Major-Gen. Hood's division passed through the city to day,
and crossed over the river. I hope an attack will be made at Suffolk. It is too
menacing a position to allow the invader to occupy it longer.
No attack on Charleston yet, and there is a rumor that the
command of the expedition is disputed by Foster and Hunter. If it hangs fire,
it will be sure to miss the mark.
