Them? Either the HERALD Is loyal or the Presi-

choose its own horn Of the dilemma. II says
that we pronounced universal abolition the
strongest weapon Of the government; but II
forgets TO add that we said that If this weapon
were used, it would destroy not only the rebels,
but the country, as Samson killed the Pills
tines and himself by pulling down the pillars of
the temple. 1t concludes by stating that we.
are in favor of the halter or the prison for aboi
tionists and rebels alike; and there says truly
and we gladly plead guilty to the charge.
Yes, Mr.. Goodell, we hold that you should join
your co-disunionists in Fort Lafayette; and, if
our "talent Of prophecy" has not deserted us,
you shortly will, If you do not change your
course. You and "Cobbett'' are very pretty
pair OF radicals, and ought to discuss your
opinions of the HsrsAID in the same cell. Such

ANOTHER STONE FLEET-O OPERATIONS AGAINST
CHARLESTON .RB0R.-We publish this morning
q map of the approaches to Charleston harbor,
which are about to be blocked up by vessels
sunk across its channels and ialets in the same
manner as the Ocracoke entrance to Albemarle
bSuQd has been dealt with. For this purpose
is<1 OF old whaling vessels will leave New
London in few days, carrying upwards OF six
thousand tons of stone. They will be sunk,
with their cargoes, in the ship channel between
Morris and Sullivan islands, and in the Breach
and Stone inlets This will be a quicker and
more inexpensive way of shutting up the harbor
than by keeping number of war vessels before
it rs a blockading force, whose vigilance the
privateers could easily clude. II is, besides,
the most singing punishment that can be dealt
out to that pestilent little city, which was the
first to raise the standard of rebellion in the
vain hope that its disloyal zeal would entitle it
to become at once the capital and the great
commercial emporium of the new confederacy.
Instead Of the brilliant future which it pictured
to itself, it will find its harbor approaches
bunged up like the veriest ratholes, so that not
even a lighter can get through them to discharge
the carg oes sent it by its sympaihizers.
When it was announced THAI the operations
Of the great naval expedition were to be
directed against Port Royal aud Savannah, con-
siderable disappointment was expressed that
Charleston was not to come in for the first share
of Its attentions. 1t is better as ii is. 1t would
have given too much importance and graft.
fication TO the cocks of the little dunghill
State. They will feel more ksenly the fact Of
their city being wiped forever out of the list of
commercial ports by simple stroke of Secre-
tary Welles' pen, and that without the chance
of their firing single sho, in its defence
Such will also be the fate of Savannah and
one or two other Southern ports, which counted
that In this rebellion they would find a certain
means Of aggrandizng themselves Mt the ex-
pense of the North. 1t now depends entirely on
the will Of Northern men which shall be the future
maritime emporiums Of the South. And, unless
the rebels speedily lay down their arms, it is a
question whether they will retain any property
ut all in their own ports. The capture of the
latter by the fede3lists will be followed by
larger influx of Yankee settlers-a genus apt
to stick wherever they swarm. Thus the chi
valry will only have succeeded in transfer
ring to their backs the blisiers which their pride
found so intolerable at the extremties Alas
for the vanity of human expectations.
