Mobile Blockaded-subscription for Jackson's family.

Mobile. May 27.
--A U. S. war steamer commenced the blockade of our harbor yesterday morning. Fort Morgan welcomed the steamer by displaying the U. S. flag with Union down from the same staff with the Confederate flag, and under the latter.

A subscription has been opened here for the benefit of the family of Jackson, the Alexandria landlord, who killed Ellsworth. The amount has reached a thousand dollars.
