MOBILE QUARANTINE STARTED AUGUST 18, 1866
We learn from Mr. T. H. Higin'botham who returned from Mobile yesterday that the quarantine of the boats from New Orleans was imposed by Gen. Wood, who headquarters at Augusta, Ga., on August 18, 1866.
The measure, as might be expected, elicits the condemnation of the citizens of Mobile and the sharp criticism of the press.
Notwithstanding the embargeo, persons readh Mobile daily from New Orleans by way of Pascagoula, whence they take a steamer for Mobile. Pascagoula not being an "infected port," steamers from that point find no difficulty in "going through."
Mr. Higinbotham also reports one fatal case of cholera on the wharf at Mobile when the steamer Sarah left.
