The Next great Battle.

The next great battle between the ar
mics OF the Potomac is no, lightly esti.
mated by the Northern press. The New
York Herald says Of it:
A terrible battle is at hand between
the 100000 troops on the banks Of the
Potomac in the vicinity Of Washington
100000 on either side-a battle which
will be greater than that Of Waterloo,
and will probable be decisive against the
party which loses it. The mighty results
depending on it Involve the destiny Of
the people Of this continent. and perhaps
Of modern civilization. II there should
be a partial defeat of the Federal army,
let the Abolition leaders who instigated
the rebellion and the war-Phillips, Gar
rison, Greeley, Beecher, Cheever, Tappan,
Jay and their associates out for
another country, as this will be too no. TO
hold them. II there should be a total
defeat Of the Federal army, together with
:he capture Of Washington, let the anti
slavery demagogues who, for the last thir'
ty years, have been stirring up the em
bers Of strife which resulted in the South.
ern revolt look out as fast as they can for
some asy lum beyond the limits Of the
American continent, for this is the only
way in which they can consult the safety
Of their imperiled necIs.

Objects Of Lincoln's Naval Expedition

Accounts from the North are very ex.
pIicit in their admission of the objects Of
the several expeditions OF mixed char.
acter, being fitted out for operations on
the Southern coast. One OF these OBJ.
jects is generally announced to be to seize
and reopen to the commerce Of the world
leading cotton port. !, ia rscommen
ded that, on the occupation Of such
port the commanding general OF the Lin.
coln force should invite ali 'loyal" citi.
zens Of the South to send their cotton
thither for shipment. Offering fifteen or
twenty cents a pound for cotton. and try.
ing, by all possible bribes, the attach
ment Of the planters to lhs Southern
cause.
This commercial adventure 10 strongly
urged by the New York papers in view
Of the great decline in their exports,
which are scarcely one third more than at
corresponding periods in 1861. The Lin.
coin Government must find an outlet for
the cotton. II does not occur TO these
theorists that even the occupation Of a
principal cotton port in the South would
not advance their scheme, and that the
| planting interest Of the South could nev.
er be seduced to further it, even if they
were, 10 the New York Herad says they
are suffering for the want Of the neces.
sites Of life"
The object Of the eneuy in seeking to
obtain possession OF Brunswick, on the
Georgia coast, would scarcely be 10 get
cotton even IL the people we're willing to
forward it. IL is, however, doubtless an
object Of the Lincoln Government, as far
as II can be ascertained BY the declars
tons OF the Northern papers. to have a
station on the Atlantic coast South of
Hampton Roads, at which their fleets
| could rendezvous, take in coal, or ref.
generally. Brunswick is situated about
| eighty miles South Of Savannah, aud de.
rives all its consequence from the posses
sioh OF c.pscious barbour, With sufi
cient depth OF water for almost any class
| OF vessels.
II is probable that there is much eKag.
gerstion in the Northern accounts when
they state that twenty FIVE thousand
troops are aboard feet destined for the
South. Such number Of troops. with
ammunition, camp equippage, artillery,
horses. dc, would require much larger
mesns OF transportation than the Lincoln
Government has yet been able to furnish.
There is no doubt, however, but that the
force would prove formidable enough, il

Starvation in the North.-The North

meptalties forbidden by lions King
The invasion OF Virginia by an armed
force in time Of peace by Brown, was a
violation Of the laws Of nations, and the
amity Of States. And as its design W as
the removal OF imaginary evils by phys,
cal force, We are not surprised these same
wiseacres on a former occasion attempted
to burn all the witches.
Aud sir, the history Of this people since
tue adoption of the Federal Constitution
is an unbroken series of ntrigues and un.
principled schemes for the acquisition of
wealth and power. Constitutional obi.
cations, fidelity to personal pledges, can
dor, justice, integrity, have no place in
their political vocabulary. The very mo.

a duty we owe TO ourselves, our families
and our country to pledge everything We
hold dear to maintain and perpetuate that
separation : frankly admit when the
Puritsns landed on Plymouth Rock and
commenced the settlement Of the N. K.
States, they brought with them much doc'
trinal truth and purity in the worship Of
God. They manifested commendable
zeal in originating and sustaining Mis-
sons among the N. A. Savages. But,
o, they have always cherished and ex,

grace is apparently withheld. For that
region once reputed as the seat Of orlho.

breastworks during the siege. Their oh
ject seemed to be to surround the fort
and cut off the supply Of water, and
having succeeded in this, they waited
until Col. Mulligan was compelled to
yield to foe more terrible than tue
$4,000 rebels who surrounded him.
After the surrender the rebels mounted
the breastworks and seemed mad with
JOY and delight. After the surrender the
rebels took down the Union nag and
traied il in the dust.
An immense amount Of gold, sup
posed to be about quarter Of million
Of dollars, fell into the possession of the
rebels. it was taken from the banks
and buried by Col. MuIligan in the camp
ground some time ago, but the rebels
speedily discovered and unearthed it.
Col. Mulligan wept like child when
be found himself compelled to surrender
The morning after, the men were all re-
leased on parole and sent across the
river. The officers were retained.
The frat attack of the rebels proved
more disastrous 10 them thar the long
siege that followed. For a day or two
previous to the last attack they were
busiiy engaged in burying their dead.
LATEST Gen. Price had, on Saturday,
l4th, given Col. (Acting GeneraD Null.
gan until Monday to surrender, or take
the alternative Of battle. The object oI
Gen. Price was not so much in giving
the Union troops a chance to surrender
AS to euable Gen. Rains and his rebel
forces, together with number Of smaller
bodies Of marauders under Martin Green
and others, all Of whom were marching
from various sources, to join him. Price,
force must, therefore. have been enlarged
TO about 1900. In the commencement Ut
Of the siege he had about 5000. The
Union force consisted certainly Of about
$500.
