Pensacola to be Stormed.

--Gen. Bragg is destined to receive a storming party who will carry his camp. The gardeners of this vicinity, learning that the troops were in want of vegetables, have come forward handsomely and opened the very heaviest kind of a fire.--Beans, peas, cabbage, potatoes and every other missile in that line have been erected into powerful batteries and a fire opened that will send something good into every man's mouth. The St. Nicholas goes up this morning with a large cargo of these implements of war, which will be conveyed by rail to Pensacola, when a successful attack will be made in the rear. So confident are our gardeners of success, that they confidently expect to win the victory without the loss of a man, and in their campaign they declare ‘"nobody will be hurt."’ We feel proud of our gardeners for the patriotic manner in which they have come forward and remembered the soldier in camp and contributed to his comfort. They give cheerfully, and would scorn to receive pay — like our gallant soldiers, who fight for their homes and firesides, not for pay or pension,--Mobile Register, 22d.
