On the where, the little fort and its garrison have behaved nobly so far, and with the experience of Wagner and Sabine Pass before the eyes of its brave defenders, they have in their grasp a goitrous and successful defence, that will cover them with honor and confer a lasting benefit on the cause and country. The Mobile Tribune, on the same subject, says: Whenever Fort Powell, which commands Grant's Pass, is captured, Forts Morgan and Gaines can avail nothing. The city is then accessible without danger from these two massive fortifications. Fort Powell is constructed after the man her of Fort Wagner it is bomb proof; the garrison small, and conscious, no doubt, that the fate of Mobile depends upon their endurance and hereinto. If this fort be captured, there is an iron clad ram in Mobile bay which will dispose of any seagoing vessel.

officers' quarters, built of wood, was damaged. At the distance at which the enemy delivered his fire, Fort Powell is deemed impregnable, and it has a garrison that will bold it and give the Yankee some of their Charleston experience. If the fleet comes to closer quarters somebody will "be hurt." And there I no running past in this case, for the fort has to be reduced, and the channel dug out, before the Yankees can enter the bay of Mobile that way. Some have thought they could land on Dauphin Island and establish a battery there against Powell. But the distance is too considerable for an effective battering fire, besides which our own gunboats can command the beach where they would creet a battery. Sand has already played an important part as a material for defensive fortifications. Gen. Beauregard brought out its virtues at Charleston, and Powell is writing a new chapter in honor of it. There has been no firing on the fort since the first day's bombardment. A strong n
