d of this month the United States will have a large fleet on the coasts and on the rivers, and I have reason to think that an expedition will be organized also to attack the Texan Secessionists from the West--far as that is away. A naval officer said to me the other day: it seems as if the moment an American sees an Englishman, he thinks the latter is going to say something about cotton: "You need not be afraid of any want of cotton in England. By October we will have a few good ports down South, and plenty of cotton for all the world." Fernandina may possibly go soon; there is an eye on Pensacola also, and New Orleans is by no means safe. The condition to which the blockade has reduced many classes in the South is bad enough — it will become worse. Tea, coffee, and clothing, are nearly exhausted, or have, as the American phrase has it, "given out," because there is none to give out at all. Lead, sulphur, and salt, are very scarce.

expenditure, are the best if not the only chance of compromise and peace. Successes on either side revives the hopes of complete ultimate triumph of the one, and stimulates the animosity and the display of the resources of the other. There is one thing to be taken into consideration as an element of peace. During the winter the armies must go into quarters. Even so far south as Virginia the weather is frequently very severe; snow lies many feet deep on the ground for weeks at a time. The Potomac is occasionally frozen over completely. The roads always indifferent, become rivers of mud and slush through which it would be nearly impossible to move men, and guns, and baggage. When the armies are in winter quarters, will the politicians work for peace or for war?--Or will the leaders of divisions be permitted to carry on operations in the ice and snow, remembering the great success of Washington after the traject, which is so often represented in bad engravings all over North Ameri

therners have acted, in the language they have used in familiar correspondence and in the press, when speaking of the United States. They never mention the name of the ex-great Republic. The United States Army is to them "Lincoln's mercenaries;" tistency, and the rigidity of his principles among his party; but his doctrines would most likely end in confining the United States to the original New England settlements, or in establishing a dictatorship resting on bayonets. What prelacy, poperyh the Government of California, and who has come out of private life in that State in order to lead the troops of the United States. The Navy Department is making prodigious efforts to procure cannon, and several English firms, regardless of the Quer. The South must die of atrophy after a time, if every channel of line is shut to it.

They endeavor to fix on the President the direct personal responsibility of the whole conflict, and to restrict the agents he uses in waging it to the Yankees of the New England States.

to the field from their States in excellent style, and I was very much struck by the completeness of the way in which the 18th Massachusetts Regiment was turned out, with baggage wagons, tents, uniforms, horses, commissariat transport, so that it was ready for a campaign in all respects, except that the men — fine, stout, hardy-looking fellows — were not acquainted with their drill. The Vermont Regiment was provided with splendid attelege, and on Saturday we had a splendid battalion from Pennsylvania. But there is still great inequality in the arms, equipments, and efficiency of the line. Col. Burnside, now promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, is appointed to take charge of all the regiments on their arrival, and to get them into working order before they are sent across the river. Everything is done that can be effected by the superior officers, but the men still indulge in grumbling, and now and then shoot each other. Eventually, however, and in no long time, there will be

It is obviously the interest of Beauregard to strike a great blow before winter sets in, and thus strengthen the base for negotiations; but Gen. McClellan, I am satisfied, will not move a man if he can help it until the very end of this month or the beginning of October. About that time there will be kind inquiries about the second fifty millions of the loan, and no doubt increased vigor on the part of those who are opposed to the war. But if Gen.
