now two rams ready at that point, and on the day the three men left a draft of twenty four sailors were sent up the river to take them down. Two more rams were nearly finished and expected down in a few weeks. The channel in Mobile bay is blocked up by sunken vessels, but there are no torpedoes sunk in it. The rebels possess, however, a peculiar invention in the shape of an 'infernal' arrangement, worked by clock work, which is set off against a vessel at a distance of a mile. Fort Gaines, on Dauphin Island mounts twenty-two guns; Fort Morgan, on the main land, one hundred and twenty guns; Fort Grant, at Grant's Pass, on the northwest side of Dauphin Island, three guns; while at the mouth of Spanish river a heavy iron-clad battery, mounting 10 inch and 11 inch guns, and at Dog river a formidable sand battery commands the channel. On the east side of the Spanish river the ship Danube, mounting six guns and heavily iron clad, is anchored. She is officered from the army.
