LET TEEN BEAR THE PALM.-While the Joy
and graduation of all patriots at the success
of the expedition of Commodore Stringham
and General Butler are yet fresh in their hearts,
calumniators of members of the Cabinet, who
have been accustomed to attribute all failures
in the field to the Secretaries of the Navy or
War, (as the case might be) will have the
fairness to ascribe to those functionaries any
share OF the honor Of the late victorys Come
now! Let US have fair play! II Secretaries
Cameron and Welles are to be assailed when
mischsnce occurs to our army, let them, at
least, be honorably commemorated when they
are conquerors.- baltimore Patriot.
The Patriot asks too much. 1t is the business
Of certain journals to calumniate the Secretaries
not to praise them.

The Government Plan of the Hatteras

AlReclOUs CONDUCT o. COM. BARRON,


It appears by the priyAle/ conversations Of
General Butler, that he did not follow, in all
things, the orders or instructions Of his gu
periors. OF courve, the Government order.
were given in accordance with all the lights
they had at the time; but, when General But
Ter arrived st the. scene- e. operations, hs saw
the necessity Of q, change in the programme,
and acted accordingly. The Tribune, Of yes
trrday, says; '' "..a.r ...rrl a....
"The General was SO obliging as to get out
bis charts and show us the route Of the exped.
lion as projected at Washington, and that
actually followed. From these It seems that
the intention of Government bad been for the
expedition to take and destroy tho forts at
Hatteras Inlet and then to 60 about "a miles
up the channel to the westward, to a spot
known as The Bulkhead, and sink stone-boat
across the channel, which Is here not more
than IS to 100 yards wide, thus efectually
sealing up the port of Newbern. But General
Butler, on reaching the ground, thonoht the
best interests of the country would h, served
by adopting diameirically differen, 'ourse
so the forts were garrisoned instead Of de. royed
and the stoue boats were anchored n der the
guns of the forts instead Of being sunk at the
| Bulkhead.
| "If the way up to Newbern had been blocked,
not only would the piivateers been excluded,
| but our own light draft vessels could not have
got up to the place to make OH attack and re-
capture the SO prizes which lie anchored In
1 that port BY retaining the two forts at Hat.
teras, we shall command the whole coast Of
North Carolina and the direct route to Norfolk,
and establish coaling station 100 miles nearer
our blookading squadron than Hampton Roads.
"A circumstance has transpired which places
the conduct Of our prisoner, Commodore Bar.
ron, in . most atrocious light. 1t was not
enough that he, an officer Ct the United States
navy, who had been educated and supported
by Government, should have violated his oath,
perjured his soul, and become traitor and
rebel to the land of his birth, but he, anaval
officer, actually gave orders that the light or

BLADENsBURG, Sept. 4, 1861.
THE publication of the regulations of the
War Department, forbidding the sale to soldiers
of "ardent spirits and other intoxicating
drinks" is truly opportune. The enforcement
of these regulations in this village is greatly
needed. They are continually and openly vio
lated. Officers and privates of several Of the

LOUISIANA SUGAR.

All accounts from Louisiana concur 10 repre-.
senting that the growing crop of sugar promise
vastly to exceed any crop before known. ~
nothing unexpected happens to 1t, crop OF
6OO, 900 hogsheads, equal 10 seven hundred mil
lions Of pounds, /, anticipated. Tho greatest
crop raised heretofore was that of 1858, when
449, ,Ss4 hogsheads were produced. The smallest
(of late years) was that of 1858, when, through |
the combined effects of drougkth and early frost,
ouly 1876 hogsheads were produced. Last
year, the yield was 22s,753 hegsheads, and the
year before, 22l $40.
The total consumption Of cane sugar in the
United States in 1860, was computed at nine
hundred and thirty millions Of pounds, and It
Is not likely To be greater in 1862, considering
augmented price and the greater economy, Of
private habits, resulting from thu pressure Of
var. II, then, the Louisiana sugar, which will
be ground from the cane during the coming
winter, proves to be as much as seven hundred
millions of pounds, and obtains access to our
markets, the quantity Of foreign sugar, upon
which the two cents per pound duty of our
new tariff Is collectable, will only be two hun
dred and thirty millions Of pounds, yielding
only four millions and six hundred thousand
dollars Of revenue, while we should have the
melancholy satisfaction Of paying, in the price
Of Louisiana sugar, fourteen millions Of dol
lars, for the benefit of rebel sugar growers,
who have plundered our mint, turned our sick
.eamen out Of our hospitals, and closed the
mouth Of our great river.
Happily, this sugar of Louisiana cannot get
into our markets before Congress meets and,
indeed, II will not be ground out of the canes
before Congress meets. The temporary means
Of eucountering the difficulty are found in the
Presidents power to prescribe the terms upon
which he will grant special licences to trade with
insurrectonsry regions. A permanent remedy
may be found, among others, in the power Of
Congress to impose excise duties. An excise
Of two cents per psand upon all home-raised
cane sugar, will leave no advantage of protec
ton to that article, and all which the consume
pays in the increased price Of sugar, will g
into the treasury. The country never will sub
NIT, aud never ought to submit, 10 such
bounty upon the employment of slave labor ii
Louisiana, as is involved in a high dut
upon sugar, left to. be mere duty Of protec
ton for sugar-rsisers in Louisiana. A tax upol
sugar Is necessary for the finances, and II car
only be efrectusl as source of revenue by
some countervailing measure which will pre-
vent Us benefits from enuring TO the advantage
of men who have forfeited all claims to favor

FIRST CASE OF NEGRO EMANCIPATION UNDER

interesting announcement
"The Home Guards of Washington county
have been stirring up nest of secessionists In
that quarter. On Friday and Saturday last
they captured fifteen OF them. An effort was
made to take James McCullock a noted feces-
aionist of that county, and formerly member
of the Legislature. His negroes, some eight or
ten, and fine lot of stock were captured. The
