ave been received. They say that the Yankee monitor, Tecumseh, struck a torpedo opposite Fort Morgan and want down immediately. All on board perished (including the captain) except nine persons. After passing the fort, the Tennessee came up through the wooden vessels of the fleet, delivering broadsides, and looking for the Hartford, the flagship of Admiral Farragut. The Monongahela bore down and struck the Tennessee amidships. The Tennessee and Hartford then got side by side, the former pouring a full broadside into the Hartford's port-holes, causing, as the True Delta says, a fearful less of life on the latter. The Lackswans and others came up and took part in the action until the Tennessee surrendered. The papers report that Admiral Buchanan's leg will be saved. He told them he would have been willing to die ten minutes afterwards could he have sunk the Hartford. Lieutenant Comstock, Confederate, and Lieutenant Prentiss, Yankee, are both reported dead.
