From Mobile.

Mobile, August 14.
--Major Carroll, for the exchange of prisoners by flag of truce, went to the fleet in the lower bay to-day to effect an exchange of the Dauphin island prisoners. Farragut stated that the prisoners had been placed at the disposal of Canby, and be could do nothing. Arrangements were made to send packages to prisoners from their friends.

General Maury orders officers and soldiers to remove their families forthwith. Non-combatants are again urged to leave the city.

The fleet is busily cruising in the bay in sight.

Heavy forces are in North Mississippi. Their destination is reported to be Mobile.
