SCENE AT A PICKET Posr Persons

are stopped and carefully examined, in
order that nothing contraband may be
carried out to the rebels. Men are
searched by the soldiers on picket, while
women are conducted to houses near by.
where female searchcrs perform the same
interesting operation, obligng their sub
jects to disrobe as much as is necessary.

DN~ How Farrayut fights his ships
may be inferred from the post he took
in passing the forts, and during the after
contest with the rebel vessels in Mobile
Bay Desiring to overlook the whole
scene as well as practicable, to note at
once what the enemy and his own fleet
were doing, he took position in the main
top of the Hartford, where lie was Iashed
fast. He had a speaking trumpet run
ming down to the deck, where an officer
was stationed to receive the Admral's
orders and transmit them to the proper
executive officer. From this elevation a
commanding view of the who'e contest
was obtained, and of course much more
intelligent action was practicable in case
of unlocked for emergencies. We have
heard before of going into action with
"colors nailed to the mast" But We
believe this is the first instance we bave
known Of lashing the Admiral 10 Il c
mast. Farragut apparently has no idea
of such thing as failure. That is the
sort Of men who don't fail.
