EDITORS' CORRESPONDENCE.
MOBILE, December 3.
We hear that a 74 gun ship of the enemy, and some smaller vessels, have appeared off Mobile Point.
I am sorry to state an account heard this day. Perhaps it is not true. We are informed, however, that Lt. Carey of the 2d regiment with two soldiers, was killed by some Indians, in descending the Alabama; that the enemy took some women prisoners and carried them to the neighborhood of Pensacola, where finding that our troops had been there, they killed the women also.
