The BUTLER ExPEDlTIoN.-The New York
Herald of Thursday thus descourses upon a
subject about which it knows nothing:
The naval expedition which sailed from
Fortress Monroe continues to be an object of
curiosity, its destination, in part, being a
mystery. The ships-of war took with them
in tow several hulks for the purpose of sink
ing them in the entrances to the inlets on the
North Carolina coast, so as to prevent the
ingress or egress of the privateers, and thus
to deprive them of the power of taking in
their prizes or OF finding shelter for them
selves when pursued by our armed vessels.
Beyond this, at present. we are not permitted
to be specific in our statements as to the OBJ.
jects of the expedition. We may, however,
say that the sinking of the hulks is not the
only object, and that our readers will proba-
bly, soon learn that series of naval opera
tions all along the Atlantic coast, for which
the public have so anxiously looked will
have been this week inaugurated. And we
may further state that some hard fighting
may be expected, and if the expedition
should be very successful, the infantry troops
sent out will not return with the squadron.
General Butler will have an opportunity OF
distinguishing himself and effacing the un-
pleasant memory of Big Bethel.

FEDERAL HILL AT BALTIMORE TO RE FoRTI
FIED.-The War Department, upon repre-
sentatiops of loyal citizens of Baltimore,
has ordered Federal Hill to be fortified, the
work TO be entrusted to Colonel Henry
Brewerton, of the Engineer Corps, who has
already commenced operations. The Amer
lean says the plan calls for line of works
extending entirely around the ground now
occupied by that part of the New York
Zouave Regiment north of Warreu-street,
cate the hight of the crest of the parapet.
From its elevated position and location it
can be made a work of great effectiveness
with but comparatively slight CO.'S, while the
location of the bastions, some of which will
be of double size, will command by an emf
fading fire all the principal approaches to
the hill. The men Of the Zouave Regiment
which now musters nearly eleven hundred
muskets, will be employed principally in
raising the works.

CAMP MoRToN.--A visit to Camp Morton
on Wednesday afternoon revealed to us over
thirty companies in camp, embracing very
nearly three thousand men. William vii.
SOD, ESQ, Camp Commissary, discharges the
duties OF his position in such an affsble aud
obliging manner as to render him favorite
wherever be is known. He is the personif-
cation OF good nature, and if any body ever
got mad at him it must have been from an
impulse to be diSpleased any how and with
every .body.
Major Love, who has command of Camp
Morton, is an experienced aud efficient Off
Ger. He keeps a sharp lookout on every
thing under his jurisdiction, and preserves
neatness and order everywhere. The camp
is clean and wholesome. All the new com.
panies arriving are disposed of in comforta
BILE quarters without trouble or difficulty.
About one thousand men arrivedol Wednes-
day, and all found clean and neat places to
occupy.
AS fast as a regiment is formed and sup.
piled with tents, it is moved outside of the
camp into new quarters, giving more room
and air to the troops Remaining. Every pre-
caution is used to prevent sickness amOng
the troops, and the efficacy of such means
may be appreciated when we state the fact
that only seven patients are in the camp
hospital out of three thousand troops.-In

HEAVY ORDNANCE.-The Pittsburg (Penns.)
Post describes the heavy ordnance now
manufacturing in that city for the Govern
ment;
An order has just been received by the
Fort Pitt Works for the construction of
number of immense thirteen inch mortars
The size of these ponderous affairs would be
hardly understood from a simple mention of
their calibre. The finished piece measures
forty-three inches exterior diameter; and
fifty-four inches extreme length. The bore
is nearly three feet long, and thirteen inches
in diameter, the metal being fifteen inches
thick in the cylindrical portion and nineteen
or twenty at the bkse. They will be sup
ported on immense cast, iron bases, by trun-
nious three and half inches long and fifteen
inches in diameter. For the purpose Of ix-
ing the line of elevation they are furnished,
on One side of the base, with heavy rack,
and on the cylindrical surface above with a
lug six inches deep and four inches thick. The
monster mortars will weigh eight and half
tuns-seventeen thousand pounds each-and
will throw she'll weighing about two hun
dred and twenty pounds. The order is for
the immediate manufacture Of thirty, and
three thousand thirteen-inch shells.

