The glorious news from Mobile caused every patriotic heart to thrill with joy. Admiral Farragut's praises are in all mouths. His achievements thus lar seem almost incredible.

By extracts from rebel papers it will be seen that the rebels are anticipating another exchange of the prisoners at Charleston. We also learn that Gen. Jones is anxious to exchange all the Federal prisoners in his hands, and has been empowered by his government to make the exchange. There are 39,000 Federal prisoners at Andersonville, where they ? i!?:.u? < lie llwl i H*M I I I aitu, aiiU die U^V Ul^ Alt the rate of fort v a day. While "it may not s* em politic to return that number of ahle-liodicd rebels to the enemy, humanity seems to demand that our suffering officers and men in rebel hands should be relieved if possible, and we hope that Gen. Foster may be empowered by the Government to make the exchange, certain that we shall not lose by a good action, even if the enemy's strength is increased thereby. There are also (1(H) prisoners at Savannah, whom the rebel authorities seem anxious to exchange. . We nr<".timp tb?t fipn Fnstcr 1ms re presented the case at Washington, and that we shall soon know the result. DEFENCES OF HILTON HEAD AND BEAl'FOUT TO BE STRENGTHENED. An attack on Hilton Head or Beaufort would be Welcome at any time, by the troops, who are ready for any force the rebels can bring. But to render the defence of these p.xsts practicable by a small number of troops, it is probable that instead of occupying the forces now here in expeditions, Gen. Foster will occupy them in strengthening the defences of these two islands. The works near the upper sally-port have already been extended, and a large citadel const meted in the center. Ant 'tbw-witt probably be built near Mitchelvillc, and one at Beaufort. These improvements will render it easy for a small number of men to hold the posts, so that portions of the forces can be engaged on other duty.
