The Mobile Register of the goth
says:
Mobile is the water gate way to
large and fertile portion of the State
interior, and precisely to that portion
in which the slave population is
most dense. Every spade full OF
earth thrown up here is so much ad-
dition to the defence eff every planta-
ton that lies on the Alabama and
Tomhigbee rivers, and for miles out
from their banks. Mobile is menaced
by the enemy from the Gulf. from
Pcnsac la and from Northwestern
Mississippi, The true "man on
horseback" Gen. Forrest. is watch
ing the latter. and sufficient force is
interposnd to deal with the raid COM
ing out from Pensacola to operate
against the Montgomery and Mobile
Railroad. Asto the land attack from
the Gulf, in the present situation.
"spades are trumps." We do not
say we will not be glad to see the in
terror sending armed men to help ,,s
defend this key TO the State, but la
borers are needed more than soldiers.
We believe We can defend Mobile as
it is, but send US three thousand of
vorr plantation hands for ten DAYS
or two weeks, and we can safely bid
defiance 20 10000 Of the best troops

The following account of the de
fences of Mobile, we take from .
Federal sheet:
Earthworks in three lines are said
to extend completely around the city
on the land side, with field pieces in
position. Several mud forts. witt,
guns of large calibre mounted upon
them, are within the eartl,vorks.
In the Bay, immediately ahead OF
the city, are three CO. four gunhoats,
and several small iron clad forts
These are intended TO resist an ad-
vance cf a feet up the Bay, or the
occupation Of the city hy land forces.
As We learn from the report of :lle
reconnaissance made TO the obstruc-
tons near the city by the Admiral on
the 1ith inst, the Nashville lies
sunk directly across the channel,
making access to the city Impossible
until she is removed
The Nashville, it will be rernem~
bered by our readers, WAS being fitted
ont as an iron-clad ram at the same
time as the Tennessee, but was found
to be too unwieldy and unmanagea-
bic
The Nashville drew too much wa
ter to he lighted over Dog River
Bar. and the rebels sunk her in the
channel for the purpose gilmore efiec-
tually obstructinm it.

The evil at present prevailing in this

should be taken for its suppression. We
do not presume to suggest what is the
proper remedy. but we think the evil is of
sufficient magnitude to demand the il ter
position of the Government and the State
authorities. One or Jyo cases of sun mary
punishment would, probably, put stop to
such PRACTICES. 1t is especially demanded
for the protection of the families of our

the soldier has left behind him when ha

he negro on an equality withthe white in.

In this view OF this pro. .nising new terrific.

of the name "SIonrana" He would labor
under no ignorance in that respect if the
name we suggest should be selected.
