of the public mind. The New York Coin

There is no danger 10 be arprchend--

that at least one expedition has sailed
from Northern ports during the last lew
days, and is probably now on It's way to
the Southern coast. 1t is known that Il mum
her Of steamers have lately left the port Of New
York, and that one vr two regiments have
mystcriously disappeared, We learn that the
true objects Of Gen. Buffers visit to New Eng
land was to superintend q similar embarkation,
possibly from Boston, and which may also, by
this time, be on the high seas 10 cooperate
with that from this city. 10 what extent that
squadron lying off Fortress Monroe may take
part in it, We are not prepared to say at pre-

servants were never more actively engaged than
they have been Of late, and Gen. Butler never
acted more adroitly than on the occasion OF
his recent visit "to look after domestic affairs
that required his immediate presence"
