The history of the mysterious naval expedition despatohed from Fortress Monroe under General Butler and Commodore Stringham, has been fully developed by the arrival yesterday, by special train and boat, at Washington of General Butler. The rebel fort at Hatteras Inlet has been captured, ‘and the garrison taken prisoners, Despatches also reached us from Louisville, Ky., whioh arrived there by way of Riohmond and Nash- ville, to the effect that the fleet attacked the rebel fort at Hatteras on Tuesday, and after firing twenty rounds the ammunition of the fort was expended, and the garrison surrendered to General Butler: The fort has, it appears, only been built within a few months, ang had twenty guas mounted. The neighborhood of Fortress Monroe appears to De the scene of much naval activity in the absence of important military movements in that direction. A small rebel tugboat, mounted with rifled cannon, ran out from Norfplk yesterday morning to within ‘two miles and a half of Newport News, and fired twenty-three shots at the United States frigate Saveanah, without doing any damage. As soon as the guns of the frigate were brought to bear on her sho ran out of range, and fired two shells, one at the Seminole and another in the direction of the Bip Raps, after which she got under cover at Bewall’s Point. The War Department has official intelligence that the skirmish of Colonel Tyler's troops, near Summerville, was a truly brilliant affair, and that tae completely crippled the enemy, although they -outmumbered him five to one. The Department also issued an order yesterday ‘to Colonel Thomas F. Meagher, accepting his offer of the Sixty-ninth regiment of volunteers for three eats, and authorizing Colonel Meagher to ar- ‘tange with the colonels of four other regiments to form a brigade, the commandant of which is to be hereafter designated by the government. The War Department is acting with great wis- dom in its mode of filling vacancies in the volunteer forces, by selecting for commissions privates who have distinguished themselves by good conduct and fitness for command. Upon this principle the De- partment is rapidly filling up vacancies withou, any regar. to regular grades of promotion, and in this way it will undoubtedly succced in procuring good officers. We give to-day in full tho result of the court martial on Colonel McCunn, of the Thirty- ecventh New York Volunteers, con:prising the charges, the sentence and the order of General McClellan thereupon, conveying a stringent repri- mand to the accused. This episode goes far to how tho necessity of reforming altogether the mode of appointing officers to comman]) regi- meiite, and proves also that General McClellan will not tolerate insubordination or other unoffi- cerlike conduct in those who serve in hia army, Major General Fremont has issue’ a most im- portant proclamation, declaring the State of Mis- souri under martial law—announcing that all per- sons found in arms against the government will be tried by court martial, and if found guilty, will be shot; that all persuns destroying bridges, rail- road tracks or telegraphs shall suffer the extreme peualty of the law, and further pronouncing all the property, real and personal, of persous found in arms against the United States authorities con fiscated to the public use, and their slaves, if they possess any, to be emancipated and henceforth and forever to be considered as freemen. This extreme course, which the perilous condition of Missouri would seem to render necessany, may bring tha, fitate toa sense of ita duty. Just now the rebel- qious element there is undoubtedly strong, auda- cious and dangerous.

We learn further from St. Louis that a body of 4,500 rebels attacked the Union troops in their en- trenchments at Lexington on Thursday, and were repulsed with a logs of sixty killed; but the ramoF appears to need confirmation. Tho Treasury and Tax act passed by the rebel Congress for the purpose of raising funds for the prosecution of the rebellion, has just been pub- lished in some of the Southern journals, and it is strongly commended by them. The first section authorizes tho issue of ‘Treasury notes to the amount of $100,000,000, deemable six months after peace; and makes them a legal tender in the payment of government taxes and other duties, except the export taxon cotton, The socond section provides for the issue of $100,000,000 of Confederatg vonds, payable in twenty ycars. Theso bouids are to Le sold in effect only for specié or mili- tary stores or foreign bills of exchange. They bear 8 per cent interest, and the interest is payable semi- annually, The third section gives the holders of Treasury notes the option of exchanging said notes for Confederate bonds whenever they may choose thus fo invest. The fourth section provides a war tax en all persons owning more than $500, of fifty cents in the hundred dollars, This tax is for the purpose of supporting the government and of pro- viding for paying the principal and interest of the public debt. re- THE NEWS. By the reports of McCulloch and Price, detailing the incidents of the late battle at Davis’ creek, Missouri, we are enabled to get very near the, number of killed and wounded on tho rebel side during that engagement. We give the figures below, compared With our own loss:— re Union Loss. Rebel Loss. 23 2-7 1,330 166 1,235 1,783 The Newton (N.

