The greatest naval expedition in which our government ever engaged is about being completed. The largest portion of the fleet has been fitted out at New York, the balance at Philadelphia and Boston. Large steamships that have won themselves renown as ocean palaces, have been stripped of their gilding, loaded heavily with cannon and death dealing missives, and taken into the ranks of transports and war vessels. The severe gale which prevailed a} Fortress Mohrbe the latter part oi last week, somewhat retarded the prepara tions for the departure of the fleet. On Monday last several officers of the Navy were at Baltimore on short furloughs from Fortress Monroe, but no intimation was given by them as to the destination oi the immense fleet, but that more than ope blow is to be speedily struck, is certain. On Thursday thirty-one steam vessels of various sir.es were lying at Hampton Hoads, nearly all large class side wheel Btramers, among which prevailed the utmost activity. Naval and military stores in large amounts were received on board, and every preparation going on conducive to the comfort tand necessi ties ot the troops intended to be trans ported in them. The Great Republic was towed into the Hoads on Thursday by the Vander bilt, from New York, bringing horses for thearmy and teamsters. The Vanderbilt sailed up the Chesapeake to Annap olis Roads, where she is awaiting the shipment of troops. The steamship Ben Deford is also lying at the same place, ready to leave by Sunday. Three other large steamers also left Hampton Roads for Annapolis, to convey troops to theformer place. The Wabash arrived at Hampton Hoads on the 18 th, bringing six gun-boats. Heavy freights of provisions andoloth ilfg oontinue to be carried down to Old Point by the daily line of government boats from Baltimore. JS®»The late affair at Edward’s Ferry Beems to have been very badly managed. With telegraphic communication along the whole line of the Potomac to head quarters, and fighting in the face of a superior force all day, with the positive information that reinforcements to the enemy were at hand, is, so far as we can judge, an inexcusable blunder, attended with loss of valuable life, loss of pres tige and confidence in our strength. Are we to be forever taken by surprise, and thrashed without mercy by an infe rior foe? -General McClellan has not two weeks life in him, unless, in that time he shall have fought and won a battle- The government expect it, the army expect it, the people expect it. We have been patient, but the stock is getting low, and we cannot help thinking if he is no better prepared for a great battle that! he appears to be for skirmishing he should Eay so. THE WAR AND COMMERCE Oar present difficulties have brought about a revolution in commercial matters, which could never have been accomplished by other means. The extent to which re trenchment in expensive articles for cloth ing has been carried, can not be better ex emplified than by a comparison of the value of the importation of silks to the City of New York. In the month of September, 1861 (we take the month last passed at random, without searching for a better example,) the value of silks brought to that port and entered for consumption at the Custon Houbb was $671,553. In the same month of the year 1860 the value reaohed the enormous sum of $2,039,271, and of the year 1859 the sum of $1,998,829. The difference, then, between the imports tion of this article in September, 1860 and 1861, reaches the large amount of $1,467,- 718, or, in other words, we havo imported but little more than one-quarter of the silks that we did last year. We have net taken into account the goods which have been entered for warehousing In the above statement. Their value, however, does not materially alter the results arrived at. Important from New Orleans— The.Kebel Preparations for De fence. Tie Louisville Journal gives promi nence to & statement of a gentleman, jußt arrived at Lebanon, Ky., from New Or leans, who states that the Rebel prepara tions for the defence of that city are on a grand Bc&le, and so formidable as to render the city secure against assanlt from any na val force the government can at present command. Great improvements, he says; have heen made recently in the means of defence along the hfissisiippi river. The batteries of small field pieces at first erec ted-havo been exchanged for heavy siege gnns, and many points have been fortified within a few weeks, which were until then assailable and unprotected.

