The DANGER 60 Now OrIenus.

The New Orleans Delta of January 30 ex.
presses much anxiety relative TO the Missis
sippi gun-boat expedition. The Dslid asks
that 5000 men be sent from New Oreads to
Columbus. The appointment Of General
Beauregard, the enemy's best engineer, to
command at Columbus, is an sdditionalindi.
cation of the peril now felt to menace the
Confederacy in the West and on the Gulf.
After declaring its belief that New Orleans
is sufficiently fortified against an attack by
sea, the Della says:
But what is the fact in regard to the route
down the river from Columbus? Should Co.
luubus fall, what is to prevent the enemy
from sweeping down the river with the
immense fleet of gun boats and floating
batteries which he has been 30 long pre-
pairing at st. Louis and Cairo, and with n
hundred thousand men under Gen. Halleck.
to attack us on one side, while an expedi-
tioD, striking up from the sea, would attack
US on the other? Who can answer Do
eflectual defenses answer Do preparations
for defense in rapid progress answer? Where
are the defenses? Who is engaged in the
p1eparations2 These questions admit of no
satisfactory answer.
Our dependence at present for the safety
of the city from the approach of formidable
expedition down the river, is upon Column
bus. That is the northern key to the Missis
sissippi delta. That in possession of the en-. .
emy, the fiood9Ates of invsion will be opened.
Our situation would not be hopeless, for the
soul of Southern men, fighting war of in
dependerc ce, must not dream of despair, but
we would be confronted with terrible danger
and the whole country exposed to fearful
evils. On one condition only can we realize
full assurance that such dangers will not
occur, and that such evils will never impend.

One advantage growing out of the refusal
of the Legislature to pay the Columbus
that we now get brief and satisfactory
summary of the proceedings in the papers,
and are saved the necessity of wading
through interminable columns of uninterest-
ing details, to fud few important items.
The change is delightful, and we hope it
will result in the pecuniary advantage of
Columbus daiies. The Fact, we believe, is
the only city paper that consents to publish
the official reports free gratis for nOthing.
At the close Of the session, the Legislature
will pay it off with vote of thanks

Secretary of War, Judge Kelly, and the

Early in the day he received that ugly rifle