The throwing up contracts, it is bo- lieved, will add largely to the oxponditures of gov- ernment for cotton cloths, duck and cordage, no- cessary for both land and naval service Owing to the now-arrivalof tho tow at the usual time yeaterday recoipts of flour were moderate anil in good demand, to fill orders and complete cargoes.

Highly Important from Missouri—Gen. Fremont’s Proclamation of Freedom to Signs of an Impending Battle. Since their late unexpected victory at Ma- nassas the rebels in front of Washington have become remarkably-bold and audacious. They appear to be daily approaching in force nearer our defensive Hnes on the south side of the Potomac, from the Chain Bridge to Alexan- dria, while “hear Leesburg, in a camp some twenty nities. up, ‘the ‘river from said bridge, they are represented as having concentrated a heavy column, threatening to ford the river in that neighborhood,‘and to descend upon Wash- ington in the réar.’ In conjunction with this movement .wé are informed that they expect to stir _yp® rebellion in Maryland, and that te this ond thé secession conspirators on the east- ert shoré of Chesapeake Bay are preparing for an active co-operation with the invading rebels from Virginia. It further appears that the rebel armies in Virginia have pretty nearly exhausted the available stock of provisions of the State, and that in the column of Beaur: there is con- siderable suffering from incident to short allowances of food jothing, and to the irregularities of Southern camp life. Hence we may conclude that thef main -tebel army of Virginia is in that straigened condition which will require of it,,and, a’ few days, a for- ward or a backward movement, for the sake of provisions and the health of the troops. In- flated by their late accidental success, and hungry withal, they are, doubtless, clamorous and impatient for a march upon Washington, and whatever may be the views of Beauregard, it is probable that he will be unable to resist this popular pressure. up And the truth is, thet this-whole Son! rebellion is in that desperate situation which admits of no de- lay, which cannot stand a long campaign, and which can only be saved by the most desperate exertions for short and decisive work. astirfiig battle or two along the line of the Potomac. Let, then, our young and gallant men of New York, and of all the loyal States, desirous of sharing in the glorious Werk of re- pulsing the rebels from the Potemnc, hurry ap the completion of their regiments and be off to Washington. General MeCleHan is confident of a good report against the rebels, no matter when, how or where they may try the experi- ment of reaching Washington; but the stronger we make his army the more decisive and valu- able will be the results. In fact, if promptly and properly strengthened by reinforcements, within ‘a few days Gencral McClellan, in a single dash against. the enemy, may do the work of a whole campaign; | \* We shall not, at all events, be required long to wait for active warlike operations; for if we do not soon attack the rebels they must attack us. Their necessities compel them to fight. They cannot afford to wait. They must do soriething to'get’ England and France to epen their ports for them before December, or they will be incapable of a winter campaign from the lack of shoes and clothing. Thus situated, from the pressure of our blockade by land and sea, and from their dependence upon the North and Europe for the bulk of their clothing fa- brics and manufactured articles. of every de- scription, it will be seen that while we shall gain everything, the rebels wil lose everything by delay. Within a few days, therefore, we may expect the news of some hot work along the Potomac, and from the discipline, order, unity, confidence and enthusiasm established in his various camps by General McClellan, we hope for the best re- sults. At the same time, however, we would again admonish all concerned to make good the Slaves. We publish this morning the highly impor- tant and suggestive proclamation of General Fremont to the peopte of Missouri, establishing martial law throughout the limits of that State, and declaring freedom to the slaves of rebels found in arms against the federal government This is certainly important intelligence, yet, considering the audacities and atrocities of the rebel invasion of Missouri and its local affilia- tions, General Fremont has been driven to the extremities indicated. Among the recent acts of Congress there is one authorizing the con- fiscation of all property, including negroes, con- tributed to the cause of this rebellion. We per- ceive that in the proclamation issued by General Fremont he has adapted it to