Editob—We are now located some eight or ten miles from the capital, insight of FSIls Church and within half a mile of the Alexandria, Louden and Hampshire Eailroad. During the past week our regi ment was threatened with a pretty general prevalence of the malarial or camp fever, which was contracted while we were en< camped at Fort Corcoran, just across the Potomao. lam happy now, however, to be able to say that its progress has been checked and the sick are being rapidly re stored to health, which blessing, it is con fidently hoped and expected, we will con* tinue to enjoy, since we have left the wet, marshy ground on the river, for the more i elevated and healthy land of the interior. The friends at home must not allow them* selves to be alarmed by the thousand and one ridiculoa9 stories which, judging from private letters received here, are flying about there. The truth is bad enough at all times and it is heartless cruelty for peo ple to retail gossip calculated to excite the nerves of people having friends in the army. 'While those who have loßt a son, brother, or other dear friend, will think their fate bard enough, a cool, reflecting person cannot help but think that we have, under all the circumstances, been very for» innate. For the purpose of satisfying all those interested, I have made out a full and correct list of those in each company who have died Bince we left, together with their age and residence. It iB as follows : Company A—Joseph Frew, of Allegheny city, aged 21. do do— Edward Campbell, do do aged 19 do do—Joseph Holmes of Beaver county, aged 19. Company B—Matthew Bankey, of Birmingham, aged 21. do do—-Samuel Downs, do agea 24. do do —Jacob Snyder, do Company C vvm. Conrad of Clarion Co, aged 26. do do—Jackson MoCannaha, Allegheny oounty, aged 23. Company D—John George Shrevhengost, Arm strong county, aged 18. Company G— Matthias Fisher, new Castle, Aged 18. _ _ do do—Solomon Boyd, West Manchester, aged 26. do do—William Chapman, t Uegheny city, aged lft. Company H—lsrael P. Holly, 8L Clair township, aBed 26. do do—James Foreman, of Temperance* rille, aged 20. Company E— John McChesney, Allegheny otty, aged 2^. Company L— John Wehner, Birmingham, aged 18. do Young, Company M—John Campbell,’ Blair C'o., ag9d 19. From this it will be seen that we have lost, out of twelve hundred men, in a peri od of nearly throe months, eighteen, a ma jority of whom were youths under twenty one years, whose habits were not formed, and whom it was difficult to restrain m their diet and habits generally. As an act of justice to the surgeon of our own regiment, Dr. Kerr, and his as sistants, I would here mention that only seven of the deaths noted above occurred in our own camp, under their direct super vision, the others having died in hospitals in Georgetown,Washington and elsewhere, to which they had been taken. Cleanliness, good order and the best of discipline oontinue to prevail in this regi ment, and every precaution that can be is taken, to preserve the health and minister to the comfort of the men, by Colonel Black and others having their interests in charge. Our brigade is now composed of four flljst class regiments, under command of Gen. Morrell, viz : Massachusetts Ninth, New York Foorteentb, Michigan Fourth, and our own—ours occupying the extreme left. We do not know what day or hour we may be called into a fight, but are ready to go any time on thirty minutes notice.— Col. Black acted as brigade officer of the day yesterday and last night, personally superintending the stationing of pickets, and taking full charge of everything per taining to the position. Any duty devolv ing open him which requires, in its faith ful and prompt discharge, labor and expo sure, he performs himself, rather than di rect others to do it. Two or three days since, companies B and M, Captains Patterson and Crozier, were detailed from our regiment to go out on picket, about two miles from camp, on the Lswinsville- road, north of Falls Church. Capt. F. and Lieutenants McKee and Salisbury, with Captain Crozior and Lieutenants Potts and Murrav, with their men, responded promptly and reported themselves to Colonel Skillan, of the New York Fourteenth, who was in command of a battallion of picketers from our division. Capt. Patterson was placed in command of one hundred and fifty men, and during the three days the boys were out they had a good time. While out, some of his com mand captured seven cows, supposed to be long to a secessionist named Sherwood, and reported them to Captain Patterson. The Captain was disposed to consider them contraband and drive them into our camp, but when a lady presented herself and Btated that her husband was absent from home, and that these eows were the main support of several children, the Captain caved in and permitted the woman to send after the stock. A great many other little incidents occurred while we were out, but as I have not time to note them, and you have not room to publish them, will let