work the ships, which are very likely TO [
play the most important part in the coming .
events. The ships of-war that accompany /
the expedition are where they can be |
brought into action, equal to a land force |
thrice rs great aS they can carry. The eS-
petition is under command of able and /
experienced officers, and is made up prin- |
cipally of regiments from New England or /
enlisted from the seaboard in the Middle |
States, and are selected with peculiar fit /
ness to the campaign to which they have
been assigned. 1t is unquestionably ad-
mirably provided in every particular, and |
great expectations are with good reason
INDUCED as to its success.
The destination of the expedition is. of |
course, kept q profound secret, and for that
reason, speculation as to the point to be
assaulted would be ill-timed, the more
probable the conjecture, the greater the
reason for not making it public. 1t is this
| ignorance OF its destination that renders it
so formidable, as any adequate provision
against it would require, on the part of the
rebels, Mt least 100000 men, as ten differ
ent points might with the same propriety
| be attacked From our standpoint one
could hardly decide whether Wilmington,
| n. c., Charleston. Savannah, Fernandina
! or New Orleans should be first assailed. In
| their inability to protect all the yulnera-
BILE points, the rebels have no. probably
done much to defend any. We believe