this act of Congress, which, of course,,Jeaves a margin for the indemnification hereafier of all loyal men in Missouri, who, in consequence of this proclamation, may lose their slave property. But this thing of a general liberation of the slayes belonging to the rebels of our revolted States will unquestionably be the ultimatum of a protracted war. It is only through an early peace and the seasonable return, of the rebel- lious South to the Union that further decrees of this character can be arrested. The occu- pation of Maryland by the enemy, or the viola~ tion of our blockade by England or France, may drive the loyal States to this terrible ex- tremity of an armed crusade against Southern slavery. Pushed to the wall, this measure may be forced upon the government by the loyal States, and upon the plea of self-preservation- It may be argued in favor of the movement that itcannot in any way strengthen this rebellion— that the frantic hostility of the cotton States to the government has already been pushed to its utmost excesses, and that all appeals to the loy- alty and common sense of the slaveholders hay- ing failed, the last resort of appealing to their fears must be tried. The proclamation of emancipation in the re- bellious border slave States, to begin with, asa military movement, it may be contended, would strengthen the military arm of the govern- ment, in calling home from Virginia the their negroes. It is enough for the present that the greatest dangers which have ever menaced Southern slavery are the dangers troops of the cotton States to look after | Union cause beyond all accidents. by immedi_ ate reinforcements at every point te the army of the Potomac. Tue Peace Acrrators Trarrors IN Disavise.——- No one is so ignosant or prejudiced as not to know and admit that there isa sprinkling of men in most of our Northern communities who have been doing their utmost to aid the rebels of the South in their efforts to disintegrate the nation. As it would not be safe for those abettors of treason to proclaim their principles openly, they resort to a safer but much more pernicious mode of attaining their object. As- suming the livery of heaven to serve the devil in, they profess to have their Christian senti- ments shocked and outraged by the spectacle of the brothers of the same race and kindred arrayed in civil war against each other, and they cry out for peace, peace, on any terms, They know how slow the people of the free States were in realizing that there was no possible escape from this war, and they judge from that circumstance that the sham appeal for peace which they put forward will have the effect of at least producing a division in pub- lic sentiment. It is time that they discovered their error. The peace mectings which they have striven here and there to get up have very properly been squelched by the loyal men of the neigh- borhood; and they have had some not very pleasant experiences of the risks which they in- cur by sailing under false colors. Most of these peace agitators weuld be open traitors if they dared, and are probably hired by the rebel leaders to do this very work, and the rest of thom are made up of those who think more of their own petty interests than they do of the safety and welfare of the nation. Under pre- sent circumstances the cry for peace is neither more nor less than a demand for the utter and complete overthrow of the republic. It is quite safe, therefore, to treat all who utter it as public enemies, and to teach them that, how- ever treason may flourish south of the Poto- mac, the region north of it is not congenial soil. Cuance IN Newsparers.—-We learn that Mr. John R. Ford, an india rubber manufacturer, has recently purchased the World, the religious daily that a short time since swallewed the Courier and Enquirer paying for the privilege one hundred thousand dollars in stock. It ap- pears that the purchase of the Courier and En- quirer by the World has been a losing opera- tion, as any person versed in the rules of addi- tion could have told the stockholders before- hand. The Cowrier, having a mortgage against it of upwards of fifty thousand dollars, was, in reality, worth nothing, and, as a matter of couree, its union with the World has turned out a losing operation to the proprietors of that | sheet, and they are now, afier expending two of this rebellion, and that while slavery, espe- i in the cotton and sugar States, will be p | tection of the Union, it is all at sea, will pilot or rad r, under the spurious despoils | Jefferson Davis and his associates, fectly safe under its restoration to the pro- hundred thousand dollars, ¢ompelled to sell | the whole concern for thirty thousand.

