2506 - L. July 20; ed: 2/2 - The expedition of 20,000 men under General A.
J. Smith, on its way to Montgomery or Selma, has met with success.
Another important expedition, under General Rousseau, is also headed
for Selma or Montgomery and will probably meet Smith enroute and inflict
great damage to the enemy, as General Johnston cannot spare a man to re-
pel them.
If they reach Selma, the Union force will move on to Mobile or Mont-
gomery. "We watch with the greatest interest, this important expedition."
