The New York World, speaking of the expedi tion and its probable attack on Charlo tim, be-* lievos that it will he weeks yet before auythiog is done hy ir. Thc World says, in the course of ita editorial speculation? as to the time of attack: The expedition against Charleston seems lo have miscarried for a season, and flic attack, it is now announced, may not he ma-le fur a mouth yet. Thus allthe time spent in North Carolina has leen los'. The original object was to make the r-'-e's believe a mandi inland and an attack un Wilmington wns designed, and then.to ?udden ly sail for Charleslou and attack it without delay. Hut the oil story wa? repeated. The War De partment sent Major-iiteuernl Fuster with troops to Major Ueucrul Hunter's department without designating who should eoromaud thc operations. Gen. Foster declared bu was thc man, but Gen, Hunter was tpiite Mire he was ihe commanding general. So thc troops which were to have re mained on board the traii-;-orts until disembark ed for a direct attack on Charleston have been lauded at St. Helena LS ind. while Geber?!