The sooner those n- \Felieved of the prospects of the expense of two ‘funerals, “Punch” on the American Rebellion. We publish in another part of to-day’s paper selection of extracts from the London Pu upon the American rebellion, which nish additional proof, if further evidence ere r@quired, of the animus of a certain por- ion of English people toward loyal Ame- cans in their efforts to preserve the Union and the constitution, under whose benign itfluences } we have become a great and powerful nation. * It cannot be denied that Mr. Punch has said some smart and humorous things; but aside from an occasional scintillation of wit, and the reproduction of hackneyed illus- jtrations of London cockney life, his effusions, ,8 a general thing, have been exceedingly dull. John Bull, however, has innocently persuaded shimself into the belief that they are witty, and we have no disposition to quarrel with him for | indulging so harmless an opinion. But we can- not animadvert in too severe terms upon the -course which Mr. Punch has pursued in taking Accordingly, we may expect soon to hear of advantage of our present difficulties to perpe-, Ptrate his witticisms in the shape of doggefel verse; for in doing 80 he has not only shown L himself ungrateful, but devoid of those finer ‘feelings which distinguish the humax from the brute creation. While we all appreciate the smart retorts agd the brilliant sallies f wit that enliven the social circle, i instinctively shrink, in obedience to ‘a law of qind, from the perpetration of jokes and the exergise of a spirit of levity in the hour of affliction; and whenever we see @ man 60 destitute of the instincts of our common nature as to make sport of the misfortunes of his fel- lows, we pronounce him to be unfit to mix in ‘civilized society. And this is precisely what “Mr. Punch, has done, In this hour of trial to the ‘republic we do not seek for British assistance, nor even for active sympathy, but we have a right to @xpect from Juhu Bull the same treat- -ment that he received at the hands of Brother Jonathan in the time of his extremity. Does Mr. Bull forget the sympathy which was evinced for him by Jonathan when he had his troubles in India? Were the American journals filled with sneers, and jokes, and witticisms when England was almost on the eve of ruin, in consequence of the terrible mutiny in India? Did the American people puzzle their brains in constructing mise- rable poetry ridiculing the perilous position of the British government? Not so; but, on the contrary, the whole body of the American peo- ple sympathized with the mother country by turning aside from their secular avocations to pray for the suppression of the rebellion and the success of the British arms in India. How anxiously the American public watched the career of General Haveluck—rejoicing when he met with brilliant successes, and weeping at the recital of his defeats; and when the intelligence reached us of his fall on the battle field, the colors at half-mast on our vessels, and other demonstrations of sorrow, proved the high regard in which he was held by Americans, not leas for his valor asa soldier than‘ for those high moral qualities with which he was so largely endowed. The feelings of the American public were not only enlisted in behalf of England, when her peace was threat- ened and her henor assailed by foreign powers, but even during the Canadian rebellion she had all the moral support which our government could constitutionally give her. It should be known that Brother Jonathan does not often cry; but on the occasions to which we have adverted he really wept and prayed, and expressed the deepest sympathy for Eng- land, while he complied with the instructions of Holy Writ to “rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with those that weep.” this be so, John Bull will not consider Brother Jonathan unduly sensitive if he feels chagrined at being requited for his voluntary and earnest sympa- thy in the hour of trial by the perpetration of coarse witticisms and machine verses. If John Bull entertains the idea that the manufacture of sach doggerel will dissuade twenty millions of Americans from maintaining their government and preserving their nationality against the combined attacks of disaffected citizens and the covert and open attacks of foreign Powers, the sooner he disabuses his mind of such an erroueous impression the better it will be for himself. Tre Sextence or CoLoneL, McCuns—GrENERAL, MoCLeLLan’s Reprimanp.