The Grand Expedition,

aHe hrEnu lT.pfeattoh'
Our summary Of news from the North Is OF
more interest to-day than usual. Tho sailing
orders of The great Naval Expedition will at.
tract especial attention. Speculation will now
soon be at end; and perhaps before these
lines shall be printed the telegraph will tell us
where the blow has fallen. After reading
these orders, however, We cannot join in the
opinion which 10 eone extent prevails, thaC
tho contemplated landing is Intended on any
comparatively secluded and undefeEdcd spot
If this giant force is TO take possession OF some
sard bar or marshy island, or Esa.coast village,
why such strict Injunction that the expedition
should sail in q body ond the e'l&i":a land in
su:h heavy array, and with tlra s''noni;ion
that their courag. will probably Ii tss;ed? If
We Judge these orders by the ordinary rul:s,
and in connection with the Northern boasts
that a terrible blow Is to be struck. and at our
very vitals, we cannot bu. conclude that it is eE-
pectcd TO dabalk either in the vic nifty Of q
strong Confederate army or Of Il large Confede.
rate city. Applying these Tests, Pensacola, and
Char lesion, ann Savannah and NcT Oheaus
are the points which present themselves TO our
mind. There is something so absurd in tho
injunction To keep the expedition clos, to
gether, and TO land 10 . long line ri boats, and
with elaborate precautions, for the purpose Of
capturing Sand Point or Mosquito Bar, or
Alligator Inlet, that 1t is difficult 10 conceive
that the Northern Generals would thus make
themselves ridiculous.
If the expedition attempt to land a. an i'm
portant point, We hope that our jnrce would be
sufficient i5T their repuise. Il among The
pines and sEamps, they will have committed a
great Jelly, snd Injured themselves, not u3.-
