OTTO NAVAL EXPEDITION.
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.

4 ‘ Camp nbabFalls Ohubcu, 1
October s 2o r 1861. J
Mb. 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.

England and Prance—War with the
United States.
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.

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.”

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"

morning, by a file of soldiers, who wound

little son, six years old, and so ill treated
Mrs. Howard that she died on the Sun

was served too well, and declared that
the wives and brats of traitors deserved
to be threaded on red hot jack chains!”

Correspondence of the Evening Post.
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.”
