rough it on the Gulf coasts in winter, with no dry camping ground, no good water, and no chances of plunder. The bad water, the bad weather, and the lack of fresh grub, have made the hospital department the most important branch of the "Expedition of the Southwest." The elements, led to the attack by the great Commander of the Universe, are our firm allies, and do the work of shot and shell quiet effectually. Set down the "great expedition of the Southwest" as another Yankee Jasco. McClellan might further carry out his grand strategy of "diversion," and still find that quadruple the force he has yet been able to place in the Gulf would not divert one man from the Army of the Potomac. We have enough and to spare at every point of importance, to hold it against any force. Since my last, a lively business has been done by the "blockade breakers," with mixed success.

e Army of the Potomac. We have enough and to spare at every point of importance, to hold it against any force. Since my last, a lively business has been done by the "blockade breakers," with mixed success. I may not say how many vessels have successionally get out of port, nor may I say what have successfully got in, except such as the enemy know of as well as we. One has been captured about 18 miles from the mouth of the harbor. She left mobile and escaped to Havana as the schooner "Wilder," the property of Confederate owners. She was there sold to a British subject, was re- christened the "Andrewetts," and took out a clearance for Matamoras. Not happening to sail in that direction, how ever, she was one morning discovered lying aground close into the shore of Alabama by the blockaders. They sent boats to take possession; but, when they approached, were fired on by members of a Mobile cavalry company, the "City Troop," lying in ambush on the shore, and were driven off with

Consequently, the prices of the greater and lesser articles of supply have begun steadily to slide down the scale of quotations, and provisions are cheaper.--Bacon has crawled down to twenty cents, and butter thirty cents--the one article better than that cured in Suckerdon, and the other pretty nearly as good as that churned in Orange county.

ver nine hundred tons, builders measurement, her draught, with machinery, armament, stores, coal, and crew on board, will be scant five feet. Yet she is sharp as the sharpest clipper afloat, and will carry an armament which many an old- fashioned sloop-of-war would stagger under. I would like to give a more particular description, but I am fearful that I might be guilty of making our loyal-malls transport information contraband under the threatened act of Congress. I only wish that Mr. Secretary Mallory could see this remarkable vessel, so well built in so brief a time. I think he would order two or three dozen like her at once, and put, Bassett at the head of his whole corps of naval architects, The Morgan is 202 feet extreme length, and 38 feet 8 inches beam. She was launched with her machinery on board. Another gun-boat of about the same size, but of a different model and by a different constructor, will be launched here in a few days.
