Gen. Banks-The New Expedition.
The expedition which is soon TO sail under
command of Major Gen. Banks is gathering
at New York on large and imposing scale.
The fact that such a movement was on foot
was made public some weeks ago by persons
very near the government and may not have
been designed to be kept secret. In addition
to the regiments already announced, it is
stated this morning that five Connecticut reg
iments will soon be added to his force. The
destination of the expedition is suppo ed to be
Galveston Bay. Whether the suppositon is
correct or not, there can be no harm in the
inference that it is to operate upon some of
the cotton producing states.
The time-two or three weeks, or month
hence-wil be suspicious for the landing Of
force in the far southern latitude, and it is
understood that both this and Gen. Hunters
expedition will not be fastened within that
period. There are pleasant recollectens of
the success of the three great expeditions
which were fitted out and sent on their way
about year ago. The Sherman expedition,
resulting in securing permanent foothold in
South Carolina; the Burnside expedition,
whose successes have been the most gratify-
ing of the war; the Ship Island expedition,
under Com. Farragut and Gen. Butler, which
secured to us New Orleans and the nearly
complete control OF the waters of the gulf,
have set an example which we believe Gen.
Banks will not be slow to emulate.
There are very few officers in the service
who stand fairer before the country at this
time than Gen. Banks. From the day he re-
ceived his commission he has endeavored
with faithful and honest effort to become mas
ter of every situation in which he has been
placed Sometime last year, while General
Banks command was on the Upper Potomac,
watching the enemy, but engaging in no bril-
liant enterprises, we remember that young
officer Of our acquaintance under him eX-
pressed regret that his duty kept him in a
command which he feared would not be al
lowed to engage in any great battles, to share
at once in the danger and the coveted honors
of victory. Since that time Gen. Banks and
his men have had their full share of rough
service, and it is the universal testimony that
they have always borne themselves as brave
men and good soldiers should. There has
been no humbug in his military career; and
he may well cherish the reputation and conf
dence he has Justly earned.

DEATH OF THE MORRILL, HoRsE.-All
lovers of good stock horses will regret to learn
the death of the Old Morrill, horse. He died
Mt his owners stable, (Mr. French Morrill,, J
in this village on Thursday night of last week.
He was sick but few hours, the disease be-
ing the inflammation of the kidneys, of a most
violent type. His age was eighteen years.
Mr.. Morrill, bought this horse when he was
but four years old, of Mr.. Urbin Perkins of
Walden, paying but nominal price, as his
excellent qualities were not then known. His
owner had not kept him long, however, before
his great muscular power, endurance, and
stock qualities began to develop themselves.
His great speed also, gradually became appa-
rent, and although Mr.. NJ never thoroughly
trained him for the turf, yet by the time he
was eight years old, there was no horse in this
whole section Of country that could at all com
pare with him for speed.
AT several agricultural fairs and trotting
matches both in and out of the state, he took
the highest premium. His fastest time was
2.32, at Dcdham, Mass. and at the two ma
tional fairs, held at Springfield, Mass, he re-
ceived the highest honors, such as diplomas,

WORCESTER, Nov. u, 1862.
The committee charged with the arrange
ments of the programme of lectures before
the lyceum, announced Mr. Everett as en-
gagged for Nov. goth. The arrangement with
Mr.. Everett was made by myself and it was
with great regret that | received, few days
since, letter from his secretary, from which
| make the following exact: 81 am requested
by Mr.. Everett to inform you that he has
been suffering for two weeks from severe at
tack of illness, by which he is still confined.
He was for some time in hopes that he should
recover his health sufficiently to enable him
to keep his numerous engagements to speak,
with perhaps some postpOnement of the earli-
est. He now finds his convalescence so slow
as to leave no hope in the opinion of his ply
stefan that he Will be able to do so. If, at a
later perio in the season his health should
permit, he will be happy to fulfil his engage
ment where it may still be desired"
To this letter l have replied, stating that
through our regular evenings of the course
are all filled, still we shall expect Mr.. Everett
to fulfil his engagement here at some time
during the winter, when convenient to all par
ties; for many persons who have purchased
our season tickets may have been influenced
to do 50 by his name. SO that as the matter
now stands, we shall give the purchasers of
our season tickets an extra lecture. if Mr.. Ev-
eretts health will permit.
We ora hopp,, 20 h. Ill
