MORE NAVAL ExPEDrTIoNs.-We understand
that, since the brilliant conquest ofHatteras In
let, the government has resolved upon several
other similar expeditions without loss of time.
We are glad to hear it, for this is the
shortest way to the vital parts of this Southern
rebellion. We thus take it in the flank and
rear, and compel it to face about to defend
itself. Better still: by our occupation of the
inlets and seaports Of the cotton States we
shall be able, in good season, to relieve the
Manchester cotton spinners and make them
good Union men. Let us make a bold dash for
the headquarters of King Cotton, and we shall
soon have him on The hip on both sides Of the
water.

The TAMMANY MAN1FEsro.-Tammany Hall
has issued decree casting of the Mozart de-
mocracy, and going in for the spoils separately.
And the mock heroic airs Of superior patriot
ism which these Tammany artful dodgers as
sumo are very amusing Largely responsible,
through their affiliations with the Albany Re
gency at Charleston and Baltimore, for this
dreadful Southern rebellion, these Tammany
demagogues now endeavor to hide their rascal
tiles under the convenient cloak of lofty
loyalty to the Union cause. Their patriotism,
however, is of that class of contraband goods
known as shoddy-old rotten woollen rags
worked up into new cloth. The taxpayers of
this city, who are Heeced to the extent of three
per cent upon their real estate to pay the
costs of the jobbers and robbers inflicted upon
us by the rule of Tasnmany Hall, have surely
by this time had enough of Tammany patriotism
and Tammany spolaions. And now that Tam
nany-rotten and utterly corrupt old Tam
many-may be finally disposed of, we hope the
good work will be done.

THE TRIBUNE GONG INTO THE HANDS OF THE
ABoLT1oNIsTs.-We understand that Mr.. Gay,
the leader Of the great Anti-Slavery Society Of
this city, and we'll known abolitionist, has re-
Gently purchased o large number of shares in the
Tribune Association, and thus becomes an infiu-
entail and directive partner in that already dis
tinguished abolition organ. The authority for
this statement is Mr.. Camp, himself large
stakeholder in the Tribune. Until we have this
statement from some other authority, however,
we shall not endorse it as perfectly true.
There is, however, great deal
of eAervescence just now among the
abolitionists of the Tribune Association, con-
seqnent upon the hard times and their lack of
the root Of all evil-and good. They propose
to cut down the wages Of their compositors, in
order to retrench their expenses, and, in COM
mon with several other journals Of the same
mind for the same reason, they are preparing a
petition to the New York Typographical Asso.
citation, asking for reduction in the rates for
type setting. This we regard as an impudent
in reference with the rights of free labor. We
shall not allow the Typographical or any other
association to hinder us from giving just as
much as we please to our employees who do
their work well. Abolition works badly any way,
but the Tribune and other newspaper managers
will discover that it works most badly when
the abolition of printers well earned wages is
attempted.

The SOURCES OF THE OPPOSITION TO THE CABr-
NEr-THE TRIBUNE CAvMG M.-The most rabid
opponent of the administration from the begin
ing has been the Tribune. 1t has continued its
attacks day after day, and has done more to
battle the enterprises of the government than all
the secession papers in the country. Now it
cries peccavi in the following language
The President We well assured is firm IN the con
viction that the efficiency Of the public service be
improved, and Is quite likely to be weakened, by any
change In his Cabinet On this point his facilities for
forming correct Judgment unsrp passed and nc is
very unlikely 10 suffer II to be overruled by uimnations
from public meetings or journals We submit therefore,
that the time and strength devoted to eectng change
in the Cabinet might be more probably employed.
Now it is notorious that the Tribune was
the originator of the opposition against
the Cabinet, and, till the present time, has
uttered the principal Nominations AS the
organ Of the friends Of Chase it assailed
Seward, and for blind it assaled at the same
time Cameron and others. To counteract the
effects of this course the friends of Seward at
tackled Chase and Cameron, and thus the war
of elimination and recrimination has been going
on ever since the installation Of Mr.. Lincoln,
the attacks and replies being banded back and
forward like shuttlecock. The public had
nothing to do with it, and have taken no inte-
rest in it. 1t is war Of the politicians exolu-
sively, springing from the sorrows of the big
disappointed and the little disappointed, in

and the soft shells, the Brccknridgers and the

and unite in Offering up prayers for the
departed greatness of democracy. The only

from the strong desire of both the Tammany and
Mozart Halls factions of this city to be present at
the death, and as only the representatives OF one

