2513 - L. Aug. 12; ed:2/1 - Attention of the nation is directed toward
Mobile, Ala. Word from that city warns us that Mobile is in greater dan-
ger now than at any time during the war. The capture of Mobile will have
important bearing on affairs in Alabama. Its possession will give us the
navigation of the Alabama river as far as Montgomery, and will enable
Sherman to advance to Alabama and Georgia. -
"On the whole, the speedy fall of Mobile is predicted, if Admiral
Farragut and General Asbothano allowed to indulge their fighting propen-
sities." (12)
