The New York Commercial ddrcriiser of
last evening makes the following pleasing an
nounccment;
There is no danger TO bo apprchcudcd from the
nouurcmcnt nt this time That Ht least expedition has
sailed from Norlhcrh polls during he last w days and
is WOba.ll its way the southern coast II lis
known that number of steamers have lately len this
port Hnd thai one nr tNp regiments have uysiruousY
disappeared We learn That the object of General
Buffers visit 20 New England t1 supcriu'cud sm-
liar ruha kution possibly from Boston, and whirh may
also b., this time be the high seas % cooperate with
that from this city 20 what extent the squadron lying
OF Fortress Monroe may lake par u IT, we arc NOT pre-
pared Co say present il Is sufficient 90 state that
public scNauts mover more actively engaged than
they have been NJ late and that Cen Butler acted
adroiy than tho occasion NJ his visit
look alter domestic aihis mat required his immediate
presence The uvatious which he received his way
homc were not designed as tributes to oycwecnng van
iiy, but concealed piece of genuine Yankee manage
mcnt May We soon hear from this gallant son Of old
Massachusetts"
The New York Posi in chronicing the fact
that nearly ten thousand soldiers have been
dispatched from that city during the last four
days, remarks that unusual reserve is mani
tested on the part OF the military authorities
in regard 90 the destination Of these regi-
mcnts. The three which left so suddenly on
Sunday cvenng--the Third Rhode Island,
the Eighth Maine, and the Third New Hamp-
shirc-Hro understood to have been at least a
part of coast expedition which has, for u
considerable period, been projected and the
destination Of those which have since depart
cd, though nominally for Washington, is a
matter simply of speculation. The officers
profess to be entirely ignorant in this respect
and the remark ia substance, " that even
the commandant Of regiment no longer
knows where he is going" is not uncommon.
WAN MATTERs.- Washington cores
pendent Of the New York Post says there is
good evidence that the Government expects
an attack from the rebels between Alcxan-
and the Chain Bridge, II they make any at
tack at all 1t is believed that Beauregard
and Johnston have rclinquished their idea of
crossing the river many miles above or below
Washington, for want of sufficient transport
tation, and that they will make desper-
ate attempt on our line Of Notifications. if
they take the offensive at ALL If they could
capture Fort Corcoran, Washington would
be at their mercy, as its guns could be turned
upon the city TO its utter ruin Besides. if
they should win battle in front of our en-
trenchmcnis. they could be near enough 10
the city to take advantage Of their victory
