NEW YORK, AUGUST 10.

The Southern papers announce the appointment
of the Hon. George A. Trenholm as Secretary of
the Treasury, in the place of the Hon. C. G. Mem-
minger, resigned. Mr. Trenholm is a native of
Charleston, about 55 years of age, and the senior
partner of the firm of John Fraser and Co., of
Charleston, which, with its Liverpool branch,
Fraser, Trenholm, and Co., has been extensively
engaged in blockade running enterprises since the
beginning of the war.
A gentleman, long a resident of Mobile, and
familiarly acquainted with the topography of that
port, gives the following particulars of the locality
of the late naval victory gained by Admiral Far-
ragut :
Forts Morgan and Gaines are situated about 33 mike
from the city of Mobile, and command, from opposite aides,
the ectrance to the bay of thalami, name. This entrance is
about 21 miles wide Fort Powell commands another ay
trance, or rather narrow artificial pass, called Grant's Pas,
Into the same bey from the Miasissippi Sound. The trim
harbour of Mobile, locally called the anchorage, is a few
males above these forte under the leo of Dauphin Island sad
about 23 miles from Mobile. Only vessels of small draught
can come to the wharves of the city, which • approached
by a narrow sad tortuous channel, averaging nine feet of
water, never exceeding eleven. The most difficult portion
of the channel is at a point called Choctaw Pass, about five
miles distant from the city.
It is not believed that the city is in any danger of
capture from a naval attack. A successful land attack
would require at least 15,000 men, and the approaches is
that ease would not be from Dauphin Island, but from
Paaeagoula. The object of Admiral Aerators operations
is therefore probably hest to destroy the Oonfedeiste fleet
in the bay, and secondly to more effectually close a port
which, from its largecotton exportations, bad recently be-
come of considerable importance to blockade runners.
These objects attained, the e.tnation will not be very dis-
'limner from that at Charleston , except that the dishiness
bet's= the outer and inner lines of harbour defences are
greater.
