Brilliant Success of General Butler’s
Expedition.
Something over a week ago the tele
graph informed us that Gen. Butler and
Commodore Stringham had fitted up a
fleet and started on an expedition, but
their ultimate destination was not known,
and to this fact may be attributed their
glorious success. The chief end of the
enterprise was to capture the forts com
manding tho most important inlet to the
coast of North Carolina, which coast, as
will be seen liy reference *to a good map,
is very singularly fashioned. A tongue
of land extends out from Virginia all
along tho Carolina coast as far as Cape
Fear, leaving between it and the main
co*ut a series of sounds broken into hays
and.affording harbors and operating space
for a large amount of contraband com
merce. An immense business has lately
been done by ships which have slipped
in and escaped out of these interior wa-
tefs, through, those inlets, but that ar
rangement haS now been effectually bro
ken up.
By the official dispatches it appears that
the fleet; reached Ocracock or Hatteras
inlet, off Pamlico Sound, on the 28th nit.
The “Adelaide” landed about three hun
dred men, amid a heavy surf, when the
men-of-war hauled in and, at 10.15, A. M.,
commenced a heavy cannonade, and kept
it up at intervals all day, recommencing
on the 29th, at 8.15 A. M., with in
creased effect. The enemy’s reinforce
ments from the main coast attempted to
land, but were driven back, and at 11.30
they were forced to surrender uncondi
tionally, and 715 men, among whom were
a number of noted rebel officers formerly
of the U. S. Army and Navy, were trans
ferred to the Minnesota, which sailed for
New York on Friday last.
In the two forts captured there were
25 cannon and 1,000 stand of arms, all of
winch arc now and wc trust will remain
in the hands of, the Federal troops. The
loss of the Rebels in killed and wounded
jis not exactly known, as many of the
.and ail the killed, except two
who were'found in an out-house of Fort
Clark, were conveyed to the Rebel steam-
ers in thp Sound previous to the surren-
der. Rut by a special despatch from Wil
mington, N. C., to the Louisville Courier
3hey admit that from five to six hundred
were captured, sixty to eighty killed and
wounded, and that only ten or a dozen
escaped. Lieut. Murdoch, formerly of
the U. S. J*avy, had an arm badly shat
tered, but was fortunate enough to make
his escape in the privateer/ 1 Winslow,”
prior to the surrender of Hatteras.
Flag-officer StringUam conducted the
■“ Minnesota,” with her cargo of prisoners,
to New York, while. General Butler came
on to Washington last Sunday morning.—
The news of his brilliant exploit soon
spread through the city,and occasioned
unbounded joy among all loyal people.—
Whether the expedition achieved aU4t
went to achieve, or whether it was to have
gone further South, we are not informed,
nut, from the fact that the leaders and the
most prominent vessels have returned, we
should judge that it is a finished job. It is
fair to presume that the other inlets have
ad-'been: obstructed with the old hulks '
bought at Baltimore and taken along, evi
■ietitly for that purposc. The forts are
distant about two miles from caoh .other,
and were called respectively Fort Hatteras
and Font Clark.
A dispatch from Baltimore states that
“maty of the prisoners taken arc Balti
moreans, and that a ship load of cotton,
prepared to run the blockade, was among
thwpfiacs.” ,

The committee appointed to draft reso

vention offered the following,, which were
unanimously adopted:
WiIEREAB, A wicked conspiracy, having
for its .object the subversion of our Gov”
eminent and the destruction of our liber
ties, has been inaugurated in certain of
the Southern States; And Whereas, In
common with our loyal fellow citizens, we
hold sacred the Union, liberty, and peace
of our beloved Country, Therefore,
Resolved , That all the measures of our
National and State Administrations insti
tuted for the suppression of treason and
for the-effective prosecution of the war
against the open and wicked armed rebell
ion in the South, meet with our hearty
and unqualified approval.
Resolved , That in the present struggle
between government and treason, there can
be but two parties —loyal men and trai
tors; those who sustain the Union, Con
stitution, and the enforcement of the
laws,' and those who oppose, either in
open rebellion the enforcement of the
laws, or aid and assist the enemies of the
Country by sympathizing with’ treason,
or advocating humiliating compromises
with traitors.- ‘
Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, who has fallen hi bat
tle, was educated at the U. S, Military Academy
at West Point, where he graduated with distinc
tion in 1841, and finally rose to-the rank of
Captain in the second infantry, and by the re
cent choice of the Missouri volunteers became
their Brigadier General. He was in the prime
of life as a military commander, being in the
42d year of his age.
His service has been principally upon the
frontiers, iu the Florida, Texas, California,'Ore
gon, Kansas and other Indian and border wars.
He entered the Military Acadenre as a cadet in
June, 1837, and graduated in 1841. On gradu
ating from the Military Academy he received
bis commission as a Lieutenant in the army,
and was at' once ordered to join the army Jrl
Florida, then operating against the ludians.—
After uncompla.uingly passing through that
most disagreeable campaign among the ever
glades of Florida, he wtis stationed for some
years at various points on our Wcsterp frontier.
Soon alter the commencement of hostilities
between the United States and Mexico bn was
ordered to join the northern line, of operations
under General Taylor, and, after reaching Mon
terey was soon ordered to join the expedition
against \ era Cruz. In the bombardment and
capture of that city, and in the severely con
tested battles of Contreras, Cheruhusco, and
others which occurred between that place and
the City of 'Mexico, his activity and military
skill found full play. He took an active part
in each and all of them, un i while fighting in

