And Publish the Lists Of Killed
and Wounded,

And in fact not omit any information
that san interest the very large number Of
readers of the Weekly Leader.
Notwithstanding the war monopolizinp
necessarily SO large share of our columns,
we intend to devote HOeral space to the
details of other news of the day, and also
not omit the literary and miscellaneous
matter which has always made the LEADER
a pleasant companion in the family circle.
The LEADER will increasingly advocate the
right and the duty of the Government to
protect and defend ITSELF and to employ un-
limited means for the accomplishment of that
end. 1t will, as it ever has done, wage de-
termined war upon whatever is opposed to
the principle of civil and Religious Liberty.
The Proprietors Of the LEADER have made
definite arrangements for the year 1862, by
which they trust the paper will become even
more of a necessity to the people of Northern
Ohio than ever before. Full Iels Eraphic re-
ports (tOr which they pay more than any
other paper in Ohio out of Cincinnati, J viii

from tle hlcumOuQ enquirer NOV.
Our summary of news from the North is Of
more interest to-day than usual The sail
ing orders of the great Naval Expedition will
attract especial attention. Speculation will
500 be at an end and perhaps before these
lines are printed the telegraph will tell US
where the blow has fallen. After reading
the orders, however, we cannot Join in the
opinion which TO some extent prevails, that
the contemplated landing is intended on any
comparatively secluded or undefended spot
If this giant force Is to take possession Of
soD2e sand bar or msrshy island, o. sea coast
village, why such strict injunction that the
expedition should sail in a body, end the SOL
diers land in such heavy array, snd with the
adInonition that their courage will be testedl
If we judge these orders by the ordinary rule,
and in connection with the Northern boasts
thst a terrible blow is to be struck, and at
our very Vitsls, we cannot but conclude that
1t iB expected to debark either in the vicinity
Of B srong Confederate amy or Of large
Confederate city. Applying these tests, Pen
saODla, Charleston, Savannah ard New Or
leans, are the points which presents them
selves 10 our mind. There is something so
absurd in the injunction to keep the ezpedi-
ton close together, and to land in long
line of boats, and with elaborate psreprstions,
for the purp pose OF capturing Sand Point or
Mosquito Bar, or Alligator Inlet that it is
difficult to conceive that the Northern Gen
erals would thus make themselves ridicul-
GUS.
If the expedition attempted to land at an
important point we hope that our force
would be sufficient for their repulse. If
among the pines and swamps, thsy will have
committed & great folly, and injured them
selves, not US. We are not, however, with
out other hopes. The winds have bsen howl
ing, and the clouds have been pouring out
their floods. We confess, the blsst Of the
storm has sounded in our esrs Ike sweet
music. Il has made US think Of the Spanish
armada, that sailed in great pomp, on grand
design, but was dispersed by the Einds and
vanouished without meeting an enemy
Who knows but that stormy Hatt0rss was
created for such q time as this2 Who can
tell but that the rocks and sands of the Flor
ida coast shall prove the instruments of
Providence 70 punish the Wickedness Of man?
The grand feet sailed On Tuesday, the 29th.
On Friday afternoon the storm commenced.
Three days had thus elapsed. Where the
feet had got TO; whether the storm there
riged, and whether it claimed its prey, we
have yet 70 learn.
But whether BY the winds Of Eeaven, or
by the blessing Of Heaven or Southern valor,
we trust soon to be able to announce that the
feet which sailed from Hampton roaas Is a
feet that shall never more return. Unless. in
deed, under another flag.

part Of the rebels, that 1--WE should be sorry

70 thia hope upon the part of the rebels, their
refusal 70 bring their cotton to their sea ports,

From the Steam Shipping Journal we take
description of vessels to be built for the
Atlantic trade:
The Transatlantic Express Steamship
Company, forming to run improved Great
Essterns to New York under seven DAYS. but
only half the tunnage of the big shin. have
the experience of Brunei and Russell as their
guide. The new steamers will be 600 feet
in length, 75 feet breadth, and 300 feet il
depth from the upper deck to the keelson.
On the spar.deck will be grand saloon,
under the hurricane deck, 500 feet in length,
with l64 state rooms entering into it. The
sides will be the longitudinal partitions
springing from side keelsons. The breadth of
the saloon will be rs feet and height 10 feet
6 inches. The draught of water will be IT
to Is feet; 30 that from the load line to the
top of the hurricane deck will % feet 6 in
cbes. From the water level to the upper
deck will be twelve feet, and then feet bull
Wsrks. The ships will be built in three wa
ter tight longitudinal bulkheads from bow to
stern, which will give them enormous
strength. This structure converts the ships
below the load line to perfect tabular divi-
5iOust ldhAuB Tue AOIl1 VI tuEbo ulBuuCL SHIPS.
In addition to the fore and aft bulkheads, the
inte.cepting cross partitions will afford addi-
tiOnal security, and give altogether fifty
water-tight compartments, so that the vessel
will Le nearly unsinksble.
The nominal horse power of the engines
will equal the Great Eastern's, although the
ships will not be more than half her tunnage.
Il is estimated that their total displacement
will be rather over 900 tons, and that the
midships, or greatest section of displacement
will be near upon 1900 square feet. When
loaded, they will draw eighteen feet or nine
feet less than the Great Eastern, and alto
gether their depth Of hold will be % feet
less. From their light draught Of water and
displacement, coupled with an indicated
horsepower four times their nominal, or g.
coo, ii is confidently affirmed by the promot-
ers and patentees that a maximum speed of
thirty statute n lies will be attained; bat for
the sbiect sought 70 be gained-namely,
making the passage from Bristol TO New York
in less than seven days-a1 average of sew
enteen knots only is requisite.

We are not furnished by "PerSOnne" with
any Interpretation of this ''quaint yet deli
CATE parable and hardly know the fair
donors hidden meaning. Was she speaking
in the name Of the rebels at large, and urg-
ing an emancipation from the tolls that now
compass then round abOut1 Did she ask to
let thsm out from their want and suffering,
from their desperate condition Of victory or
disgraceful deab2 Did she, personating the
rebels see herself shut in BY Gordon of forts
and bsyonsts from the Potomac to the Mis-
souri, the long line presenting an impsns-
trable barrier to any hope Of Northern con-
quest while q white-winged, but irOn-throat-
ed feet lay In ambush at every port or inlet
to pounes upon her if she attempted to escape
BY the sea2 Did she, still Personating the
rebel body polite, feel herself in the coils of
q monster anaconda, whose folds were grow
ing more close and sitting every hour, and
from whose embrace she would gladly be 'let

Or, narroWing her sphere, 6ss she speak
ing for the few rebel leaders who, having
plunged the country into war, and having
seen theft Visions Of golden skies fade away
into tie blackness Of thundercload Of ma
tiOnzl wrath, seek to escape the fury of It's
breaking7 Did she, IN their name, piteOusly
implors dsliverance Of the General7
Or With the sympathy inherent in the
fsmsle breast, did she plead tie cause Of the
poor asihroned King Cotton, shut up in dark
ahsds and tied down in deserted warehouses,
With no hope Of seeing his sceptrs restored to
him7 Did she look with amazement and
terror at ihs philosophy With which his loss
20 the world was noted; at the earnest efforts
to supply bis plaee from regions haunted BY
no black curse Of slavery; at the refusal of
the nations Of the earth to risk the terrible
calsnides Of war for the sake of possessing
him fsE weeks or months earlier than they
are sure to do By the success Of the national
arms1 Ifso, let Us hope the view did her
good. ia, -,.e
