The Dahlgren.

--The inventor, Com. Dahlgren, commands the Navy-Yard at Washington, and is making strong efforts to fit out a great naval expedition, which, it is very likely, will first impinge on Ship Island and the adjacent Mississippi coast. The State of Mississippi has a respectable force-under the command of Brig. Gen. Dahlgren, the brother of the Commodore. The latter is manufacturing guns for Lincoln, while the General has furnished the drawing for which the Dahlgren is now cast in New Orleans, Greths, Natchez. Memphis, and elsewhere. Brother against brother; but the Mississippi brother does not seek out the brother in Washington to destroy him; it is the Northern brother who pursues with deadly aim the Southern brother.
