The Newport Mercury publishes an interesting letter from Key Wst, dated March 10. We copy the following extract : Fort Taylor is rectangular in shape; that is, it has three regular fronts and one irregular or gorge front. It rests on an artificial island; the ba?e sixteen feet high and eight feet thick, is of Northern granite bedded in the coral. The fort is constructed of Pensacola brick, the walls being eight feet thick. It has four bastions which rake the front with twenty-four pound howitzers. It has two tiers of casements armed with eight incli columbia l. The tier plane, or upper tier, has forty-four ten-inch swivel guns and twelve ten-inch travice guns. The fort has but one entrance or posteri,,' which is nine feet wide. The gorge iVoiit is CO feet in length, and the three ot!,tr fronts are 320 feet each. The fort is about 1,200 feet from the f-hore, and is connected by a temporary bridge, but when completed, this space will be finished for ofliccrs' quarters, 03 a dyke sixty feet wide will be built and covered. Tin- short line will have a lrt-a.?t-high wall, defended by six twel ve-inch columbiads. With the completion of this covered way the lort will be completed, and will be one of the strongest in the world. Owing to the disturbed state of the country, Captain Hunt, on his arrival last fall, immediately commenced to put the fort in a proper state of defence. This was done by removing tho wharf at the west front, constructing; a drawbridge and closing the. lower parts except those occupied by guns. He has continued through tbe winter to strengthen the fort in every possible man ner, and alter making it impregnable, he gave the military department to Captain Urer.nan, First Artillery, United States Army. The force to be stationed at the fort will consist of three companies of artillery under Major French, who is on bis way from Texas. Besides the work done to put the fort upon a war footing, a very great amount of work has been done toward completing it, tho number of men employed being &b'nt one hundred, forty of which are slaves. The men are very orderly and free from dissipation, and not only willing to work for an honest living, but, if need be, fight for the Union. The health of the men has been unusually good so far, and they expect to close their work about the middle of April, Had not Captain Hunt placed the fort in the state of defence as soon as he arrived here, it would have been in the hands of the Secessionists, but by his foresight the fort is preserved to the Government, who can hold it as long as they desire. Tbe town of Key West is situated on an island six miles long and two wide, the highest elevation of which is about twelve feet above the level of the sea. The population is about 3,S00, 500 of which are negroes, the rest are a heterogeneous Bet from all quarters but the larger part are known as Conks, from the Bahama Islands. Their occupation is gathering sponge, of which they sell about $100,000 worth per year; many of the inhabitants are wreckers, and the rest get a living by their wits. There are but very few old Southern families here. On the Island are four churches, a court house, jail, and two whipping p03ts. Drunkenness abounds. License for selling liquor, v50 per annum. For drinking the penalty is either four hours in the sweat box, 20 fine, or 39 lashe3. The federal officers here are all disunionists, but a majority of the people are for the Union, and are true, and would make good oflicers far the government, if desired. But I must now bid you good-bye. A Washington Capitalist on ;tle Snullurn Confederacy The Southern Loan and Southern Uuslnesw. From I7,e rhiladvlnhia Sort 1 mericuu, March 30. We yesterday met a gentleman from Washington, a Southerner by birth, extensively known as a capitalist and banker. In order to obtain his viws relative to the st'ttus on "Southern Confederacy," we asked questions, which were answered as follows : " You are acquainted with Mr. Riggs, the Washington banker, sir ?'' "Intimately. When at home I see him every day.'1 " Is there any truth in the statement that he intends to take a portion of the Southern loans '!" " Not a word. He would not touch a dollar of it, aud for the simple reason that he would lose it if he did." "Do you think that any Washington banker will take it, or any part of it?" " No sir. What is more, nobody outside of the 'Confederate States' will touch it, aud the Secessionists have no money to spare. The Northern bankers will never lend money to people who have done as the Cotton States have done." "Will foreign capitalists do it?" " No, sir. In my opinion a people who have seceded from the Government, and rob bed the Federal Union cf its property, can never obtain credit from anybody. They may put an export duty of a cent a pound

upon cotton; and, by so doing, raise a revenue of $26,000,000, but this money, after

