Tlic Plan of tlio CitmpaiKiiWc
believe we may Say that the plan of
the autumn and winter campaign has boon
determined, and that the loading generals
are apprized of the parts they tire to play
in it. It involves operations of so cxten- .
give a character as to be without parallel i
in history, an 1 to be morally certain of ef- i
fcctinj; Iheir objects?the suppression of j
the rebellion before next sprint;.
j lie plan present's that llio rebels will
remain inactive "at their piosont. posts.
Should tJenoral Hoaureijur I attack Washington,
a cl anjje in the pr"gramme ini^ht
be the result, a> 't is eonli lontly nnticipa- i
ted that he would meet with an overwhelm'?
iug defeat, which would proha ly preoipi,
tate matters. ?ain. should ttou. .Johnston
undertake an a^ressive inoveuienj
against Cairo, the MisMi-dmii ox:?e litiou I
inig' t proeect ! to/Woik more speedily than is
ihtvp intend -d. It is ii >t believed, however,
that either of these contingencies will oo- i
, cur. At Washington, as at t'.iiro, -"tin at
tucking force wouhl li+sht at such an enormous
disadvantage that k i< not snppos- !
e>l tlii! oxpericiiond leaders of the rebel army
would woutouly run the risk ui a lor- ,
' ward movement.
Assuming, then, th it the r< bed pursue j
the ivi;jp.-fB.mr.se, an I wait t-> be attaike I
in their entrenchment*. we have reason to ,
believe that, iifthe lir-1 or second wet k ol
Oetohor, th - campaign w.!l be siuiultatic- j
oo-dy e cu n nee ! on t!i coast, i:i the \i j
ciniiy ol Portress Monroe, at .Man is** is, at I
Harper's l orry, in Ke.itm-ky, nnr the .Mississippi,
and in the \Vi .'tern portion of Mis
s mri.
We believe th it naval expeditionnre
being lilletl ? ;t in V-w Mnglaii I ami
New Vurk. l lie e.inips at I lemj.-fea 1 and
Moarsdale are to luriiish men I'or two ol'
them ; the third will recruit 10,>? '* v..Inn
tiers in New Kog'.iiid. Wo piv-uino wish
ill ii 0 b- Iar wioug il' we predict tli.it i
these oxp ii . his wi i be eonnuaiided by
t i. ns. Huflcr, I'ura-i l an 1 liauder. Two j
ol'th-u w:ll prob.ibl? operate on liifieivui i
points f th.' Southern c >a-t, with a view i
f districting the a;t -i.tion ui the < rie.i.y j
from the line of the 1'otoini ?one, for in- i
stance, in iy efleet a la i-i.ng .t or near Port
Royal, S. tvliile the otln r, reinforced
hy the garrison at Fort Ibckcis, may reopen
the excellent liarboi* ol iViisacula to
the commerce ol the world. It is likely
that the third, which will const t at least '
10,000 men, an 1 will be commanded by ,
(den. lt.<rnsi le, will operate in the t'hesa j
peakc, landing hi as on one side 10 Hank
the rebel army on the Potomac, while on
the other to take Xorfalk in the rear, in
exse the rebels slum d fall back from Man
nssas. All of these expeditions will le
provided with ample artillery, and the
I landings will ho eil iged under cover of]
1 heavy n aval batteries. Ships, .steamers,
gunboats and launches are, we#belicve, bo
ing actively prepared fur this service.
j. Simultaneously With the departure ??!' j
these expeditions, we look lor a forward i
movement on the part of (J m. Hanks. A :
glance at the map will show how (lea
McCleilau will Cooperate with him. It
the enemy resist hi t: it; force, MeClellatj
will naturally attaek Manassas at once. If,
he moves on without opposition, the at
taek will lie deferre 1 until ho is in a pu.-i- j
tion to take part in it by thinking the enemy.
We have an interination that simul
taneously with <Icn. Hanks' movement,
(jcti. Sickles will cross the Potomac some
twenty miles below Washington, with a
view to gain a position between Manassas,
and Richmond. These details, however, '
. nre of course as yet undetermined ; and the
intimation is merely a shrewd guess The
main point?that Manassas will be threat- ,
ffii-u un three sides simultaneously, while a
column under (den. Burnside advances to
cut (.ifthe retreat of the enemy?may be
regarded us pretty certain.
Meanwhile, further west, flen. Anderson
may be expected by tlie lUth October
S> have raised such an army of Kcntuckijtis
and Kast 'i'enncsseeans as to keep Ten- ;
ticssee effectually in check, and to co-operate
efficiently with Hen. Fremont, who by '
?u..? ;ii - ' i - ? . I
it net l tunc win |ui;imim> nave iiiusiercu nit
army sufficient to beat the rebels in the
neighborhood of Hpringkold, Missouri, and '
fc: man a powerful expedition for the descent
of tho Mississippi. We do not look
for naval operations of the first importance ;
on the Mississippi.. The fortified points on '
that river will naturally J,o assailed by land.
Carp* (ftirnn'r will converge upon thorn
from either shore, and reduce then: us llafcterus
was reduced, or, when tho thing is
practicable, with tho bayonet. Tho gun
boats will be useful as auxiliaries, end the
river will prove valuable for tho transportation
of supplies. Hut the fighting hi
the West will ho done on land. if the
campaign in that region is to keep pcturo
with that in tho Kast, the rebel forces under
Price, or McCulloch, or whoever has
succeeded them, which are. now in possession
of Springfield, Missouri, nnd the vicinity,
must be defeated and ?|riw?n

