THE EVENING STAR IKVES>T>1E7IT OF FORT MOBGA^ Rrbrl Accounts? Dog River B? CrMMd, Tin- Kicbmond Sentinel of Wednesday, the 17th, coi)t&id* a dispatch dated Mobile, iota, which ear 8 that on the previous daj* two mon itors and five Yankee gunboats crossed I>og nvf-r I ar, and, approaching within two miles of the "obstrnctioifs," shelled the rebel batte ries and gunboats for three hours. The rebel guuboats replied, according to the dispatch, but their batteries remained silent. At snnset the Yankee fleet withdrew from their reconnoissanee. On the morning of the 16th heavy cannon, aiding, in the direction of Fort Morgan, was teard at Mobile. The Spirit ?f the People?The Lily Mat to ten Second Hew Orleans?The Prospect. i From the Richmond Examiner, Aug. 15.] The mail brought us yesterday Mobile pa pers of the loth, the first that have been re ceived for some time. They give us some news of the fight on the 5th, and the state of feeliag ar d excitement in the city. The Register says: On receipt of the news that the enemy had passed Fort Morgan, the General ordered the bell rung, according to previous notice, as a signal to the citizens that the time for com pleting their organization was at hand, and ;hat this work could no longer be delayed. It Is unnecessary tosav that this summons caused great excitement; but if it partook of the na ture of panic we were unable to discover it. {Several new organizations were set on foot among the citizens, while those of the military who are here absent from their commands, showed a commendable alacrity in their pre parations for bearing a share in the work be fore them. Among the earliest acts of the day was that of the Mayor and municipal boards, pledging tne resources of the city to the commanding general, and requesting him to defend Mobile to the last extremity. These are strong words, and we doubt not the city authorities used them with a full understanding of their great import. We understand them to mean that Mobile is not to be be made a second New Or leans, but that when enough shall have been done for safety, and in vain, (If it must be so,) the honor of the city will still remain in his hands, and the wish of the people is that it be made a pile of ruins, an altar of sacrifice, rather than become the theatre of such dis graceful scenes as have been enacted In our sister city. If there are any who dissent from this view, who would consent to live under Y'ankee rule, we warn them to look to their goods and chattels?their household gods, and the only ones which their craven spirits ac kBrtSPledged? for we haye sounded the hearts ? of the real petple of Mobile in vain for the last three years if it falls into the hands of the en ? emy otherwise than a desolate, fire-blackened waste. But we are persuaded better things, though we thus speak, and we do not believe it is writ ten In the book of fate that the enemy are to tread even the ashes of Mobile, and they them selves do not expect it this time. Where is their co-operating land force ? and without it what impression can they make upon our inner line of defences ? Indeed, if the forts but hold out, an opportunity presents itself for a splen did triumph, even over their naval force, with whcm it is a problem, tor the solution of which we shall look with some cnrtjelty, Mow they are to run back past Fort Morgan, after they have burned all their coal. Even, however, it the forts fall, the powerful batteries which gird the front of our city remain to give the enemy another Fort McAllister les son, and with this difference; that at Fort McAllister they had deep water to fight in, while here its shallowness permits only the access of their weaker craft, many of which, if they have the fol ly to engage the batteries seri ously, wi 1 be sent to keep the Tecumseh com pany. O* that side we are safe; on the other It behcrtms us all, yonng men and old, to put our hands to the work and give our services to the commanding general, who will keep "watch against Y'ankee force or guile." In conclusion, to the people of the city we can only speak in the terms of General Maury's order. Itrafans that the city should strip for the fi*ht, and send off the ?non-combatants. The steamboats and railroads will carry off all son- combatants whoapply, and withoutcharge to those who cannot pay. The object is to save life and limb when the city is Bhelled. There is no thought of surrendering the city, nor any belief that it can be taken. t An Appeal to the Citizen*. The following appeal appears in the papers of Mobile: * y General Dabney H. Manry, commanding the Pistrict of the Gulf, has made an appeal to all men in this community to take up arms and organize themselves at once to repel the enemy, who has come again to possess himself of this harbor and city, and has assigned to Colonel A. S. Herron the duty of organizing and com manding the Louisianians and the battalion of employees; and to Colonel T. J. Judge the duty of organizing and commanding all other troops which may be organized under this call. Th?- undersigned accept the respective posi tions assigned them by this order, and urgently appeal to all men in the respective classes des ignated to organize at once, and report with their respective organizations to the Military Court-rcoms in this city. Organize into com panies, and organize speedily, and report im mediately. Men of Mobile and vicinity, do not "hang fire'' on this appeal. A. S. Hbrrok, TnoMAs J. Judge, Ccls. and Judges of Military Court, Mobile. The Prospect?Will Mobile Fall ? So far as we can judge from the tone of the Mobile press, there seems to be no fear or de spondency on the part of her citizens. The opinion there seems to be that the city yet is safe, and will be able to hold out against any attack that may be attempted. The Georgia press teems to be equally confident. A paper, familiar with the defences of Mobile, says of the situation: ? The situation looks bndenou?h to the super ficial observer, but to one acquainted witn the powerful defences of Mobile, between Fort Morgan and the city, all of which have yet to be overcome, the picture Is not so dark and sombre. Immediately guarding the city, and just below its lower suburbs, we have several strong forts, constructed both upon artificial islands and along the shores. In addition to these, obstructions are driven down into the water Immediately under our heaviest guns, which would be obliged to be removed before a vessel of any class could go by and appear in front of the city. We think there are many other works down the bay, of great and small proportions, which are capable of powerful resistance. If Admiral Farragut has no infan try to co-operate with his fleet, the city is not In much danger. Miscellaneous. The Mobile Register says Adm>ral Frankiin Buchanan lost a leg by amputation, and is a prisoner. Capt. Johnson, of the Tennessee, is a prison er, and unhurt. Capt. Pat Marphy, before surrendering the Selma, laid her alongside of Farragut's flag snip, and-poured in her broadsides until he was captured. The iron-clad double-ender engaged her, and in the first exchange of shots the machinery of both was disabled. The Morgan is safe, and there is a hope that she will reach the city. Just before the fight began the Red Gauntlet steamer ran the blockade and came safely into port. ? Atlanta. [From the Atlanta Appeal, Aug. 4.] Thk I.inks ? Y'esterday afternoon the enemy made several vigorous assaults upon our skir mishers at various points along the lines, but their efforts were soon suspended, In conse quence of the heavy storm of wind and rain that came up. This ceasing about 5 o'clock, the attack was vigorously renewed, partic uiariy along our center and left, and the heavy roll of musketry and booming of cannon con tinued after cightfall. We learn this morning that the effort of the enemy to gain an advantage failed at all points, and that the casualties on our side were few in number. The firing was so severe at times it was thought a general battle would ensue, but it gradually ceased a little after dark. During the night the pickets indulged in a little prac tice at various points. j nrted*1 * lbe eacmy'8 ,lne8 bas ^en re* Til* City?Since noon yesterday the city has received more than the usual attention of til# GO*my * b*tt*rlet.
