Opening a Cotton Port.

The Naval Expedition has a double OBJ.
ject to accomplishments, to obtain foot
hold on Southern soil, within striking dis.
tance of the chief stroDgholds Of the rebels
lion; and second, to open port for the
egress of the cotton crop. The latter, if
successful in its objects, will be grand
point gained, especially as removing the
temptation to foreign interference for the
r>liei of the laboring classes in Europe.
The Confederate government will, of course,
oppose oil its strength to efforts for this OBJ
ject, as it has good reason to apprehend the
consequences of such measure. No doubt
the most extreme penalties will be visited
upon any who avail themselves of the facili-
ties thus offered ior the conversion of their
now worthless accumulation of fibre into
solid gold. Several months ago, apparently
in anticipation of raids upon their seaport
towns, The transportation of cotton from
the interior was prohibited by the Confed-
crate government, so that at the present
time planters are supposed to have their
crop housed near the spot where it was
grown, and, as report says, in condition to
be burnt up, in case it should be threatened
with seizure. Therefore, it is apparent that
''opening cotton port depends for sue.
cess, in a great measure, in the United
States Government asserting its authority
in such force as will assure planters Of its
ability not only to maintain itself in those
parts where it may take possession, but to
extend effectual protection to such loyal cit
liens as may dare to repudiate the South
ern Confederacy. Planters will not care

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.
The Patrick Henry Of the Day.

In ordinary times, we had not thought
very highly of the eloquence of DANIEL s.
DICKINSON, of New York. His usual style
of speech has been so overloaded with quo.
tations, especially from the sacred writings,
that through half his life he has been known
as" Scripture Dick" He has also been
given to anecdotes on the stump to most
dangerous extent for one who has sought a
national reputation for craftsmanship. But
he is gloriously redeeming himselfin his age.
Ever since the present rebellion broke out, he
has been before the people, in hall and field,
and has uttered to the country such strains
of patriotic eloquence as have rarely fallen
from the lips of any orator of any time. In
the impassioned fervor of his speech, its
boldness and directness, he approaches near
er to the Orator of the Revolution than
any other of our public men. He IS prov
ing himself more than worthy of the high
encomiums which the great WEBSTER Law.
ished upon him so freely.

Rather Sarcastic.

The Faribault Republican, the leading
Republican paper of Central Minnesota, is
rather sarcastic on the late military ap-
pointments. Mr.. Brown, the editor, has
an independent turn of mind that is very
refreshing, and his Influence is not confined
entirely to his own section. This is what
be says: .t-sT -. 1....a,1 t.4s...i
THE GOVERNOR DEFENDED.
The Press OF Friday last defends the
Governors late appointments of field Off
GERS from the street attacks; possibly he
might have made appointments that would
have rendered defence unnecessary. The
Press says loyalty, military education,
spending money to raise volunteers, &c.
were the considerations which governed the
Governor in his selections.
When one man who had spent years in
the study of military tactics, had for three
years been the drill master of some of the
best disciplined volunteer regiments in New
York another, graduate of the Vermont
Military Academy; another who had seen
scrvice-were all set aside for Hadley, VIC
udFC liz OOuOC SuuSUtAOu WOO Ouiy
considered. We suppose money cxpendi-
ture was considered in his case also, for
though We have never heard of his spending
money to raise volunteers, we understand
be said he had spent between two and three
hundred dollars to secure the office of Major.
Locality of course had much to do with the
selections. The residents of certain locali-
ties in the State seem to be in high favor so
far as the best appointments are concerned,
with both State and National Administra
tions. The Sanity City and Winona can
furnish Colonies enough for all the regi-
ments in ten States, and doubtless another
Major and another Sutler might be found
in st. Paul.
In another place, where the appointments
are announced, Mr.. Brown says:
The Governor is doubtless satisfied with
his appointments. He ought to be with
Hadley's, for very few others are. yhe
should miss some Of his stepping stones to
power aohen he makes on EFFORT to climb into
the United States Senate, he must be careful
not to stub his toes.

A New Brigadier.

WIGFALL has been made a brigadier- gen.
eral and the Richmond Examiner rejoices
over him, as ga man of energy, daring,
great resource and untiring activity one
OF the most useful friends we had in the
Senate" This praise is not undeserved.
Wigfall has all the qualities which are as
cribed to him-but he has, unfortunately, no
trace of honesty and such of the Confed-
crates as still own property should be on
their guard against the new brigadier. Lou
is T. Wigfall, of Texas, is, perhaps, the
worst man the South has. He began life
as an assassin; when he was forced to fly
to Texas, he set up there law and collect
ing agency, and cheated the merchants who
employed him. He embezzled the moneys
be collected, till he could no longer get any
one to trust him-then began politics, and
got himself elected to the United States
Senate, where he was foremost in the cons
spiracy against the Union. Thief, assassin,
traitor he may nevertheless be good mate
rial for Confederate brigadier.

These vehicles for wounded soldiers are got
in readiness for active service on large
field, and the musicians-who during bat
tie have the chief care of the wounded, prior
to their being taken to the surgeons-are
armed with filters, ETC., while the hospital
attaches, who are detailed for that duty,

stimulants, &c. Quite number of the
boys are seen to drop, some with broken
legs and arms, Others wounded in the head,
neck, shoulders-in fact wounded in every
possible and impossible manner, according
to the notion of the unfortunate. In one
case l saw man walk two rods before
falling after be had been shot through the
right cheek, the ball passing out behind the
LETT ear; and although his skull and jaws
were severely fractured, he was able to
speak intelligibly as to bis injuries. The
tieldsmen raise the wounded men and place
them upon the litters-if any limb appears
to be broken it is supported by pads so as
TO ease the pain, and carry them to the am.
balances, in which the filters are placed,
and the soldiers are conveyed to the hospi.

The Navigation OF the Mississippi.

From the New York Herald. at
A letter received in this country by an
eminent lawyer of Philadelphia, from dis.
tinguished American banker 10 London,
dated October II, 1861, contains the fol.
lowing statement, which is highly important,
if true. Here it is:
Notwithstanding your prohibition that
should not mention political matters, should
be wanting in real kindness to you if l did not
commit to paper the on dit of this day. 1t is
stated that when France sold Louisiana to the
United States it was expressly stipulated that
the Mississippi should at all times be open to
the navigation of French vessels. The Empe-
rOr has discovered this fact, and the result is
that every hole and corner of our public libra
ries are being ransacked to find COPY of the
treaty, and recommend you to lock for it at
home. 1t may be in an carrier treaty, for
Louisiana was sold more than once.
K. 3. Since writing the foregoing the treaty
has been found in the British Museum. Clauses
seven and eight are the important ones.
1t is barely possible that this treaty, if it
really does exist, and has within it any force
in international law, has produced the unu.
sual desire that has been manifested by the
government to open the Mississippi, as well
as induced the new rebel leaders to assert,
as they frequently did in Congress, on the
eve of the rebellion, that they never intend
ed and never would interfere to prevent the
navigation of that river. Should France
attempt to open the river nnder such treaty,
that power will not only have to break the
federal blockade at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi, but will also have to contend with
the batteries established on the banks by
the rebels to prevent navigation.
The recent sudden departure for Europa
OF certain distinguished Americans, know II
to be in the confidence of Secretary Sewar'
may have something to do with this re-
ported discovery of the Emperor Napoleon
l learn that the letter from which l am per,
mitted to copy has been forwarded to Sec
rotary Seward.
