An expedition is fitting out, md 10 partly on The
way, consisting Of cavalry infautry and artillery
from Cape Giardcsu and some other loeis for L.iis
Rock. Ark Il il highly probable that 1t Will ter
inmate in taking po.se sson not only oi the Capital
but o. all the north ysr, Of the State Since Coop
ers defeat by Gen. Blunt, the Rebeli have organ
j,.d army !.it except the defeated and broken oue
under Holmes, wl6, hanging around Helena, ia pre-
pairing himself for being totally flushed. Large re
enforce meDis, by last accounts, were reaching
Helena. par, Of the expedition above referred to
IL the Let Missouri Cavalry which marched from Pa
ducab Ky, seros, Illinois 10 Cape GiTardeau. On
passing through the town Of Jouo,boro they now hero
,aw a Union flag, when q snail one Was nailed Oh
one of the stores. When the regiment had g., "a
couule OF miles word came that the flag was torn
down and trnmpled upon 10y ore Of the merchants.
An OH or came back and de, AIRED that II within two

The town would DO burned The people hurried
around and got all the flags they could, aud also
rn.ed on toll pole the flag used in the last Presi-

has been ulaced under martial law. The other day
Mr. Allen wanted 10 ride out Of town, but could only
10 BY taking tie oath of allegiance lhs he refused
10 do. The probability IL that the town will be oc-
cupied by the military for long lime--Perhaps tiIl
after Congress siis and our Member VIII noi be able
20 attend Nothing Is more manifest than that such
"A Member should not, under these circumstances,
be permitted 10 siS 10 TITS body,
Boatz beginning 70 arrive from, and TO depart
for New Orleans more freely, but the reoIrctons on
trade greatly limits navigation. Ii If understood
that sec'y Chase will ia a lew days permit trade,
mostly free, with Memphis. Every description Of
goods are immensely high AZ all points below Coun-
bus aud when trade fairly shall open, there viii be
al astonishing demand for all Kinds OF gram. proys
ions, and merchandise particularly below Memphis.
Something should be said OF the restitution which
AT this time exists in the Cotton States. From
abundant sources we learn that families there are
actually starving; that th0usands OF rich iolks 81
called have seen no wheat bread for more than Il
year while corn In majority OF places Is very
scarce IL is important to consider that the Rebel
armies do not now hold Ia siugle district OF any cx-
tent which IL good for raising gram, excep, sacked
and re-sacked Virginia. Our armies hold them all.
This fac, alone must chow that tie lat days oil the
Rebellion are near.
