Itsms from:the Mlssls.lppI FIOtIlla.

We were favored on yesterday with
a call from Captain Foster of the Navy,
who came North on a visit to his home
in Bloomington Captain Foster com
msnds the naval forces on the Missis-
sippi, from Natchez to the mouth of
Red River, and informs US that eleven
vessels are employed in the squadron
under his charge His quarters are on
the Lafayette, which he claims to be
the best gunboat on the river We
learned also that the number of armed
vessels employed in the Mississippi Is
over one hundred This is more than
twice the number Of serviceable vessels
belonging TO the navy at the commence
ment OF the war, and is an evidence
of the vigor with which this branch Of
the public service has been pushed to
