ADVICES FROM ERIE.

VICTORY!--By a well executed movement the Narragansett fleet under

command of Admiral Fisk, have succeeded in cutting off the _Tribune's_

connection with Long Branch. A panic prevails in the _Tribune_ office.

HORACE GREELEY threatens, in retaliation, to lecture on farming along

the route of the Erie Railway, to the ruin of the agricultural interest

of the district. A meeting of prominent farmers has been convened to

protest against this outrage, and a strong body of Erie troops have been

sent to prevent H.G.'s advance. It is proposed, in case of attack, to

illuminate the Erie Palace by means of Colonel FISK'S big diamond,

which, it is estimated, would prove more powerful than a dozen calcium

lights. If this should not be dazzling enough, it is suggested that a

glimpse of the Colonel's $5,000 uniform might have the desired effect.

Amongst the novel instruments of warfare which the contest has given

birth to, is a new ball projected by the Prince of Erie. It will be

given at Long Branch, and will, no doubt, be very effective.
