Mr. J. R. Ellis, messenger of the-Express Com pskdy, reports that, from all that could be gathered -from rumor' at Meredian, th destination of the Yankees is undoubtedly Mobile. He saw a Feder al cap, that had been raptured after "the Yankee crossed Pearl river, with a red ribbon .around it, on which the words "Mobile or Hell" were printed in large letters. . - The" Register says: The enemy seems to hare been found at last, and has turned up north of the Southern road, near Pecatur. This place is about thirty mile from Meredian. Report says the yankees are taking it quite leisurely, not having the fear of Gen. Polk before their eyes, we suppose. We trust they will be taught a better appreciation of Generals Forrest and Lee before they get through. The Register adds; There lias been no fighting of moment as vet, Theyaukees appearing desirous of avoiding a fight but Lee and Forrest were busy in the rear.
