large part Of Gen. Banks's forces are Withdrawing
from the west side Of the Mississippi with the undo.
standing that this time Mobile is to be attacked. The
small number Of Rebels at this city will not be able to
save 1t from capture Should Bragg attempt tore
enforce the place, Grant Will press forward. This
move OF Gen BANKS nsuIes the permanent possession
Of East Tennessee.
