A Practical suggestion.
--The Mobile Evening News suggests, very opportunely, that a boat guard, to patrol the waters of the Mississippi Sound, to do watery scouting and picket duty, should be instituted as soon as possible. There should be, of course, armed cruisers in the Sound, and so there are, but there should also be a considerable number of small boats or smacks, not heavy launches, fast under sail or oars, capable of carrying from six to ten men. With these in constant motion, there could be no treasonable communication with the enemy, and no movement could be made which would not be quickly discovered and notice given to our forces.
