There is great excitement in the city, as

Official dispatches have been received

positive information that Longstreet'sco corps
had reinforced Bragg before the battle Of

The battle of Sunday is not admitted by
Rosecrans as defeat by any means. Gen

repulsed every attack of the enemy. He
was in the thickest of the fight throughout
the day, and is spoken of in the official des

Failure Of FrankIin's EXpe,
ditiOus

Correspondence of the New York Herald
HEADa'Rs, GEN. WE1TzEL's DIVISION, J
18th ARMY CORPS, STEAMER BELvr :
DERN, MISSISSIPPI RIVER, Sept. II, '63
The expedition of the 18th Army Corps
Major General franklin G .mmanding, which
left New Orleans on the 4th instant, has re
turned, without accomplishing the objec,
for which it was dispatched All the pre-
liminary arrangements were made in the
most expeditions and secret manner, and
the promise of success was most fattering
up to the very last moment, when comb
ton of those unfortunate accidents which
no humsu foresight or determination can
prevent or overcome, turned victory into
defeat, and rendered nugatory all the efforts
of the gallant officers and men composing
the expedition, compelling them to relin
ouish for the present the attempt, and re.
turn to the base of operations at this
place.
OBJECT OF THE EXPEDITION.
The aim of the expedition was the occu-
patton of Sabine City, situated on the right
bank at the mouth of the Sabine river, the
dividing line of Louisiana and Texas, a
point of great strategic Importance as a
base of operations against either Western
Louisiana or Eastern and Central Texas.
The city is only forty to forty-hve miles
from Galveston by land, and about sixty
miles by sea; from Houston, the capital of
Texas, 1t is distant about sixty miles, and
is connected with it by branch railroad
from Beaumont. This railroad is not in op.
Grafton at present, portion of the track
having been torn up. The distance from
the mouth of the Mississippi is two hun
dred and eighty miles.
The accident" which caused the return
of the expedition, was the unexpected pow
er of the rebel Notifications at Sabine Pass.
The guuboats were worsted in ondeavoring
to force a passage, and the expeditionary
army had no alternative but to return and
try some other opening. The failure of the
expedition will not be regretted if it results
in diverting the troops to more vital field
of operations.

but will be escorted to France by an English
