GAGBMENr.
The naval engagement in Mobile bay on the 9Th,
though resulting in the final discontinue of our little
net sttests the herosm of sailors and puts upon
record an instance OF vaor and endurance under the
most unequal circumstances which will rend the en-
gagement az glorious to the Sou'h as it will be memo
rable. We append the official report which was re.
ceived by the Secretary of the Navy yesterday from
the naval tfficer In command Tue details which are
given in this report will efectualy strip the enemy of
