Gun ROTTEN GOVERNMENT TRANSPORTS-THE
eAMs ExPEDTIoN.-The people of this city
have been, for the last two or three days, in
state of great indignation from the reports
which have been published concerning the YES
ssls of the Banks expedition compelled to put
into Southern harbors in distress, or else to
founder at sea. This important expedition
sailed from this port, as it was supposed, in
frst class transports, capable Of resisting the
Sorce Of wind and storm; and yet, in very
few days. they have been compelled to run into
port or sink. This is a disgraceful affair to
those concerned. Some Of the vessels engaged as
transports, as it now appears, were utterly
worthless and unserviceable-in every way unfit
for the government or any other service. And
yet, to serve the cupidity and interests Of some
parties, these unseaworthy crafts were palmed
off on the government and permitted to go to
sea freighted with the lives Of the brave de-
tenders of the Union. The want of patriotism
oan scarcely 60 farther. Such an outrage, in
fact, has rarely been perpetratsd.
We are glad to see that Senator Grimes has
taken up the matter in the Senate and demand
Cd an investigation into the facts; and we are
still more pleased to learn that his proposition
has been adopted. Whoever the parties may
be who are engaged in this affair, they should
be made to suffer condign punishment. This Is
che only way to prevent repetition of such
OutraQes.

Ee wrote 10 President Lincoln that he had seen
6sG Davis and had important news, which
might lead TO cessation Of hostilities. On tho
k6th Secretary Stanton telegraphed him to
0ome ON to Washington. To Washington the
Chsvalier Greene accordingly went. The Pre-
sidsnt greeted him in IAN easy affsble man
her." and ordered no other visitors to be ad-
mitted that morning. The Cheyalier began his
story, with the fear of Fort McHenry before his
eyes, by stating that he chad been guilty Of
home irregularity, perhaps impropriety." The
President promised his protection, and the
CAevalier revealed his verbal message from
Jeff. Davis. After hearing the peace propo-
sails, "Mr. Lincolns first remark was, without
moments hesitation, Il see nothing objection
able in them.'" Secretary Stanton was then
i'Oalled in and the President repeated to him the
propositions, "omitting, however, all that re-
lated to the Fugitive Slave law" The same
evening the Chcvalier was called before .
Cabinet meeting and subjected to 80 most
searching inquiry" Secretary Stanton twas
Shs principal questioner. Mr.. Seward asked .
1sw questions and Mr.. Lincoln few. No one
else asked any" The Cabinet members were
greatly amused at JEFF. Davis remark about the
emancipation proclamation, "the President
takng the lead" As for Secretary Stan
t0n, however, 80 semi-fendish vindictive-
ness" distinguished him throughout the
Interview JEFF. Davis view Of the pro-
elsmation, says the Chevalier, "greatly
pleased the President, because it fattered his
vanity, and thought that could read in his
eountenance that he deemed the proclamation
stroke of statesmanship that posterity would
regard as the boldest and grandest conception
Of military strategy" The President evidently
did nos please the Chevalier, for he writes that
Mr.. Lincoln looked like "the highest type of
despot" JEFF. Davis, ON the contrary, looked
like patriot. Several other meetings with the
President and with Stanton succeeded, and
then the Chevalier Greene was presented with
tho sum Of one hundred dollars and was 80
pitiful sum for such news. We should have
paid one Thousand dollars for it, and published
i In the HERALD, If We could have been salts
Aod that it was true. As the Chevaiier Greene
now swears to 1t, how can We longer doubt its
sorrectnesss We congratulate the President
therefore, upon having bought peace proposals
% oheaply. We condole with the Chevalier
Greene upon having made 20 little by this
latest and boldest venture. We assure the
radicals that this trap, like the one which Bar
ney baited, has caught neither our honest Pre-
Gdent nor the conservative party. The ad-
ministration has "dropped the propositions" !"
and yet there has been "no such howling about
Gheir ears as will compel them to do some
thing" in the peace line. The people are be-
coming every day more and more convinced
hat this radical rumpus about overtures from
che rebels is designed only to pave the way for
Gisunion.
