Southern Transports stopped by Federal war vessels.
--A telegraphic dispatch from Mobile, dated May 8th, says:
The transports Dick Keyes and Henry Lewis left here yesterday, laden with provisions for Pensacola.
They arrived off Pensacola bar about 5 P. M., where they were stopped and boarded by the Powhatan — their papers and cargo examined.
Com. Porter then granted them permission to proceed to Pensacola, remarking he thought Bragg wished the use of the boats for the purpose of conveying troops to Santa Rosa Island, and that they would be badly whipped after Bragg got them there.
While the Keyes and Lewis were rounding to and getting under way the Brooklyn came up and orderd them to follow her to the Sabine?
Through some misunderstanding the Keyes had got under way for the bar. The Powhatan and Brooklyn both fired across her bow, when she again rounded to. A boat's crew of armed men were put aboard her.
The two transports were compelled to jay under the guns
A Big gun for the "Virginia."
--The Norfolk Fay Book, of yesterday, makes the following announcement:
We are gratified to learn that the large gun, recently cast in Richmond for the Virginia, has been placed in its position on board of that vessel.
It throws a solid shot, we understand, weighing 860 pounds. The shot is long, and has a steel point This, together with her two Armstrong guns, put on board since her return from Newport Nows, gives her one of the most formidable batteries in the world, in addition to her being perfectly shot and shell proof.
We would like to give our readers a description of this new gun and shot, but fear we have already stated more than is prudent, lest it should get to the ears of those the information is not intended for.
The iron employed in covering the Virginia was rolled at the "Tredegar Iron Works" at Richmond, according to drawings furnished by Constructor John L. Porter.
