We learn from a gentleman just arrived from New Orleans says the Mobile “Tribune” of the 25th, that on the 11th of August, about twenty thousand of Grant’s army landed at Camp Parapet, which is about three miles above Carolina. It was stated by the Yankees that within a day or two 10,000 more would, arrive. These men stated that they would either rendezvous at Ship Island or Pensacola, and that they intended to take Mobile within six weeks.
