military and naval service performed In the pre-
sent war 10 perhaps more important or less appre-
ciated than that rendered by our ploekadinps
squadrons. The value Of this service Is clearly
seeu only on the occasion of the capture Of poune
steamer on the Southern coast richly laden with
supplies and munitions Of war for the use Of the
insurgents. But who shall estimate the number
Of such contraband enterprises which our fleets
have deferred BY their vigilance from even risk

tidings from, New York, New Jersey and
other States whose elections last week,
have resulted in an emphatic triumph of

and more interesting than any thing we

Expedition Against Vicksburg

ST LoI1S. Nov. 4.-The expedition
fitting out at Cairo for the capture of
Nicksburg, will be ready, it Is stated in Il
couple of weeks, and such measures have
been taken by Commodore Porter. who Is
TO conduct the enterprise, rs will insure
its success. The expedition will be sup
ported by a considerable and efficient
land force, something that was lacking
last summer, and which. with the extreme
sickness of the soldiers and sailors in that
then very unhealthy latitude was the cause
of the failure to take the city at that time.
Com. Porter Is sanguine of success with
his present expedition, and it Is to be
hoped his an:icipations will be realized.
as the rebels have been permitted TO hold
that last position on the Mississippi far
too long.
Nicksburg has been greatly strengthened
during the past three months, and
Is now protected, it Is stated, bv
eighteen or twenty batteries. mounting
one hundred and fifty guns, of large
calibre, extending some miles above and
below the city, and designed TO prevent
the approach of our gunboats within dam
gerous distance. if resolute at
tack were made simultaneously by
land and water. there Is no reason to
doubt but that Nicksburg will fall. and
the navigation Of the great river be opened
from Cairo 20 the Balizc.

Gen. lSuelrs Farewell to his

Headquarters ARMY OF THE Omo,1

GENERAL ORDERS No. I5O.-In obc-
dience TO orders from the headquarters of
the army, Major General Buell. relinquish-
60 the command of the district and army
of the Ohio to Major General W. ;.
Rosecrans
1t Is impossible for the general, without
feeling of regard and warm interest IN
their future success, TO part with troops
whom he has been the instrument OF con
vertin@, for the most part. from raw
leyies into a powerful army, honored by
common consent. for its discipline and
efficient organization, for lis esprit dec0IYS,
nd for victories unqualified by a single
reverse. and whose fortunes he has fol-
lowed for a twelve month, over field of
four States, through difficulties and dam
gers which its fortitude and courage have
mastered without accident or failure
1t has, recently, by rapid march of
five hundred miles with limited subsiS-
tence, often with an inadequate supply of
water, returned to Kentucky and driven
from her borders powerful army, and
having re-established It's communications,
Is now well on It's way to meet the enemy
at other points. The occasion Is not con-
yenient for recounting It's service during
| the past twelve months. but the army
NAV well recur 10 them with pride. II
| anything has not been accomplished which
was practically within the sphere of It's
duty, the General cheerfully holds HIM
self responsible for the failure. the Gen
erll reflects with pride that the army
under his command has, for the most
part, been free from petty jealousies and
intrigue. that it has neither INDUCED in
vain boastings nor tarnishcd its high char
acter by chickering's and low ordinations.
1t will enhance his qualification, if it will
carry TO It's new commander. who has
already earned its confidence and respect
by distinguished services, the same noble
qualities which have characterized il
