tages OF situation are largely on our side.
Deceived as TO our original intentions, most
Of the rebel fOress designed to protect the
. Mobile and Ohio Rsilrcsd and The rayige-
tioc CT the Alabama and Tombigbae rivers,
are far UP a the interior, or else so scat-
tered, in their sndeavors to cover vulnsra-
bic points Of the railroad, as 70 leave no
great strength. Furtbernors, they fear
another raid from Yieksburg or &enphis.
We will not PORN them 70 alter the pres
snt disposition Of their troops. They can
not make a movement without sndauger-
ing the c-mmunieatioRs Of Mobile. This
stats Of affairs is being taken advantage Of,
and sucb movements and dispositions being
made as promise speedily 70 compel the
fall q the city. Gsl. Granger is already
active, while the troops on and near Pas a
gouia river will not be fag behind. lex