The "HERoIo" VALLANDIGHAM.-The Sc
cessionists of Psducah, KY, held meeting
the other day, at which the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
RcsolVsd; That the Hon. L. W Powell, and
the Hon. John @. Breckinridge, our Sen
Representative in Congress, the HEROIC
VALLANDIGHAM, and the patriotic little
band who stood by them, deserve-for their
patriotism and boldness, in standing up in
the midst of an armed mob and denouncing
the war waged by Lincoln as illegal and un-
cOnstitutionsl-our warmest appreciation and
admiration for their gallant conduct.
On motion, the meeting adjourned, with
three cheers for the Southern Confederacy.

COMMODORE PORTER Commodore Porter,
of the Navy, has addressed lettert o Secre-
tary Welles, declaring his loyalty and dis
proving the reports which have been circu-
lated to his prejudice. He says:
After being summarily detached from the
81. MdryS, and accused OF want of loyalty,
instead of deserting the flag of our Union,
have FASTENED on to the seat of Government
for the purpose of aiding it with all the
ability l possess. | find the Government
under the modification of defeat, the South
almost every where victorious, while the
army of the Government is disorganized and
demoralized by defeat; some-Or, at least,
one-of its most gallant Generals killed |;
the people 'disheartened wherever ! go; a
new army to be raised and disciplined, and
the public mind buried in distress; and also
officers of the Navy resigning and joining
the rebel forces; two heavy foreign squad
rons lowering on the coast and, no doubt,
our foreign affairs in a complicated con-
dition; besides the Southern privateers
roaming the ocean, regardless of Navy
ships; and under all these adverse positions,
| hssten to the Government, and freely and
cheerfully offer my services and life to sus-
tain the stars and stripes. If all this is not
sufficient proof of my loyalty, then it will be
bard indeed for me to convince the Depart
ment that am true and faithful officer to
the Government.

DefenseIess Condition Of the Southern


The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel
gives the government hint in the following
reasons addressed to the Confederate States
for organizing q coast defense:
l. Because there are many places where
the enemy might commit raids and do us
damage before we could organize and drive
them off. Beaufort District, opposite to Sa-
vannah, has several fine ports and inlets nav
ieable for large vessels wholly unprotected.
(See United States Coast Survey.) This dis.
trict has five black to one white inhabitant.
Several inlets on our coast, which our enc
mics know like book, from surveys in their
possession, are equally unprotected.
2. In two months more they will not fear
our climate. By that time they might be
ready to make sudden descent and find us
unprepared.
8. A small force might eject them ifready
to 90 at once; when, if we have to wait O
much larger one will become necessary.
4. By organizing and drilling infantry and
guerillas at home there will be no need to
call upon the President for troops, and feiut
from the enemy would not injure our Vir-
ginia operations.
There are many who are so situated that
they can not enlist for the war who would
willingly organize to go for few months, if
necessary to defend the coast. We earnestly
hope that the Governor will soon have COM
panies organized for this purpose all over the
State. Captain Cain has a company drilling
for this purpose in this county, and we un-
deTstand that Governor Brown has accepted
them as State troops to defend the coast, and
is much pleased with the plan. Captain
Harris has also company of mounted
rangers, with double-barrel shot-guns, for
home defense. If every county will initiate
the example of old Hancock, we would have
fifteen thousand drilled troops in the field al
| the command of the Governor, ready to ope
rate at any point on brief warning Will
not the editors throughout the State urge
the thing on the people2