I ah, will come from their own pocket." " How so ! "Because the necessities of the Cotton States are such that they must sell. The planters are too largely in debt to hold the crop, and the aggregate is so large that tha brokers cannot do it. For this reason the Southern Confederacy must ultimately bring up in bankruptcy. They cannot hold together for more than a year without producing general ruin." " But do you believe that they suffer as much as we do ?" " More. Their business has dwindled away, and their railroad i's.ceipts have fallen off forty per cent. There are enough good men in the South to redeem it from the Secessionists, and the time is not far distant when this will be done." We lfftthe gentleman with the great satisfaction of knowing that there is a large number of persons yet having confidence in the sterling sense of the people, and in the ultimate restoration of fraternity nmenj the" people of all the States. The Old Flao. We saw one of the old flags, the "stars and stripes," sent up town thi3 morning to decorote thehouse of one of our first citizens, in whose family an event takes place, of which it was so recently an emblem a union. A pretty and appropriate idea will be carried out in thus unfolding the old banner that waved in the battle and tho breeze. It reminded ua of Mr. Fuqua's eloquent words in the convention, depicting the procession, when delegates and dignitaries and armed columns passed by the time honored flag without a recognition, but as the bnnd of gallant old veterans of 18M-15 marched past, they raised their hats, reverently bowed their heads, and waved the tattered but glorious old banner they had borne through the thickest of the fight on the plains of Chal ruette, in compliment to the flag of the uni tea country or their manhooa. Ana he, a delegate to the convention, honored them in his heart for the act. Whenever our young friends are bent on matrimonial felicity, we shall be happy to lend them a flag that will symbolize their "united state." A. O. True Delta. TV, THE PUBLIC.

AYER'S <Sarsaparilla>. A compound remedy, designed to be the most effectual Alterative that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so cn',ihiixd with other snbstancea of slill greater alterative power as to art'ord au effective antidote fnrtbodiseases Sarsaparilla ia reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wauted by those wh- "uper from Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must provp of immcose service to this lare portion of our atTiicted fellow citizeus. How completely this compound will do it has lwen proven by experiment on many of too worst cases to be found of the followii g ooniplaints : SCRCFl l.A ASI Sl BOFVLOl COMF1 A INTS. I.BrrTI0SB AND EltCPTlVF. Dlf)EA8ES, I l.CI'RS, PlMPI.F-, Blotches, Tcmors, Salt RitEfJt. Scald Head, Svj rums and Syphilitic Affections, Mercf-rial D'Seare, Dropst, Necralgia orITic IoLfviu:vr, Debility, Dyspepsia ake Isdiofstion, Krvsipklas, Rose or St. Anthony's Fir, and indeed tiie whi le class of complaint j arising from Iaipcritv of tiie Blood.. This comporfrid w ill be found a civat prom. -tor ot health, when taken in the spriot-, to expel the foul humors wiiicb t" ster in the 1 !... .it ih:u ee;is.ui of the year. By Cio timely expuUion ot them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spure themselves from the endurance of foul ernptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system wi.l tiy to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do thin through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated bl.Kd whenever you find its impurities bursting through tbe skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when yu nod it is obstructed and s!ufr?ih in the veins ; cleanse il whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people erji.y better health, and live longer, for clemsin the bloed. Keep the bh.ed healthy and all is well ; but with this i.abulntn of life disordered there can bo no lasting health. Sooner or later something must (ro wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla Iuih, and deserve much, the reputation of accomplishing thise ends. But the world has been epregionsly deceived by preparations ol it, partly because the druc alono has not all v ii tue that is claimed for it. but more because many prep, arations, pretending to lie concentrated extracts of it, contain but little ol the virtue of sarsaparilla, or any thing else. During late yearn the public has been misled by lt.rge bcttles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Mosttf these have been frauds upon the gick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, hitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts ot Sarsaparilla which fi od the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become pynonymou9 with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, ami intend to aupnly such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy w hich rests upon it. Aud we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by tho ordinary run of the diseases it Is intended to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remt- ly sbould be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. TREPAUED II V Dr. J. C.
