The War News. The news yesterday which was chiefly discussed was the remarkable surrender to the enemy of Fort Gaines, at the entrance of Mobile bay. The particulars of the affair are given in the telegraph column; and we need only give the position as it now stands; At the outlet of Mobile bay into the Gulf there are two channels running either side of Dauphin island — that on the right passing very close to Fort Gaines, and that on the left passing not so close to Fort Morgan.

This powerful work was provisioned for six months and had a garrison of six ation. He left peremptory orders for Anderson, on his return, not to surrender the fort, and relieved him of his command. Fort Morgan signaled this morning, but no answer was received except the hoisting of the Yankee flag over the ramparts of Fort Gaines. Anderson's conduct is officially pronounced inexplicable and shameful.