them go. Our brigade is tolerably well officered by Western Pennsylvanians, as you will think, when I tell you that we have Capt. G. Nelson Smith, of Johnstown, for Brig ade Quartermaster, assisted by Albert Cantwell, of Blairsville; Capt. Sam. Mo Kelvy, as Brigade Commissary, assisted by D. A. Wray, of Pittsburgh, while our fat, good natured friend, Ephriam Jones, has been appointed and is acting as wagon master of the brigade. “Eph,” his many admirers will be happy to learn, makes a most excellent and popular officer. The Sutler of onr regimont, Mr, Mun dorff, has reported himself, since I last wrote you, with a fine lot of goods and is rendering satisfaction. The business of his establishment is managed by Mr. James F. Kitchart, of your city, as principal super intendent, and he gets along finely in his new position. In drilling and manoeuvering our boys have rather a busy time since they have got through making roads and building bridges. In the morning, the different companies are drilled by their Oaptainß ior about'three hourß in company drill, while in the afternoon, Col. Black gives them altogeth r three hours of battalion drill.— The rapid improvement the men are mak« ing, and the numerous compliments which are paid the regiment by visitors, is ample guaranty of our Colonel’s superior qualifi cations as a military man. His work speaks for itselt There are a great many items of general news which we get here by various .chan nels, bnt as they all reach you by .mail and telegraph, I do not deem it necessary to incorporate them in my letters, which are only intended to give you matters of in terest among ourselves. Speculation as to what ought to, or will be done, 1 leave to wiser heads and more able pens.

The following letter from Baltimore tp tho Now, York Herald, will attract atten tion : I have been put in possession of some very startling facts to day, which, taken in connection with others already well known,' furnish as strong a confirmation as could bo desired of the inimical attitude of France and England towards the United States. You are aware that Sir James Fergusson, a dssliuguished member of the British Parliament, is now in this city, having come from Bichmond through the lines of the opposing armies before Wash ington under the protection of a flag of truce. It is proper to state here that I have derived none of my information from Sir James or from the gentleman who ac companies him. Indeed, it is due to him to say that he has behaved most honorably In this respect, regarding the privileges oi of a flag of truce as too sacred to be vior lated. The facts then are these : —The “open letters of introduction” -which Sir James bore were from a far higher source than Dadley Mann. They were from Lord Pal merston, and, whether addressed to Jeff. Davis or not, were presented to him and served to give &U the sanction that Jeff desired to whatever communication Sir James made. That will shortly see the light- Although verbally made, it was of the highest possible importance to the reb« els, as, if accepted, it will virtually place the Confederate Slates under the protecto rate ot England. It has not yet been ac cepted. But after it was made, Messrs. Mason and Slidell were accredited by the rebel government as ministers to England and France, received their instructions, and sailed from Charleston a week ago to day, namely, on the 11th inst. On the 15th inst. these factß were known at the Stato Department in Washington, and on that day the Secretary of Slate is sued his proclamation to the Governors of all the States on the seaboard and lakee. This proclamation means more than it says. It implies that the negotiations that are now on foot between France, Spain and England on the one hand, acd the reb el States on the other, will result in For** eigu &id being furnished to the latter ; that an actual necessity oxists that our harbors and lako ports be put into & state of defenco immediately ; and that in all human probability wo shall have a Euro** pean war on our hands in lees than sixty days. This proclamation wiil be followed next week by ono from the War Depart* mont, the language and requirements of which will be still more explicit. Those Slates which have not yet furnished their quotas for the war will be required to do so forthwith. Such are the facts. When it is remembered in sdd Uon thereto, that tie Prince Camille de Polignac and five other French officers of high rahk are now Berving in the C mfederate army, with the approval of the Emperor Napoleon; that he has refused and forbidden officers in the French army from serving In the Un ion army; that the two sons oi the Prince deJoinvillc, tbe hereditary enemy of the reigning Emperor, have been givon com missions in our army ; and that it is not long since Napoleon declared that the South must .be recognized as Italy had been, it requires no great skill or punetra* lion to decido which way the Emperor fuels inclined. Finally, the lacl came to