NEW YORK, March 25. – The brig Island Blade has arrived from
Ft. Pickens, with dates to the 11th inst. And Key West to the 17th.
The impression was that Gen. Bragg had left Pensacola, and
parties with glasses say the rebel guns had been turned in-land, probably in
expectation of a visit from Gen. Butler.
Four contrabands, who escaped say there are but 3,000 troops
at Pensacola, and that they are poorly armed.
