Lieut. Dixon.

--The Mobile Register learns that Lieut. Dixon, who blew up the Housatonic, on the night of the 13th February, was either lost or captured by the enemy on his return. A dispatch was received in Mobile on the morning of March 1st, stating that he was last seen heading in the direction of Fort Sumter, between which and himself were two lines of the enemy's picket boats. It was expected that his fate would be ascertained by the next flag of truce.
