THE NEWS FROM MOBILE.

No official dispatches from our fleet off
Mobile have as yet been received at the Navy
Department. The news through rebel sources
is, however, sufficiently indicative Of the
danger they consider Mobile to be in from
Farragut's guns. The reported loss of the
Tecumseh is not an item worthy OF being taken
into consideration at all. in view OF the victory
achieved by Admiral Farragut.
We are inclined, however, to doubt that the
Tecumseh was sunk, as reported.

AVERILL'S VICTORY,

The number Of guns captured by Averill, at
Moorfeld on Sunday, was four, all that the
rebels had there. He had captured 400 pris-
oners before the pursuit commenced, and after
that picked them up momentarily to a number
not vet definitely ascertained. When the rebel
General Brad. johnson was captured he bore
no insignia Of rank, and it was not known that
he was In our hands until after he had escaped.
This is the second time he has got or when in
our hands lately.

Through the sombre twilight gray and cold,
Walks bis lonely beat to-niy ht
Tho tents Of his comrades cluster near
Like shocks OF Iipened grain,
OF the hearts they shelter. now warm and brave,
Many, msny will lie in the silent grave,
Fer the light shall come again.
The Sentry halts iA his weary round,
And gazes across the plain;

And hsars but the sigh of the damp night breeze

He thinks as he PAGES to and fro,
ofhis dear New England home,
or his mother, who prsys or her absent son,
OF the Angel face Of dearer one,
Ana the scalding tears will come.
He dashes the manly drops away,
And oiutohing his rifle true,
Strides over his beat with heightened pace,
Still seeing th.t loved and absent face.

singular sound comes through the gloom,
The soldiers quick challenge calling,
Sudden and clear. Southern cheer.
And the galloping fett OF squadrons near,

Sabre stroke ringing on barrel of steel,
Leaden showers raining round.
Brave men ara falling by brave men slain,
And returning to sesp-their long sleep-again
On the cold Implying ground.
ALI lie over. the camp 10 quiet again;
Aud the news on wings Of light,
Sire through the North, bringing words Of woe,
To the home OF tho sentry brave and true.
Who stood TO his post that night