Axothee Victory.—On Monday last
there was a fight at Boone Court-House,
in the western part of Virginia, which re
sulted in, the complete root of the rebels,
with a loss to them of thirty killed, forty
taken prisoners, and a large number
wounded. There were hilt six wounded
on our side, and none killed. It is also
stated that our men burned the town.

State of Affairs at Richmond.
We clip the following extract* frtm the
Richmond correspondence of the Charles
ton Mercury. The writer says:
Richmond is packed to suffocation by as in
numerable crowd of idlers, quid nuna, public
offiaials, and soldiers, for the most part red
capped, redfaced, pussy, panting and perspi
ring, with ice at twelve cents per- pound, and
little of that to be had for lore or money;
where every gate is thronged with suitors,
eitber.for papers to gb from this or permits to
visit that camp; where your nose and mouth is
crammed with impalpable dust, and your ears
stunned with the muttering?, grumblings, and
curses of discontent or disappointment.
He gives the following gloomy account
of the condition of the Commissariat, and
the consequent suffering of the rebels in
arms
There is universal complaint made of the
want of efficiency in the Commissariat Depart
ment. It Was felt severely and immediately
after the battle of Manassas. Our brave troops,
particularly the sick and wounded, suffered
greatly. Some of the troops were without pro
visions from Sunday breakfast until Tuesday
after the battle. Since then it has occurred
more than once that many have been wit bout
food for twenty-four hours. Great indignation
is felt throughout the army and in Richmond
on account of this outrageous and unendurable
inefficiency. The efficiency of the array is im
paired, and even its movements retarded through
the want of supplies. I learn it has been,.and
is a matter of bitter complaint and earnest re
monstrance by the commanding Generals. And
not only is there a want of sufficient quantity,
but the provisions are not good—in fact, they
are positively unwholesome It is not only so
at the camps in Fairfax county, where the army
is large, but also in other camps A great deal
of sickness is the natural consequence. One
regiment near Acquis, Creek has lost sixty men,
and another-thirty. The weather has been in
tensely hot, and the great mortality isattributed
by the troops to had provisions, unsuitable at
sny time, but more especially during such a
season.
The country people, camp traders nnd sut
lers, too, in the neighborhood of Fredericks
burg and Acquia Creek, charge: the poor fel
lows meet; extortionate - prices for everything
they buy. - And not only is the department of
subsistence' illy managed, but the equally in
dispensable department, transportation, is also
lamentably behind. It was the condition of
these two branches of the" army, which pre
vented Gen. Beauregard from advancing to meet
McDowell, as he had intended. It was his un
preparedness in these, which prevented him
from following the defeated enemy from Manas
sas. , It is these which now paralyze him, pre
vent a forward movement, and are daily losing
for the. South the Substantial fruits of tha great
victory. Beauregard has made superhuman
exertions, and struggled against terrible and
unappreciated difficulties and discouragements.
His great determination, and the pluck of hie
troops, have accomplished wonders. But the
Executive cij inertia is a huge obstacle to suc
cess, and the public interest peremptorily re
quires that no ipan, or set of men, should stand
in the way.

that almost every person is dressed in .uniform.
Those who weir a citizen’s dress are hooted at
in the streets, and called “Yankees.’’ The

alive by exaggerated reports of victories and
lying statements of Northern atrocities.

