 Later from Pensacola.


 For several days past there has been great rejoicing over the recent triumph of our arms in Virginia. A general order granted one entire day of holiday to the army, besides "wiping out" all charges against delin- quents of military duties.
 By permission, many efforts have been made-and in some instances, 1t is thought, successfully-to convey the late federal dis comforts in Virginia, to our neighbors at Fort Pickens. A dog, with light bottle suspended to his neck, containing Mobile Advertiser Columbus Sun, and Montgom cry Mail, giving full accounts ofthe battle of Manassas, was taken on small boat near the Island this morning and dispatch ed an unwilling messenger to the abolition ists drilling on Santa Rosa. Of the suc- cess of the enterprise we shall hear some thing this evening.
 Another deserter from fort Plckens was picked up last night in the sound by one of the boats of Captain Lovel's harbor po- lice fleet. He had attempted the passage to our side on log, and was in an almost exhausted condition when discovered. He was taken aboard, kindly treated, and con- veyed to the navy-yard. He tells about the same tale as Boothby, who came over week ago, and says that Boothby's deser- tion was discovered about twenty-four hours after he left. He says there is much dissatisfaction among some of the regulars; that they don't want to fight; but enlisted to serve their flag against foreign foes, and not for the purpose of cutting the throats of their brothers, and that many of them would act as he has if they had half chance. Billy Wilson's men complain of the man. ner of their treatment by their government; that they went aboard the Vanderbilt, as they understood, for Washington, but she sailed under sealed orders for Fort Pickens. He represents them as very turbulent set, fighting, growing, and stealing everything within their reach.
 PENSACOLA, July 2S.-Fearing the dog messenger had not reached Col, Brown al Fort Pickens, some of the officers of the harbor police fleet yesterday afternoon near the beach of Rosas island launched, flying Confederate coors, small, full rigged bark, bearing particulars of the late fight, and consigned to Billy Wilson. Some of the colonels roughs soon discovered the tiny vessel, and so anxious were they of the prize, that one of them waded to his mid dle, seized her under his arm, and bore her, colors and all, in the direction of the colo nel's marquee, where, no doubt, they spent an agreeable evening in perusing their own accounts of the rout, slaughter and disgrace that befell their arms at Manassas. No doubt they have picked up many 8 bottle within the last two or three days, giving them full particulars of the whole affair, as they were seen this morning wandering up and down the beach, apparently looking for something to turn up."
 Another war steamer arrived yesterday. She is lying this afternoon near the Cobra do frigate. Several transport vessels have been discharging cargoes the past week.
 The deserter picked up in the sound Fri day night, and referred to in my last, says the federalists have immense stores on the island-that they are daily looking for ten thousand men, and that it is their intention to land and take Gen. Bragg in the rear.
