Gen. Buffers Eypedition.

A despatch in our last paper dated
Fortress Monroe, August 90. stated that an
expedition had sailed, under command of
Gen. Butler, consisting of the fricates Min
nesota, Wabash, and Pawnee, and the gun
boats Monticello, Harriet Lane, and sew
eral steamers and propellers, schooners
and barges, but their destination at that
time was unknown. The following will
explain the mystery:
The fleet arrived off Hatteras Inlet on
Wednesday. Two forts had been erected
by the rebels commanding the mouth of
the lhlet, which commands the entrance
of Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds, which
thus affords connection with Virginia and
the sea. The forts replied to our inces

Fort Clark was hauled down, and the reb-
els reJeated to the other fort. Our land
forces soon occupied the abandoned fort,
hosting the Stars and Stripes.
At III, 80 Z. NJ. shells were beginning
TO Slsy on the magazine, when the rebels
hoisted Ykite flag. Gen. Butler refused
accepting any terms. except an uncondi-
tional surrender. which was at last accept
ed. Barron delivered his sword to Com.
modore Stringham, and the other officers
theirs to Butler 1000 stand Of arms,
two cannon, fifty kDapsacks and quantity
Of munitions were captured. Nobody en-
our side was hurt. 400 rebels had rein
forced the fort the night previous to the
attack
On Thursday forenoon, steamer with
a Thousand rebels approached, but was
kept away by our force in Fort Clark.
Max Weber was placed in command of
Fort Hatteras, and Col Hawkins in Fort
Clark.
A portion of the feet remains there.
Several important books aud papers were
captured, disclosing the plans of the re5-

E The Oshkosh Northuestern thinks
that the railroad Bridge between Neenah
and Menasha will be completed so that
the cars may cross it early this mouth.
So Menasha has now, or will have, in
few days, a Railroad from Chicago to
the door Of the factories on her water
power. While We deeply regret that We
cannot boast that it is the cars of her old
favorite road that enter the village, we
heartily rejoice that Menasha at last has a
means wherewith to transport her large
and constantly increasing manufacturing
products. She has waited for Manitowoc
long time, and we may as we'll now say
"Menasha, good -bye"

New York Democratic State Conven-
ton.

Syracuse, Sept. 4.
In the Democratic Convention, Hon.
Francis Kerner, of Oneida, was elected
temporary Chairman.
On taking the chair, he addressed the
Convention, reviewing the state of the
country, and said, it is our duty to meet
the present dangers, and do all in our
power to stay the ruin that seems impend-
ing. To this end it is our duty to oppose
abolitionisrn at the North and secession at
the South, which ere equally making war
on our Government, and | exhort you from
my heart as men and patriots to consign
them both to a common grave.
The abolitionists of the North through
the ballot box are seeking to retain a
power which is destructive as death to the
institutions under which we live Loud
applause. Let US take position which
shall enable us 10 effcctually put abolition
down at the ballot box. We care no.
wha. men are in charge of the Govern.
ment; it is our duty to protect and pre-
serve this Government, and resist with our
lives the men who seek to overthrow it.
We will say to everybody at home and
abroad that this must be no war for the
emancipation of slaves, but war for the
preservation of the Government and of the
rights of all sections of the Union.
The time has come when the position Of
a great party must be decisively taken,
for no negative policy can preserve the
Union from destruction at this crisis. 1t
is true that, unhappily for the country,
we have not the power at this time to adj
minister the government, but we can
clearly, boldly and firmly mark out the
decisive course of action which We pro-
pose, in order to rescue the country from
the dangers that surround it.
He further says the Democratic party
can give tone to this war, so that it NAV
be said that it was war to uphold the
Constitution, to preserve the Government,
to give to every section of the country
their jusc rights under the CONSTITUTE on !;
and SO that it may be known that we have
fought to put down this rebellion, from
love to our whole country, and not from
hate to our brethren of the South, and
that we ore read to proclaim that as soon
as this armed rebellion is over, we are pre-
pared to meet the South again in liberal
spirit, and to guarantee full Constitutional
rights to all.

in the field at 50, GOO men.
The enemy are concentrating large
force south of Alexandria; and are also
erecting batteries near the mouth of the

Heavy firing has been heard this after

the opposite shore Of the Potomac, but no
reports of battle have been received.
The proclamation of the President, closing

his way home one day last week, met with
a severe accident. When about FOUR miles
from town bis clothing took fire from his
pipe, and it got such Roadway that he was
unable to assist himself in putting it out.

badly. We did not learn his name.
