rough it on the Gulf coasts in winter, with no dry camping ground, no good water, and no chances of plunder. The bad water, the bad weather, and the lack of fresh grub, have made the hospital department the most important branch of the "Expedition of the Southwest." The elements, led to the attack by the great Commander of the Universe, are our firm allies, and do the work of shot and shell quiet effectually. Set down the "great expedition of the Southwest" as another Yankee Jasco. McClellan might further carry out his grand strategy of "diversion," and still find that quadruple the force he has yet been able to place in the Gulf would not divert one man from the Army of the Potomac. We have enough and to spare at every point of importance, to hold it against any force. Since my last, a lively business has been done by the "blockade breakers," with mixed success. I may not say how many vessels have successionally get out of port, nor may I say what have successfully got
in a legal tender in payment of debts. It has been my anxious wish to avoid the necessity of such legislation. It is, however, at present impossible, in consequence of the large expenditures entailed by the war and the suspension of the banks, to procure sufficient for disbursements, and it has, therefore, become indispensably necessary that we should report to the issue of the United States notes. The Herald says it is the inaction of Congress, and not the Cabinet or President, or McClellan, that is now retarding those military operations, destined to crush out rebellion and prevent Southern recognition.

General Siegel has been in St. Louis since Thursday last, it, responded to a General Stalleck and left this troubled holed to take charge of his division, for Lebanon. The report made days says since, and te
ound in anything like the same numbers? I assure you, and I assure them, that their places cannot be supplied in any considerable degree. The second ground is, that the enemy, from necessity, must make an onward, movement, (if ever,) in the next three or four months; it may be sooner, and, can any one suppose if the present volunteers, or any considerable number of them, retire from the army, and their places have to be filled by raw militia, that we can successfully meet an enemy that Gen. McClellan has been drilling and preparing for last six months with the most rigorous energy? It would be impossible for us to succeed in such a contest, and it should not be thought of by any one. If it could be known to the enemy, (and they do and will know,) that there was a general re-volunteering of our "braves" now in the field, of those who met them at Bethel, at Blackburn's ford, at Manassas, and at Leesburg, I really believe it would make more for our cause than any one thing that co
