The various rumors relative to the safety of the
great naval expedition are based upon mere conjec
are. IL IS impossible that any news of disaster
having occurred to the squadron from the gale of
Saturday, even if it was true, could have reached
any point and hence the alarm which seems to have
taken hold of some timid people at Wash
ington on Saturday, was entirely with
out cause. The last authentic accounts
we have from the feet was on Wednesday
morning, when they were seen off Hatteras in fine
order, and enjoying splendid weather vessel
bound for Philadelphia, which spoke them at that
time, reports through her captain that she ex-
perienced no gale until Friday, when she arrived
as far north as the Delaware breakwater, hence
the expedition must have been entirely out Of its
influence, and is no doubt perfectly safe.

The Two FAST CANDIDATEs.-We notice
that Raymond, of the Times, and James Lynch,
of Varian's battery Bull run fame, are still in
the field, and the friends of each are Boosting
that they will run in. This may be the case.
We know that both are good runners, and have
tested their powers in the running line. The
former has run away from two battle fields,
making good time on each occasion, and the
latter fed from Bull run the moment that
he mistrusted there would be fight, and
earned for himself, on account of his speed, the
title of "Bull run Jimmey." Although they are
both down on the books as speedy runners
when there is any danger about, yet we villa
not believe that the people of this city will en-
dorse either until we see the result of the cleo
ton,

SMITH O'BRIEN AND THE AMERICAN REBEL.
LToN.-Mr. Smith O'Brien seems determined to
let the world know that he still lives, although
there no longer remains the prospect of his ever
being King of Ireland He has just published in
Dublin newspaper a long letter, in which he
deprecates the views of his countryman, Thomas
Francis Meaghcr, who he is sorry to learn is an
advocate of the war against the South, and en-
deavors to show that, even supposing the
North to be successful, it would not be able to
keep the conquered States in subsection. Mr..
OBrien. however, with great show of magma
nimity, offers his own valuable services in the
capacity Of mediator between the belliecrent
parties, to assist in the restoration OF peace
This last is really very kind of the hero Of
the Widow Malones cabbage garden; but
he must not be disappointed if his generous
overtures meet with no response on this side Of
the Atlantic. With regard to his conclusions
respecting the war in the United States, we are
very much surprised that man Of Mr.. O'Brien's
experience should not have known better. He
has himself been the leader of rebel
lion; and how did that end? When he
speaks of the North even if successful,
not beirg able to keep the South in subsection,
he overlooks great example to the contrary
at home. Was not the Irish rebellion put
down by England, and is not Ireland held in
subsection very easily by the same Power? 1t
strikes us that Mr.. O'Brien is wilfully blind,
or else that he thinks the blaeker he paints the
picture Of the future Of this struggle the
greater the probability of his becoming deli
verer of America. Poor man In either case
he will do nothing more than freshen the pub
lie memory upon subject which contradicts
his own argument, and ought to have taught
him knowledge in which he appears to be still
wanting. 1t is only fools, says an old adage,
that never profit by experience.

Tricks OF THE ABoLIrIONIsTs.-At the Mozart
Hall ratification meeting, on Friday evening last
certain Mr. Chatfeld managed to be made chair
man. Who put him there, or how he got into
the place Of presiding officer of that Assem-
blage does not appear; but that it was under
most anti Union, unpatriotic auspices, is evident
Probably our abolitionist neighbors Of the Iai-
b,ue and Times had him struggled in, in order
to transfer loyal sympathies and votes from
candidates who deserve support to men who
belong to the faction which, for quarter of a
century, has labored to destroy American ma
tionality. Mr.. Chatfed's speech would, in fact,
have produced most injurious effect had not
the Mayor come in, just at the nick of time, and
upset his secessionist theories. Mr.. Wood de-
clared that he approved Of the course of the
administration, in the present war; that it had
done all that men could do to suppress rebel
lion; and called upon good citizens to sus-
tain it in its endeavors to restore the integrity
Of the Union. Chairman Chatfield was annihi-
lated by his vigorous eloquence, and the whole
meeting endorsed the patriotic sentiments of the
Mayor. Abolitionist journals have striven as
was prcarranged, to father on Mozart Hall, and
| the Mayor, tho reasonable sentiments Of Mr..
Chatfield but the enthusiastic cheers with which
tho speech Of Mr.. Wood was greeted showed
abundantly that patriotic feeling generally
prevailed.