light yosterd&y that Messrs. Mason and Slidell are authorized to treat in England and Prance for a European protectorate over the South. do aged Black I'oionUU, The N. V. Tribune has invented this new name fur Iho thoS.ulh The Ex press alluding to its neighbor says: Tbo Tribune is acting a double part dai ly, in showing up in one article, that this war is not h war for Abolition, and in an« other, that if it is not, itcugbtto be. In de precates making such an issue, In one ar ticle, because that would divide the North and drive off Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, wh.le, in another, it makes that exact issue. From the Tribune. The Juumal of Commerce publishes a private letter from Kentucky from whihe we extract the following impressive state ment : “Discord, strife and enmity prevade all ranks of society. Tney havo entered the counting-room, the Bocial circle, tho fam ily circle, the school-house and the church; and where friendship and concord once ex isted, they have arrayed hUßband against wife, father against son, brother against brother, friend against friend. So untver rally is this the case thoroughout this State al present that the circle where disaffection does not exist forms an exception to the general rule. What will be the result of all this? Where or when will it end, God only knows. Truly, truly, we have fallen upon evil times. “Oan anybody suppuose that if the life efforts of Henry Clay had been suc cessful, so that Kentucky had become a Free State, such a state of things as is here described could now have existed there?— Slavery is the evil tree whioh bears such bitter and fatal fruits.” Why so? Civil war as often exists in Free, as in Slave States. Civil war was more terrible in free Franco than in slave Kentucky. Civil war was as frightiul in England between iho Cavaliers and the Soundheads, as in Kentucky between the Unionists and Disunionists. Civil war is the product of bad passion, bad' ambition, or of bad Government, —not of Slave States only. But, what impiety, almost, to desecrate the name of Clay, in connec tion with Abolition I At one time be wish ed to make Kentucky free, —but Northern Abolitionism turned him from his purpose by"affrighting the State with its” insurrec tionary ideas. Bread Biot in Paris. The high prices of bread continued to claim attention at Paris, and the govern ment had issued an assurance that the price would not be iurther advanced. On the first of Obtober, in the faubourg St. An toine, there was an assault made upon the bakers’ shops. ‘■Of cou-so there was a large assemblage of withered old women with their heads tied in fierce colored handkerchiefs, who were more violent than the men ; and one Jezebel, seizing a heavy sort of stick OBed by batchers to make tough meat tender, knocked down and killed an unfortunate policeman. Things were then considered bad enough for a more powerful interfer ence than that of a handful of sergeante deville, who were getting badly handled, and the troops quartered in that division of Paris were got under arms. The tumult then died out, for it will be long before a disorganized rabble again attempts a strag gle against the military. The Paris im provements have put an extinguisher on the head of King Hob, who, In case of a declaration of hostilities on his part against the powers that be, would find himself outflanked on every Bide, and the troops handled in a very different manner than that by which Marmont lost Paris.” Stray Shot. —It 1b with ideas as with pieces of money: those of the least value generally circulate most. A man, for being told the truth, thanks you the first time, votes you a bore the second, and quarrels with ypu the third. There ia no adhesive label HSe a nick name. The number of poor poets is, if anything, greater than the number of poets who are poor. GO NFESBION OFEBBORT The floundering of the Abolition press', the‘headland front of whioh is the New York Tribune, is well exposed, by the following Which we copy from the New York Express: “The history of this war, on the part of both Government and people, is little moro than a record of the discovery of mistakes and the rectification of “blunders Nobody is to blame. The press which supposed that the rebellion was a mere continuation of the system of bullying by whioh the South fiad. al ways won its victo ries, and the statesmen who fancied it could be quelled by waiting thirty, sixty, or ninety days, were equally honest, but havo been proved equally mistaken.” Exempt, if you please, everybody in the North that voted the anti-Republi can Tioket last November. None of us fell into any such blunders. “Among the most pernicious blunders which have embarrassed our warlike op erations, has been the blunder of underra ting the strength of the rebels. As a mat ter of course, we have overrated the strength of the loyal States. Iu estima ting the strength of the Oonfederate States, we have regarded Blaves as an ele ment of weakness, assuming the