the enemy. --It is the opinion in well-informed circles that the naval expedition now fitting out at the North is designed for the coast of Georgia, and that the enemy proposes to attempt the landing of a force of 25,000 men at the town of Brunswick, in that State. A large amount of property in Brunswick is owned by Northern men, and they are doubtless concerned for its safety; but a more important consideration with the Lincolnites is the establishment of a naval depot in that section, fBrunswick is owned by Northern men, and they are doubtless concerned for its safety; but a more important consideration with the Lincolnites is the establishment of a naval depot in that section, for which the locality is peculiarly favorable — much more so than Pensacola, which they have lost. To be forewarned is to be forearmed; and though the conjecture may be erroneous, it certainly has the appearance of plausibility. The enemy has announced his intention of sending out an expedition, as he did previous to the attack upon Hatteras; and every spot which seems to be in the least approachable by his fleet, should be carefully watched and guarded.--Of one thing we are assured: The Yank

round May seem as shy, as grave, as just, As absolute as Angelo." These Puritans are an "outward sainted" crew. Inwardly, they come up to the Gospel mark of the Scribes and Pharisees--"ravening wolves." An unusual activity appears to prevail among the Federals at Fort Monroe. Their transports seem to be preparing for the movements of large bodies of troops so ewhither; but no one can divine where they will make their earliest manifestation. Some think Hatteras, some Brunswick, some Norfolk.--The apprehension that Norfolk may be the point has stirred up a little excitement on the pavements, as some give the idea ready credence. We must do our best if they should come. A large Federal steamer anchored in the Roads yesterday afternoon. It is thought to be the Powhatan. The fleet is growing bigger in these waters. We have now almost daily a flag of truce between our forces and the enemy's. The occurrence has got to be so customary that it excites but l

The Northern Programme for coast invasion. --A correspondent of the Griffin (Ala.) Confederate States, of the 30th ult., says the following extract from a letter, just received from a lady near Brunswick, gives some insight into their designs: My sister-in-law writes, that she has seen a Southern gentleman, just from the North, who says that they are getting up every craft they can to send South, and it is said 100,000 men are to man them. Their object — the whole coast from North Carolina to Texas. There are maps selling in New York giving the plan of the seaboard, and ten miles inwards, with every plantation and the owner's name, the number of his negroes; the name of every inlet and creek, &c. Their object is to destroy the crops and to carry off the negroes.

istance, but argues that European nations are not to be gained to the rebel cause by merely refusing them any cotton except through Confederate ports. In the next article of the New Orleans philosopher on "The Prospect" he thinks that praying and fasting are not equal to the duty of coping with Enfield guns and rifled cannon for that Providence always takes the side of the heaviest artillery; that our "formidable fleets" have created a terrible panic throughout the South; that Fernandina, Brunswick, Savannah, and other places on the Southern seacoast, are in great danger of sharing the fate of Cape Hatteras, Port Royal and Ship Island; and that, in short, "the prospect" of an independent Southern Utopia within any reasonable period of time is exceedingly gloomy. But the third article, that on "Government Speculation," from our doleful New Orleans contemporary, we are gratified to say, reveals the fact that all the swindling jobs of government officials, contractors, bucksters, s

From the North.Federal operations on the coast. We are enabled to present to our readers the official reports of the naval operations on the coasts of Georgia and Florida, received at Washington a few days ago: Official report of Com Dupont. Flag Ship Wabash, off St. John's Fla., March 19, 1862. Sir: I had the honor to inform the Department, in my communication of the 13th inst., that I had dispatched a division of my forces to Brunswick, under Commander S. W. Gordon, consisting of the Pocahontas and the Potomac. The vessels crossed the St. Simon's bar on the 8th instant, and anchored at sundown within two miles of the forts commanding the channel. On the following morning, commander Gordon, with his division, moved past the batteries, which he soon discovered had been abandoned, and immediately sent Lieut Commanding Batches with the armed boats to take possession of the batteries on St. Simon's Island, and Lieutenant Henry Miller, of the Mohican, with a suita

horsemen came to Beaver Dam Depot — where there was no force — and burnt it. They "skeddied" as soon as they heard that Smart was after them. Pope announced a great victory, in terms sufficiently swelling for Austerlitz or Jena. The Boabdil of the old army, he proclaims that he has seen nothing of his enemies but their backs. We wonder if the gentleman who cowhided him for offering an indignity to a lady was standing with his back to him when he inflicted chastisement? The Duke of Brunswick, when he invaded France issued a proclamation in which he threatened to hang or shoot every Frenchman who took up arms in defence of his country. He has received the execration of the world in return from that day to this. In a few weeks he was flying before the very people he threatened to hang. Pope threatens to hang every Virginian who may be found defending his native soil. This is certainly a very convenient way of conquering a country. It saves the trouble of fighting, and fight

Late Northern News. From files of New York and Baltimore papers, of the 14th, 15th, and 16th, we make up an interesting summary of the current news at the North: The late M'Clellan —— the way he Behaves at Trenton — his parting with the army — his chances for the Senatorship. Delegations from Brunswick, Me., and Newark, N. J., have reached Trenton with invitations for the young Napoleon to visit those cities. The Daily Register, of Patterson, N. J., nominates him for the vacant seat in the U. S. Senate. A correspondent of the New York World, writing from Trenton, on Friday, has the following gossip about him. The seclusion of the General has been somewhat relaxed to-day, and many distinguished citizens from this neighborhood and other parts of New Jersey have called upon him. All were received with easy grace and affable smiles. Little if any reference was made to the mortifying circumstances of the hour, but the future was talked of by the guests with confidence
