The expected attack on Mobile --The Mobile press is fully expectant of an attack there. The Tribune has the following speculations and intelligence relative to if, which are interesting just now: The telegraph news yesterday informed us that the enemy has evacuated Corinth. Very extensive works were put up there. He has not evacuated it because it was --did it unquestionably voluntarily. For Pillow it is also reported, has been evacuated. It was in no danger, and also was evacuated voluntarily. Island No.60. too, has into the possession of our threes.--That, also, could have been held. What does all this imply. Why, evidently, that the enemy has other uses for the forces necessary to hold those places, and expects to use them to a better purpose elsewhere. Gen. Sherman, at the last accounts, was on the Mississippi, coming down with heavy and transports. What does that mean? We suppose that those transports are carrying the troops which were employed in ho

Witmore of the United States navy, writes to the Memphis Argus, the following account of the Fort Pillow fight: The combined forces of Major Gen.

upposed victory, was the only thing of interest which has occurred for several days to break the monotony. There were no casualties on our side, though the shot and shell flew thickly, and came while our men were little expecting such an outburst of feeling and animation. From Georgia. Lafayette (the last point from which the enemy hears of General Hood) will be remembered as the point from which General Bragg marched out to fight the battle of Chickamauga, and the scene of General Pillow's cavalry disaster. It is an insignificant little village in Walker county, Georgia, twenty-two miles from Chattanooga, at the extremity of Wills's valley. General Hood can march up this valley and tap the railroad twelve miles from Bridgeport, near the river, and push forward over the route followed by Rosecrans upon the Sebastopol of East Tennessee. Hood has now reached the mountainous and rugged country, defensible by nature; and he is in possession, also, of all the defences,

ated this line and retired to Nashville. Our army then occupied this line; and early the next day pushed on towards Nashville; and on the 1st of December, when our informant left, the rear corps was at Breatwood, eight miles from Nashville. "The loss of the enemy could not be ascertained, as they had removed most of their dead. Our loss was heavy — between two and four thousand. The distressing mortality among our generals is confirmed. There were five killed--Cleburne, Strabl, Granberry, Gist and John C. Carter. There were five generals wounded — Quaries, not mortally, as first reported; Brown, slightly; Johnson, and the names of the other two were not remembered by our informant. General Gordon was captured. A large amount of stores were captured, especially at Columbia. Recruits are joining Hood's army in numbers more than sufficient to supply all the losses, and the army is in high spirits. General Pillow arrived at his plantation in time to capture large stores.

d the following: "Resolved, That the report of General John Preston, Superintendent of Conscription, shows laxity and culpable neglect in the execution of the conscript law. "Resolved, That neither Congress nor the country looks to General Pillow for a faithful execution of the laws; and any failure, delay or partiality in their execution must rest upon the President and not on General Pillow. "Resolved, That General Preston is in error as to the number of conscripts furnished byGeneral Pillow. "Resolved, That General Preston is in error as to the number of conscripts furnished by the State of North Carolina, as well as in the number of his so-called quasi volunteers." Mr. Turner stated that General Preston had done great injustice to North Carolina, and that this was not the first time in the reports of that officer, or in the remarks of gentlemen on this floor, that the State of North Carolina had been reflected upon. But, sir, North Carolina is known through the whole country for her patriotism and readiness to obey constitutional laws. Mr. Turner proceede
