There are indications Of stirring news
from Mobile. Most OF the rebel troops
collected for the defence Of that city have
been sent to Johnston and Lee, and the
presence Of General Candy on board the
United States blockading squadron of
Mobile. is porlent OF contem plated land
and naval attack on that city. Admiral
Farragut. the hero Of New Orleans, com
mands the feet at Mobile, and we have
iron'clads enough in the Mississippi to or
ganize formidable naval expedition in
aid OF Farragut, should an attack be med
itated.
General Candy was recently in New
Orleans, and issued peremptory orders to
mount heavy guns on the works at Chal'
mette, and his visit to Farragut we trust,
has mischief to the rebels in it.

Tho true cause of the resignation OF the

1t is well known that Mr.. Chase has been

1t is also known that the selfish struggles
for Mr.. Cisco's place in tho Now York Sui
Treasury. to which Mr.. Chase felt bound tc
oppose himself. and in which it is said h,

which made his Office burdensomo.

says: %
