COMMODORE FARRAGUT.
Congratulatory Order OF
Secretary Welles for
His Gallant Services
at Mobile.

WASHINGTON, August l6.-The Secretary of
the Navy has addressed! the following to Ad-
miral Farragut -
NAVY DEPARTMENT, August Is, lS6i.-Sir: -
Your despatch of the, jth instant, stating that
you had, on the morning of that day, entered
Mobile Bay, passing between Forts Morgan and
Gaines, and encountering and overcoming the
Rebel feet, had the satisfaction to receive this
day.
Some preliminary account of your operations
had previously reached us through Rebl
channels.
Again it Is my pleasure and my duty TO CON
eratuate you and your brave associates on an
achievement uncqualed in our service
by any other commander, and only sur
passed by that unparalleled naval triumph
of the squadron under yPur command in the
spring of 1862, when, proceeding up the Missis-
sippi, you passed Forts Jackson and ST. Philip,
and overcoming all obstacles, captured New
Orleans and restored lmobstructed nayig ition
to the commercial emporium of the great central
valley of the Union.
The bay of Mobile was not only fortified aud
guarded by forts and batteries on shore and by
submerged obstructions, but the Rebels had
also collected there a formidable deet
commanded by their highest naval officer,
a former captain in the Union Navy, who,
false TO the Government and the Union had de-
serted his country in the hour of peril, and
leveled his guns against the flag which 1t was
his duty to have defended.
The possession of Mobile Bay, which you have
acquired, will close the Illicit traffic which has
been carried on by running the blockade in that
part Of the Gulf and gives point and value to the
success you have achieved. Great results in war
are seldom obtained without great risks, aud 1t
was not expected that the possession of the
harbor Of Mobile would be secured without dis
aster.
The less Of the gallant Craven and his brave
companions with the TeoumSeh, a vessel that was
inyulnerable TO the guns Of Fort Morgan, by O
concealed torpedo, was casualty which nc
human foresight cou'd event.
While the nation awards cheerful honors to the
living, she will ever hold in grateful remem
brance the memory of the gallant and lamented
dead, who periled their lives for their country
and died in her cause.
To you and the brave officers and sailors Of
your squadron who participated in this grea
achievement, the Department tenders it's thanks
and those of the Government and country.
Very respectfully, GIDEON WELLEs,
Secretary of the Navy.
Rear-Admiral DAVID G. FARRAGUT, Command
ing West Gulf Blockading Squadron, Mobil
Bay.

day. The steamers Kate Robinson, Jenny Per
Eins, Nightingale Famine, Brandon, and clara
HAL were aground at that place and were cap
tuIed, with large amount of stock aboard. The
captured boats were compelled to pay seyera
thousand dollars each TO save them from dc,
struction.
LOUISVILLE, August l5.-Passengers arriving
at New Albany, Ind, say that Johnson, with a
body of Rebel cavalry, is threatening Henderson,
Kentucky. Our garrison there is composed
chiefly OF negro soldiers, who are under the pro-
lection of our gunboats, which are ready TO shell
the town in case the Rebels succeed in getting in
there.
Many of the inhabitants are fleeing north OF
the Ohio river.
Captain J. II. Terry, for a long time an active
and efficient member of the Quartermasters De-
partment here, has been appointed and assigned

Her captain, John Wood, was quite free aud
uBconCerned in his talk with US, aud said he
could steam sixteen knots an hour, and had
crossed the British Channel ltwcnty-one mileD IN
seventy two minutes
lie would not fight, he said, unless compelled
to, and preferrd to run, as his vessel was so fast
He also observed that within one week he nd
destroy ed over fifty vessels, and that within thirty

build, schooner rgged, has no yards or topmasts,
and lost her mainmast in collision with he
idriatic.
She is very long marrow vessel. burns soft

and she had three or four negroes on board, who
did not appear very Jolly.

fine condition.
General Sheridan in despatch Of the 1lth
instant, reports that the stories of plunder

humbugs. They have very little-just enough
to subsist upon and no more, most of which
has been taken from the Shenandoah valley.
In another depatch, dated the 18th of
August, he ays:-"General Early's train is
avery small one, not exceeding 250 wagons,
and the stories about accumulated plumber
from Maryland are untrue"
The Department has received an unofficial
report from Fortress Monroe that movements
were being made yesterday in front of Peters
burg, but owing to the telegraph line being
broken, no information has been received from
headquarters.
The Department is without any recent in
telligence from Atlanta.
The Rebel papers received here say nothing
about Mobile since the capture Of Fort Gaines

WAsuNoIoN, August lG.
The star says the mail-boat Hstp,8 from City
Point reports that the movement Of the "a Corps
mp the james river on saturday night resulted
in the routing Of q considerable Rebel fJ7re 40
Dutch Gap, and the capture OF live hundred rri-
soDers and seven pieces of artillery.
The position occupied by the enemy is said 20
have been 4 strong one, and is now occupied by
our troops, who are able to hold il.
The Report took down from Bermuda Hun
dred TO Fortress Monroe over one hundred
prisoners from this light, about forty OF whom
claim TO BE- lescrters. There was but little hard
lighting done, as Hancock accomplished his pur-
pose by a skilfuly executed leiut, and q sur
prise. Consequently our loss is small, being
estimated less than one hundred. Previous TO the
movement up the river, the troops were placed
upon transports, and moved down Ostcnati1usly
TO below Harris0n's Landing, thus completely
deceiyng the Rebels who at ono, supposed that
the siege Of Petersburg and Richmond was being
raised
Under cover OF the night the troops were turned
up river again, and the result was a COM plete
surprise of the enemy.
Our troops have nov gained it is said. an
important position within tao miles Of Fort
Darling.

THE TYLER ROMANCE.
Private Kick, the hero Of the Tyler rom lnce
made bis appearance in camp a few days since
lie says that his bride is niece, not daughter,
OF eN-Presioent Tyler. During the transit OF the
army from the ChckahOminy to the James, many
Of our officers visited the Tyler mansion and saw
the young lady there, whom they supposed, trOm
her name Miss Tyler to be the late Chief M lgis-
trates daughter. Indeed, IL ! am not mistakon,
the aged relative introduced several Of our geno-
rails to her as such.
BE the facts as they may, il was the repOrt here
when wrote, that the soldier was married 10
daughter OF President Tyler. With all due
Difference then to a lady's statement, Is Mrs.
Tyler fully correct in the assertion that my
account was pure invention :"
Chapter III Of the romance Is one the conclu-
sion OF which leaves the happy pair in anything
but happy condition. After marriage they
made their way mp the James river to Is B.rmudi
Hundred or City Point, where the bride remained
while the bridegroom started for his regiment to
CnBlneti lurlOughs
Ills application was, believe, backed by Gene
raj Butler, and came through the headquarters
of General Potter who returned il 70 the regi-
nent tor statement Of the mans character as a
soldier. Alas for his bright dreams Of bliss, the
contemplated bridal tour OF thirty days to
Niagara Falls here received sudden qaietus.
Private John Kick, for some reason, was con-
signed to the tender mercies ofthe Provost Guard,
aud is now under arrest.
Report SAYS some naughty things of him but,
lest should give publicity TO unfair charges,
refrain from stating them. Report also has il that
Mrs Kick was at City Point at last accounts,
awaiting the return Of her liege lord hope the
events OF chapter three may be more agreeable 10
