Bulletin of the 9Th inst. 1t shows that the
Hoosiefs are not behind the black sheets Of
New York In laying down plans for the sub

We have just seen u most intelligent gentle
men from Springfield the place forever in fa :.
NOUS for having furnished the LAST President
of the United States. The leading men In
Springfield have already arranged all ma tiers
for the complete sublugation Of the Valley of
the Mississippi. By the close of the waek
there will be Is 900 troops in Cairo and a re-

boats are 10 take this one In tow, with the van
guard 70 600 strong, TO capture all the for tiff
/ cations on the Mississippi, the location and
strength of each of which is said to be perfectly
! known TO the officers At Cairo
The fort at Randolph is 10 be assaiied both by
/ land and water. The topogra phy of the coun
! try and roads back of Randolph have been
/ mapped and furnished to the leaders of the
! expedition. The reserve guard of Cairo will
| take possession OF Randolph and other fort-
fled points, while the flset of boats with % e0O
! men will proceed to Memphis The city is to
/ be pillaged and garrisoned, and then the In
vading horde of plunderers goes down the
/ river, landing at different points, calling for
aid, and issuing proclamations melting rebel

waste the country. At Eicksburg serious re

the city In the rear has already been devised
| AT New Orleans the North Yves tern troops
are to be met by fifty thousand men from the

! Beauty and booty" will again be the VIII
cry OF armed host s who would desolate the
peerless city of the South.
