Too MUcH OF a Coon THlsG.-Potter
of the Milwaukee Wisconsin,, has been
presented with a dozen Or more Tribune
Almanacs for 1861. The last one came
from the Wholesale Book and Stationery
firm Of Terry d Cleaver; having had a
surfeit Of the article, Potter ''slops over as
follows:
"Now by he powers that be let it be
recorded, that we will have no more Tri-
bune Almanacs. If any thoughtless indi-
yidual enters into orr presence hereafter
with another Tribune Almanac to notice,
let him beware Of consequences. The Al

A Coon UNI was on visit to the
Crescent City, some three years ago. |
arose early one morning, and concluded |
would visit the market, and, while there,
the following conversation, be-
tween a Louisiana planter and regular
sour krout Dutchman. The Dutchman
had basket Of bull pups for sale. The
planter approached him, thus:
my friend, are those genuine bull pups
If they are would like to purchase one,
as | have long desired to own genuine
bulldog"
"oh yah disah is fine bull puppies; der
mudder was three quarter bull, and der
fadder was three quarter bull. Pat makes
bull and a half-fne bull puppies.r'
II is useless to say that this Touchdown
argument was sufficient; SO the planter
took the lot.

WAsHnaToE, Nov. %.
Dispatches received to-day st the NAVY
Department, from Flag OHieer Dupont dated
ct Port Royal, 25th inst, give the gratifying
intelligence that the flag Of the United States
is flying over the territory Of the State Of
Georgia. Tybee Island, which he SAYS il
within easy mortar distance Of Fort Pulaski.
has been taken possession Of, and the ap-
proaches to Savannah completely cut o1f. On
the island is strong maEtellO tower, with
battery at Its base.
The following is the Philadelphia Inouir-
er's Pensacola report:
FoRE MoHROE, Nov. 81.
Passengers by flag Of truce from Norfolk
this morning, furnish sons further news In
regard TO the fght 81 Fort Piekens. These
particulars, it must be remembered, come
through rebel sources. Gen. Bragg had not
made q breach in the Fort Is was before re-
ported. Great excitement was preFsleut
throughout the South respecting the battle,
Bat it was thought Bragg would be able 70
force Col. Brown to surrender.
A MESSENGER arrived from Pensacola On
Sunday last with psremptory order for re-
Inducements. Bragg was at that time hope
ful Of an early success, and was replying at
intervals upon the Fortress with great effect.
His regular SaiD0S are described as being real.
y terrible. The General was perfectly cool
and confident No breach bzd yet been made,
but on Monday one would be manifest when
Bragg eXpectei reinforeements, and would
storm with fresh troops and ordinances
Col Brown had concentrated q perfect
storm Of shot and shell upon The Navy Yard,
burning it down. together with all the cut
buildings and q considerable amount Of ord
nance stores.
Pensacola had been evacuated By order of
Gen. Bragg.
Col Brown had called 10 his assistance Eve
vessels Of war, all Of which had been driven
Of BY the batteries. The steam frigate Mag
ara was almost riddlsd with shot snd the
Colorado thoroughly disabled.
Gen. Bragg had declared to bis troops that
he-EOuld never surrender alive, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed among the
men.
On Tuesday Con, Bragg would engage
Col. Brown in front and land a large force On
the Island, 90 as to take him in thsrear. Il
is generally believed that an action has taken
place at Pensacola between our vessels and
the rebels, and that Bragg has been whipped,
Pensacola burned, and probably Brazs's 3
whole force captured.
The despatches in the Southern papers
have no apparent end or bearing, and are
very meagTe.
