We lately heard much less than usual Of tho grand
invasion the South VIII CHI has been long promised
from Washington, on the line OF the Mississippi.
We have heard great deal more OF the enormous pre-
a;ions making to surround tho Conederates by land
ing forces various points their coast and marching
them step by step into the Interior subduing the Gulf
States. and hcm,ning in on their tanks and rear the
armies OF Beauregafd and McCucch. or course the
greater part of this is bravado. But fact that
