ganiEe and mSuage. Bnt this has been
done by the Secretary Of the Navy and his
associates, and feet Of seventy vessels
already holds the most important harbSr
of the Insurgents. We might refer, also,
TO the success of our financial manage
ment, but that is too well known and COR
daily approved by the whole community
10 need comment.
All this is but an indication of the Ger
tain issues of the future.
This grand expedition, whose success at
Beaufort seems TO be confirmed by our
dispatches to-day from rebel sources, orig
mated exclusively in the Navy Department,
! to which the credit of the enterprise-of
the enormous difficulties overcome and the
incalculabIe advantages likely to be
conducts the military advance, WAS scarce.
| " apprised Of the nature of his duties until
the hour Of his rmbarkht Both be and
tbe other army Officers engaged, however,
have co-operated With The designs of Mr..
Wslles with cheerful good will aud energy
General Burnside and others, who are
charged with Similar expeditions, lend
similar assistance, and whatever good is
accomplished by the combined exertioas
ofsthe army and navy will be tie common
glory of the whole SERVICE On this, as on
other points, the Administration is harmo-
nious, aud means to labor with all the zeal
aud force It can command for thespeediest
suppression of the revolt.
I'VE have spoken of other expeditions,
and we may add, without betraying con-
ideuce, that the sally against Hatteras was
but the first ofa series otnaval onslaughts
upon the Southern coasts. This Beaufort
armada was the second, and others are to
follow as rapidly US the circumstances re-
.quire. Some of the dispatches speak OF
the probability of our forces making their
way inland to Charleston. But we doubt
whether this will be attempted at present
The principal object of the movement has
been TO acquire secure naval station at
the South, where our fleets might rendez-
vous, and where the army could entreneh
itself to possess n grand base of Ultimate
operations. Beaufort once impregnably in
our possession, il would not be difficult To
threaten both Charleston and Savannah,
so us to force them to keep large armies
for their defence. In the meanwhile their
harbors will he effectunily closed. An eX
pedition is now prepared, it it has not al
ready sailed, which will seal those cities
beyond all peradvcnture to the entrance or
exit OF every future Theodora or Nash
Vile
In addition to the above, we are permit
ted to state that aOtilla of thirty vessels
is now in this port, armed, manuel and
ready to sail for the Gulf of Mexico, where
it will perform such service rs its own acts
will in due time disclose. The vessels are
peculiarly fitted by size, draught of water
aud armament for 'harassing the coast of
Louisiana and Alabama. Commodore Hol-
Inns, who was so inflated by his little lcci'
dental success at the Southwest Pass, may
have better opportunity yet for display
ing skill Nor VIII this enterprise ex
haust the Iabors of the Navy Department
which means to inflict one blow after an
other until the rebels shall learn the full
power of the government they have deri-
ded and provoked.
Nor will the Government hesitate in the
policy to be pursued in these Southern
campaigns. 1t sends its troops forward
tosrestore the Union, to maintain the in
tegrity ofthe nation and re-estabiish its
authority; whatever stands in the way OF
those great ends will be prostratcd; the
vigor and vindictiveuess of the rebels
have made the war of necessity an of
feusive one now; and the strong and weak
places of the insurgent power will be as
sailed by the heaviest blows, without re
gard to other consequences than the specify
Termination of the existing conflict. We
have already played long enough with n
revolt the earnestness and extent of which
we scarcely conceived At the outset, bu
whose determined, relentless character we
now understand.
