Correspondence of the Mobile R~egister.l
PENSACOLA, Jan. Is, 1927 have nothing
of a military character worth noting to-day
Everything is quiet as a May morn. Quite
different state Of affairs, Judging from the edi
torials of the Ad0erttScr and Register, and the
advertisements of military chiefs, exists in Mo-
bile. The excitement is contagious even at this
distance, and l must confess to some anxiety at
the near approach of the Yankees to your city.
If the approach to the city is to be by land
only, 1 know they are welcome but of that
armada of which we have laughed and treated
so lightly, fears may now be truly entertained.
That it is formidable both in guns and ships
there is no doubt, and if some half a dozen of
its small boats should escape the fire of Fort
Morgan, Mobile would indeed be in a critical
situation.
Several companies Of the First Alabama Tegi-
ment 90 out of service tomorrow; most Of the
men have re-enlisted for the war, but are allow
ed a thirty days furlough 70 visit home and
attend to business matters before Tesuming the
sword or musket. They are veterans Of twelve
months, and their regimental banner bears
honored inscriptions.
The Ninth Mississippi, also a twelvemonth
corps, has been recognized for the war, under
the chivalric Chalmers. This regiment, too, is
mostly on Through, and is to concentrate at
Corinth, Miss, probably for immediate active
duty, in a different portion Of the ContedeTacy.
A number of the regiment leave tonight for that
point, l understand, via Mobile.
There are several vessels outside this even
ing, one Of them a large steam figate. For
days past there was but one small gun
boat in sight.

lowing
The siege Of MatamOras stil goes cowardly on.
Tins IS the thirty-third day OF the siege, and up
to the present moment scarcely a foot has been
lost or gained since the first day. Much valua-
bic property has been destroyed, and a few killed
and wounded large quantities Of powder burnt
and lead wasted and no prospect Of a change
so tar as either Of those parties nave the power to
effect IS. But we have hope from another quar-
ter News Of a definite, and said to be Of a reli-
able character, reached here last evening, TO the
effect that FidaWTi, with 1000 men, was on the
march Tor Matam0ras, sent by the federal gov
ernment, with whom he has made peace, and in
stEueed TO put down all sectional aud party
striies, and thereby unite the whole nation
against the common enemy-Splin. He is in
vested with the ful command Of the military de-
paTtmeut of the North, and his headquarters are
to be at Matamoras. / give you the news for
what 10 is worth, tao8gh I must state that it is
fully believed by The most intelligent citizens in
this quarter, on both sides Of the creek.
We teel q httle anxious to see a few more
troops down here from the interior, In view of SO
large q Mexican force being near us. Can't you
quietly uTge the necessity of q few more infantry
soldiers coming down They are needful. or
viii be, l fear. We don't want any more artiL
lery or cavalry there are enough of those here
now how many, suppose it would be improper
to state; but tell the infantry to come along, and
as fast as they cam.

deaU. A body of them are at Williams mill
near Saxton, grinding wheat. The remainder OF
them are scattered about in various parts of thai
county. Boats coming down the river should
exercise great care.
Jeffs force has been materially reduced of
late, new numbering not over 500 men.
After the return of the expedition from Birds
Point, last night, a second force, consisting of
attachments from the 10Th Iowa, 22d and 9TH
Illinois, under command of Col. PurseI, of the
first named regiment, left for Charleston, No.
They got away from Birds Point about eleven
o'clock, p. NJ. About daylight this morning
their advance was fred upon by the rebel cav
airy which they were seeking, lying in ambush
IN a cornteld. As soon as they had fired, they
jumped on their horses and fed.
Five OF our men were killed by their FIRE, and
several others wounded, the loss falling mostly
on the 10th Iowa. The names of the killed are
not obtainable this evening.
Twenty-Five thousand troops are on their way
here from ST. Louis and other points. As soon
as these endorsements arrive, a column of from
sixty to seyenty-fve thousand troops will move
from here and Paducah, under command of Gen.
Grant. This will be but the advance column.
Another viii follow shortly after.
The destination of the forces is said TO be
Nashville, Tennessee whence, if a junction can
be formed with Buel's command, the entire
army viii proceed to New Orleans. A move
ment will undoubtedly be made within the next
six days.
The Birds Point expedition brought back as a
prisoner a man residing on the other side of
Charleston, who, on approach of our forces,
stated that no troops had been in his vicinity for
several days. The ambush was but one hun
bred and fifty yards beyond his door.

