2460 - L. Feb. 27; ed: 2/2 - General Sherinan is completely swallowed up in the
gulf states. His movements and intentions seem to be a matter of conjecture
and speculation.
"If Sherman once reaches Montgomery, he is about as far from Atlanta as
Chattanooga." - (6)

2506 - L. July 20; ed: 2/2 - The expedition of 20,000 men under General A.
J. Smith, on its way to Montgomery or Selma, has met with success.
Another important expedition, under General Rousseau, is also headed
for Selma or Montgomery and will probably meet Smith enroute and inflict
great damage to the enemy, as General Johnston cannot spare a man to re-
pel them.
If they reach Selma, the Union force will move on to Mobile or Mont-
gomery. "We watch with the greatest interest, this important expedition."

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)
