He said the rebels At the fort had learned Of

evacuating the place. They were greatly de-
pressed BY the news, and freely admitted that
their cause was now hopeless. One Of the or

the iron-clad gunboats Of Commodore Foote'S
hotills, there have been for some time in the
course of building feet Of eight steam rams,
to be added to the Mississippi feet Six Of
them are on the stocks At Pittsburg; the others
At st. Louis They were formerly used as tow
boats, and are the best and strongest craft on
the river. The bulls and machinery are nearly
new. They are to be overhanled and strength
ened, the hulls by additional bulkheads and solid
beams Of immense strength. The bows will be
rendered almost solid mass Of timber and iron
and provided with projecting ram, which will
demolish any thing with which IL may come in
contact. Two or three of these formidable war
vessels are already launched, and nearly ready
for service. What armament they are to carry
