The Tennessee lay in the rear of our fleet after the forts had been passed on the morning of the 5th of August; and of fourteen vessels, at Admiral Farragut's disposal for the attack, all were perfectly sound and uninjured except the Tecumseh, which had been sunk by a torpedo, when the order was given shortly after 8 o'clock to bout ship and give battle to the ram. A signal was given to all the ennessee; but as she makes two inches more water an hour than she did prior to the fight, it is presumed that some of her invisible joints must have been partially deranged with her repeated concussions with the assaulting fleet. The Tennessee has lately been used by Admiral Farragut, to good purpose, in the assault on Fort Morgan that preceded its surrender; and we expect that she will yet do us much good service, and take rank among the most powerful iron-clads in the navy of the Union.
