FROM PENSACOLA.

PENSACOLA, Sept. 3n--We have quite a feet
collecting here, and are anxiously awaiting
the arrival OF iron claIis, slittle Monitors" and
all sorts OF "rams.' and when all is ready, we
going TO take Fort Morgan'and Mobile. il is
said. 10 attempt these captures with wooden
ships. it seems to me, would prove disastrous
even though the affair were MANAGED NV All
miral Farragut.
Fort Morgan, the main defense of Mobile. is
Judiciously situated ON the right bank Of the
channel, and mounts about one hundred guns
The main channel near the fort is seventeen
fathcms deep, and will admit Of the passage of
the largest vessels.
PLAN OF ATTACK RECOMMENDED
II the plan of taking Mobile be the same as
that CARRIED ont so successfully at New Orleans
by Admiral Farragut in running by the forts,
cutting eff supplies, and forcing them to sur.
render, we have little doubt that we shall have
as much success at Mobile As we could possibly
desire.
Fort aines, the second work of defence for
Mobile, is situated on D;lnphins Island, mounts
h1y guns, and can direct an excellent and for.
midable cross-fire with Fort Morgan
nave had considerable experience i'm naval
warfare since the breaking out of the rebellion
ana must give il out as my opinion that with
ont an lron-clad protecting vessel il will be
impossible 10 take Mobile, Savannah or Charles
ton, without great loss of life and valuable YES
selS.
REcoNNOIssANcE TO FORT GAINEs
Fort Gaines, near Mobile, has been for some
ume ,l past: from reports that have reached
here, evacuated by the enemy To ascertain
me fact, the steam frigate Susquehanna,
Commodore Hitchcock, yentured towards
me Tort, and received a number Of leaden
messengers. 1t was unnecessary, of course, 10
investigate the matter any further. The com.
manGer of the gunboat Winona, in order 10
KNOW n certainty the truth Of the rumors, ven.
tired IN, and received a similar reception TO
that rendered TO the Susquehanna. This was
enough 10 convince any one that the garrison
sun existed. IL is said that the garrison ut

Meet that they Were ready for a. any time
wooden walls stood well on the Mississippi
and could do SO perhaps, at Mobile, but, As we
nave vessels better suited Tor such service, We
ought 10 use them.
The army may cooperate with the navy,
and by so doing might strengthen the form Of
attack Vessels of-war are pouring into Pen.