The greatest modern poetess of Eng

fiSf Could anything be more patriotic and
more significant than the reply of the President
to a New York gentleman who sought to dis
cover his policy with regard to the demand for
a change of a part of his Cabinet ? “ Tell your
friends, sir, to make war ou the enemy, and not
on each other."
BST" The Richmond “Examiner,” of the 26th
ult., says that the Confederate Congress has
decided to repeal the law establishing port# of
entry, and throw all the Southern trade
open to foreign commerce, providing, that ves
sels that run the blockade into sham inlets may
pay Confederate duties at the port nearest to
where they land.

the three new gun-boats at Cairo, are the same
pieces that Floyd had ordered for shipment from
the Pittsburgh Arsenal to Memphis, at the time
when, some months ago, a strong popular move

vented such shipment. They are now on board
war steamers which are destined for that place.
B®* The New Hampshire Statesman Says that
one of General Fremont’s aids was in Concord
last week. The object of his visit is understood
to have been to provide for the construction of
a large lot of wagons arranged for cooking the
food of any army on the march. These wagons
are like what is used in the French service.
Several of those wagons have already been con
structed.
It is proposed to mount the flag staff of
our national colors with a carved or cast gill
spread eagle, so that the difference between
ours .and the rebel flag may be easily distin
guished, The idea is a good one and ought to
be adopted. The uniform should also be a dif
ferent color from that of the' rebel troops,
though many of oar regiments, notwithstanding
the order to dress in blue, have still the gray
uniform dealt out to them.
•Bishop Simpson’s Patbiotism Bishop Simp

crisis in Chicago. It is described as being the
most eloquent and overwhelming effort ever
made by the Bishop. Thousands beard it and
were affected beyond all precedent. No lan