truth oi the old adage “so many slaves, so many enemies,” and forgetting that they can never be the enemies of thetr masters until they are treated as frienos by us; that at best, in their present position, they are but neutrals, and as bucH, an element of neither weakness nor strength to the enemy; and that, from the moment that our refusal to reoognize them as allies, or the desperate necessity of the rebellion compels the Confederate Government to appeal to thorn for help, Slavery becomes an element of positive and terrible strength." Exempt ub again from this blunder, too, as-to slaves. The Express record ed in tho last Presidential campaign, over and over again,—that in Greece and Rome, both, slavery was an ele ment of great military power,—a fortio ri, in the United States, where the slaves-were distinguished from their masters by the ineffaceable line of col or. The reason is clear: War breeds despotism; slavery is the best organ ized despotism, and already existing for the war. Masters are free to fight: slaves to raise produce for masters to consume. But the Tribune blunders now, as even before in supposing that preaohiug “insurrection” weakens slavery, or slaveholders, —whereas on the contrary, it inspires and infuriates them. See what swarms Fremont conjured up in Missouri by his silly proclamation 1 The .Bwarms are not done swarming yet 1 Every man rushes like a madman to save his wife and family from “insur rection,” Fremont has just tried the experiment of insinuating insurrection, and the experiment, in men and mon ey, ought to bd satisfactory. But the Tribune cyphers! Mr. Hickman calculated 18,831,329 in the Free States, can overpower 8,448,741 in tho Slave States. But this “Was based on the supposition of tho neutrality of the slaves. This is a delusion now, and will prove a greater and more fearful delusion as tho war proceeds. It is now practically, eigh teen millions to twelve millions. But we may better Mr. Hickman’s formula, and make it twenty-two millions to eight millions, or thereabout, if we please. To one complexion or the other it must come at last.” Live and learn! Hickman was a blunderer, oven the Tribune, once so applauding, now sees 1 But the Tri bune is running into bigger blundering yet. “Slave* botween the ages of fifteen and sixty are regarded as able bodied, for working or fighting. There were in 1850, between these ages, 816,426 male slaves.— In 1860, calculating tho increase in the same proportion as ' the increase of Ihe whole slave population, there were, 1,019,- 281. Every one of these men is now at work, supporting the families of the rebel soldiers, or performing the exhausting labor of the trenches and tho drudgery of tho camp, which Northern “mudsills,” in our armies, have to do for themselves. In Maryland, there are 22,000 of these able, bodiod male slaves. There were in Vir ginia, in 1850, 121,664 able-bodied male slaves; to-day there are 126,000, and 14,000 able-bodied free colored men— l4o,ooo men helping support the rebel armies, if not actually helping to constitute the rebel armies. Supposing we permitted them to work for us? or supposing we should wel come them within our lines, instead of sending them back to report of our fiag that it is the emblem of oppression." Suppose you could catch them to work with you! Suppose you could get near enongh “to welcome” them to come to you !. Suppose, if you oould do all this, would they come to you ‘l Tho fundamental error of all the Abo litionists is, iu supposing The slaves will fight against their masters, —or not fight for them, if arms are put in their hands. The Abolitionists have no suoh enemies on earth, as ninety-nine in a hundred of the slaves of the South. But the Tribune will learn as it has been learning. In 1862, it will “pro gress,” as from the Hickman false light of 1860, to the wiser light of 1861. How Southerners are Kept Mao.— They have a story In Biohmond that General Howard, an old gentleman, the candidate for Governor, and his son, Mr- F. Howard, were taken from their beds and from the sides of their wives, be" tween one and two o’clock on Thursday morning, by a file of soldiers, who wound ed with their bayonets Mr. Howard’s little son, six years old, and so ill treated Mrs. Howard that she died on the Sun day following. Mr. Lincoln thought “she was served too well, and declared that the wives and brats of traitors deserved to be threaded on red hot jack chains!” To the suffering ohildren and wives of his viotims he replies to their request lo be permitted to see their parents with a refusal couched in obscene and brutal language or with some filthy jest that could not be put upon paper. News Items- A monument has been inaugurated lately at Dives, on the coast of Norman dy (Prance), erected “To the memory of the greatest historic event in the an nals of Normandy—the departure of William the Bastard for the Conquest of England, in 1066.” The monument is a cylindrical monolith on a quads rangular base.

