What was Expected.

TIE Yankees have given up the " recon nosance"
dodge. and now confess that the assault Charles
ton attack, and resulted in disastrous failure
The New ork Herald says that the repulse, "though
almost booaess in its results may be classed among
most discouragipg military disasters The Bati.
more American denounces it a shameful abandon
ment OF the siege"
On the morning of Monday, 9th, everything was
ready for the movement The Captains of the vessels
had been already furnished with the plan of attack and
order OF battle, as follows
The bar will be buoyed by the keokuk, Commander
Rhind assisted by G. O. Boutelle, Assistant United
States Coast Survey, commanding the Bib by Act
ing Ensign Plat aud the Pilot Of the squadron. The
commanding officers, will, previous to crossing, make
themselves acquainted with the value Of the buoys.
The vessels will, signals being made, form in the
prescrib order ahead, at intervals of cables
length.
The squadron will pass up the main ship channel
without returning the fire of the batteries on Morris
Island, unless signal should be made to commence
action.
The ships will open fire On Fort Sumter when within
easy range, and will take up position to the North
waid a0d Westward of that ratification, engaging its
lett Northeast face at distance of from thou
sand to eight hundred yards irog slow and aiming at
the centre embrasures.
The commanding officers will instruct their officers
and to carefully avoid wasting shot, and will en-
join upon them the necessity of precision rather than
rapidity OF fire.
Each ship will be prepared to render every assistance
possible to vessels that may reaureit it.
The special code of signals prepared for the clad
vessels will be used in action.
differ the reduction Of Fo,t Sumter, it Is probable
the next point of attack will be the batteries on Nor
rls' Island.
And will be in readiness to support the ron-cads
when they attack the batteries on Morris'sIslaud.

Advance of the Enemy In Faa@mler.

We learn that the enemy have entered Faaquier
county in heavy force large infantry camp has been
termed at Catlett's Station little beyond
Warrenton Junction reports say thirty thousand
strong, though this doubtless exaggeration.-
These troops said to have come from Washington
city A large cavalry force s camptd on the farm Of
DIR. Encs Herd, few miles from Warrenton Springs
Our own cavalry have retired before the enemy and
have evacuated the county of Fauquier We regret to
learn that two members of the Black Horse company,
which has been scouting in the county for some time
were killed, and others captured in skrmishes with the
enemy's advance.
William Lee of Fauquier, and soldier from Prince
William, were slain. John Robinson, of Alexandra,
was wounded, bat not severely Lieut.. A. D. Payne,
Sergt. Marshall James, r. w. bowman, and some
others captured A number of citizens about Or
lean have also been carried off, horses stolen, &c.
This movement of the enemy, is of course,
operation with Hooker, and probably indicates ofsn
sive demonstrations on his part at an early day
Meantime the renforcements and proec
ton to his right flank. We learn that the railroad
bridge Cedar Run Catletts Station is being
rebuilt, thus extending the enemys transportation still
further. in this direction.

A YANKEE ESTIMATE OF GEN. BEAUREG ARD The
n Y. World, in speaking of the fight at Charleston,
makes the following allusion to Gen. Beauregard
One result of this Charleston f ght will be to restore
Beauregard to the favor the Southern people True,
he is boastul egotiscal, untruhful and wanting in
TACT but ka is certainly the most marvellous engineer
of modern times By bis genius AID professional skill
he has erected batteries in Charleston harbor that would
sink all the wooden fleets of the world, did they come
under fire. and be has succeeded moreover in driving
back in disgrace the most impenetrabe ronclad feet
aAoat. There is no denying what this man has done
uapaatsbe though it may be to the Northern people

TIE CHURCH Burning IN FLoR1DA-A ScENE,-A
letter from Jack sonville, Fla gives account of the
which followed the barbarous burning of the
Catholic Church there by the 9Th Maine regiment,
fresh from the land OF convent Darung mobs and Hiss
nsuisiton committees. 1t avs:
The two Irish companies having been sent out Of the
way plrpose the Maine regiment marched up to the
Church, and, after Cutting TIER beasty minds by de-
sacratiDg the house Of God, cutting and deacng the
sacred symbols of religion set fire to the building, de-
stroying everything The cergymans dwelling shared
the same fate. Nought was respected, nothing saved
The of these ohrages having reached the Irish
companies they rushed to the of wanton destruc
ton, but too late to Many actually wept be,
OF their inability TO do any good. Then, filed
with hate at the doors of this mischief and unmndIul
of the disparity of numbers they turned upon the Down
Casters when fierce street ight ensued, which could
only be queed by the ordering cut of the entire Van
kee force whose united Efforts were necessary to dis
arm the two companies.
The Irishmen were carried on board the gunboats in
irons, still defiant, aud swearing yet to wreak am
pie vengeance upon the slabsded sons of Maine. An
Irish officer assured me he and his amply
punished fer fraternzng and lighting with such dast-
ards these Yankees and athoug now in minority,
they would yet aud where other Irish troops would
hear their story, and the fight would be renewed until
satisiac ion was had.

What Now

What Now
desperate and successful venture has been made by
the Yankee feet to pass below the batteries at Vicks
burg ard Warrington. There have passed down sOme
dozen boats in ell, of which have been rendered
useless by our guns and others have been royed by
fire caused by exploding she'll Bat the foe has pref
ty respectable gun feet south of Vcksburg and be
seems now determined by means 10 assemble also
land force the lower river. Does be mean to at
tempt to overwheim Port Hudson Is it true that
the monitors baked of their prey at Charleston to
be sent round to Port Hudson Gan they capture that
stronghold If not, they re-ascend the river
and pass four fortified positions If these n,clads
all assemble in the lower Mississippi, can they again
safel pass the waters of the Gulf? What if that farof
China feet bar their passage to the sea
But, Port Hudson We cannot afford to lose that
position. To hold the river, and the valley, must
hold Port Hudson and Vicksburg It's possession must
be determined within comparatively short time. The
Yankees cannot afford to delay. The SICILY season ap
proaches The assaults on Vicksburg and on Charles
ton, and on Richmond, have proved failures The
Northern public must be appeased, it will demand
sacrifice. The coming West of Adjutant-General
Thomas, means something. Great activity has pre-
vailed in the Federal army since his arrival. The gun
boats have dashed down the river Troops moving
plans are being marked out. The foe is in earnest
and something must be prevented, on our part If al
this be fem to enable Grant the securely tc
combine his forces with those Of Rosecranz it is being
conducted with more than common ability Our com
manders the alert and will be prepared for TIT
blow at any point-at all points.
That battles-great and telling conflicts, will occu
soon we can hardly doubt. We cannot afford to suite
defeat. Every reverse to arms will proong til
war. Every victory will hasten peace.
