We publish below an order issued by
General Hunter, about the Goth of Jan
uary, which it is said has occasioned
considerable sensation, both in civil and
military circles. II is an evident hit at
Gen. Lane, and plainly shows that he,
Hunter does not relish the manner in
which Congress has lionized Lane, ana
that he intends not to have his toes
tread upon in the least. Oh, yes, gentle
men it is vastly more important for the
most of you to bubble about ycur in
suited and sighted honors, than it is TO
disregard these minor things and unite
your wisdom tact and energy to save
the country.
''In the expedition to 60 South from
the Department, called in the newspa-
pers "General Lanes Expo ,lition," it is
the intention ofthe Major General com
handing the Department to command
in person, unless otherwise ordered by
The Government.
Transportation not having been sup
piled, we must 60 without it. All tents,
trunks, chests, chairs, camp tables,
camp stools, &C., must be at once stored
or abandoned.
'Thc General commanding takes in
valisc but one change Of clothing, and
no officer or soldier will carry more
The surplus room in the knapsacks
must be deserved for ammunition and
provisions. Every officer and soldier,
will carry his own clothing and bedding.
"Thc General Commanding has APP
piled to the Government for six Briga-
Glier Generals. that his command may
lie properly organized. Until their ar
rival, it is necessary that he should ap

ruE PRESENT EXPEDITION

Yesterday morning, Jan. 25, about
! o'clock, 3.5 soldiers IF the Iowa 10th,
under command of 1t. Col. SMALL, ac-
companied by Adjuant +. W. Jackson
and Surgeon VIM. p. Davis, left Birds
Point, via Cairo and Fulton r. X. to
join the main Expedition under Brig.
Gen, Paine, which left Birds Point the
day previous. Arriving at Charleston
about II \. NJ. we found the rest Of
the troops quietly encamped there. At
ter the impromp'n prayer meeting, an
account Of which is published i'll anoth-
er column Brig. Gen. Paine, acccmpa-
MED by cavalry body guard, started
for Bertrand to join the man forces,
leaving the detachment of the Iowa
10th. under Tt. Col. Small 10 guard
Charleston. During the nj CHIT all in
gress and egrcss to and from tn, town
except on special pass, have been pro-
hihi,ed.
This morning we have heard from
the advance troops, who encampcd at
Bertrand last evening. Gen Paine has
sent to Birds Point for 5000 additional
rations, 10oo of which are to sbc left
with us, plainly indicating a tarry here
Of several days.
The object Of this present Exp, dition
is undoubtedly to make prisoners Of al

To the citizens Of Charleston we nave
a word to say: Whatever your rast
course has been, one thing is certain,
that II in the future you either direct

LATER FROM EUROPE.

CAPE RACE, Oct. 4-Steamship Jura from
Liverpool 25th, via Londonderry Zoth ult''
was boarded by the news yacht at y A. M. to-
day. IIcr advices are one day later thah those
hv the City of Washington
The news of McClellans victory over Lee
was received with much satisfaction by the
federal party in Liverpool, and gave an impe-
fms to the cotton market, which was checked
Inv large arrivals of Surats.
The Times of September 25th, in an edito-
rial saws, after the recent events it did not yet
see Garibaldi crossing the Atlantic in the as
sumed character of an American citizen, and
fighting for the subjugation OF a nation strug-
Cling to be free. The Morning Post remarks
that to be consistent, Garibaldi ahould go to
the other side, where nine millions are fight
ing for the right of governing themselves.
The Post endeavors to prove Gen Pope's in
competency, from his reports.
The journal de Pouen shows that the de-
preston in the cotton trade had exercised a
very beneficial influence in French wooden
manufacturers.
There was nothing new relative to the
health of Garibald. A large Garibaldan
meeting had been held at the Stockholm Ex-
change, at which an address was enthusiastic
cally adopted, expressing sympathy for Carl
baldi and urging the speedy evacuation of
Rome by the French. A mass meeting of the
laboring classes of London will be held in
Hyde Park on Sunday, the 29th of Septem-
Der, to give similar expression Of feeling.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct. 4.-Last evening
rumors were atioat of heavy artillery firing in
the direction OF Sarcoxie. To-day these ru-
mors increased, and by noon word was re-
ceived that a fight had taken place at Sar-
coke. The number of the enemys force is
unknown and we have not learned the result
of the fight.
A refugee from Gen. McBride's command,
came in to-day. From him we learn that
nearly every able bodied man in the northern
portion of Arkansas is either a conScript or
refugee. The treatment of those living in
northern Arkansas, is represented as most
cruel. Their homes are robbed by armed
bands Of plunderers, who seize all the men
and all property that can be of any possible
use to their army, leaving the women and
children to starve for want of the necessaries
of life
Advices from SarcoXi, dated Sept. %, say
that two brigades of the Kansas army had ar
rived there. The guerrilla Coffee, with 800
men, was at Newtonia, fifteen miles south of
that place, when Col. Solomon's advance
guard arrived but rebel major who was
there on visit made his escape, and gave
Coffee notice of our approach, when he re-
treated south.
The rebels at Sarcoxi say they have 10000
men at Cowskin Prairie, and that Gen. Hind
man, with 10000 men, is in Arkansas, near
the Missouri state line, and that as soon as
they join forces they will march directly on
st. Louis. All the prisoners taken tell of the
rich booty the rebels are promised when they
take st. Louis. 1t appears that such promises
are the great incentive used by the rebel gen
erals to keep their men together.

Governor Andrew.

New YORK, Oct. 4.-Gov. Andrew arrived
to-day, and left for Washington this afternoon.
His visit to the capital is for the express pur-
pose of endeavoring to bring about the dis
charge of permanently invaded soldiers from
government hospitals in order that they may
return,to their homes and friends, instead of
wasting away under medical treatment.
In the same connection, the governor will
urge upon government the advantages of
sending to their different states the sick and
wounded now lying in hospitals in this vicini-
ty, as well as the large number in and around
Washington, Annapolis, Alexandria, Philadel-
phia, and Newark. The late experience of
DIR. Bowditch with ambulance drivers, to-
gether with other evidence on the same sub
ject, will also be brought to the notice of the
proper department.
This mission of Gov. Andrew in behalf of
the sick, wounded, and invalided soldiers of
Massachusetts will undoubtedly be fraught
with results of the most gratifying character
to the thousands of relatives in the old Bay
State, whose grief on this score has lately
found vent in thousands of letters to him de-
failing many hardships, which his present visit
to Washington it is hoped will obviate for the
future.