Thus, if oua correct, the
m&fr
buttle will have begun along the whole line
ironi the Atlantic to Kansas, by the inid
die of October, at least two points on th<
const, will be either in possession of v?r* un
dcr bombardment by our forces. It is be
lievcd that the whole force will not be les
than 350,000 men, exclusive of reserve
and Home (Juards in Kentucky, Marylam
and Missouri; so that at every point uttack
ed we shall probably outnumber the ene

It is not reasonable to believe thnt tin
rebel troops lrom the (Julf States will re

Accounts from the North arc very explicit
in their admission of the objects of
the several expeditious of a tnixed character,
being lilted out for operations on the
Southern coast. One of these objects is
generally announced to be to seize and reopen
to the coniuiciCe of the world a leading
cotton port. It is recommended that
ott the ot^upation of such a port the commanding
general of the Lincoln force
j should invito nil "loyal" citizens of I lie
| South to ho ml their cotton tithcr for sit ipi
inent, offering fifteen to twoiitw cents n
j pound for cotton ' and trying l>y alt po?ij
l.le bribes the nttnchipont of the planters
i to the Southern cmso.

; the great leclinc ill their exports, which
! arc scarcely on ; third more than at eorivspoiiding
periods in ISO I. The Lincoln
(lovcrutmnt tuust iiml an outlet for the
cotton" ft does not occur to tho.-c theorists
that even the < iccupnt >n of a priuci|de cotport
in the South would not advance their
scheme, ami that planting int> rest of the
South could never be suducted to further
it even if they were, as the New York
//. m/J says they are, "suffering tor the
want of necessaries of life."
The object of the enemy, in seeking to
obtain possession of lirunswick, on the
t ienrgia eoa>t, would scarcely he to get
' Cotton, i veil il tin- people were willing to
forward ;t. It i-, however, doubtless an
object ol the l.inenlu (ioverumeut, as far
; is t? can he a?e. rtainvd l?y the declarations
I of tin- Northern papers, to have a statiiTti
ion the Atlantic oo..s! South ot Hampton

It is probable tb it tin ii is much exaggeration

Sir: I leave at eight in the morning, and

I and to the enemy in the field. I am not

that an officer going into the field, his life

' to serve his country and win for himself
its >rood opinions, with no oth r object,
should be destroyed by a system of concerted
