. THE NEWS.

Our dispatches from Wcksbur~ announce
The alarming intelligence TINT the rebel ram
Webb, which is regarded rs L formidable
monster, came out of the Red river into the
Mississippi, went by our fleet stationed
1hercl like shot, and pursued her course with
s-.ent speed towards New Orleans. with the
prospect OF reaching there In few hours,
and playing her prnnks ad li6itun, at that
city, in the gull, Or any point to which she
may choose to turn her formidable nose. The
in1res ssion Of the correspondent Of the
IIcksburg Herald is that JEFF. Davis with his
$1,000 600 to SIC, COX, 900 Of gold is aboard the
Webb, and intends to proceed to Havana.
Tho eMcers Of one place the speed Of the
Wtbb at twenty-five miles an hour, which
cSccode my Steamers speed on record. We
rathcr thirk they have got it too high. We
cannot escape the opinion, that our feet, sta.
7iontd at the mouth Of the Red River to
watch this rebel monster, have failed in their
strict attention to duty. 1t looks very
mrch Like a surprise Of that Kind
which many time and Oft
we have been Obliged to record. Let Us
hope that tho Webb may touch bottom before
s:.c can touch New Orleans or the GULF

OUR POETS AND POETRY.

under severe attack Of Poetry. It broke
out simultaneously with the capture Of Rich

der Of Lee, and has ever since completely
overwhelmed one Of our most athletic edit

Poetry swasms up like the frogs Of Egypt,
orcrruns our tables, floors and exchange bas-
ket. It salutes US in erery letter. drops from
every visitor, cfawls into our drawers, and
bites at our files. 1t appeals to our hardened
conscience, pleads with our lukewarm patrt-

conscious genius Its merits, and demands
