THE PORT ROYAL EXPEDITION-ITs EFFECTS ON
| COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS AT THE NORTH
zion" the we'll known special Washington
| correspondent of the Sun, under date of the
| 18th, says
The success OF the naval expedition and the
probability OF the speedy opening of two or
| more cotton ports on the Southern coast, has
| had an electrical effect upon financial and DO
! litlcal affairs ut the North. Confidence in gov
| eminent securities and in future business op-
| erations has been greatly increased The
| Government Will be thus enabled to obtain
| loans 1or the support of the war, and 4 fresh
! impulse Will be given TO recruiting for the
/ Federal army.
! Accounts from the Northern cities show
/ that the war is not much felt there that
| many are making fortunes out of IT, and tina I
| the people, as a mass, would not consent TO a
peace, except upon the conditions alluded 10
by Gen. Scott in his recent address TO public
! bodies IN New ork, to wit: the triump oh of
the Union arms and an honorable adj us tment
| OF national difficulties. The belief prevalent
! In the South, that there will be such Il speedy
| reaction Northern sentiment upon the sub
| Ject as Will 1orce Il peace, is evidently erro-
! neous.
! 1t Is understood that great efforts will be
| made by The Government, with the appro-
| h9
| establishment, TO render the blockade of the
| Southern coast effective, and to send ex.
| pedlilons against important and assailable
! point.
! The heads of departments, bureaus. etc.
| have made some progress, II is said, in pre-
pairing their reports, and the President in
| preparing his message to Congress, will be
able TO present a more favorable view of
| things than he could have done a few weeks
| ago. Bat the interval between this time and
! the meeting of Congress may be full OF i'm
| portant events, that will have an impor-
| tant bearing upon the course of the Govern
| ment.
| There will be at the ensuing session some
! opposi uon to the present tariff, but 1t will
! not avail. The importing interest will ask
| an entire restoration Of the warehouse sys-
| tenn. as IT IL stood under the tariff 1857.
| CHARACTER OF THE BEAUFORT BaTTLE-yALrE OF
THE DAHLGREN GUNS.
aga smother correspondent of the Sun,
dated Washington lith inst, comments thus
| OF the engagement off Port Royal:
| Much interest is felt 10 know what armed
vessels were actually engaged against the
| battteri in front of Beaufort Com. Dupont
| speaks OF the Sabine, the Savannah, and the
| st. Lawrence AS not being in the action. He
! does not name what vessels other than the
Wabash is great guns were engaged, but
| the list published III Government organs lust
| on The eve Of the departure of the fleet showed
steam frigates, sailing vessels, aud gun
| boats, in all carrying some four hunored
| guns.
1t is considered in military circles that the
