The exports from New York to foreign
ports, exclusive of speeie, for the month Of
October. exceeded thirteen million dollars,
and were therefore more than half as large
again as the total imports for the same
period last year. The Journal of Com
merce soyS October will probably be the
banner month of the year, as the exports
were ever one million in excess of the June
total, which was then the largest of any
single month since the settlement of the
port. The corresponding month of last
year was very active in this trade, bat it
was succeeded by two still heavier, the last
quarter of 1860 showing IN enormous ag-
gregate. Large as that was, however, we
shall probably exceed it the current season.
Total exports since January lst. exclusive
of specie, SlU9. .Sj4, ,56j, against $50, 203,-

ports of specie show falling of Of near

The total imports of merchandise since
January lst amounts to one hundred and
eight millions, against about two hundred
millions for the corresponding ten months
of last year. OF the imports during the
last ten months only thirty-nine millions
were in dry goods. leaving about sixty-ninc

What Portage has Done.

Portage county has nObly done her duty
aye, more than her duty-in supplying
men for the 80. V. L. S. A." Her quota
is 653, and already seven hundred and
sixty men are enrolled from among her
brave sons. We have two companies in
the 9TH Regiment. two companies in the
42d, and one in the list; six gun battery
of Artillery-Capt Cotter; a two gun bat
terry of Artillery-Capt King; and have
furnished three Colonels-Col. Jas. A. Gar
field, Col. VIM. B. Hazcn, Col E. B. Tyler.
In the I'd Ohio Cavalry is ncarly COM
pany of Portage county boys-and in the
9th Cavalry o. V. there will be full COM
pany. Major Stcdman. of the 9th Cavalry,
and Quartermaster Willis, of the 9TH in
fantry, are from Portage county. These
are the prominent items of cur contribu-
ton in aid of the Government, and other
details could be collected which would add
much interest to this record, which we
have not time to elaborate to-day. 1t will
be conceded, We arc sure, that scarce any
county, in proportion to population, has
done more-and none has more cheerfully
responded to the call Of bleeding country.

The weak points Of How Orleans.

\ letter to the y. Y Times, from the
New Orleans blockading feet says:
New Orleans has no fortifcatiOns or de-
fcnses in her rear, and the swamps back of
it are impossible, excepting by the she'll
road and the railroads. Vessels of all
character, drawing not over eleven feet of
water, can ascend Lake POnchartrain to
within SIX miles Of the city. Ten thous-
and rcsolute. determined men could start
from the deep waters of Lake Borgne and
reach. yes, reach, the landing at the city
in fifteen hours There is not an armed
vessel of any Importance upon the lake,
and the land for more than twenty-five
miles around is a low swamp, easily and
effectually swept by the guns of a decent
fleet am also assured that there could
be but one point of opposition upon this
route, ard that is the fort at the main pass
between the two lakes, Borgue and Pom
chartrain. 1t is, however, sadly out of
repair, and mounts but ten or twelve small
guns, and is garrisoned with but two COM
panies Of mihtiamen from Mississippi
If the national Government could once OBJ
tain possession of New Orleans, they could
hold it against the combined power of the
rebels; they could, without the least trouble,
reduce the forts on the Mississippi liver,
ard efectually hold in check many of the
States in rebellion. The common point
touched upon By the citizens as to the re-
suits Of the war, is the fear of an attack
upon their city By the way of the Lake
and they themselves have
said it could be successfully made, and the
place reduced.

The Star points out that there is some
distinction in law as well as in feeling be-
tween friendly powers and powers that are
acknowledged only as belligerents.
On the 2lst there was meeting at the
Admiralty of the leading members of the
cabinet. The consultation lasted over an
hour and was supposed to have reference
to the Nashville.
The Nashville was still at her berth at
Southampton when the Africa left Liver
lo,l, but no movement had been made to
supply her with Goals or stores. or to effect
repairs. A body of police was ON duty in
case of any breach of the peace between
the crews of the Nashville and the Harvey
Birch. The voyage of the Nashville was
stormy, but devoid of interest until she
fell in with th3 Harvey Birch.
