Is Mobile ApproachabIe by Water:

morning contemporary, whose habit is to
take an unfavorable view OF the situation gen.
orally, expresses the opionion that Farragut
will not be able to capture Mobile on account
of the shallowness of the water in the bay
Yet this same journal info rmed Us yesterday
that the Tennessee and other ships-of- war
comprising Bucbanan's fleet, were constructed
at Selma, on the Alabama river, one hundred
and forty miles above Mobile. II Buchanan
can float his ships-of down the Alabama
river and Mobile Bay, why cannot Farragut
float his up?
Again Maury, in his dispatch announcing
the destruction OF portion of the feet, says
'Tbe Morgan is safe, and will try TO run mp to-
night" If The Morgan, which is heavy IRON
clad, mounting five guns, crossed the shoals
and reached the city, is it not reasonable to sup
pose that Farragut followed in her wake
Would the old sea dog, who has on so
many occasions overcome the shoals of the
Mississippi, be held at bay by the Mobile shall
lows?
1t is true the bay, for distance of 20 miles
or more from the city, will not admit ships of
heavy bnrthen, but we opine that the Union
Admiral made provisions for this before setting
out on his enterprise.
Just prior TO the rebellion board Of COM
mlssioners was appointed by the Alabama Le-
gisIature to deepen the harbor of Mobile. 1t
is doubtful If the work has ever been COM
pieted but whether it has or not, vessels car
rying three hundred and fifty or tour hundred
TOPS sail up without difficulty to the wharves
OF the city.
Farragut has undoubtedly encountered nu-
the bay, but there are no natural Instructions
to prevent at least his mortar boats from get
ing within Smelling distance Of the city.-N. L.
Commercial. r-
aMoCooK's RETURN.-The return OF Gen.
Ed. McCoOk, with & comparatively trif1ing
loss, has given occasion for great Joy among
loyal men; while the rebels have been CORES
pondingly downcast. On Thursday-fast ny
all kinds of rnmors were set afloat by dis.
loyal newsmongers. They industriously cir
culated the report that Sherman had retreated
across the 0hattahoochee, and a few had him
back this side of Dalton. They will not be
long in hearing intelligence which will cause
anothing but Joy am ong them.-Ndshuilte Union,

but 1t was evident that he sympathized with
the rebel Confederacy Notwithstanding. He
frankly confessed that the reason why he had
given himself up was that he knew the cause
of the South was doomed-that they had neither
men nor money enough to hold out much Ion
