on New Orleans He will hardly attemptto force Charles

illness OF its batteries He will doubtless attack wha
he considers our weakest, and at the same time mos
important and most assailabe points, such as Mobile
and New Orleans At the same time he will send a
feet OF steamboats, down the Mississippi He viii prob
ably also send land force Of some two three hun
dred thousand men through the interor-probabIv and
most probably, through Virginia and Tennessee. Let
MS not deceive ourselves If the Lincoln government
resolves to prosecute the war they can command men
and many of them, brave men. The south must make
up her mind to long, fierce and deadly struggle 1t

The following is the leading editorial article in the
Cincinnati Commercial of the 3Oth
For the first time the rebels loss as to where
they are to be struck The circulation of female snies
and traitorous northern newspapers being greatly cir
cumscubed and the disloya clerks in the various de-
partments of the government being closely watched
and the publication OF army movements being so far
restricted as to embarrlss the inqurers after truth and
the arrest OF spies and other agents Of the conspraors
in the north render more creumspection in their move
ments advisable southern brethren are really he
ginning to be plagued to know what we are about
More than all this, the Adams Express has STONED
carrying letters to the south and Geographic dispatches
not to be forwarded from Louisville any more while
increased vigilance is be exercised all along the Ohio
to prevent smuggling and stop the movements of con-
sprators This will really enibarrass our southern
brethren. They will not know where to look for the
blow The next they know, mighty feet with ten
thousand men aboard, will open of their cotton
ports and let streak of daylight into the beniebted
regions of the original secession. Yellow Jack Is not
guarding their coast this year. The New England skin
pes know the southern coast far better that the south
erner5 themselves know it. Things is WORKING The
reverses which the people of the north have met have
not changed the order of things or reversed the march
of empire.
This is followed up by another editorial paragraph as
follows:
There is reason to believe that the profound renose
which the southern coast, and the nests of the conspra
tors IN the cotton States have been permitted to enjoy
will hereafter be seriously disturbed Gen Buffers is
not the only that will be launched There is nothing
to prevent the embarkation of ten thousand men at
Baltimore any day, to strike blow somewhere on the
southern coast 1t would not surprise US to learn that

INTERESTING FROM ST. Lou1s.-Tbe Memphis Appeal,
OF the LIST inst, has the following extract from private
letter from St. Louis, of recent date
Gen. Fremont il moving heaven and earth. Troops
arc pouring into the city from all directions and the
calculation is that there will be from fifty to one hun
dred thousand troops here in ten days Fremont has
had fifty heavy guns sent here from Pttsburg at the cost
of five hundred dollars each for transportation and is
doing all things the same scale He is building
very extensive barracks back OF the fair grounds |

were at work on them You may rest assured that the
Union troops will fight us.

Last Sunday, negro tlan, disturbing the peace in

not until several persons had been drawn to the spot
soccumbed and was odgfd il Jail. Wehave on several
occasions called attention. to the almost unlimited scope
allowed negroes in midst and the necessity Of keep
ing strict eye them We consider it the duty of
all good citizens to see that our negroes kept within

The New Orleans Crescent of the fth instant saws
There was considerable talk and a little excitement
on the flags Yesterday. Though the gatherings were
not large at an early hour it talked of that the
lower coast packet boat, Empire Parish had arrived
bringing intelligence that the yankees had landed in
considerable numbers, say 500 or 500 men, at pass
aIOutre For what purpose it was not known unless
to surprise the musquitos. The telegraph station al
this point has been in possession Of the Hessins for
some weeks. If they feel disposed to land few thou
sands of their minons at this point it will only in
crease the number to accept Of few feet of ground
two by six Since the movement of Picavune Butler
and his pcayune hen roost robbers in landing on cane
Hateras inlet, there has been more or less inquiry
about dctences 1t is unnecessary to alude to the
exposed state Of the entire seacoast from Pensacola to
the Rio Grandc.
There has been much talk about the security of our
coast, because there few guns and only five hun
dFed troops on Ship Island. Pray, what will be the
position OF this island with feet and troops such as
appeared off Hatteras last Friday? The military
board of Mississippi rendered the service of YES
sci fully armed and equipped for the defence of the
Mississippi sound. The board declined to act in the
premises or rather refused the offer This board is
very little acquainted with the exposed state of the
seacoast from Pensacola to Pearl river We can in
form them that at Washington City can be found the
depth and soundlngs Of the entire Mississippi sound
There are good many things that we might talk of
for the benefit and good of the military board of Mis-
slSsppi, as well as officials nearer home Mas
nimporte. Picayune Butler is evidently preparing to
take his thanksgiving dinner in New Orleans He ex
poets to steal few hundred negroes along North Caro-

The New York Herald unblushingly informs Us Of the
material Of the enemy which we will have to contend
with this fall and winter 1t says its probably thought
down south that the storage of any large quantity
cotton at any one port might offer great an induce
ment to our ships Of war to enter and take possession
But if the rebels think that allowing it to remain on
the plantations will prevent taking possession Of it
when the proper time comes they are very much mis-.
taken It is quite immatcria to Us whether it i stored
on the plantation the water side Either will be
almost convenient

The MILrT1A-We perceive by our exchanges that
the militia IN several parishes have been organised and
returns made to the proper officer The Leut.-col of
the Lafourchc regiment, appears to understand bis
duty well, with the exception Of headlight general
order, instead Of "regimcntal order" This is an
error which most of our modern military, from compa-
ny officers upward, have faeninto The Lieut. COL com
handing, issued the following order
"A persons within the limits of the parish, subject
to militia duty shall cause themselves to be enrolled
and shall do militia duty, regardless of any organsa
ton or company under the name of Home guards to
which such persons thus subject to militia duty NAV
respectively belong"

The PROGRAMME OF THE CAMPAIGN DISCUSSED
There much speculation in military circles as to the
wisdom OF prosecuting the war by advance into Vir-
gina where the greater part of the armed forces Of
the rebels are concentrated 1t argued that an attac,
upon Charleston and New Orleans would be the wisest
course. 1t would Immediately disorganise the whole
rebel army make them abandon Virginia, Tennessee
and Missouri in hot haste to defend their own houses
ana leave the way open for the unmoested advance
our army here at Cairo to the borders of the original
seeding States and transfer the war from the border
into the heart of the country where the rebellion was
first begun The project is certainly worthy of serious
consideration. If efecually carried out it may serve
to crush out the rebellion and bring the south to its
senses more speedily than regular advances upon the en-
trenched camps and fortified cities of the enemy in the
border States n. Y Herald
