When will the Army Advance :

When will the Army Advance =:
The Impotence Of the people because Of
the delay Of the army to make any important
movement is very great, and is increasing
daily. General anxiety is felt to see an ad-
vance from Washington in the direction Of
Richmond. The most reliable authorities,
however, concur in stating that an advance
by way of Manassas would cause an immense
sacrifice Of life To take the batteries at that
point will cost from 5000 to 10000 lives
Gen. Mcclellan is right in declining so great
risk. His policy is thought to be to wait
for Burnside's expedition to flank the rebels
by way Of York river. In tbs way only can
our troops expect to march southwark with.
out serious opposition.
Burnsids's expedition, it Was hoped, would
be at its destination ere this time. Several
matters have caused its delay, and among
them the fact Of its plans being divulged to
the enemy.
1t is evident from various indications thai
. decisive movement will soon be made on
the Potomac. 1t will certainly be hailed
with satisfaction by the people; and, what
ever the result, cannot be more disastrous to
the Union cause than inactioa and caussless
