ce we have been somewhat at a loss to discover. We have been able to conclude only that there now exists at the South a dearth of mammies, and that Mr. Pollard, having felt through long years the want of that most useful article, seeks to replenish the market by the importation of what we may call the raw material. Left himself an orphan in respect of mammy, at a tender age, with his locks unkempt, with his face dirty, with his mouth pitifully gaping for gruel, and with his trousers torn, he looks forward to future Pollards — still, if we may use the figure, mere shrubs — in a like condition of emptiness and squalor. He seeks, like a true philanthropist, to provide for their great want; and when the importation commences, mammies will, we suppose, be regularly quoted in the Prices Current.

From Mobile. Mobile, August 9. --Last night a soldier train ran into a land slide between Pollards and Montgomery and killed twelve and wounded fifty-seven of the First Mississippi battalion of artillery. Last night two white men and one negro were arrested for cutting the wires. Some Federal vessels are crossing in the bay. The garrison in Fort Morgan are in fine spirits; otherwise all is quiet below. [second Dispatch.] Petersburg, August 10. --The explosion yesterday is still unexplained. The enemy are concentrating their lines on our right, their left, and receding from the direction of the Weldon railroad and showing themselves in diminished force. Everything indicates that the enemy are throwing themselves, on the defensive. There was little sharp-shooting and scarcely any mortar or artillery firing to- day.
