FABRAoUr, the Admiral who ran past the forts at
the mouth OF Mobile Bay, s We believe, the same who
forced his way up to New Orleans He is Tennes-
seean and would appear TO be bold, able and enter
prsing sailor Or somebody calls him. sea soldier
He is the most dangerous man, in his line, that the
Yankees have. This we must admit, and we may as
well do so freely. AS naval people the Yankees
are skillful-enterprising and successful. Their
navy officers are well.educated and masters OF
their profession-so ours, but of course the
enemy has all the advantage in the world in the
way Of vessels. That we cannot help now. We
would have better vessels if could perhaps might
have been able to have secured better vessels
to have competed with the North if we had taken the
matter in time. This think is questionable at any
rate the chance is over far this is concerned
and there is no in crying what cannot now be
mended. Admiral FARRAGUT, although inside of tie
bar is not yet up ct Mobile do think he can get
up there without the assistance OF larger army than
LINCOLN send for that purpose at present. This
Mobile affair is the only black spot this year, and that
is not SO black after all.