pulling and hauling between these parties to Sc

A curious fact IS related as having taken
place at Berlin. At a irst-class hotel in that
city, political discussion arose at the table
d hote, which grew rather warm, during which
some personal remarks were passed between
two young men, hitherto strangers. They
left the table, and cards were exchanged; the
result was that the young man, a stranger to
Berlin, sent a letter requesting a due provis-
ion Of pistols. The latter, however, fell into
the hands Of the sister Of the young man,
who conceived the extraordinary notion of
impersonating her brother-to whom she is
devotedly attached, the idea Of danger to him
being more insupportable than death to her.
As she is very like her brother, she trusted
the truth would not be discovered, and she
actually appeared on the field at the appoint
ed day.
The place of meeting was that where Herr
Won Hinkeldy wa5 killed some two or three
years ago. The opponent, however, was not
deceived by this false appropriation of the
pantaloons, though willing, out of gallantry,
to humor the fair one, and frighten her for
her frolic, so she took his place. and, as he
obtained the right of first fire, levelled his
pistol at his fair antagonist for a time. She
did not however, finch; and he was forced
at last to fire in the air. The turn of the
lady came, and she was in no wise nervous
about using her rights, and shot the young
man in the shoulder. The wound was slight
The matter is ia the hands of the police and
the newspapers have got scent of it, as ap-
pears from paragraph in the Roischer Zei-
tuRg.

DISASTROUS Snow AVALANCHE IN CALIFoR-
MA terrific avalanche of snow occurred
at Drum Hill, Sierra county California, on
the 1lth of February, by which Robert Hits
man and Peter johnson, natives OF Washing
ton, st. Lawrence county, N. Y, were killed.
Robert Moses, Marshall Hitsman and Peter
johnson were at work at q tunnell at Drum
Hill; Moses and Marshall were twelve
hundred feet under ground, while the others
were running the car. While thus engaged
those inside the tunnel heard terrific noise,
and on learning the cause found that an
avalanche ofthree acres ofsnow Eve feet deep,
had descended from the bill, destroyed their
dwelling, and completely closed the mouth
OF the tunnel With the aid of an axe, after
six hours labor, they emerged from the fun
mel and endeavored to make their way three
miles, to the nearest habitation. The snow
was 50 deep that during three hours, they
only proceeded one hundred and fifty feet,
and were compelled to return. They dug
their way to an old cabin near by, and made
FIRE. Here they constructed snow shoes,
by means Of elapboards, and on these they
succeeded in reaching Pine Grove. Thence
one hundred men went on snow shoes to the
tunnel, and dug outthose who had been buried
beneath the cabin. When found, Robert
Hitsman was dead, but Peter johnson was
alive, but died soon after being removed
He had been confined in a space Just sufficient
for him to breathe, and in this sepulchre had
lived eighteen hours. The clergyman and
those who attended the funeral, were CON-
PEELED to walk on snow shoes to and from
! the place of interment

A sad etsry---Tho Peculiar Institution--sA
Mother Robbed OF Her SON.

A sad etsry---Tho Peculiar InstitutiOH--sA
Mother Robbed Of Her SON.
A number of years ago-twenty years at
least-an old negress named Polly West sue
oeeded in paying her master, a Mr.. Griffin, Of
Campbell county, Kentucky the last dollar
required to secure her right and title to her
own body, She was then free woman.--
For over sixty years she had toiled in slay-
cry, ever sustained by the hope that she
would, before her death, own herself She
then came to this city, where she was well
received. But it was only 70 continue her
toiling, for she had left behind her, her son,
her Idel, in the chains of slavery.
Through the assistance Of friends, she soon
raised S4O0, with which she went to AlexRn-
dria, Ky., 10 purchase the freedom Of her son,
Charles West who was then between forty
and fifty years Of age. He was the property
of Mr.. VIM. Satchell, Of that place. Mr.. S.
agreed 10 sell the "boy' to his mother for
900, Of which $500 was to be paid down,
and the balance in small payments extending
over number of years. Charles aeconpa-
MED his IT other 10 this city and secured en-
ployment The 6rst money they saved was
paid over TO the master, and so on till they
had reduced the sum to a little over 500.
One day Charles went out to his work as
usual, but never returned. He was seized
and handcuffed by two deputy United States
Marshals, taken before a Commissioner, and
in less than an hour remanded TO slavery as
the escaped property Of MIR. Satchell. He
was sold South.
The mother was not told the truth for day
or two, and then what could she do for her
Kidnapped son2 en-heartedshe retu rn-
ed to her menial employment of picking and
washing rags. This was about seven years
ago.
On Saturday last she complained to some
friends that she was unwell, and calling on
one Of them at 80 West Front street. be-
tween Vine and Race, asked for some tea
She, old and decrepit wanted nothing more.
At late hour she retired to her couch, where
she was let by her friends. Next morning
she was dead
There were rumOrs OF pOison-money be-
ing the object. Follows the iujunctions of
the law, the the Coroner and a jury came and
made an investigation. The above facts came
to light It was also shown that the oil wo
man-then between 80 and 90 years of age
hal some $500 her due, which was to be
paid over by an agent in a few days. Who
this agent is no one could tell, and it remains
with the Court to find out. The verdict OF
the jury was, Hdeath from old age and expo
sure"
What has became of the son of whom she
was SO cruelty robbed, no one knows, but it
is probable that if alive he is on some cotton
plantation in the far South.