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Ebsning Post, writing under date
of August %, says;
GENERAL MCCLELLAN AND HIS TROOPS.
General Mcclellan grows every day more
popular with the troops. He does not des.
pise the means which make General popu-
lar with his soldiers, well knowing that if
he would inspire men with true soldierly
qualities they must first have confidence in
him. He has frequently of late visited the
camps incog., thus discovering The condition
of the men and sscertaining the real nature
of their grievances. There are many indi-
cations of the great popularity of Mcclellan
among the soldiers. Whenever he shows
himself he is greeted with enthusiastic ap.
plause, and in their private conversation
they constantly express desire to retrieve
their reputation.
WAR IMPENDING IN KENTUCKY.
Private advices from Kentucky represent
that State as upon the verge of civil war.
Magofin and Breckenridge are bent on car
ryiDg the State over to the rebel Confederacy
at the present time. They fear peace and
quiet, well knowing that Kentucky is fast
drifting into loyal condition, in which she
will fight the battles of the Union. Ma
coffin has sent committee to President Lin
coin, and another to Jefferson Davis, de-
manding that the neutrality of the State be
respected. This is nonsense 30 far as Davis is
concerned, for troops constantly go from
Kentucky TO fight under Davis. Mr.. Lin.
coin is prepared for the Magoffin committee,
and will tell them distinctly that he can
| recognize no neutrality in a loyal State OF
the Union. Kentucky is for the Govern
ment, or she is in rebellion against it,
| Should hostilities break out it is likely that
| Breckinridge and Magoffiu will soon be ar
rested, unless they fly to Tennessee or some
other rebel State. Were either of them tc
show themselves here they would not ge
back to Kentucky.
Breckinridge's conduct since the adjourn
ment of Congress has been infamous, more
so than it was in Congress, showing that ht
was playing a game-that he was gradually
| preparing bis friends for his plunge into the
| gulf of Secession. He now deprecates civil
| war and the invasion of popular rights by
the Government, but the moment he Join!

did in secret, we shall hear no more from hi

only Mr.. Lincoln he desires to hold to idol

There are two or three prominent Uniol
men from Kentucky here, and they asser
that when The hour comes for hostilities tn
Union men will be prepared to do their dut,
and put down the traitors who abound il

GREAT BRITAIN AND THE BLOCKADB.-The
London Post Lord PalmerstOn's organ,
says;
If the blockade be Intellectual, neutral COM
merce will comparatively suffer little injury;
if effectual, the frat principles of public law
tell us that we must obey with good grace,
however disagreeable the restriction may be
for one great staple of British industry aud
British wealth. 1t is evident that the
English journals are gradually preparing
their readers for great economical and COM
mercisl change which is to take place in
England in consequence of the present war
and change which has taken place in our re
lations with the South, resulting ia great
mutations in our own trade and commerce
The Derby organ agrees substantially with
the above Itsays
Nor need the Southern States imagine
that they hold the keys of all the cotton re
serves in the world. EngIisbmeu should
desire of all things that this really fruitless
war should cease, and that cotton sh Iuld
still come to them from their kinsmen. But
Englishmen repudiate, on the other hand,
having fastened upon them a pro-slaVery
interest and pro-slavery sympathy, by the
enuuciation of the unfounded notion that, if
they can not get cotton through slavery,
they must go without.

"NOthing Gone Wrong"

Our Abolition contemporary remarks,
with an innocence quite enchanting, that
nothing has certainly been done to induce
any man to regret having voted for ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN" On account of LINCoLNs
election, seven States, with a population
of over 100000. have seeded from the
Union, and established an Independent gov
eminent, which will be recognized by the
leading European powers within a year. In
every ordinance OF secession which has been
framed at the South, the reason assigned for
secession, has been the triumph of the Sec
tional Republican party. The Press idea
that nothing has gone wrong" is borrowed
from L1NCoLN's speeches, on his way to the
Capital, and involuntarily reminds one of
the adventurous mariner who remarked to

"Sir, why did you not retain your COM

Ingraham replied" Sir, you are mistaken
