BANK COMMISSIONERS

Various propositions relating to the better secu-

been introduced in the Senate, to create Board

meet once a month for the purpose Of enquiring
into the suficiency of al banking securities. de.

found insufficient by such Commissioners. addi-

declared to have forfeited The privileges and imu

Similar provisions relating to additional bank
securities already exist, and the proposed law only
changes the power of determining the character

On the question ofseuding a Committee to Wash

The Great Naval Expedition.
IHc UTtdt NdVdI EXpedItIOn'
Full Account Of the Prepare
tiOnS--Materials of the EXpe-
ditiOn---Inmense Forces to
operate Against the Insur-
gentS---Numbc of Vessels and
Men Engaged In the Service.

The New York Post says 1t has been
known for some time to the public that
a vast naval expedition was preparing to
sail for some unknown point on the
Southcn coast. At the request of the
Government and of General Mcclellan,
the newspapers of this and other cities
gave their promise to permit no state
nlents to appear in their columns con-
corning the great preparations under
way until all was completed, and, by the
sailing of the feet, the necessity for
secresy was removed. The Hampton
Roads correspondent of the New York
Times gives news of the sailing of the
expedition, and his statement that he
has "thc fullest concurrence of the
authorities " to print all the particulars
within his knowledge of the expedition,
of course releases the remainder of the
press from an obligation that was COM
mon to all.
We therefore give below an interesting
account of the great naval expedition,
carefully collected by orr reporters, who
have watched every step of the prepara-
tons, and gathered as many details as
was possible with the restricted privile-
ges granted to the press.
1t will be found that the Southern
expedition is on Il scale more vast than
anything of the kind heretofore attempted
OH this continent, at least; and that,
from the completeness of its outfit and
skill of the men to whom the command is
entrusted. we may hope for severe
blow at the insurgents in their weakest
spot.
Where the blow is to fall is known
only to the Government and to the COM
mander-in-cbief of the expedition. 1t
wss unknown to every one but General
Sherman-the captains of the different
ships sailing with sealed orders, which
were not to be opened till they got into
a certain latitude and longitude. 1t is
probable, therefore, that the insurgents
will know before we do where the land
ing are to be effected.
With the object of the expedition we
have for the present nothing to do. But
OF its composition we are permitted to
speak, now that it has got safely to sea.
The expedition is the joint work Of the
Navy aud War Departments. 1t was
meant to have been ready by the middle
Of September; and the Navy Depart
mcnt had its vessels ready then. 1t was
however, impossible to get ready the
immense material of the expedition by
that time and though everybody con-
cerncd worked most diligently, it was
only on October 18th that the tranports
were laden, and the final shipment OF
troops ready to be begun.
The expedition consists of the follow
