The Latest Newa.

The Virginia papers by last mail give lengthy &C.
counts of Lincons Naval expedition The general
order Of Gen. Sherman is published, giving in de-
tail the plan of it's movements method of landing.
&c. The n. Y. Herald says the objects Of the ex.
petition t. carry the war iEto the States;
to winter quarters for the Federal troops and
safe harbors for the navy and commercial marine !;
to open Southern ports fer the expectation Of COT
ton, and to form nuclei in the South for the rally
ing of Unionsts. The point of attack seems yet to
be conjecture. Some fix it at Port Royal, S. c.
Recent developments lead US to change our opinion
to Its design. There is every indication that tho
attack will be made upon the coast Of South Carroll
ma or Georgia, possibly below Wilmington on our
coast-yet we think it barely possible. A few days
will relieve our anxiety We trust wherever it may
be- our people will he ready for it.
Rumor has been busy about Richmond for few
days. intimating the resignation of Gen. Beaure.
gard. About Washington it is also said that Gen.
Mcclellan will resign We believe neither.
Nothing of special interest has occurred on the
Potomac or the Peninsula. We have mo news from
Kentucky or Missouri Of moment
The papers announce the death Of Gen. Sam.
Houston, of Texas.
We observe that Gen: Hill has called out the mi
litia in the North Eastern counties. This call is
doubtless made in anticipation Of an early attack,
but the assurance that the feet has passed our
coast will, we judge, induce him to countcrmand
the orders The occasion for such call ought to
be of the most imperious nature. In the mean
time we must repeat what we have heretofore sug.
~gested that the immediate reorganization Of the
militia and more frequent drilling than the new
militia law requires, is demanded by the exigences
of the times. =.

great disadvantages for the want of direct telegraph

the disadvantage of not beng in direct connection

that direction, are necessarily delayed. Such is the
