From New Of lemta.
Tho Mobile Tribunt, ofthe 3d inst copies
the following from the New Orleans Bra.' It
is introduced to its readers by a heavy column
of the biggest capital letters:
We learn that official information (of the
26th nit.) had been received from Admiral
Porter, to tho effect that he has captured the
j rebel Navy Yard at Yazoo City, and destroyed
in it four rebel iron-clad vessels. One of the
vessels is said to have beSn a monster.
An immense amount of public stores, sufficient
to supply a largo navy, was destoyey at
the same time.
Admiral Porter has also captured a formidable
battery, (name not recollected,) mounting
fifteen guns. He took with this battery,
or fort, 5,000 rounds of ammunition.
The capture of this fort is of great importance,
as it prevented communication between
tho fleets above and below . Vicksburg.
. The Admiral's fleets are now within three
miles of each other?one above and one below
the city?and they have silenced the enemy's
works bearing in range of his guns at
each extremity of the city.
Gen. Grant is close in the rear, and engaged
in mining t.lio wrvrlr*
--- ? e ?~
, Admiral Porter thinks the rebel defences
cannot stand a week longer.
Reinforcements were coming in rapidly.
Another Account.?Since the above was
in type, we have received the following con- ,
firmatory despatch. It is fuller in detail and
altogether satisfactory and gratifying:
"The heavy works of the enemy at War- ,
ronton and that town liavo been destroyed.
Syodor's Bluff has been captured, with 15
heavy guns and 8,000 projectiles. The ironclads
and gun-boatf of Porter's fleet are within
three miles of each other above and below
Vicksburg, with constant communication and
supplies of all kinds for the lower fleet received
below. ' i
" Yazoo City and Navy Yard were destroyed
including three iron-clad.)?one a monster.
Property destroyed worth two millions. Cap
. tured a large amount of stores. ^
"Navy attacked the Vicksburg batteries on ^
the 22d, and after a hard fight silenced all the
hill batteries and those on the upper Muff for
two hours.

^ "Grant's and Pemberton's forces are ronzzle
v \ to muzzle, and Vicksburg muet fall in* a few
davs." '

half. The latter were strongly fortified.

A California Story.
In the Northern part of this State (California)
is a stream called Yuba River.' Across it
some enterprising individual built a bridge*
and on the banks somebody else built three or
four houses. The inhabitants called, the place
Yuba Dam. Three bare were insta ntly erected
and the "town" increased rapidly. About
noon ono cool day, a. sojourner in the land
passed this flourishing locality, and seeing a
long-legged specimen of hnmanity in a red shirt*
smoking before one of the bars, thtis addressed
him: .
"HoRo!" *
"Hellol" replied the shirt with vigor, removing
his pipo from his moutli.
"What place is this?" demanded the tra- J
veler, whose name was Thompson.
The answer of the shirt was unexpected.
"Yuba Dam!"
There was about fifty yards between thcui,
and tbe wind was blowing. Mr. Thompson
thought he had been mistaken.
"What did you say?" ho asked.
"Yuba Dam," replied tho shirt cheerfully.
"What place is this?" roared Thompson.
'' Yuba Dam!" said the shirt in. a slightly,
elevated tono of voice.
^Lookee here!" veiled the irato Thompson,
"I asked you politely what this place was, why
in thunder don't you answer?"
The stranger became excited. lie rose and
replied with the voice of an eighty-pounder:
"Yuu-ba Dam! Do you hoar that?"
In a minute Thompson, burning, with the
wrath of the righteous, jumped off his horse
and advanced on the stranger with an expression
not to be mistaken. The shirt arose and
assumed a posture ofoffence and defencp.. Arrived
within a yard of him, Thompson said,
MI ask you, for the last time, what place is
this?"
Putting his hand to his month, his opponent
roared:
"Yno.ba Dam!"
The next minute they were at it. Fiist
Thompson was down; then the shirt; then it
was a dog fall?that is, both were down. They |
rolled about and kicked up a tremendous dust. !
They squirmed around so energetically, that
yoli'd thought they had a dozen legs instead of
four. It looked like a prize fight between two
pugilistic centipedes. Finally, they both rolled
on the bank and into the river. The water
cooled them. They went down together, but
came up separately, and put for the shore.!
Both reached it about the same time, and
Thompson scrambled up the bank, mounted
his warlike steed, leaving his foe gouging the
mud out of one of'his eyes.
Having left the business portion of the town
that is, the.corner where the three bars were
kept?he struck a house in the suburbs, before
which a little girl of about three years old was
playing. "What
place is this, sissy?" he asked.
The little girl, frightened at the drowned
rat figure which the stranger cut, streaked it
for the house*. Having reached $he door, she
stopped?turned, and squealed, "Oobbeedam?"
^
44 God heavens!" said Thompson, digging his
heels between his horses ribs?"good heav\nol