GREELEY on RAYMoND's LEGISLATIVE QuAILFt-
CArToNs.-Greeley, in Saturdays Tribune, opens
out on Raymond and the Times in the following
Observation-Disclosures is not the trait Of that
journal. We are not surprised that it charges
us (11ib,ue) with stealing what even theft will
not help it to-this it seeming to consider the
readiest way Of getting public documents"
Yet, in the face Of this accusation at the bottom
of the same column, the Tribune has para
graph urging the election of Raymond to the
Legislature for his ability. We infer that the
Tribune means on account of his ability to steal
and his experience in "theft," since those are
the qualifications given to Raymond by the TSi
ley considers requisite for an Albany legislator.

WHERE ARE Our STRONG MINDED WOMEN
Now?-But very short time ago, there was no
end to the clamorous caterwauling of the
would-be heroic females, some of them in short
dresses and long pantalocns, who hungered and
thirsted after their share in the management Of
the white and black interests of the nation.
What has become Of them all? Who're have
they gone to- Why do they not form them
selves into great Amazonian brigade, and
bear their part in the fatigues and tolls of the
present war; Or, if they are not quite able to
fight, why, at least. do they not take their
places in the hospitals, and around the ambu-
lances, which are the necessary accompaniment
Of armies and Of battles? Let them go, all Of
them, to the seat of war and bind up wounds,
soothe the sick, and make themselves useful in
the hour of their country's need.

Mr. CHASE IN New YoRK-FINANcIAL MEA-
suREs or THE GovERNMENT.-It is stated IN some
obscure and ignorant journals of this city that
the Secretary Of the Treasury came on here to
arrange with the banks about the loan. There
is not a word Of truth in this assertion. Mr..
Chase is not in want of money just now; but
even if he were it would not be his policy to
enter into any fresh financial arrangements on
the eve probably of series of brilliant victo-
RES which will give him all the money he may
require on his own terms. The object of his
short visit here was simply to do honor to the
old hero, General Scott, on bis retirement from
the command of the army; and, that accom-
pished, lie Immediately returned to the per-
Torrance of his duties in Washington.
In connection with this subject we have to
notice the effect produced on the popular loan
by similar unfounded statements A short
time since the subscriptions to the loan
reached regularly million day. Since
the publication of Mr.. Stewards correspon-
dence with Lord Lyons, and Of his circu-
lar TO the Governors of the different
States on the harbor and lake defences,
they nave declined 10 ABOUT nail tnat
amount. There was nothing in the Ian
guage held by the Secretary of State to justify
either alarm or Encouragement. 1t would, on
the contrary, bnt for the cowardly comments of
the niger worsbTping journals, have inspired
increased confidence in the government There
can be no more convincing proof of this than
the astonishing alteration that has taken place
in the tone of the English official organs to-
wards the North. They have suddenly veered
round from position of vehement hostility to
depreciation Of any forcible interference in our
affairs This change is not the result of our
appeals to their good sense and fairness. It
has been brought about solely by the bold and
firm language held by Mr.. Lincoln through his
Secretary Of State, and adds another to the
many proofs we have had of the fact that when
John Bull is in bullying mood the best way
to deal with him is to bully back. The Presi-
dent pursued the right policy in showing the
ruling classes in England that we are no more
to be scared from our task of reconstructing the
Union by their ungcnerous sarcasms and
implied threats than were the people of France
by their bitter invectives and hostile combina-
tons when, after the first Revolution, they chose
to change the form Of their institutions

How TO END THE WAR WITH EcLAT-It is
pretty evident from General McClellan's recent
declaration to the Pennsylvania delegation,
that he era is approaching of sharp and decid-
ed conflict. We may soon look for battles. and
the overthrow of the Southern rebel armies; but
when this task is accomplished, about the best
thing that could be done would be for the adj
ministration to catch Messrs. Jefferson Davis,
Cobb, Floyd, Toombs and Wise on the one side,
and Garrison, Becker, Greeley, Checvcr and
Wendell Phillips on the other, and hang them
all up in a row together From the fanaticism

try, and the people would rejoice in seeing the

The TRIBUNE AND THE TINES ON THE HERALp.-
Our amable contemporaries of the Times and
Tribune still continue to repeat their assertions
that the HERALD has no influence, and that our
opposition to any candidate only secures his
election. If this is the real case, what is the
use Of their making so much fuss about us? We
certainly must please the Times and Tribune
under that Interpretation Of our influence, for
We always oppose their abolition and shoddy,

