says:
Last night during a heavy thunder storm, a
Morton, made a dash for liberty. They were
encouraged to do this by the fact that nearly one
half of the guard force had been withdrawn on
Saturday by Governor Morton, and sent into
Kentucky, to aid Gen. Boyle, leaving only about
half the usual number Of men on duty. Not
withstand this, and the darkness of the night,
FIVE of the prisoners were killed outright and a
number severely wounded, some of whom will
die.
Several were recaptured to-day, and scouts
are on the track of the rest.

IPORTAST PROM RICHMOND.
MOBILE SILENT.

We have had the pleasure of peTusing a copy
Of the Mobile AdUeTtissr OF the 18th instant, and
are surprised 10 find no MENTION made of the
city of Richmond in its columns. This city, sit
uated upon the banks of the James river, in the
State of Virginia, has had claims upon the at
tention of the rebel mind in days gone by, and
the acts Of the citizens of that town have at
times been made the subject ef considerable re-
max in the papers OF Alabams. It's day is
over. The utter defeat of the rebel forces con-
gregated there, and the presence Of the fellow
eTs Of the "star ~spangled banner in its streets,
make it forever more, until 81 least odd glory
waves over the city halls Of Mobile and Mont
gOmery, a place Of no moment to the publishers
Of the fancies Of the reliable man. ," Let US
hear no more p~roclamstions e~xtOlling the con-
duct Of troops about to be annihilated. We
commend to the attention of Mr.. Davis the an
Gent saw do not halo until you are out Of
the woods" RICHMOND HAS FALLEN.
The most important item of intelligence is
that POrter's mortar feet had returned to New
Orleans 1t is announced by the Picayaae as TO-
lows:
RETURN CT PORTE8's MORTAR FLEET The
return of Capt. Porter aud his feet of mortar
boats from Vicksburg, yesterday, attracted no
little attention on the part of the Sunday Insure
people about the leves. The report by the fleet
is that Yicksburg has been badly damaged, and
is entirely evacuated by the citizens.
The Delta treats it thus
Commodore Porter arrived in town to-day
from Vicksburg. We learn from a gentleman
who accompanied him that the city is badly
battered-thst the inhabitants have cleared out,
and that there is great destitution among the
rebel troops. The Louisiana men are constant
ly deserving from Van Dom, who proves him
self a coarse bravadO, The rebels are short Of
provisions.
Wonder what Porter told the editor about the
Arkansas ram. As to the deserters in Van
Dorn's army, and the shortness of provisions
among the rebels, that is al Yankee fancy work.
The Federal fleet has failed at Yicksburg Just as
Mcclellan did at Richmond.
Except the following from the Picayuue, we
find nothing more worth copying:
GEN. BUTLER AND THE BRITISH Consul.
We learn that the difficulty between Gen. Butler
aud Mr.. Coppell, the acting British Consul in
This city, has been satisfactorily settled that
COppell has been recognized by tho Score
lary of the State at Washington, snd that Gen.
Butler so regards him and that Mr.. Coppell is
n the full exercise OF all the privileges and
Of her Bri.snic Msjesty's representa-
in this city. We hear that Mr.. Hure, the
Consul for this city, IS still detained in
by sickness.
