olina. In one word, If strong corps be
placed at Beaufort, as we presume the
Government intends. the military position
at Beaufort is one Of gigantic importance.
We suggested, some days since. that the
expedition might 60 to Savannah, and
that an advance through Knoxville, from
our own side, would catMs Somh in tlgo,
destroy their railroad communications and
literally make them hors de combat Not
more than one third the army Of the Po
tomac would he required to do the whole
work We have now strong hope thai
something Of this sort will be accomplish
ed, and that an active geueralship will
give some other employment to the gresl
armies Of the Potomac, than merely to a
muse themselves and the world by staring
each, other. out of countenauee. The
South is now, unless We are greatly mis-
taken, to feel the force Of the blow whicl
a half million Of men can strike.
