double-turreted monitors will make
part Of the feet The flagship will
lie the Colorado. She will drop anchor
for several months in the harbor of
Marseilles, and then the rest of the
feet will scatter for various points of
the sea. About ten vessels will cruise
about the British Isles and in the
North Sea. The ocean, at the time
Of the year designated, is generally
smooth as duck pond, and the iron
clads, it is presumed, will get across
bravely. Admiral Goldsborough's
private boat will be a small steam
vessel called the A. d. Vance. The
object of this expedition is to acquaint
our pilots with European harbors, and
to test the sea-going qualities of our
marine, as well as to show Europe the
advance we have made in naval archi
lecture and gunnery.

Mexican intelligence shows consid-
cradle activity in military matters,
with the advantage generally in favor
of the Liberal troops. Gen. Vega, I'm
perialist, was surprised and captured
by the Liberals, and afterwards shot.
In the Northern States the Liberals
are represented as sweeping every
thing before them. General Mejia's
communications, at Matamoras, are
entirely cut off, and, unless he re-.
ceives reinforcements. his position is
extremely critical. Macmillan has
sent his Chief of Cabinet to Washing
ton on special mission.
Late advices from New Orleans con-
firm the occupation of Monterey by
1000 Liberals under General Negrete.
After occupying the place, he levied a
forced loan Of $4,000 in specie. to
pay off his troops. In the fight at
Saltillo several Imperial Generals
were wounded but escaped.
The bitterness Of the Mexican PEG.
pie against the Emperor is on the in.
crease. and strong convictions exist
that the Liberals will receive strong
achievements from this side of the
Rio Grande.

What the "Press" say of us.

GREAT CIR DIsrRIBUTIoy.-A rare opportu-
nifty is offered for obtaining watches, chains,
diamond rings, silvcrware, etc, by Messrs Ar
RANDALL & Co, at No. 1877 Broadway. They
have an immense stock of articles, varying in
value, and all are offered at one dollar each.
The distribution is very fairly done-you agree
to take a certificate of certain article, enclos-
ed in an envelope, and are not required to pay
your dollar unless you are satisfied with the ar
ticle, which will certainly be worth more than
that amount, and may be $50 or 500. An
excellent mode this of investing dollar

EMPLOYMENT FOR LADIEs.-The most eligible
and profitable employment we have heard of
for ladies, is the sale of certificates for the
Great Gift Distribution of Arrandale & Co. A
lady of our acquaintance has been very success
full in this way, not only in filling her own
purse, but also in doing a good turn To those
to whom she sold the Certificates, as will be
seen by our advertising columns. Gentlemen
can also be thus engaged.-N. !. Sunday lHer-

tisement of Arrandale & Co. Gift Distribu-

Nov. 26th, 1864, one of our lady subscribers
became an agent FOR Arrandale & Co., and by
request brought some twenty articles sent as
prizes for her agency. to this Office for inspec.
ton, and without hesitation we can state that
each and all of the articles were worth treble
the amt unit of cost to the recipients, and some
of them six times.
AGENTS-We want agents in every rcgi-
ment, and in every town and county in the
country, and those acting as such will be al
lowed 10 cents on every Certificate ordered by
them. provided their remittance amounts to
one dollar. Agents will collect 25 cents for
every Certificate, and remit 10 cents to us, ei.
ther in cash or postage stamps.

Southern Barbarians.


OF all the features of the accused
rebellion now PROSTATE, that which
has been scared most deeply into the
minds of the loyal people has been the
treatment. of our prisoners at the
hands of the Southern people. There
is not to be found in the English Ian,
guage any word strong enough to be
applied to it. To call it heinous, infa.
nous or devilish, utterly fails to char
acterize it. OF oil the memories of the
war, this is that which will leave the
deepest, most abiding scar. When
Andrew johnson said that mercy with
out justice was a crime, he told a
truth which goes straight home to the
heart of the nation. The ringleaders
of the rebellion, militaryas sceA as eirii,
determined on the destruction of our
prisoners as q clever scheme for weak
ening our force, and carried it out
with q zest worthy of familiar of
the Inquisition. When Colonel Geer,
of the 1881 Ohio regiment, tells us
that at AndersonvilIe he counted 2S7
prisoners who had lost both feet from en-.
posHre, and that men were reduced to
such straits of starvation that he saw
one catch, cook and eat snake, he
simply adds another page to the long
and hideous story which never will be
fully told, and Of which the glimpses
that reach the light are enough to
make the coldest-hearted turn sick. 1t
would seem as il all the horrors which
have stained the page of history
through centuries had been studied
and put to use by these Southerners up
on our men. sr 49,. ....... ss. -

Weilcs must know full well that our GoTern-

prevent the sailing Of these. vessels. The
que stion of right itself Was legally dcbatable,
md eEen if it had not been, the means Of eVa.
sion were 50 numerous that the efforts Of any

real source OF The mischief Was the incf1cieney
or rather the pre-occupation, Of that navy

time the Federals had more than enough to
do in giving charact er.-of efficiency to the
ptodisious blockade which they had undcrta-
kfh. and In the interval 4 couple OF Southern
cruisers ranged the seas uncontrolled. The
event might have been un9voidable, but It's
consequences should not be laid thus unjustly
at our door.
