Monday, June 24.—This morning dispatched an officer on board the Ivy to bring away the oil and lamps from the South Pass, that that light may also be extinguished. The object was accomplished. All the seacoast lights at the passes are now out. Both blockading vessels are lying close at their anchors, and there is an additional vessel at Pass à l’Outre.
