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. With only six iron<
lads and a small wooden tleet, lie has
taken formidable forts which lie was ol>
liged to operate against at great disadvantage,
and captured, sunk or beached
the whole rebel lleet. one vessel alone
escaping with considerable damage.
The formidable Tennessee, the boast of
the rebels, the Mobile bugbear, was
among those overcome. So much having
been so unexpectedly accomplished, we
may now look for news of tlie speedy
capture of the city. If it is not taken
the operations will weaken Gen. llood's

When the appointed time arrived Mr. Miller

A CASE OF RESTITUTION FOR INJURY

By 110 positive supposition ran you ' j

the restitution, nor can you ever know '
' the circumstances of t!w case. 1 j
The knowledge of the fact was obtain- j ]
ed through the Catholic confessional, the ! .

done. : <

Old PRISONERS IV REBEL HAXDS.
The Enemy Anxious to Exchange.
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

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.

Monroe on Monday, hut brought
