THE FIFTEENTH REGIMENT.-A private
letter. dated Washington, August 25, gives
the following information relative to this regl.
ment THE quiet of our Sunday morning is
broken in upon by the order to march as
soon as possible" for place called Chain
Bridge, some twenty miles from here, on this
side of the river, with Gen. Stones brigade.
This idea of the location is what l have been
able to get in the hurry of the moment, and
may not he correct. We look upon this move
ment as the fruit of our general efficiency,
combined with Gen. Stones demand for
Massachusetts, regiment in his brigade. There
seems to be very strong desire to obtain one
of our state regiments in each of the brigades
if possible. The cast, character, and equip
ment of our troops surpass those of any other
state yet met by us in this vicinity. Yester-
day the regiment was reviewed by Brigadier
General King, and was highly commended

THE SECRET EXPEDITION.

Though it is not decisively known whittier
the naval expedition under Commodore
Slringham and Gen. Butler has gone, it may
not be premature to assume that it is now
of the coast of North Carolina aud will soon
he heard from in possession of one of the very
important points on the southern coast. In
letter written from Fortress Monroe, 10Th
inst, the day of the departure of the fleet, II
is presumed that the destination OF The
expedition is the coast OF North Carolina, win
the view of destroying battery at certain
point, and closing the inlets through which
they reach the open with vessels from
Norfolk through the Dismal Swamp canal ana
Abemarle Sound The certain pcint" re.
ierred to is undoubtedly Hatteras Inlet, into
which very many of the prizes which the prl-
vatcers lave taken have been carried. 1t Is
an important entrance to Pamlico and Abe
marie sounds, through which vessels may run
direct to Norfolk by way of the Dismal
Swamp. A letter written several days ago,
on board the Roanoke, which is one of the
vessels blockading Charleston, says 1.-THE
Point is on a barren strip of sand beach, many
miles from the main land, that forms the out
side of the Sound, and with good sand bat
terry, with long range rifled guns, would be as
as Fortress Monroe from an at
tack either by land or water from the cOnfed.
crate troops, and by holding it would give our
rebel friends a mighty sight of uneasiness."

WORCESTER TO New YoRK.-The oldest
and most popular steamboat route between
New York and Boston is that via Norwich and
Worcester. This season it affords the great
advantage of two new and magnificent boats,
built expressly for the line, the City of New
York and City of Boston, They are not only
the swiftest steamers on Long Island Sound,
by actual daily test of speed, but are construct
ed with water-tght compartments, being the
only boats on the Sound with this great life
preserving improvement. Their furniture and
decorations are most superb, and the meals on
board are served in first-class hotel style, with
bills OF fare, etc. The railroad cars for Nor
witch to Boston are also new and exceedingly
comfortable and all travellers who have for
tunately chosen this rohte are enthusiastic in
its praise throughout. The New York agent

JOURNAL OF CoMMERcE.-Negotialio are
in progress among the proprietors of the

the ownership and conduct OF that paper. The

lions to Mr.. Gerard Halock for the purchase
of his interest and his withdrawal from the

OF their interest and his assumption of the

The People ARE ALWAYS RIGnr.-
The people insisted that the administra-
ticn should call General Wool, the hero
OF Buena Vista, into active service at
the commencement of the war; but the
administration refused to recognize him
until the popular clamor in his behalf
was too powerful to resist. No sooner
was he sent to Fort Monroe than he de-
tached from the forces under his com.
mand tie troops who captured Fort
Hatteras. Thus we see that the man
whom the people designated brings VIC
tory with him.
The people are now demanding other
changes from the administration. Ger.
tainiy they should be listened to when
they prefer request, or they will make
it commando Chicago Times.

THE CABINET QUESTION.

"Tell your friends, sir, 70 make war
on the enemy, and not on each other
Such is the reply which Mr.. Lincoln
made to New York gentleman, who
endeavored to discover his policy with
reference to . change in the Cabinet
with reference to turning out the dis
honest and INSCRIPTIONS Cameron, and
the fossilized Welles, and putting in
their stead the noble, honest and patri-
otto Holt, and the prompt and patriotic
Dix. At all events we have the author
ity Of the New York Tribune that such
was the Presidents curt reply, yet it
may not be that he said go.
1t canuot be that the President is not
fully apprised Of the will OF the people
concerning this matter. lie is not 'g-
norant Of the fact that the popular will
is almost a unit on this subject. All
parties, as if with one high impulse,
have demanded Of the executive that
the Cabinet be purged OF its present in
competent and inefficient members, and
that men Of stamina and true grt be
placed in the places which they have
disgrsced and it is not fair to presume
that the edict OF the President as above
recorded will cause the public to lay
down their convictions without muir
muir.
1t IS the people who are fighting the
battles OF the country, and they are con-
yinced that salutary changes can and
should be made in order that the war be
carried on vigorously, and We look upol
this apparent refusal of Mr.. Lincoln to
grant this earnest request as unworthy
Of man holding his position. There
is an overwhelming peace party In the
loyal States. They are in terrible ear
nest the country over. They are tired
Of the present state of affairs, and desire
to be led forth to battle as the shortest
and speedicst way to secnrc that blessing
without which no country can prosper.
They have become fully aware that there
has been gross Encouragement in the
Cabinet, and in order that the grand
object tor which they are fighting and
ready to fight may be obtained, ask that
honesty and vigor take the place Of dis
honesty and inaction in the executive
chamber.
incsc are no ordinary times, but times
that demand prompt action and hearty
cooperation. Can either be counted
upon under the present management {!
Will the people consent to submit to the
political skullduggcry of such an ineff-
cient set Of Cabinet officers AS those
they now have! Is this any time to
plot and plan for the next Presidency {!
to steal the loyal donations of the poo
pie to squander away precious time
when the enemy is Haunting his rebel
flag within easy view of the Cabinet
chamber! If it is, then let Cameron
and Wellcs continue if not, let them
be set adrift at once. 1t is not "mak-
ing war upon friends" to ask for this
change; it is the most ctlectual way we
can see to make war upon the enemy
and bring about speedy peace. The
people are sick Of this war as a means
defensive, and desire to sec it vigorously
prosecuted as the shortest and surcst
road to peace. We trust that Mr.. Lin
coin will reconsider his curt reply, and
lose no time in making a public ac-
acknowledgement of the inefiiciency of
his Cabinet.

Terrible Hand.tO.hand Fight near Kirk.
Vile, Mo.

From the Hannibal, MOI Messenger, Sept. ID
We learn from Capt. SaddeD, Ct
Company Is. Sd Iowa Regiment, that
while Corporal Dix and five men be-
longing to his company were GU, on a
scout, during the past week near Kirk
vile, and within two miles Of rebel
camp, they stopped at farm house for
ulnIicr, wnen tue mouse was surrounded
by twenty-five rebels, who demanded
Corporal Dix to surrender. He replied,
the members of the Sd Iowa Regiment,
like Gen. Taylor, 'never surrcnders,"
and beckoned to his men to follow him
for their arms, which were in an adjoin-
ing house, which was situated bctwee
them and the rebels. They succeeded
in recovering their arms, when terri
bic hand to-hand fight ensucd, resulting
in the dispersion of the rebels with the
loss OF seven killed and five wounded
but the Federals paid dear for their vic
tory, as their gallant leader was killed.
None OF the others, however, were hut.
The men carried the DO y OF Corporal
Dix to kirkville, where it was dccenty
inferred. Capt. Sladden deeply regrets
the loss of SO brave man, and says he
was the best pistol shot he ever saw.
