution of society to spare yourlife. But at preent, it is evidently my , duty to see that he is let alone.” And with remarkable presence of mind, the Grand Panjandrum put on his bat and walked out for somebody to introduce him.