Paris, October 4, 1861. it is a cheering fact that the cause of the American Union is fast gaining ground in the minds of the French people, and in < the expression of opinion from the press Tbe Journal des Debats of yesterday and 1 Iho day before contained two long articles from tbo pen of Edouard Laboulaye upon American affairs, more true to facts, more cordial and thoroughgoing on the side of freedom and the Union, than anything 1 have seen from tbe French press. 1 should like to bog every word of those articles translated, that we might see how appre ciating and influnentiai a friend wo have hero. M. Laboulaye is well known as a member of tbe Ineiitate, and an earnest and liberal writer—almost too liberal, one would think, fur the Debats —and I was somewhat surprised to meet him in those columns. Under tbe heading of a roview of two works on America, Coant Gasparin's Grand Nation qui se releve, and a work by M Xavier Eyina. he takes up the question of tho great crisis in its moral &Dd political aspects, and writes with a conscientious ness and earnestness which seem to indi cate strong sympathies towards us, and a familiar acquaintance with a number of our most influential writers and statesmen. Ho quotes a long and eloquent passage from a sermon of Dr. Bellows, of last April. He cites Henry C. Carey and Charles Sumner, and has a good deal to pay ab -ut and a good deal to copy from Theodore Parker. Ho alludes to Chan ging, Mrs. Stop, Clay, Gaboon, Webster, John Wesley, Hunter oi Yirgini —knows all about the Dred Scott case, and even the marriages of ‘William and Eilen Crafts.— He sols bis Fronch readers right aboat mailers very 1<- * ely understood h ro, and declares that American civilization is not a civilization tu.»g bom, and half barbar ous, but very advanced. “The soil,” he fiayß, “is i.pw, but the society is old.” He' traces tho crisis u> its Puurce, slavery; and maintains that tho whole world, which Is one family, has tho do-pcst interest in the success of our cause In the second article bo takes up the political bearings of the question; shows the lolly and injustice of secession—the impossibility of division into two republics, and maintains that it ii ihe duty and interest of Europe to en« courage us in preserving the Union. Theie is also a very sound aritcle from Al.. Julf in the Press of yesterday, showing how tbe oligarchy of tho South had for a long time been maturing the rebellion, which came to a head on the election of Mr. Lincoln —nn j speaks very encourag ingly for the future. “The division of the States,” says M. Juif, “into two or more republics, whether by force or by mutual consent, would mark the end of the Amer ican republic.” Much of the high tide of opinion on the American question is doubtless due to the course proposed by Fremont with regard to slavo emancipation—a measure, it seems, likely to prove abortive from conflicting counsels on this most complicated question. Tbe administration must, of course, follow the wishes of the people. But the people cf the United States may be sure that only in proportion as they make this war a war of abofitition of slavery will they meet with sympathy from Europe. ggy Secretary Seward has been doing the handsome thiDg with one of our colored fellow citizens, and Mr. Gerald Ralston, the noted colonizstionist, writes to Lord Brougham a letter relating to it. He says : “I have great pleasure In informing your Lordship that the decision ol the Federal Court in the ‘Lred Scot’ case is practically annulled by the present government of Washington. I have before me the pass port granted to Rev. Henry H. Garnet, a black man of note, and of great distinction among the negroes of New York, given by Wm. H tie ward, the Secretary of State, dated Washington, August 26, 1861, in which the Secretary requests ‘all whom it may concern to permit safely and freely to pass Henry H. Garnet, a citizen of the United States, and in case of need to give him all lawful and protection.’ This pass port is impressed by the seal of the De partment of State, and Bigned by the Secre tary of State, in the eighty-sixth year of the independence of the UniLed States.” “Kit North” —a competent judge of the oase —wrote in Blackwood that “no strong-bodied, str jug-minded, strong-hearted man reaches his true prime until he is turned of forty; and he keeps on till he is sixty; being probably at seventy threatened with a small family by a second or third wife.” HULLIHEN’S HUhLIHEN’S HULLIHEN’B PARISIAN TOOTH PASTE, PARISIAN TOOTH PABTE PARISIAN TOOTH PASTE, Prepared from the original recipe by Dr- Breot lingpr, of Wbeeing, and recommended by Dr. J.
