THE YACHTS OFF SANDY HoOK-Fifteen or
sixteen yachts, under the direction of the Com
modore of the New York Yacht Club, rendez-
vous at Sandy Hook to-day, for the purpose of
feet maneuvring, trials Of speed, boat racing
and all sorts of aquatic sports and exercises
The yachts will remain in that vicinity for five
or six days, and the sports will be agreeably
diversified 1t is by no means improbable that
many of the yachts will engage in ocean races
or start off on short cruises along the coast to
Barnegst or Fire Island. The officers of foreign
armed vessels and of our own navy have been
invited to be present at the gathering. which
will undoubtedly be most brilliant one. v.
To say nothing of the recreation and amuse-
ment afforded by such rendezvous US this, the
members of the Yacht Club will find them
selves the gamers in practical seamanship.
The Seventh regiment went into camp
on Staten Island two or three years
ago, and the knowledge thus acquired
was Of great service when the regi-
ment was called upon to take the Held against
the rebels So our yachtsmea may be enabled
to turn their nautical skill to practical account
some day or other as privateersmen or naval
officers, and the more they can. now learn the
more efficient they will be in the future. In
deed, no one can say that one Of the rebel pri-
vateers now cruising of Sandy Hook may not
make its appearance in the height Of the enjoy
ment Of the present rendezvous. If so, we shall
| hear of some admirable man9uvriDg and splen-
did sailing. The yachts will show the nautical
world some new tacks and artful lodges and
gether unprecedented. The possibility Of such
an event will but add zest to the excitement Of
this salt water festival, however, and no yachts
man worthy Of the name will be deferred by
such consideration from keeping his appoint
/ ment at the rendezvous.

THE CENSORSHIP OF THE PRESS APPROACHING
THE SUBLIME.-As an instance of the efficiency
of the censorship which is exercised over the
kilograms for the Northern papers by the Balti-
more authorities, we append the following tele.
gram frsm one of our correspondents. 1t will
be seen at glance that, had this information
been allowed to reach us and been published
in the HERALD, the results might have been
awful -
BALTIMORE.
No train up road yesterday to-day. Will 60 up to-
will letters Of Martnsburg and Harper's Fer.
ry affairs be published in HERALD Tuesday, Any orders
To the most careless observer the danger of
the above telegram would at once be apparent.
Our readers no doubt remember the celebrated
case of Pickwick vs.. Bardell, and will recall to
mind how Sergeant Buzfuz saw in the words
"Chops and tomato sauce" the evidences OF a
deep laid conspiracy to rob poor lone widow
of her peace Of mind. Here we have a still
more hsnous case, and a censor who is far
more acute than even the learned Buzfuz. mo
train up road yesterday or to-day" To the un-
initiated these words seem simple enough; but
to the censor they are contraband; and what
shall we say of "any orders?" What danger to
the State might not have lurked under these
wordss The censor was aghast He at once
stopped that telegram, and saved the country.
1t is said by some i'll natured persons that the
kilograms for the New York journals are kept
back at Baltimore by those in the interest Of
the Baltimore dailies But Of course that musi
be a slander. 1t is naught but stern sense Of
duty which actuates the censor. When he finds
such dangerous telegram as that above given
he at all risks retains 1t.

THE CONTEST AT PoRr HUpsoN.-Our latest
| reliable sdvices frou General Banks army
clearly show that the only thing that has pre-
OF men. Had he the available forces that he is
generally understood to lave, Port Hudson
would have been taken when the attack was
made upon it in the latter part 0f May.
Thus the imbecility of the War Department
at Washington has not only delayed the cap
ture of Port Hudson, but has postponed the
opening of the Mississippi and the final triumph
of our arms The laws passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress gave them ample power to
call into the field force that would enable
our generals to meet the rebels at every point
with superior force to that which could be
brought against them But the heads of tho
departments have been so busy with their in
trgues and President making that they have
literally done nothing to execute those laws
They could have secured ample means in one
months time to crush the rebellion had they
used one-tenth part of the energy displayed by
Governor Seymour in sending troops to
Pennsylvania. But in the case OF General
Banks we have long had the impression
that there was another game being played.
When Gen. Banks was Governor of Massachu-
setts conspiracy was started against him by
tho radicals in that State to get him out Of
the way. Among the leaders Of that
movement were the two men who now re.
Senate. They feared General Banks popularity
and his superior practical talents Hence the
necessity of putting him in the background
Circumstances connected with General Banks
campaign in the Shenandoah valley and other
events Of the war indicate that the War De.
partment has taken up that conspiracy. These,
with the attacks made upon General Banks by
the radical organs soon after he arrived at New
Orleans, give strength to the rumor that he
was sent there to be killed of politically.
Hence the failure to give him the support neces-
sary to cope with the rebels in his department.
The radicals have not been more sue
cessful in this attempt to ruin Banks
than they were with their Shenandoah
valley programme. General Banks rises higher
and higher in the public estimation every
time that they attempt to disgrace him.
Thanks to his military ability, notwithstand-
ing the War Department has failed to give
him the support necessary, he has so managed
his department that the capture of Port Hudson
is certain. 1t is only question of time. The
action of the War Department has merely caused
the sacrifice of many more valuable lives than
was necessary and postponed the day of
trsr ko will oil kho
greater glory when the place falls into his
hands, Our latest advices set down his sue
cess certain.

1OCAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE GuERRILLAs in the neighborhood o
Rompev, New Greek, and other towns il
that section, nave of late become very
troublesome. Scarcely day passes with.
ont some depreciation being committed, and
the people are consequently in constant
dread of these free.booters. A few day,
ago gentleman was proceeding to his
home with valuable cargo, thu wagon
being laden with groceries, dry goods. ETC.,
with which he intended to replenish the
stock in his store. When driving along a
secluded portion OF the road, he was pounc-
ed upon by band of guerrillas, who ap-
propriated the lead horse, one of the
mules. and all the dry goods and groceries
he had in the wagon. The articles were
taken from the wagon and placed in the
saddle baggs thorwn across the backs of
the gnerrilla's horses. The gentleman's
watch was taken from him, but when he
stated that it was gift from his departed
mother, the guerrillas returned it to him,
and told him he could have one mule to
ride home on. The two mules had been
raised together, and the owrer know they
could not we'll be separated. When be
reached his home he secured the mule in
the stable, and it was with difficulty that
he prevented him from breaking away. On
the morning OF the third day after the cap
ture, he had the satisfaction of seeing the
stolen mule standing at the stable door,
making desperate efforts to obtain admit
lance. The two mules were taken to the
spot where the wagon had been left, hitch
ed to it, and driven home. The horse and
goods taken by the guerrillas were valued
at near FIVE hundred dollars.
One day last week an old gentleman
awoke to see ban of guerrillas leaving his
premises with valuable team. He dress
ed hastily, aud followed them several miles,
when be came upt0 the party. He was
placed in the wagon and taken to guerrilla
headquarters, who're he met number of
