The loyal editions are cramped, and the Yankee

IMPORTANT FROM RICHMOND.
On Friday dispstch was received st Mobile,

There is no doubt that Gen Mcclellan has
renewed the combat, and that Ee Is gaining
upon the enemy.
i rises to a higher On the 18th, and treats US
to the following:
MOBILE SILENT.
We have had the pleasure Of perus;ng copy
of the Mobile 1drer3ser Of the lIlh instant, and
are surprised to fad 10 mention made of the
city Cf Richmond ia lis columns. This city, SIT
mated upon the bsnks of tho James river, in tho
State Of Virginia, has had claims upon the a.
tentiou Of the rebel mind in days gone by, and
tie acts Of the citizens Of that town have at
times been made the subject sf considerable re-
maIk in the papers ot Alabama. Its dsy is
over. The utter defeat Of the rebel forces con
grogsted there, and The presence cf the fellow
ers of the star spangled banner IN its streets,
make il forever more, until st least old EiuEy'
waves over the city halls Of Mobile and Mont
gcm5ry, place Of no moment 10 the publishers
of the faDcies Of the reliable mau. Ls- US
hear 10 more proclamGlons eZtoling the con-
dUst Of troops aboat to be annIhilstcd. We
commend TO the attention Of Mr. Davis the al
cent saw: DO nos halo until you are cut Ct
tie woods RICHMOND has FALLEN.
The most important item of intelligence is
tha. Port-r's mortar feet had returned to New
Orleans !, is announced by tie PicGyuae as fol-
lows:
RETURN OF POBTER's MORTAR FLEET The
return Of Capt. Porter aud his feet of mortar
boats from Eicksburg, yesterday, attracted no
lttle attention On the part Of the Sunday leisure
people about the lev5e. The report by The fleet
Is thgt Fic,1sJurg has been badly damsg and /
is entirely evscua:ed by the citizens.
The Della treats it thus:
Commodore Porter arrived in town today |
from NicksbuTg. We learn from a gentleman /
who accompanied him that the city is badly |
battered-tlat the inhabitants have cleared ont, !
ard that there IS great desdtUtion among the
rebel troops. The Louisiana men are constant !
ly descrting from Van Dom, who proves him
self coarse braTadO. Tue rebels are short Of !
provisions.
Wonder what Porter told the editor about the
Arkansas Iam. As to the deserters in Van
D5rn's army, and the shortness Of provisions |
among the rebels, that is ali Yankee fancy work.
Tie Federal feet has failed G. Yicksburg Just as
Mcclellan did at Richmond.
Except the following from the Picaygnc, we
find nothing more worth copying:
GEN. BUTLER AND THE BRITISH Consul. |
We learn that the difficulty between Gen Butler |
and Mr. Coppell, the acting British Consul in /
tins city, has been satisfactorily settled that
Mr. Coppell has been recognized by the Secre- !
EsTy Of the State at Washington. and that Gen /
Butler so regards him; and that Mr. Coppell is 1
in The full exercise of sll the privileges and |
functions Of her Britsnic Msjesty's representa- |
tive in this city We hear that Mr.. Mure, the /
British Consul for this city, is still detained in
London by sickness.
