The expeditions.

The four Yankee expeditions by sea against the South, have as yet accomplished nothing important. Their equipment must have afforded an immense demand on the merchant marine of the Northern cities, and their conception may be probably due to Yankee cunning. There are none more rampant for putting down rebellion and annihilating the rebels than the owners of unemployed vessels in Portland, Boston, New Bedford, New York, and a host of Yankee ports. They shout for the Government and execrate the South to some purpose! The war is to them a harvest, the like of which they never had. Even the old whalers of New Bedford that were unfit for sea, were sold to great advantage to be used in the stone blockade! The mercenary ship owners have certainly done better with these projects than the Government. Like the offspring of Sin in Milton's ‘"Paradise Lost,"’ these heartless Yankees are eating into the very vitals of their own Government! Let them eat on!