—The Court Martial which tried Colonel McCunn, of the New York Thirty-seventh regiment, for unof%cerlike con- duct in resisting the authority of the Provost Marshal, found him guilty of the charges, and sentenced him to be reprimanded by the Com- manding General. That reprimand has been promulgated, and a more severe thongh digni- fied one a soldier has rarely been compelled to receive. General McClellan, in ratifying and carrying out the sentence of the court, hus ad- ministered a wholesome lesson to all volunteer officers, which is much needed, and which, we trust, will have a good effect. If the General continues to desl with cases like that of Colonel McCunn in a similar manner, he will soon have the army in a state of efficiency worthy of the orisis in which the country stands. The order of General McClellan in this case is an able and soldierly document. Assuming that the lenient sentence of the court was im- posed in consideration of the inexperience of the accused as a soldier, he consents to ratify it rather than to reject it aud order a new trial, as he ix empowered todo. He says that the record shows Colonel McCunn to be ignorant of the first principle of all soldiers—implicit obedience to proper authority. He approves the conduct of Lieutenant Hunter, the Provost Marshal’s deputy, in demanding the pass from the accused, which, he says, should have been obeyed “as respectfully and implicitly as if the demand had been made by the Commanding General in person.” Colonel McCunn, he adds, ahowed by his demoanor “that he bas yet to cerns are united the earlier will the public be. ‘| vernment to prevent their family quarrels. learn at least two things before he becomes competent to command a regiment, and these are self-command and respect for proper autho- rity.” So severe a rebuke from so gallant a soldier in high authority as General McClellan cannot fail to have a beneficial result upon our volunteer officers, and, indeed, upon the entire army, in keeping them to the strict line of duty. Neither rank nor inexperience is any excuse for disobe fen tojsuperior authority in a sol- dier, and shis'fpot the Commandi:.g General has ity expressed in dealing with & great deal of ill-suppke and dissension among the’ re seen reports of this from differeh although every effort is made by #8 ting wind out of their own household, the: not been entirely successful in doing so. xists 1 great deal of jealousy 4 of the different rebel States; those from m States, in particular, treating with ih#Mag, contempt the Virginians, even on their owt! soil, “We beard of a very serious outbreak arising, from .this..cayse when the rebels under General Jt Johnston’, were oc” cupying Harper’s Ferry, which was said th ve | that the same trouble has broken out afresh }’ resulted in great loss of life; and we in among the rebels at Yorktown and Norfolk, and that, after a terrible scene, in which several lives were lost, it became necessary to separate the Virginia troops from those of Alabama and other cotton States.

Such is the condition of things to which this mad rebellion has brought the Southern people. They revolted against a government which they only knew by its benefits, and now they are trodden under the iron heels of their own milt tary chieftains. The troops of one State are jealous of and embittered against those of an- other, and the civil authorities are vainly endea- et F voring to protect their citizens from the outrageous despotism. That is one element of weakness ifi-.this re- bellion, and one that must, of itself, pipye fatal to themovement.

It appears that Greeley, from his Tribune battery, threw a shell at the Albany lobby, about the members of which no one must say anything, but about whom you can think as badly as you please—and still not think badly enough. Well, the shell wag better aimed than that thrown at Richmond, and fell directly among the lobbyists, causing a great scattering, and severely wounding, among others, Mr. Speaker Littlejohn, who gives Greeley this libel suit by way of a recoil: Thurlow Weed and a great number of New York politicians, great and small, have been summoned as witnesses, and if the trial is only fairly conducted we shall have such a shaking out of dusty political rags and such a hanging up of dirty political linen as the public have not witnessed for many a long day. There will’ be a hundred collateral issues besides the main question—‘“is Litdlejohn guilty of bribery and corruption?” and the damages are—or ought to be—laid at about one hundred and fifty thou- sand dollars. In language more succinct than classic, we think we see the plaintiff getting that amount. Now, in this suit our sympathies are with Greeley— ‘A follow feeling makes us wondrous kind— and we chanee to be just now precisely in the” same box with the Hon. Massa. A random shot: from our rified cannon struck: among the shoddy pedlers, bored a great hole through the Military Board, and created consternation and confusion among the Albany clique generally. To our extreme surprive, therefore, one of the members of the Board began a libel suit against us, and in due time the public will be jnformed of the pros and cons of the case. On our side we are preparing an immense broad~ side, with which we calculate to bidw our an- tagonist out of water as neatly and? sclontifically as the frigate St. Lawrence did the privateer , Petre. We tender our, warm. sympathies, then, to our amiable, soft hearted—not to»say’ recently soft headed—-cotemporary, and are: willing to assist him by any means in our power. If we can do anything to relieve him in his trouble he has only to let us know.
