| However crushing may have been the
1 blow that New Bedford received to-day
without knowing IT, the worst Is 20 come
! tomorrow when all or the invading army
/ from New York, Connecticut, and the
District OF Columbia will disembark al
/ Fair Haven, across the river from New
! Bedford. and deploy IN solid front fifteen
miles long through tho country back OF
/ Buzzards Bay Head.
| The blue army gathered under the lead
! ership OF Gen. William A. PeW.~and COM
prising the entire Massachusetts volun-
/ teer militia, viii be stretched IN oppOsi-
| ton across the path Of the invaders
\ twenty miles, the line covering a twenty
/ three-mlle front. The New York in
vaders accompanied by the Essex troop

Gen. Taslzer II. Bliss. Of the General
star Of the regular army at Washington,
will rush its baggage off the transports
aand onto the long mule train in waiting
over ct the nail factory at Fair Haven.
/ Then swiftly the three brigades, the cav
airy sQuadrons, and the sixteen field guns
OF the invaders win swing through the
country and take up position for an ad-
vance on Sunday.
The left flank Of the invaders win rest
on Westport Mills. over near Fall River.
and the right flank viii be on the little
village Of Marion. An attack by the de-
/ Tending Blues viii certainly fail to-mor-
row. for II would be discourteous 70
