FROM TIE UNITED STATES.

The New York World of the 2sth March, expresses
serious doubts the result Of the army movements
now under way, In editorial reviewing the situation
OIL the Mississippi it says:
In the first place. il very clear that the Yazoo Pass
expedition, from which much was expected has dis
gracefully miscarred will be seen by The accounts
give elsewhere. battery with one gun delayed the
feet whole day, which gave the Confedeates time 70
place distractions in the river that in all probability, are
by this time impossible At last accounts the eIpedti
was waiting for a in the water as to drown The
rebels out OF Fort Pemberton This was to be accom'
pshedby cutting away several miles OF leVees on the
ssssppi river Large rentorcsmsnts we're also Ia ten
ing TO the scene OF action from botn the Union snd
rebel armies and it is not impossible that battle of
little moment may be fought amid the sHsmps of
the Tallahatchie.
The Lala Providence canal, which it was said to
change the bed of the Mississippi and turn ts mighty
current in the Atchafaaya river Oh It's way to Il CUT
of Mexico is also failure. The canal has been opened
and enormous extent country su6mergedsnd ruined
but it ia settled that gunboats transports can ever
reach the Mississippi below Vcksburg by that route
Snags aud drift choke up the tortuoTs streams formed
by the food from the cut levees and even were nsvi
CATION possible the channel could be rendered impas:
sable in hundred places by score Of active gueT-
rillas.
With regard to the expedition to the Yszoo by means
of Steeles bayou and the Suufower river it must be
remembered that nothing is absolutely known with re-
transpor had started upon the venture. 1t may or
may not sueceed-the chances against but even
granting the expedition caches the Yszoo, does not
follow that it can csRture Hanes Bluff or even take
YaEoo City. 1t will Not do to be eternaly discountng
in advance victories that may not be won.
The famous cutoff at Young 4. Point is, We hear,
success Boats Of large size Low pass through and
t NAV be that by this time ten or fifteen thousand men
Are on the way attack Port Hudson from the north
Combined with Gen Banks and naval attack, that
strong place could hold out over few days against
the un.ed forces and if this plan is pursued, We may
reasonably hope for fruitful victory.
Notwithstanding the positive statements of the War
Department that Admiral Farrsgu with his whole feet,
had passed Port Hudsou and the sensation dispatches
of the Western press the effect it is almost Ger.
tain that the Hartford alone got through and that the
rest of the Union feet still below the Port Hudson
batteries. The Monongahela, a small gunbost, may
have got through with the Hartford but this is doubtful
On the Mississippi therefore, it Is clear we a. yet have
no success Of any account to boast Of The attack on
Port Hudson was failure the passage Of the batteries
partial failure; the Lake Providence canal failure
the Yazoo Pas. expedition is failure aud very oad
one at that We are yet hsF Of what comes Of the