Judge Pearson on the National Crisis.
In bis charge to the grand jury on the open
ing of the Lebanon county Court this week,
Judge Pearson, speaking on our present na
tional and the. laws relating to the
duties of the citizens concerning the same, in
structed them, in substance, aa follows:
Von are well aware, gentlemen. Uutftbe Gov
ernment of (he country ie now engtfeed in a
great straggle with rebellion. A vety consid
erable portion Of the States of this Union have
risen against* the lavs, endeavored to throw off
their allegiance, and are now in open arms,
with a view of subverting and destroying the
Constitution and Government of the United
States. This ie no there party contest, such as
has frequently agitated our country, to be ulti
mately settled at the ballot-box, but a great
struggle for national existence, to bo determined
by force of arms alone. It is scarcely neces
sary for me to remind a true and loyal people,
like those of Lebanon county, of their duty as
citizens in such a contest, and to soy that they
are bound by their Allegiance and interest not
only to do no act and utter no word or senti
ment calculated to embarrass the Government
in ita action, but to render all the assistance in
their power to aid it in carrying on the war so
unjustly forced upon: it. To levy war against
the United States, or adhere to the enemy in
time of war, giving them aid and comfort, is
high treos'on, but ibis crime can be tried only
in the Federal courts.
Treason may also be committed against the
State of Pennsylvania by the same acts, or any
endeavor to subvert and overturn the Govern
ment and over that offence you and we have
jurisdiction. But the'law to which I particu
larly wish to direct your attention as having a
more practical bearing on the action of the
people in the present exigency, was passed at
the last session of the Legislature, and should
be known and understood by alii lest any might
transgress unwittingly. The act punishes with
great severity the aiding or abetting the enemy
now at war with the United States, by joining
their armies or procuring any one so to dp, or
furnishing them any article for their aid and
comfort, carrying on a correspondence njth
them, or giving them any intelligence whatever,
it -also- prohibits, under like penalty, every en
deavor to dissuade persons from entering the
service of this State or of the United States, or
from joining any volunteer, company or associa
tion about being mustered into service, to in
duce or endeavor to', persuade them to abandon
or withdraw from the same.
Every resident of; Pennsylvania who is pro
tected by its laws, muist abstain from utteriug,
writing or printing anything with the view nnd
purpose or which mays have the effect of pre
venting others from entering the armies of the
State or Nation; or -tnay induce others already
entered to desert theiri colors and abandon this
service. We all most highly prize the liberty
of speech and. freedom of the press, yet, at a
time like this, when great calamities may be
impending over the Nation, the rules-of mo
rality, our allegiance i and duty alike- require
that we shall abstain from doing any act or
altering any word or sentiment calculated to
show that our councils are divided, whereby the
hand of the enemy is strengthened and that of
the Government weakened, and such act is well
calculated to giro aid and comfort to the enemy:
and writing, printing or advised speaking be
fore the people against the action of the Na
tional Government, directly tends to induce
those in the service to leave it, and those about
to enter, to change their intentions. Persons
violating these plain duties may readily bring
themselves within the penalty of the law; and
if the Grand Jury, or any one of them, know
of this statute having been transgressed, it is
your bounden duty to present the transgressors,
so that they may receive punishment according
to their demerits. ,
General Dix Foils a “Secesh” Game.
The Baltimore Clipper of Saturday savs:
“ It will be remembered that on last Wednes
day morning the steamer Hugh Jenkins was
advertised to visit Point Lookout on an excur
sion. From information received, General Dix
was satisfied that the object of the Hugh Jen
kins in visiting Point Lookout was for purposes
other than that of a pleasure excursion. He
accordingly notified the getters np of the ex
cursion that the boat could not leave the city
unless accompanied by a company of Col. Dui
yea’s Zouaves. After considerable delay, the
parties who chartered the boat consented to the
proposal "of the General and the boat left her
wharf, having on board sixty-five soldiers, seven
police officers under command of Lieutenant
Carmichml, and about twenty-five excursion
ists. N
“Nothing of interest transpired on the way
down, except that a passenger named MoElwee
expressed himself rather freely relative to the
topics of the day, and made a boast that he
wonld kill the Captain (Griffin) of the boat be
fore landing at Point Lookout. McElwec was
immediately placed in of a file of Zou
aves, and his movements closely watched until
the boat landed at her destination. McElwoe
was then sent ashore, and nothing more was
heard of him. Upon arriving at Point Look
out, a negro informed Lieutenant Carmichael
that during the day throe hundred rebels had
quitted the place in schooners and proceeded to
Virginia—the rebels having heard that a large
force of Federalists were approaching the place.
“Considerable surprise was manifested at the
Point when the boat arrived, as it was under
stood that-the boat, instead of being filled with
Federal soldiers, wonld bring down several
hundred recruits for the Southern army, and
the boat would be sold to the Confederates.—
The chagrin of the Secessionists, when they
discovered how they had been outgeaeraled,
was amusing in the extreme. They denounced
our po.ice as being intermeddlers in a business
which did not concern them, and expressed
themselves in so many other shapes that we
feel certain the poor fellows will not recover
from the disappointment in a long time : The
programme appeared to be, that when the boat
landed at Point Lookout she was to be seized
provided with cannon, and be despatched on a’
privateering expedition.
Rebel Hateed of the GeeSiass.— A gentle
man who spent several days in the vicinity of
Spnngheld states that he mingled freely with
noth officers and men in the rebel army. They
admit that onr troops, in the Springfield battle,
all fought with astonishing bravery and tenaci
ty - After the fight Commenced, General Price,
who is a portly man of fifty years, with gray
barir, rode along his. lines, addressing his men:
‘Mow, boys, here are the d d Dutch you
have all been so anxious to meet; you see lam
not afraid of them; show them how you can
fight. They claim; that Priee exhibited great
bravery in the field, and was not afflicted with
any return of bis Boonville distemper. The
rebels firmly believe that our loss is 2,500.
They claim a great victory, but find it difficult
to explain- the fact that they were unable to
pursue our army when it Some attrib
ute it to their running ont of ammunition ; oth
ers say that Price favored pursuit, but McCul
loch would npt permit it for fear of beintt drawn
into a trap. • 6 •

“ The engine halted for water at the North viT
lags, and as the girlaof Slater’# mills had «»,
grtgated wpon the lawn between the mml<
m railroad track, die soldier* flocked from T
dan and occupied the few minutes of the w,
fe moot prolonged sad indiscriminate kissing t
Which the blushing girls submitted with a c!J
mendablo and becoming grace.”
Why Bekkcrr ttas Aosxsted We i ean ,
from Washington that the re-il cause of Har
Berrett’s arrest was his disclosure to the reb?,
of a plan formed by McClellan of making a n
conqoisanee in force into Virginia, and !0r
ronhdinpGen. Johnson's six thousand men with
a much larger force. If this be true, we e
account for the late sudden retreat of the rtb
els in that neighborhood. ' They feared the »•'
tack thus disclosed to them. ,
