WHAT NExT.-It not to be expect
ed that Charleston or Savannah will At
once fall into tho hands Of our troops.
Rumor has aleady furnished news Of
the capture Of tho former city, and IN
less we hear Of such a result very soon,
many ardent souls will be disappointed, b,
It is important to remember that we are
now in the heart Of an snemy's country,
with the sen in our rear.
If tho anti.Union sentiment be as
strong ia the South us has been repre-.
sented, the men will organize new ar
mics to resist us, and our position will
be rapidly enclosed by hostile lines,
through which wo must fght our way
into the interior. We have some hope
that an expedition from Beaufort may
be rapidly fitted ont to destroy one or
more Of the four railroad bridges which
carry tho Savannah and Charleston
railroad over the head d-wators Of Broad
river and St. Helena Sound, some
twelve miles from Beaufort. This
would efTectually cut of Communication
between the two cities, and, even if il
were impossible TO hold the position,
would seriously disarrango plans for a
united attack on our position in Port
Royal harbor But beyond such an ex-
pedition as this VIC shall not anticipate
any interior movements until tWouty OF
thirty thousand moro troops are landed
iu South Carolina, and perhaps an oqusI
number are at Ship Island, or Pensa
cola.
The anticipation that the rebel forces
in front of Washington will be reduced
by the news Of the landing Of our forces
at Beaufort may not bo Immediately re
allied. 1t appears to US more likely
that the Southern Generals, when forced
to choose between two evils, will weaker
their army 10 the West rather than il
Virginia, and that forward movomen
of the Union forces in Kentucky, an,
into Eastern Tennessee, may be she frs
practical effect Of the success at th
South.-[New York Journal Of Com

PAEsoN BRowNLow STILL FIRM
Parson Brownlow announces that the
issue of tho Knoxville Wing of Ooto-
Der 26th will be the last for some time,
and perhaps forever. He is informed
that he has been indicted for treason by
the Rebel authorities at Nashville, and
immediately arranged to meet his sc-
cuscrs. In announcing the fact, the
old hero stands firm. He announces
his determination not to tarnish his
name with a single act of submission.
He will give no bonds, take no oath, do
nothing that does not become one ready
to sacrifice his all for the Union, he
says:
I shall in no degree feel humblod by
being cast into prison, whenever it is
the will and pleasure of this august
Government to put me there; but, on

ADDITIONS TO Arctic SC1EECE.-Ao.
cording to the New York Post, Dr..
Hayes's recent scientific exploring e1-
Pedition,to the arctic ocean was highly
successful. It's results are, briefly, the
completion Of tho survey Of Smiths
Strait; the discovery Of q new channel
to the westward Of Smiths Strait; the
confirmation Of DR.. Kans's theory re-
specting an open polar sea the deter
mination Of the magnetic dip, aud Of
the declinatiOn at many points within
the arctic circle; surveys Of gloaciers by
which their rate Of movement is detar-
mined; pendulum experiments and hy-
geographic surveys; a continuous set of
meteorological observations large col
lection of specimens Of natural his
tory; a valuable collection Of geo
logical specimens; the accomplishment
Of a higher north latitude than ever be-
fore attained upon land; and, lastly, q
large collection Of Photographic views Of
the country, icebergs, and of the natives
aud their settlements. There are thus
two hundred photographs Of arctic
scenery, the same number Of sketches,
and the statistics of about seventeen
hundred miles Of coast scsnory-results
which show that the Doctors time must
have been arduOusly occupied.

EAST TENNEssEB. We observe that
the public press, in view Of che reported
rising Of the Union men in East Ten
nessoe, expresses the unanimous hope
that General Buell., in command Of tho
Department Of Cumberland, will spoodi-
ly be able to support their movements
by q military demonstration, aud thus
also effectively follow up tho recent vic
tory Of Gen. Nelson ct Pikotou. The
New York Evening Post, ia referring
to this subject, says:
ain the general rejoioings over the
success Of our troops at Port Royal a
blow equally disastrous 70 the insurgents
is likely TO be overlooked. The burn
ing Of certain bridges on tho lino Of
the East Tennessee and Virginia Rail
road is one Of the most important events
Of the war. These bridges we're marked
by Union men at the commencement Of
tho war, and il was proposed to destroy
them some three months ago. Several
eminent Eest Tennosseans came on 10
Washington at that time and laid their
plans before Generals Scott aud Nc
| Clellan.
"Aftor consultation it was determin-
ed that the bridges should be untouched
until the army in Kentucky, then just
gathering secretly, under the orders Of
Gen. Anderson, should be prepared for
offensive movements; 10 order that the
march into Eastern Tennessee might bo
begun at the same time that the enc
my's railroad communications with that
region were suddenly cut of. To have
broken the bridges before would only
have had the effect Of putting the in.
surgents On their guard and giving
them time for repairs
1--WE trust 10 see Gen. Buell. at one,
follow up tho victory that tho gnllan
Nelson has gained, and push his army
past the Cumberland Gap into Eastern
Tennessee and Northern Georgia"

MATRIMONy IN FRANCE.-A married
Fronchw oman is in every respect her
husbands equal; he is not her lord and
moeter but her friend "N0n ami" is
the little title by which she addresses
him. The law may require her to love
him, to honor him by virtuous conduct,
but not TO obey him. lie has, indeed,
a certain superiority in the management
Of their common interests, but her rights
are none the moro effaced for that;
in certain cases her concurrence is in
dispensablc, and she has a deliberate
voice with an absolute veto. She re-.
mains the mistress Of her whole fortune,
by making a reservation respecting her
personal property. The husband and
wife are two partners who club their
capital for mutual advantage, but who
keep it distinct in their accounts, to
facilitate any partial and complete dis.
solution, She can make her own wi
and leave her husband without sou of
hers; if she die intestate, her property.
in some cases, slips completely through
his fingers. She must will it TO him,
for him to be safe and sure. The pro.
fits arising from the industry of the
husband aud wife. and the savings they
may be enabled TO put by, or com
mon stock, to half Of which the wife is
entitled. The law places such conf
dence in her. that ia the event Of her
widowhood she by right, is the guar
dian of her children. Between broth
ars and sisters thoro exists perfect
equality as to their rights Of inhori-
itance from their father and mother
IF the parents are inclined to disturb
this equality, or to favor a third person
to the prejudice of their children, the
law GSos limits to the power Of be-
queathing. A Fronchman cannot cut
of an offending son or daughter with "a
shilling, nor can he impoVersh his nc.
elected family by leaving large sums to
charitable institutions.
