FROM THE SOUTH.

Savannah, June 6.
Arrived at Tybee yesterday morning,
the United States schooner, Lynx, lieut..
com. John II. Madison. capt. john H.
Elton, formerly Of the Saranac, came
passenger III her. We are happy to see
among US this gallant and distinguished
officer. We understand capt. X had
some tirae since requested to be released
from his command, which has been gran
ted, and he is now on his way TO the
north. Capt, Dallas, who went through
this city week since, had arrived at St.
Mary's, and ha. taken command Of the
Saranac. We presume it is the inten-
ton Of capt. Elton, to resume the CON-
mapd in the course Of a few months-he
has had some active and aIduous duties
to perform, and we wish him speedy
restoration to health.
The United states ship John Adams,
commodore Henley, was to sail for New
York in lew days. to change her arma-
ment. Capt. dallas with the Salanac,
Prometheus, Finch. Lynx. Madison, and
Gun.yessel 1863, remain on the station.
An ARRAY took place Il st. Mary's in
which several Of the officers of the army
and navy, with number Of citizens we're
engaged. Col. Hopkins and sevcra' o.
Tiers were wounded. We have not
learnt the origin Of the dispute, neither
do we know any Of the particulars Of
this unpleasant renconfre.
