culiarly significant in their bearing upon the present volcanic condition of affairs in the United States. Projected attack on Mobile. All the letters from the Southern coast to the Northern papers agree that a bombardment of Mobile has been determined on. A letter to the New York Times, from the fleet near New Orleans, says: Next to Richmond Mobile is the most essential part to the vitality of the rebellion. With that for our stronghold instead of theirs Montgomery on the Alabama river, and Tuscaloosa on the Tombigbee, might soon be reached by our forces, giving us possession of the railroad system between the Eastern and Western States of rebeldom. This would cut their country in two more disastrously than the entire control of the Mississippi could effect it. The reported means of repelling an attack on Mobile would be hardly credited, were it not that in the engagement below New Orleans their contrivances for defence were found to be quite as and as ugly as

A curious circumstance about this camp is — that but very few graves can be seen. Whether the burying ground is as yet undiscovered by visitors, or whether the dead were carried away, is unknown to us — but there can be no denying the fact, that many an invading Yankee yielded up the ghost at Berkeley and Westover. Yankee Fright at A letter to the New York Herald says that on the 17th ult., General Ferry, commanding at Suffolk, received intelligence from scouts and others that the enemy in strong force had crossed Blackwater, and was then and there engaged in erecting a bridge across that sheet of water, for the purpose of transporting artillery and cavalry over, and to attack Suffolk that night.

But their chief glory is one "bright particular" ram, built in avoidance of all the errors of construction discovered too late in the Kindred of New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Hampton Roads. To cut short all brilliant and fearful accounts of it, you may suppose it to be such a piece of iron work and warring power, that both Volcan and Mars would jump at the chance of staking upon it then claims to Deity in those latter days when they pass for precious old humbugs. How much the foregoing is entitled to consideration, I don't pretend to judge. It is the substance, keeping inside of probability of the carious representations to us at New Orleans and Pensacola.

The reported means of repelling an attack on Mobile would be hardly credited, were it not that in the engagement below New Orleans their contrivances for defence were found to be quite as and as ugly as they had boasted them to be. It is quite as well, now, to pay some attention to such representations. It is certain they have had seventeen months in which to get ready. They say they have made a stand at Dog River Bar on the west side of Mobile Bay, six miles below the city, where they have sunk obstructions in the channel, driven in piles thickly on the outside of the same, and anchored a line of submarine torpedos still further out. That inside the obstructions they have heavily armed boats while on the shore are tier upon tier of earthworks, with batteries of rifled cannon.

I may say it is a general belief in this fleet that we are about to undertake a work, the magnitude and intensity of which is not appreciated at the North. After the terrific fight in passing the forts below New Orleans, it was very pleasing to be encouraged by papers from home with the supposition that we should have but light work at Mobile. M'Clellan's deserted Camp. The Petersburg Express says the deserted camp of McClellan, on James river, is the scene for the wildest waste and desolation: Thousands of torn and half rotten tents, rusty axes, spades, shovels, fish barrels, beef barrels, and liquor cases, can be seen strewn broadcast over the ground. Minie balls, musket balls, cannon balls and shells, from the largest to the smallest size. He around in thick profusion.

The New York Times cannot understand how the rebel army so successfully got out of Maryland after all the promises of its destruction. It says: The country will share the surprise with which we learn, from our Washington correspondence this morning, that we have no force in the rear of the rebels on the South side of the Potomac.y to know why so evident a precaution was not against the escape of the rebel army from the perilous position into which their audacity had betrayed them. It was confidently asserted, when the rebels first crossed the Potomac and entered Maryland, that they would never leave it, that they would be completely hemmed in and utterly destroyed or compelled to surrender. It can hardly be supposed that all this was expected at the hands of Gen. McClellan. He was sent to attack them in front,
