What we May Expect.
A correspondent of the Mobile Register &
Advertiser, at Pensacola, gives the following
as probably the Federal programme for the
prosecution of the war :
After the great reverse which the Lincoln
ites have met with at Manassas, we must not
supppose that they will be paralyzed
ered inactive. That reverse will, no doubt,
arouse them to a greater exertion. Let the
South, then, be vigilant.
I think—(let the opinion go for what it is
worth) —that Scott will attack us in several
ways. He will probably attack by fleet, con
taining land forces, Wilmington, N. C., Savan
nah, Ga., St. Augustine and Pensacola, Fla.,
Mobile, Alabama, Galveston, Texas, and New
Orleans, Louisiana, simultaneously- making his
great attack on New Orleans. He will hard
ly attempt to force Charleston, having some
experience as to the force and deadliness of
its batteries. He will doubtless, attack what
be considers our weakest, and, at the same
time, most important and most assailable
points; such as Mobile and New Orleans.—
At the same time, he will send a fleet of steam
boats down the Mississippi. He will proba
bly, also send a land force of some two or three
hundred thousand men through the interior—
probably, and most probably, through Virgin
ia and Tennessee. Let us not deceive our
selves. If the Lincoln Government resolves
to prosecute the war, they can command men,
and, many of them, brave men. The South
must make up her mind to a long, fierce and
deadly struggle. It is useless to talk of peace.
The Lincolnites—the Black Republicans—
have no notion of peace. It would be the
death-blow of all their aspirations and of all
their expectations. The only peace we can
have, is that gained at the point of the bay
onet. Let us cast aside all expectation of any
other.
What Virginia has Done.
The State of Virginia has furnished the
Confederate service 750 companies uniformed
and equipped, according to law. The average
number of men in these companies, is 75 men
to each : They make an aggregate of 55,250
volunteer soldiers from the State of Virginia,
now in the ranks of the Confederate army
and actually in the field. They are divided
into fifty three regiments of Infantry, five
regiments of Artillery, and seventeen bodies
of mounted men. Besides the corps, this
State has furnished the temporary service
large masses of militia, many thousands of
men for home defence, and a great number of
persons who have employed themselves in
guerrilla warfare, and in tending to the
wounded, who are numbered on the rolls of
the army. The actual number of Virginia
troops on those rolls, we repeat, are neither
more nor less than 55,250, privates and offi
cers.
So much of manhood. In money the State
has not been leas liberal. The Convention
appropriated the sum of $7,000,000 to the
public defense, and $6,000,000 have been ac
tually advanced by the State Government to
the Confederate service. Such is the official
statement. The contributions of the various
counties and private individuals cannot be sta
ted with the same accuracy, but are suffi
ciently well known to enable us to state with
authority that they exceed $4,000,000. — Rich
mond Examiner.
A Lincoln Fleet on the Southern Coast.
Tbe following is a copy of a private dispatch
from Richmond, received in that city on tbe
27th inst., and transmitted here:
Norfolk, August 27.—The enemy’s fleet,
consisting of two steam frigates, two trans
port steamers, eight small steamers, with boats
in tow, and a body of troops, left last even
ing, the 26th inst., passed out of the Capes
and steered South. It is supposed to be for
the coast of North Carolina.
Whatever the object of this expedition, we
feel assured that our friends of the neighbor
ing coast are prepared to give these pirates
the reception they deserve. It may be with
in the range of probabilities that a visit to
our own shores is contemplated. If so, we
predict for the expedition a bitter and disas
trous failure.
Paris firm have constructed a piece
of furniture which unites the functions of a
billiard table and a piano-fort, for the Vice
roy of Egypt. The Freneh papers praiss the
ingenuity, elegance and convenience of this
invention, and think that Egypt will not be
the only country where it will be wanted.