MONETARY LEGISLATION CEN-
z

The attempt of the Louisiana Legislature Il
tinker upon the currency question, meets with
but little favor, as the effort deserves, from the
New Orleans press. The Crescent sees "a sea
of troubles ahead" should the various none
tary projects succeed, and urges that while the
citizens are strongly opposed to the loan or re-
lief bills, " the Legislators appear intent on legis-
lating the planting, industrial, mechanical and
commercial communities into debt and that
"instead of aiding and relieving them" the III
innate result will be an irretrievsble insolvency.
Suggestions are made to the planters, by the
Crescent, which should be reflected upon before
the basiy action of several Of the State Legis-
latures is approved by the people, andthe whole
sale credit system proposed IS i~nauguated That
paper says:
The impression is strong that FIVE or six mil
lions Of dollars can be readily granted by our
banks, provided the amnesty bill is passed. II
is not believed, however, that this amount viii
be required. We hear a great deal about plan
tatiOn supplies but what are the nature of these
supplies Our cotton planters can raise wheat,
corn, oats, hogs and other stock. They can
raise sheep and have an abundance Of wool they
can, Of course, make all their clothing ana raise
all their provisions. If they do not plant any
cotton, they viii not want any bagging and
rope. To pay their taxes they can send their
surplus cereals and surplus stock to this city Of
New Orleans, where they wiz receive good
prices. If they happen to be indebted to the
banks, they will grant them indulgence till the
war is over.
Our banks have more than double the amount
to absorb all their circulation, and there viii al
ways be a demand for their issues, which viii at
all times be in sufficient demand to maintain a
current value equivalent to coin. There will DO
fluctuations st times in what is termed currency.
The issues and notes Of our banks VIII perform
ali the functions Of money and currency, even
if they are not payable within one, two or three
years in gold and silver, or rather coin. How is
the contemplated notes by the State to be made
convertible into Gu rency or money Casting
all other considerations, Jet il net be con
6rmed by legislative action that the great State
Of Louisiana is so hopelessly involved, 50 far
gone into the slough of indebtedness as to re-
qure the emission of ten millions of paper
money from the State. Justice does not require
i, honor and soiveucy deny it.

rnr rELECRArm RErnRm.

Several Of our most influential exchanges
have already Endorsed the proposed plan of hold
ing a convention for the purpose of instituting a
new telegraphic system in the South. The Nash
vile Banner of the 10Th says on this subject:
We have noticed, in quite number Of our ex-
changes, a call for a convention of the Tepresen-
tatives Of the press, South, for the purpose of
efIecting an organization, under whose direction
the present deplorable system of telegTaphing
may be Temedied and made to answer the de-
mand Of the times. We heartily indorse the
idea and viii offer our presence and aid in ae-
complishing the object designated. Atlanta,
Georgia, has been recommended as a suitable
point for holding said convention, and about the
middle Of March suggested as the time. We
feel that much good may arise from such a con-
vention. What say our contemporaries to the
18th Of March at Atlanta .

woxvwpvrs az THE ENEME's RIV-
M RIORELLA.

The arrival of the down train early yesterday
morning from Humboldt, brought many vague
.n5 rndefned rumors of the enemy's move
ments M the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers.
During the day exciting reports were current in
the city Of almost every character, having no
better source, from what we could learn, than
the idle brains of the sensaton-mongers.
The latest intelligence which we have from
above is derived from a messenger Of the Ex-
press company, who arrived in the city late last
night on a special train from Paris, having left
the latter place yesterday morning about nine
O'Clock. There was but little doubt Of the fact
that the Federal foiTa, consisting of a number
of gunboats and transports, had landed troops
OF both sides of the Tennessee river, below Fort
Henry, which is some twenty miles below the
railroad bridge over that stream. The force was
not known, but was v~sTiously estimated at from
ten to twenty thousand.
The Confederate pickets had been driven in,
and several hundred negroes who had been
working on the Notifications at that point sent
up to Danville, and every preparation made for
an expected attack. Cannonading was after
wards heard in the distance, but the result Of
it was not known
It is further stated that a portion Of the Fed
eral feet had gone up the Cumberland river, and
disembarked a considerable force below Fort
Donelson, who had commenced terrifying them
selves near the river bank.
Our entire available force at these two points
is not over two or three thousand men but
they can be reinforced very speedily from
either Columbus or Bowling Green. The object
Of the enemy is evidently to reach the line OF
The Memphis and GAINESVILLE railroad, SO as to
destroy the valuable bridges over the Ten
nessee and Cumberland rivers. Further than
this, we apprehend they can do little or no Sc
rious damage.
We learn that General TmGHMAN. who com
mands our Qualifications, expresses a confidence
in his ability to hold them both, without fear OF
capture. We trust bis confidence may not be
misplaced to such an extent as to regale US du-
ring the present week with another Hatteras af

