NEW YORK, Ocr. 30.
(Per Arabia, Boston and Liverpool.)
The New York Herald of the 29th inst. states
that the objects expected to be realised from the
great naval expedition, which sailed on that day,
are fourfold :

First. To carry the war into the cotton States,
which are chiefly responsible for the rebellion, and
by doing so to produce the disorganisation and dis-
persion of the immense rebel army now collected in
Virginia.
Second. To secure winter quarters for our troops
and harbours of refuge for our naval and mercan-
tile marine.

Third. To open one or more Southern ports to
commerce, and thus satisfy all demands and obviate
all difficulties about the supply of cotton and the
efficacy of the blockade ; and
Fourth. To form nuclei in those rebel States near
which the long-suppressed loyalty and good sense
of the people may find safe and appropriate ex-
pression, and to encourage and stimulate this re-
actionary feeling, of which we have seen such a
remarkable and encouraging manifestation in Rath
Carolina.
Mr. Memminger, the secretary of the Confederate
treasury, has issued a circular, dated Richmond,
October 17, relative to the produce loan and the
I appeal of the cotton planters for relief. Mr. Mem-
imager, in the name of the cabinet, declines to grant
any relief, either by the purchase of the cotton crop
or an advance upon its hypothecated value. He
declares that the Sodth being now engaged in a
gigantic war, needs money, and not planters' notes
or produce, nd explains that what the government
requires is a loan from the planters secured by trea-
sury notes, which now form the currency of the
Confederate States. He advises the planters to
apply to the banks for relief, and recommends them
to apply themselves in future to the cultivation of
grain and other products rather than to that of
cotton.

The following resolutions, offered in the Southern
Commercial Convention at Macon, were tabled upon
the motion of General Duff Green, wbo declared
that they were so fatal to northern commerce with
the South, so destructive of all hope of New York
again participating in the importation of goods into
the South, that to pass them would be to prolong
the war ; that these resolutions, in fact, would
make say adjustment with the North impossible,
and prevent any reconstruction of the commercial
and financial conventions between the North and
South. The resolutions were :
1. To place a dismantle, duty of twenty per cent. on all
foreign goods imported into the Coafederate States, through
or for account of Northers parties, foss period of tee years.
2. To place • direct "111000111 tax" upon all Northern es-
chew, or bills payable there, for a eimiler period.
3. Itmomemndiag banks and merchaste of the Jouthers
State' to mike all oar cotton produce bills accepted payable

The New York Hawld states that Garibaldi has
written the following letter to the United States
consul at Antwerp :

Capron, Sept. 10.

My dear Sir,—l new Mr. Sandford, ;ad regret to be
obliged to announce to you that I shall not be able to go
to tie United States at present. Ido not doubt of the
triumph of the cause of the Union, and that shortly ; but
if the war should unfortunately continue in your beautiful
country, I shall overcome all obstacles which detain me,
and hasten to the defence of a people who are dear to me.
G. OAWALDI.

To Mr. Quiggle, United States Consul at Antwerp.
Advisee have been received from San Francisco
to the 25th inst. by the Overland Pacific Telegraph.
On the 21st innt. the steamer Orizaba sailed for
Panama, having on board a million dollars in
treasure.

(From the Radienond Wid9.)
All the indications point toe long war. At one time we
had hoped that the dash—the clan—of our volunteers an-
restrained, but simply guided by able generals, would have
planted our banDers' before frost, in the heart of the enemy's
country, and conquered an honourable peace. But a differ-
ent policy has obtained. We of the South, who ware to
attack, have adopted a system of defence, and, so fez, have
uniformly awaited the advance of the foe. This may Le the
safer policy ; but we have been able to appreciate it.
Oar conviction is, that a victorious advance into the enemy's
co airy is the only road toe lastiag and honourable peace.
We must fight, and we must conquer, before we can make a
treaty. If we cannot do this we must submit to the
fat* of the weaker party. The enemy have domioiou
of the sea ; he can assail us at almost lemons-
table points ; be can plunder our coasts and penetrate
our rivers. He is supreme in the Chesapeake Bay ;he
commands the Potomac; he has possession of Marylsod,
of North-western Virginia, and is contending for Missouri
and Kentucky. While be threatens our whole comet, he
may snail us at say point of our extended (emitter. This
whole situation must be altered before we can have peace
on any terms compatible with honour and safety.
We have never heard of any plan suggested for effecting
this desirable alteration abort of carrying the war into the
enemy's country. While we stand on the defensive, and
the enemy is intreeched on this side of the Potomac, it is
impuesdde for us to destroy his supremacy at sea. ar pre-
vent his predatory incursions on our coast. We are sub-
jected to all the disadvantages of a defensive war of inde-
finite duration or to a peace dictated by the enemy. The
possibility of our success is not within the range of acci-
dent. To prevent our subjugation or exterminations all
we can hope for.
We have no skill ie strategy, and know nothing of
the means at the command of our generals; but if this
is all that is left to us, we may as well be looking oui for
terms of submission, and the sooner the better. An sodium
war which affords no opportunity for either victory or
revenge is a bootless undertaking.
The Southern people who have offered themselves nail
their all for the prosecution of this war, and who have re-
posed implicit (menden°e in the men entrusted with its
conduct, have looked for something better. It is not to be
disguised that a sense of uneasiness and distrust is gradually
supplanting that generous confidence. A suspicion is
gaining ground that all the advantages of our position have
not been profited by an they might have been ; that the
war hos not been prosecuted with the vigaur and energy
demanded by the emergency. We hear mutterings and
complaiuta apart from those connected with the quarter-
master, commissary, and inelical departments, growing out
of the appointment of so many civilians to high commands.
Many of these appointments have filled the country with
apprehensions of some great disaster.
