How LANE WOULD HAVE SAVED
LEXINGTON. The Saint Louis Cen
trail Christian AdUocatc, edited by
the venerable DR.. Elliott. formerly
of this city, has an editorial article
on General j. II. Lane, OF Kansas.
1t is by no means an unqualified
eulogy; but the Reverend author il
constrained to bear the following
testimony to Lanes activity:
We have it from a source that il
Gle sely allied to the confidence o
Lane, that he telegraphed TO Ere
mont to head Price before the latte
attacked Lexington. After Price
got to Lexington, Lane again tele
graphed, asking permission to attacl
him. Both applications were dc
clined. 1t is probable, had Ian
been permitted TO make the attack
Lexington had not been taken.

Rebel Views OF the Great Expedhion'
Our summary OF news from the
North is Of more interest to.day than
usual. The sailing orders OF the
great naval expedition will attract
especial attention. Speculation will
soon be at an end; and perhaps be.
tore these lines are printed the tel
egraph will tell us where the blow
has fallen. After reading the orders.
however, we cannot j"in in the opin.
ion which Ia some extent prevails,
that the contemplated landing is
intended on any comparatively Sc
cluded or undeiyndcd spot. II this
giant force is to take possession OF
some sand bar or marshy island, or
sea coast village, why such strict
Injunction that the expedition should
sail in body, and the Soldiers land
in euch heavy array, aud with the
admonitioh that their courage will
be tcstedp II we Judge these orders
Ivy the ordinary rule, and in connect.
ion with the Northern boasts that
terrible blow is to be struck, and at
our very vitals, we cannot but con.
clude that it is expected to debark
either in the vicinity Of strong con.
federate army or Of n large confeder
ate city. Applying these tests Pen.
sacola, Charleston, Savannah and
New Orleans, are tho points which
present themselves to our mind -
There is something so absurd in the
injunction to keep the expedition
close together, and to land in a long
line OF boats, and with elaborate
preparations, for the purpose OF cap
turing Sand point or Mosquito bar,
or Alligator inlet, that 1t is Difficult.
to conceive tat the Northern Gen
erals would thus make themselves
ridiculous.
lfthe expedition attempted to land
at all important point, we hope that
our force would be sufficient for their
repulse. II among the pines and
swamps, they will have committed
a great folly, and injured themselves,
not us. We are NOT, however, with
out other hopes. The wins have
been bowling, and the clouds have
been pouring out their floods. We
confess. tho blast Of the storm has
sounded in our cars like sweet music.
1t has made us think OF the Spanish
armada, that sailed in great pomp,
on grand design, but was dispersed
by the winds, and vanquished with
out meeting an enemy. Who knows
but that stormy latteras was created
for such time as this? Who car
tell but that the rocks and sands o.