An IrrrpressihIs nenn,..r-

A letter from Washington to the Cleveland
PlaiHdealer gives the following incident to illus
trate the desperate determination of reporters
to obtain full particulars of every important
event:
Col. Bakers funeral ceremonies took place at
Mr.. Webb's. The friends, the honorables and
the military filed the house, and reporters were
shut out. Now came the tug of war. One re-
porter's efforts alone / will give as a sample.
selecting the victor in the case. Having failed
in all the other efforts to get in, he brassed it up
to Gen Mcclellan, and asked a pass. This was
ridiculous, Of course, as It was neither MeCleL
lan's house ner funeral, and reporter was
snubbed. Of he goes to Gen. Marcy, chief Of
McClelian's staff, and was as civily treated as
he deserved. Round the house he goes, and.
finding the omnipnesent contraband, gives him a
dollar to shoot him down the seuttle hole, when
round through larder and lobby he ereeps to the
side Of the parson. But he dare not use his pen
ell lest 1t bring on a gentle leading out by the
ear. Down he sits with one eye half closed to
funeral flow, and the other on the parsons man

venerable Sunderland to close with prayer, down

hearts were melting, and all eyes were closed

and " Slid cannie ont" Long the weary parson
looked for his truant address, but when morn
ing dawned he was enabled to read it entire IN
the papers.

ship Isgaud.

Rumors have been ahoat a day or two in the
city that Picayune Butler had evacuated Ship
Island with the buIk Of his forces, leaving only
a garrison in that choice and lovely spot of
white sand. He did not follow up his demand
for the surrender of Biloxi, with the actual
6 POsessiO pods We suspect he was thinking
Of " masked batteries u that might have been
erected between the demand and the taking.
Certain it is, he didn't come back. He had
achieved material for newspaper fame at the
North, and We shall soon hear OF the brilliant
capture of a cotton port and the admirable cool
ness and daring Of the Massachusetts soldiery.
As to Pies destination and the reason of his de-
parture we are left to doubt and speculation.
Some say that water was very scare at Ship Is
land, and sickness very abundant, and that he
has gone to find pleasanter winter quarters.
We are sorry he has gone, for there isn't a man
of ~Pieayune's kidney whom we should prefer to
see en- route to Mobile, sword in hand, than him

TEXAS ENTELLrGENcE.

The New Orleans Pieayuns has late Texas pa

up:
The Austin Lnteligeneer rejoices IN a daily
mail between that point and New Orleans.
The Houston Telegraph is responsible for the
following:
Among the natural productions Of which Texas
can boast are children and the most prolific
counties, We take from the report of the school
commissioners for the last year. They are Cher
okee, 2195; Harris, 2175i Smith, 2157 Grayson,
2O09, and Collin, 2003.
The Galveston Mars, of the 9th, says
We were pleased to receive a call, a day or two
since, from DR.. w. p. RiddeIl, formerly connect

recently from New Orleans.
The Doctor has been placed in charge Of the
hospital IN this city. in place of DR.. Cakes, who
has been transferred to Col. Ford's regiment.
The Nel1s also says that the contractor ex-
poets to have the Geographic line between New
Orleans and Houston completed by the LIST OF
February.
The Houston Telegraph thus comments upon
the news from the Rio Grande:
Gun Brownsville correspondent gives an i'm
portant piece of information regarding the move
ments across the Rio Grande. The sham FIGHT
at MatamOrasl Is, OF course, unworthy of further
attention, but the approach Of Vidaurri. with 1000
men, to make his headquarters at Matamoras, as
a representative Of the Mexican Federal povsrn-
ment, the government that has been making the
late treaties with Tom Corwin, that receives a
loan of ten millions and protection from the
United States, for some purpose or Other-we say
this military movement demands attention. and
measures should at once be taken to keep the
closest watch on the dOings of that republic. A
force OF 1000 MeXicaHs, Joined to as many north.
ern troops, might give Us some trouble. espe-
cialy IL supported by raids upon our coast.
The Legislature has fixed upon the 2Ist inst
as the day to adjourn.
The State GazeAe says:
A bill granting relief to the East Texas rail
road, has passed both houses. 1t allows them to
draw the 5000 per mile loan on the completion
Of hve miles, and gives them $500 in land scrip
at % cents per acre, IN addition to the sixteen
sections per mile allowed by the greneral law.

We are requested to say that if any persons in
