day Of January last, the two great politl-
cal parties Of the State fused into one
grand party Of Parioa-uuited for the
purpose Of preserving our rights and lib
critics and our homes Every man has
been compelled to attach himself to this
grand party or bear the odium Of disloy-

EXPEDITION FOR THE SouTH.-We find
the following paragraph copied from the
New York papers which have been re-
coiyed by our contemporaries in the Sou
thern cities
A naval expedition will sail from New
York within the coming two weeks which
will no doubt have a most important bear
ing upon the present war. It will COM
prise large fleet of gunboats and trans.
ports. and force of probably 20 900 men,
including some which will be taken from
Fortress Monroe. The destination is OF
course, secret all statements to the
country Notwithstanding, but we can
assure our readers that if successful, Of
which there is no little doubt, it will be
the most terrible and effective blow yet
dealt at the rebels

they accomplish their boast The Pcowue
says ample preparations are being made
for the defence Of New Orleans, and we
see it stated that one hundred pieces Of
heavy artillery, in addition to what they
had before, has been sent to them from
Richmond. New Orleans is place which
military men consider easy Of defense il
die proper means are on hand, and it is
scarcely to he expected that these will be
allowed to be lacking, Mobile is perhaps
n more danger. If they can batter down
Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines, there is
nothing to prevent their coming up and
ehclliuetbe city. Wodonot know wheth-
cr these Forts are provided with such
ordnance as would enable them to keep
L'ncoln's vessels at distance with their
powerful urm1ments Of large range guns.
IL is to lie hoped that they are. We
notice that Brigadier General Withers, of
tho Confederate service, has arrived in the
city to supervise and direct its defenses
ondro doubt every thing that can be done
win be to insure its safely. Having en-
tire command OF the sea- with the ability

own choosing gives the Iincolnitcs very
great adyautoro-on which we can coun-

/ ing their territory and compelling their
attention to their own defense instead Of
invading the South.

TRooPs FOR MissoURI.-The President
has authorized Gen. Ben. Mccullough, to
strengthen his column inMissouri by yolun-
tcers to any extent he may think proper.
He has accordingly issued his procIama-
ton calling for five regiments each from
Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana, making
in all fifteen thousand men. That these
TROOPS will promptly flock to his stan
dard there can be no doubt. They, adj
ded to those already under his command
will make most formidable army. Ere

LINcoLy SIZES Is NEW ORLrAYs-The
New Orleans Picayune has an account OF
the arrest of three steamboat pilots in
that city. D. Walker, n, Casper and
- Rodenbaum, who were taken into
custody on the information furnished by
the following intercepted letter addressed
to Walker
CqR. a. D.aEIggllIE, .Iulla 3Q1 lSq j re.
ceved your second letter the other day,
and was happy to hear from you. You
say that the rebels suspected you, and
tried to get up report that you was a
Union man-but convinced them you
were sound on the Southern goose. The
river is so low that we cannot make much
headway, | am in hopes that we will
have a rise in day or so, that will let Us
out of Cairo | saw Capt. \. McLelland
the other day he is Just up from New
Orleans he says that business is fiat ;
there is nothing doing, and the Union
feeling is stronger than anybody could
suppose. His opinion is that it would not
take a very large army to capture the
city, as most OF the citizens are in favor
vt the Union. leXpect to have charge Of
one Of the gunboat5 and want YOU to
keep me posted about things, Give all
the information about Red and Ouachta
rivers, and how much cotton there is from
Alexandria to the mouth and how much
will be made ON Black and Ouaohta
rivers, for it will be our aim to take all
the cotton on these rivers and send it up
the Ohio. | want you to find out how
many pilots we can count on in Red river
and send me the names. You have sent
me two besides yourself Tor Ouachta--
Casper and Rodenbaum. Tell them they
will have a share in all the prizes thatare
taken. Tell X. to write to me. All the
pilots that 90 with us will make money
enough without going on the rivers again
! will let you know in time to meet me at
Memphis. Ii will be a glorious thing to
clear the traitors out, and show them
lesson for robbing minis and custom
houses, and stealing steamboats,. You
must send your letters by private hands
to Cairo. Do not trust the mails | will
send this to Memphis by private hands
and have it mailed there.
My respects to Mrs w,
(Sigend,) Yours,
JOHN SEBASTIAN.
Walker and Casper have sued out writs
Of babeas corpus and will make a struggle /
for their escape, notwithstanding tho
