Speculations in Regard to the Destination
of tfie Fleets
ThcNew York Commercial Advertiser suggests
that Beaufort, S; C., afewmiles from the railroad
connecting Charleston , and ;Bavannalu itself'.ap
proachable by Port Royal inlet and St. Helena
Sound is, as the Madison Square of Palmetto aris
tocracy, a desirable place for the landing and hous
ing of our .“mud-sill 1 :’ volunteers, .and the“not
in-soolety” Republicans of the London Times and
Mr. Russell. Brunswick, Georgia, with a railway
running back nearly,-if not.qinte to .the, Atlantic
and Gulf railroad, is a good place for a winter re
sidence. The sea islands, famous.for cotton and
aristocracy,' also abound thereabouts, f Darien is
not “ bad to take.” Remandina has its-advanta
ges. Hor need we. overlook .Georgetown, and Wil
mington, and Beaufort; N. C., and a hostbeside of
pleasant retreats, suitable for the armed occupation
’of the expedition, .Perhaps the fleet, however? is
not limited to any one place. It may propose a
settlejeent at various eligible points. Letus'wait
and see, and hope that the winds and waves hoky

-As ilidications of the speculations aSoafwe give
the-following. The' first is from the Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sir»; 1
•t The destination of the armament is now a theme
of sspeculation. -'The preponderance of- opinion
favors sthe -theory-that itis destined- for a "port
where jitis argued, a cotton depot is to be opened,'-
and a port of entry and clearance • established, uni;
der the United States flag/so-that' English-and
French merchant vessels may at once open s trade '
with the South, pay ing import duties to the United!
States’under, the existing tariff.:. If the citizens of
the Confederate States choose to purchase, foreign
goods thus imported, they will pay for the same
either in cbtton or in specie, more probably the
former.- The temptation to sell their cotton a* high
; prices will, overcome any -restrictions -to the con
trary. 'The Dutch, in one of their wars,being .be-.
. sieged,-;sold powder to their enemy.-.yindieatipg,
the,act on the ground that it was in the"interest of
free trade —the great principle’for which a large
portion.of the South contends. -.. i f
The JSew York. World suggests that a lodgment
oh an island or series of islands that commands im-,
portant- harbors? with- a view to ffltureoperations,
is manifestly the. object of -the expedition. Wo
should- not, be surprised to hear, therefore, that
Port Royal harbor,, on the South Carolina coast,
should be one of, .the"points which it is in contem
plation to take, provided itisfoundthe obatheles
are . hot too formidable. A large discretion has
evidently been given Captain Dupont ,in this mat
ter. —The command of.this fine.barbor would,give
us access to-the most thiokly-settled slaveholaing
region of the South, and would be a standing me
nace to both Savannah and Charleston: The place
is admirably situated for. a vast camp of instruction
like Fortress Monroe. Should it not be deemed
advisable : fo take,this, point, Amelia Inland and
Pcrnandina wiil undoubtedly be attackediwith a
view to obtaining possession of Brunswick harbor,
the finest on the South.Atiantio coast. -. It is Impoa-;
Bible for the rebels to concentrate a large army to
defend this point, as inland navigationis 80 diffi
cult;; Its possession by out fleet would in’ effect? be
the severing of Florida fromthe 1 Confederate'
Stateß,as wewouldcommandtheSt.John’sriver
and the whcle coast around to,Pensaoolft, which,’of
course, we are'sobn tp be in possession of.
It is not at aU'probabl'e that the - Administration
inieiidto march our troops inland fora couple of
months/yet. The. tioqps.sentr ,are,.as a;,general
. -thing,-.pudiseiplined and unfit for field operations,,
but by Jaminry they wiU no doubt boin condition
, both asregards numbers ariddiscipline totake oither
; Charleston or Savannah, as tnay be deemed best.
Hereafter the Option .States that caused the war
will be forced to bear some of its burdens., It.is
' not improbable thatthe stars and stripes are floating
- to-day-in triumph over aportioh-of iho saored soil
:offSpurn'Carolina.

Ai- •
- It la understood -that the naval expedition is. not
.directly, aimed at cities on or near the Southern
coast The troops will land at thinly, settled'places,
wi»h.spacion4 harbors.‘and will at Once open cotton

General Nelson had, at. last accounts, taken
seventy-five prisoners at Basel Green, . Wolfe
countyr ; The only thing to be regretted in the
whole affair, at West Liberty, was: the shooting of
John W, Hazebrigg, whom the rebels had a prisoner,
allowing him the hounds of the town. He ran, to
get out of therway, and got behind a log,‘and raised
his head to look, when a musket-ball struck the
log, and‘a splinter'from the shotknockedhis eye

be another fight, with the redoubtable General

will be a foot-race rather than a fight. Nelson; is

State rights and allegiance to the Genertfl Govern
