M. a — ee OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE IMPORTANT CAP- TURES ON THE YAZOu RIVER, Admiral Porter, in a report to the Secretary of the Navy, received this morning, and bearing date July 2, after giving a detailed account of the blowing up of the DeKalb, says: “We are somewhat compensated for the loss of the DeKalb by the handsome results of this expedition. Five of the largest and best boats thatever run on this river were destroyed by the retels, to prevent their falling into our hands, They were burnt entirely up, and one smalier one was captured. The rebels sus- tained a great loss in these boats Any one of them could have been converted into a power- tui ram gr gunboat, and the loss of them breaks if up their chance of transporting troops. “ Besides the destruction aboye mentioned the combined forces captured five heavy gunsanda lighter one, and all the ammunition and stores river of rebel troops. “*As the people of Yazoo City did not take the trouble to warn us of the existence of torpe- does after the enemy fled, which they had an opportunity of deing, 3,00 bales of cotton were seized by Gen. Herron to pay for the gunboat that was lost through their treachery. The joss to the enemy in this expedition has been all the guns lett on the Yazoo river, 830,000 worth of steamers, $550,000 worth of cotton, and as rath, PARE in other stores necessary for the maintenance of an army.” NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Facts that have come to our knowledge assure us that not only is the draft to be fully enforced in New York city, but it is to be en- tered on at once—probably on Monday. The Copperhead sheets that have fancied that their treasonable utterances have intimidated the Government from enforcing the enrollment law in that quarter will find they have reck- oned without their host.

The boy fell, and was supposed to be dead. He was taken toa drugstore near by and at- tended to, and was sutsequently taken home. At four o’clock this morning he had not spoken. Officer Garrett was near at the time of the oc- currence, and pursned Hardin and arrested him, and carried him to the Second Ward sta- tion-house, and this morning he was sent to jail for further hearing, when the bof shali be able to testify. - sae A Sorprer’s DisorDERLY WIFE.—In camp, on East Capitol street, near 6th, where many of the wives of the regulars are quartered, one of them has become lately very disorderly, and has had to be_remonstrated with, but to no purpose.

The officer very properly dealt the fellow a blow gu the jaw that laid him out, and some gentlemen hearing the row went to the officer’s aid, and assisted in locking White up as a prisoner.
