tLe more recent EXPEDITIONS to Currituck River

decentralization which the Navy took in hand. OF

not be long left in doubt TO intentions, for The
en,barlation Of troops for the grand move OF the
eampa.sn commenced at 10 O'Clock this morning and
the bow vii; DO doubt be struck by the time this
letter reaches yOn. Despite tie careful preparations
which have been made for our reception, the eonwe-
tion ia entertained here that The enemy has no stom
Och for fight. The imyres nent of all able.bodied
men has been goiug 90 throughout North Carolina,
spacally in the seaside colnes for the past two or
three months aud since tie capture of ts leland has
been pushed with great vigor. II Is cary TO believe

families end farruy serve without zeal, and are ready
20 lev down their arms wien fortune turns against

regiments becoming more perfect IN drill every

sane spirit of cheerfulness and confidence noticed ia

neers say that the slightly wounded in hospital
make light of their wounds in tie hope that they nay
