Heron and his division have gone to
Mobile.
Ord and his corps came into the city
yesterday. Sherman is encamped on
the Big Black. =
There is considerable sickness this hot

The very best of accounts come up
from below. Ransom is still at Natchez.
His brigade, now division, is in the
best health and spirits, and thoroughly
recuperated. 1t will be heard from at
other points from below before long.
The rebels seem to be making a des-
perate and terrible effort to save Mobile.
1t now appears that Mobile is to them a
stronger point than was supposed They
seem to hold on to it with the convui-
Sive grasp of mortal despair. There are
supposed to be some small gunboats up
the Iombigbee river, but the only heavy
iron one in Alabama is in the Alabama
river at Montgomery, Montgomery being
depot and a place very desirable to
hold tor strategic Ions. 1t is doubt

A COMPROMISING SPIRIT-The Louis
vile Journal has denounced in bitter
terms the enrolment of free negroes in
Kentucky for the draft, on the ground
that Kentuckians have a prejudice
against negro soldiers. The Cincinnati
Gazette, in a spirit of compromise, pro-
poses to overcome the difficulty by omit
ting the blacks from The draft This, it
thinks, will cover the whole ground, the
objection being to making soldiers of
them not to counting them. 1t is nee
essary to enroll them in order to find out
the quota of Kentucky, because this is
done in all the States; and there can be
no objection to this that does not equally
apply to the counting of the free blacks
in the apportionment of Representatives

INvALIDs FROM RosEcRAN's Army
The Steamer Liberty arrived here yes
terday with one hundred and forty-four
Invalid Soldiers from the front of Rose
Grams Army on board, en- route to Louis
vile, in charge of Major Porter OF the
Invalid Corps, formerly of the 49th
Ohio.
They are men who are unfit for active
field service, but who can do garrison
duty, and will be used for that purpose,
to relieve troops who are fit for service
in the field. These men have all been
some how or other imbibed a most su-
preme contempt for "ye copperhead,"
and will be highly useful in preserving
the peace when the conscription is be-
ing enforced in this and other States.

WASHINGTON, July 30-Within few
days past more than 1000 cavalrymen,
representing every regiment in the army
of the Potomac, have arrived here for
horses, to take the place of those dam
aged by late excessive service.
Advices from the Army of the Poto-
mac tonight say the llth corps is to be
broken up The lst Division is to go
with General Howard, who takes com
mand of the I'd corps. The Cd division
will be incorporated with the 18th corps,
and the others, under Carl Schurz, have
an independent position to guard the
Orange and Alexandria railroad, from
Manassas to the Rappahannock
There have been no important field
operations for some time past. Our cav
airy have been accommodating the coun-
try between Warrenton and Culpepper.
They have met only small scouting par
ties of the enemy.

The MAN WHO TOOK MoRGAN.-The
greatest horse thief of the 18th century
awards the credit of his capture to one
BURBlcK, militia captain of Columbl-
-c---..s-- -Ohin who was niloting Nor
gan, at the time, through the State.
Morgan made known his terms to Bur-
bick, which were condescendingly ac-
cepted, and paroles promised to the free
hooters. Much inquiry at once arose as
to who Capt Burbick is, who goes about
with Morgan, like pocket confessor,
ready to receive his parole in extremity?
The Ohio Statesman gives the informa-
ton in the following burst of JOY. We
thought as much when we first heard of
the trick
Hurrah for James Burbick, the Demo
cratic militia captain of old Columbiana
county, and the capturer of Morgan, who

Tod of Ohio If you want work done
you must get the Copperheads to do it
