Kate Cumming: A Journal of Hospital Life in the Confederate Army of Tennessee.

April 11.—We can hear little or nothing from Mobile, but I have no idea that our people will try to hold it, now that Selma has gone. I suppose by this time our army has left it. We have evidently had some hard fighting at Spanish Fort. On looking over the list of killed and wounded in a Macon paper, among the killed the first name I saw was a son of Mrs. Mitchell of this place. He is the second or third she has lost in this war; she has my heartfelt sympathy.

Mrs. N. and her sister have left to-day. They expect to be able to go to North Carolina.
