Nothing of late date has been received ilom
the vicinity Of Mobile, where, at last accounts,
Com Porter was preparing TO open the aSsau'i
upon Fort Morgan Fort Gaines having beeu
evacuated Dy the enemy on the approach Of the
mortar fleet We DO no: thiak the attack will
be made Immediately, as Com Porter will prob
ably await reinfoscements from Far1agut's feet
in the Nj sissippi river.

Skipping over the country to another field, we

will probably escape, but he will hardly venture
on another aggressive movement We hope .
hear in due time OF the capture and occupation
of the Virginia Ceatral railroad at S'aantOn.
From Indicate we have seen We think it
not improbable that Gen. Mitchel's command
will soon be heard fiOm in the direction OF Chat
tsnooga, breaking links Of railroad cOmmunica
ton between she scattered forces of B;auregard
and the army OF Joe Johnston in Virginia. Some
activity is also being manifested by Gen. Nor
gan at Cumberland Ford kentucky, sdding to
his military force, fitting up transportation, etc ,
preparatory, no doubt, to an advance through
Cumberland Gap on the East Tennessee and
Virginia railroad, the destruction of which will
still further interfere wi rebel CO nmuncstion
east and west.
We had almost omitted to refer 10 eoDjeetured
movements south Of Richmond. We take it
that Gen. Burnside is making an effort to get
al least part Of his army into Virginia 10 coop
crate with Mcclellan. Just betJre the last de-
cisive advance is made upon the rebel capital
we shall probably hear of the capture Of Peters
burg and the possession by our forces Of the
AppomatoI river, which operations will be
greatly beneficial in cutting off the backward
march Of the enemy after he shall have been
driven out Of his seat Of government.
Events Of gigantic magnitude are indeed
transpirng over the country every day. The
eliminating point Of the war has been attained
aud we look forward with steady and undiuin
ished hope 10, IN early peace and the complete
restoration Ct the t Mon.
