7. The Commanding Officer of the Naval Squadron l
kindly consented to furnish 300 sailors to assist in launch-
ing and manning the surf-boats, and he appeals to the
patriotism of the masters, mates, and sailors of the several
transports to furnish an additional number of coxswains
and oarsmen.
Any deficiency of oarsmen in surf boats will be supplied
from the platoons on board of those respectively, so that
each boat when ready may be rapidly rowed ashore. The
soldier oarsmen will land and form with their platoons.
8. General and field officers, with their respective staffs,
will endeavour to obtain landing boats for themselves, and
the necessary coxswains and oarsmen from the transports
and other hired vessels of the fleet.
9. The seamen and officers of the troops on board each
transport will arrange with the master for voluntary helps
of this kind, which may be needed and can be given, and
will make a special report to their head-quarters as early as
practicable of the assistance thus rendered.

10. As soon as the landing shall have been effected, the
surf and other landing boats will revert to the chief quar-
termaster for immediate supplies.

11, The sick and nen-effective men will remain on board
the several transports until provision can be made for them
on shore. The non-effectives will be especially charged
with the care of the sick, under directions to be left by the
respective medical officers.

12. Medical officer; excepting one from each brigade to
be designated by the respective brigade commanders, will
land with the troops. The three medical officers left afloat
will, under the directions of the medical director, divide the
duty of visiting all the sick on board, including those of the
3d Rhode Island Regiment, and the battalion of Volunteer
Engineers. By order of

One version says :—" The objects expected to be
realised from the great naval expedition are to carry
the war into the cotton States which are chiefly re-
sponsible for the rebellion, and by doing so to pro.
duce the disorganisation and dispersion of the im-
mense rebel army now collected in Virginia. To
secure winter quarters for our troops, and harbours
of refuge for our naval and mercantile marine. To
open one or more Southern ports to commerce, and
thus satisfy all demands, and obviate all difficulties
about the supply of cotton,"

Mr. Memminger, the Secretary of the Confede-
rate Treasury, has issued a circular, dated Rich.-
mOno, 17th October, relative to the produce loan
dud the appeal of the cotton planters for relief.
Mr. Memminger, in the name, of the Cabinet, de-
clines to grant any relief, either by the purchase of
the cotton-trop or an advance upon its hypothe-
cated value. He declares that the South, being
now engaged in a gigantic war, needs money, and
no planters' notes or produce, and explains that
what the Government requires is a loan from the
planters, secured by Treasury notes, which now
form the currency of the Confederate States. He
advises the plaiters to apply to the banks for relief,
and recommends them to apply themselves in future
to the cultivation of grain and other products ra-
ther than to that of cotton.

Brigadier-General Kelly attacked Romney,
Western Virginia, on the night of the 25th of
October, after a march from New Creek, and com-
pletely routed the Confederates, taking some pri-
soners, three pieces of artillery, and all their wag-
gons and camp equipage. The Confederates retreated
towards Winchester.
The New Fork limes of the 29th ult. says :
" There is nothing new to report in the condition of
affairs in the vicinity of Washington. General Fremont
reached Bolivar, 30 miles above Springfield, on flip 26th
(evening), and is now without doubt in the occupation of
Springfield. He was to leave the peat morning, with Gen.,
Siegel's division, to make a forced march to that place. The
remainder of ,his army is also hurrying rapidly forward.
General M'Kinstry, on the 25th, was only two miles north
of Warsaw. General Pope was already below the Osage,
and General Hunter was in advance of him. Late advices
from Price's army render it probable that he is endeavour-
ing to reach Arkansas in obedience to instructions from
General Johnston, who, it is understood, has been appointed
commander of the rebel force in Missouri."

were successful. A scouting party of the Illineis
28th encountered a party of Confederate cavalry
and infantry on the 26th, 30 miles below Cairo, and
routed them. The second affair -also took place on
the 26th between three companies of the Illinois
9th and a companyof Confederate cavalry, 48 miles
up the Cumberland River from Paducah. The Con-
federates were completely routed, with the loss of
13 killed, 24 prisoners, 52 horses, and all their camp
equipage.
