RaE- The last of the naval expeditions, so
far as we are at present advised, will soon
have left New York. We allude to Captain
Porters mortar feet, comprising twenty-six
vessels, each carrying fifteen or thirteen
inch mortars, and armed, in addition, with
one or two of the largest calibres OF rifled
guns. This feet is to be divided into three
divisions, each, it is surmised, for different
destination. Two of these vessels have al
ready sailed, and they will all have cleared
New York Harbor before the end of another
week. They will be heard from in due
time. Ericsson's iron clad battery will be
in working trim by the 1st CT February

SoBDIERs PUNISHED. Corporal Geo. H..
Holland and private Jeremiah Rsney of Co.
I, gath Regiment Indiana Volunteers, have
been tried by court martial for desertion.
Holland was sentenced to be shot but the
sentence was mitigated to hard labor with
ball and chain during the war, and with
the forfeiture of all pay. Raney's SEN

That he forfeit all pay and allowances
which are or may become due him up to
the 31st day of January, 1862, excepting
the Just dues of the sutler and laundress and
to refund to the United States the cost of
his apprehension, sixty dollars; to have
half bis head closely shaved and to stand

b0- We publish, this morning, additional

6T Wepublish, this morning, additional
particulars Of the battle at Somerset. Our
loss, we are pleased to learn, is not near so
heavy al at first represented. The CORES
pondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial says
the loyal East Tennesseeans fought like
tigers, and carried one battery at the point
of the hayonet. Long have they desired
the opportunity of striking blow at their
oppressors and in behalf of the flag for
which they have suffered 30 much, and
when the time came they did strike hard.
The Louisville Democrat, in commenting
on the victory, says:
If Generals Thomas and Sehoepf, with
Col Munson's brigade, will cross the Cum
berland at the earliest possible moment and
push down into Tennessee via Albany, they
can take possession of the East Tennesses
and Virginia railroad, and cut off all com
munication between the forces in Virgins
and in West Tennessee, while those now a
Columbus and Bowling Green will have al
to do they can possibly want to keep thei
entertainments. If Boyle's brigade shoul
join the others, they might, after taking th
railroad, move west upon Nashville an
take it, with force enough to hold it agains
any attack. We :presume, however, ths
Gen. Buell. will manage the affair in a prop
er manner, aud with promptness.

Our attention has been repeatedly called
to the fact that all the medicines used in
our General Hospital and by the regin1ental
surgeons 10 this vicinity are sent here from
Louisville and Cincinnati. Our own drug
stores, with heavy stocks on hand, are not
allowed to furnish drugs to the hospital
while their trade is almost annihilated by
the blockade. We have lately received in
formation which leads Us to believe that the
house of Eckstein & Cor Druggists of Gin
cinnati, have rowing Commission to send
drugs to whatever regiment they see proper
advising the surgeon that herewith they
send three months supply of rnedicines,'e
&c. DR.. Bray, the Surgeon of tie Goth, was
astonished the ether day by tie receipt of a
lot of medicines, (sufficient to start drug
store and last regiment Eve years which
he had never ordered or asked for. The
letter with the medicines indicates that this
lotds /" three months supply" and another
invoice may therefore be looked for in
April. Many of the articles senta are worth
less and cannot be used. BY what authority
do Eckstein & Co. send their drugs through
the country without acquisitions from the
Surgeons What officer appointed Drug
House in Cincinnati to supply regiments
ad kbitun with all the nostrums they see fit
to send
What article ofwar" is it that regulates
the number of pills and the quantity of ia
lap to be taken by. each regiment, every
three months These are interesting in
quiries, and worthy of response from the
authorities who have given their friends,
here and there, fat contracts to supply the
army, not only with bread and meat, but
with physie. = = 9 e
If Messrs. Eckstein & Co. have this con-
tract for furnishing Indiana regiments, it
would be nice sum TO figure up the net
profits of sirty-taUo similar invoices sent four
times year to the regiments Of Indiana.
If the army has to face the horrors of the
battlefield, and in addition thereto, be pois-
oned by drugs, at all eventslet onr dealers
have chance. We venture to says that
the drug stores of this city can put up as
nauseous and abominable doses as their more
favored contemporary of Cincinnati.

/ RYE CoFFEE.-Rye mixed with coffee Is
now used at the State Benevolent Institu-
tons in and near this city. The substitute
for the pure article is pretty fair in taste,
and the saving to the State in this one item
of expense alone will amount to large
sum at the close of the year. There is a
considerable difference between coffee at Is
cents pound and rye at l cent. A great
number of persons are now mixing rye
with their coffee. The high price of coffee
has caused this effort at economy, and many
say they prefer the mixed article to the
clear berry of foreign lands.-Ind. Journal
