aim of this force is, beyond doubt, to advanco
to Weldon, and cut off railro&d connection at
that place with Petersburg and Richmond.
At Weldon tho roads from Wilmiiigton, and
Raleigh and Petersburg converge. It is an
important position, and, of course, will be held
by our forces at all hazards. We have no information
as to the preparations to receive them,
but believe that our authorities, will see to it
that they are ample.

A good story is told of the Rev. Dr. Mullen,
the well known pastor of St. Patrick's Church
iu Now Orleans. He was known to be a bitter
secessionist in feeling, and, on account of
his well known bluntncss of speech, many of
his friends feared that ho would be one of tho
first consigned by Butler to a dungeon. Soon
after the occupation of the city by the enemy,
he was sent for by a Yankee officer to perform
the burial service over one of the Northern
soldiors who had died. To this request Dr.
Mullen acceded. Tho service being over, the
Yankee was profuse in his expression of thanks.
The reverend gentleman, however, cuttheconveasation
short by blandly informing him
that there was -no obligation at all in the matter
and that he "would, if required, take pleasYankeoure
in hurrying the entire garrison."
"One or Two Hundred" Yankee Ships
for Charleston.?The New York Herald
thus boastefully speaks of the naval plans of
Lincoln for the future: "By our naval successes
in capturing the ports of the rebels, one or two
hundred ships will soon be liberated to operate
upon Charleston, which will inevitably fall.
Then we will have an immense fleet to disDose
