Interference with Telegraph lines.
--The Lincoln administration have obtained possession of the telegraph office at Louisville and at other points in Kentucky.
We also learn from a reliable source that the Hessians recently obtained possession of the cable connecting Mobile and New Orleans, and after destroying a portion, sunk the balance in the bay.

Our telegraphic reporter states that the line from Mobile to New Orleans was in working order last night, but it is uncertain how long it will continue with Lincoln's blockading fleets in that region.