Our GRHXY NAVAL EXPEDITION AND THE
LATE NoR'EAsTER.-Some spprehensions are
entertained that our great naval expedition may
have been caught in and seriously damaged by
the late terrible Worcester which swept along
the seacoast, from Fortress Monroe 10 Nova
Scotia. Our opinion is, however, that the storm
had nothing 10 do with our great squadron
that it was one Of those storms which originate
at or this side Of Cape Hattcras, and push
along northward, gathering strength as they 60,
to greater or less distance and then slacken.
ing till exhausted. From our telegraphic me-
moranda Of several of our most violent winter
northeast storms Of the last ten years. it appears
that in not single instance can they be traced
below North Carolina; from which we
conclude that the seacoast south of
Cape Hatteras is governed by another
system Of storms. That tempestuous cape,
projecting far into the Atlantic, is the natural
dividing point between our Northern and South
ern seacoast, giving to the shore line Of each
section distinct conformation and, no doubt,
distinct system of winds, rains and tempests.
Upon this theory we entertain very strong
hope that the point where this late fearful storm
originated was far to the northeast from the
position Of our great squadron, and that the
first news upon the subject to Commodore Du-
pont will be from some steamer going down
to him from Fortress Monroe.
But, again: On Wednesday morning our
noble squadron was passed of Cape Hatteras,
under fair skies and going bravely southwark
This late dreadful storm came over Fortress
Monroe on Friday; so that when it came in from
the sea upon Hatteras on Thursday night our
feet was most probably some two hundred
miles off to the southwest, under favoring winds
and out of danger. At all events, SO strong is
this impression with us that we expect our first
tidings from Com. Dupont will be entirely salts

Our GREAT WARLKE SQUADRoN-WHrrrIEn
BouND-The general impression is, and the
general hope is, that the destination of our
great naval expedition is Charleston; but some
OF our wise astrologers, who profess to know
the plans of General Sherman and Commodore
Dupont, say that Bulls Bay some twenty-five
miles this side of Charleston, or the deep and
spacious harbor of Port Royal and Beaufort,
some nifty miles the other side Of Charleston,
Will be the point of debarkation of the land
forces under General Sherman. We, of course,
cannot tell whether the landing will be at the
one or the other, or at either of these places.
Bulls Bay has water enough, and is very
convenient to Charleston in the matter of dis
lance; but then Bulls Bay and Bulls Island are
danked on the mainland by an extensive
morass, bearing the fearful name of He'll Hole
Swamp; and God forbid that our brave Union
soldiers under Gen. Sherman should become en-
tangled among the boys and junglcs of He'll
Hole Swamp. Bulls Bay and Bulls Island,
moreover, have startling affinity in sound to
Bull run and Big Bethel, and Balls Bluff.
Notwithstanding all this however, while Bull
Bay would form o good temporary resting
place for our squadron, Bulls Island would
answer equally we'll fora temporary rendezvous
for our land forces; for there, against any
land forces of the enemy, our troops would be
protected by the gloomy morass of He'll Hole
Swamp.
But we should prefer the deep and spacious
inland waters of Port Royal, for they are con-
nected with good land communications to
Charleston, and are convenient to the great
railway which connects Charleston with Savan-
nah, and one between those two ports; SO that
| from Port Royal or Beaufort General Sherman
| and our fleet could strike at Charleston or
Savannah upon twentyfour hours notice But
speculations are superfuous, inasmuch as at
any moment we may receive some definite
intelligence of the arrival Of our great expedi
ton at its destination, and of the elevation oil

soil" of South Carolina

THE MARSHALL GRIDIRON ORGANTZATION.-Mr.
VIM. Allen Butler writes us letter, in which
he says, first, that the Marshall is an anti-rail-
road organization and its candidates anti-rail-
road men; and, second that the issue in this
election is not Albany legislation, but seces-
sion. AS to the first point, it is sufficient to say
that Isaac J. Oliver, noted railroad lobbyer,
controlled the Marshall legislative nominations;
that Chas. G. Cornell, Henry ]. Raymond and
Noah A. Childs are some Of the Marshall can
didates that the Broadway Railroad men
brought out and are working hard for this trio
of gridiron patriots, and are opposing Cozans,
Hardy and Young, who are as VIGOROUSLY OPP
posed to gridironng this city as Cornell, Childs
and Raymond are VIGOROUSLY leagued with
George Law in his railroading schemes. In re-
gard to his second statement Mr.. Butler is
equally mistaken. The question of secession is
settled in advance. All the candidates have
been forced upon the Union and war platforms;
and So as far as national issues are concerned
there is--except in the cases Of Raymond and
Lynch--very little to choose between them.
They all profess to be true to the Union, and
the real question is, how do they stand in re-
gard to legislative jobs? We cannot afford to
have our pockets picked by q man because he
wears Union badge, Mr.. Butler. If You and
all other honest men will consider this matter
calmly we shall strip these fellows, who cry
