| The Mobile Mailboats |
| The steamer Oregon left here
this morning at 7 o'clock, carrying the mail of yesterday and the day
previous, with a large number of passengers for Mobile. We are informed,
however, that this will be the last trip of the Mobile mailboats, in
consequence of apprehended dangers from being intercepted by Federal war
steamers, and that the mails will hereafter be sent by railroad via
Jackson, Miss. {New Orleans, Jackson & Great
Northern RR}, and thence to Mobile, by the Mobile & Ohio Road. |
