Accounfs from the North are very explicit
in their admission <4‘ the objects of the several
exiieditipns of a mixed cheracler, being fitted
out for operatifins on the Southern coast. One
of these object** is generlaly announced to J>e
toiseize and re open to the •commci’ce of tl*e
. world a leading cotton port. It is .reconimen*
dod that, on tli o occupation of such a port, she
commanding general of the Lincoln force should
invife all “leyal” i?izens of the South to se’nd
tnqjr cotton.thither for*ahipme&t, offering fif-’
or twenty cents/i pound for cotton, and
trying, by art possible bribes, the attachment
of the planters to the Southern cause.* ,
This commercial adventure is strongly urged
by the New V 4| si’L papers in'yiew of the great?
decline in their exrorts, which are scarcely # oife
tliird more than at corresponding peribds i,n
1861. The Lincoln rtiust find an
outlet*for (Jkj cotton.* *lt docs not® occur to
these theorists that even.the occupation of a
principal cotton port in flic South would not ad
vance their scheme, and Apt tire planting in
terests ©f the Sontli could never *be seduced°to
further it* even iV they were, as Ihp N*cw Ytfrk
Herald says they are, “suffering for want of the
■ necessaries gs life.”
’ • The'objcct of .the irf seeking to ok
ta'in possession of Brunswick, oy the Georgia
coast, would scarcely he to gefcotton, even if
the people i?ere‘ willing to forward if. It is,
howej cr, doubtless an* pbject of the Lincoln
Government,.as far as it can be asftertaiaed by
the* declarations of the Northoj*n papers, to have
a station on the Atlantic coast Bk)rtth of Hamp
ton Roads, at which their fleets cpuld rendez

It is probaWc that there is much exaggera

thaf twenty-five thousand troops * are aboard a
fleet destiyed for the * South. Sttoh a nmnjier
qf nvi tii amunftiition, ,*c;*nip equippage,
