THE TEN GUNBoAf STORY.

Chicago special dispatches are notorious for
their sensational, untruthful character, but that
which the telegraph furnishes, on the authori.
ty OF the Chicago Tms', outstrips all prece-
dent. II Ia that ten gunboats, mailed with six
inches Of iron, and mounting from ten to
fhi,ty guns each, built In England for the
rebels, have broken the blockade OF Mobile
by dint Of superior strength and weight Of
metal, and opened that port to the commerce Of
the world. The dispatch does not explain how
these iron-clad gunboas were built without any
body here knowing anything about II, where
they were provided with the armament, or how
they left England % quietly that nothing of their
departure was heard. Absence Of all previous
knowledge Of these points are sufficient to de-
sroy the reliability Of the story but II this IL not
sufficient we need only mention that Richmond
papers to the 9th ultimo, make no record Of the
extraordinary performances Of this mythical feet
Of iron clad gunboats.
