DBEW Associate Editob The allied fleet of England, France and Spain, destined to act against Mexico, for a redress of the injuries and losses sustained by these governments and their subjects at the hands of the people of the Republic, has already sailed for thia country. It is expected that the united force will assemble at Havana between the 15th and 20th of this month. The attention of the public has been diverted from thia important expedition by the troubles of the day, bnt we cannot fail to view with intense interest, the first forcible interference with the affairs of this continent by the leading powers of the Old World. We cannot but believe, that behind the ostensible object of the expedition) each nation has ulterior and far reaching designs, which may eventually interfere materially with the welfare of this government. It is impossible for the administration, after having just concluded a treaty with Mexico, to join with the powers of Europe, in establishing ft new order of things in that distracted country. And it is a matter of surprise that those powers should have deferred their expedition against the Republic of Mexico, until the Government of the United States was hope lessly involved in a mighty struggle to sup press a vast insurrection. So far as Eqgland U concerned, we may well call in ques tion, the purity of her iuleution?. At bet, our relations witu that country are in a delicate condition, and the Mason and Sli dell matter will not, by any means, sarve to render a peace between the two countries more probable. We are not so certain but that England is u-ing Mexico as a pretext to keep her fleets in the waters of the Gulf, without waking any alarm in the minds of our Government aud people, to use them if necessary, upon our Southern ports. The Monroo doctrine is as so m l to-day, as it was when Monroe enunciated it, and it. would be well for those nations to con sider that the rebellion in this country is already in its death throes, and that at the conclusion of the war, we will have a mil lion of men drilled and armed, ready, if need be, to drive from the coutiueut the ar mies of European schemers against the in tegrity of our government. The great ex pedition which now is steaming across the ocean to subdue a sister Republic, may be for ought we know the opening act of a great drama, iu which the thrones of Europe will be overthrown, and republican institutions reared in their places. It is possible that the hour is approaching, wben not only the slaves of America shall be free, but the masses of the Old World, down-trodden for ages, shall assert their independence, and the great truth of the Declaration of Independence, that "all men are born free and equal," shall become the foundation of new governments across the sea. However, this may be, the result of this war will prove to the world that Republicau Institutions alone, can give strength and stability to a government and happiness and freedom to the people. It will show that not only is a republican government powerful enough to crush treason at home, but able, if need be, to protect itself from the asasult of foreign powers, and protect a weak, ei3ter Repub lic from the machinations and designs of foreign monarchies. ———<>——— ——>We are informed that the Cannelton Cotton Mill, owing to the scarcity of cotton, will shortly suspend operations. It has been running on half time for several months. The mill employs four hundred operatives, and disburses in ordinary times over $10,000 a month. The stopping of the mill throws out of employment a large number of persons who have no other means of gaining a livelihood. The proprietors have expressed a willingness to run the mill, even at a loss, but it is found almost impossible to procure the raw material. The Cannelton Cotton Mill is one of the institutions of the State, equal if not superior to any mill of like character in the country, and its temporary suspension is a matter of regret to the citizens of Southern Indiana. We hope the day is not far distant when its vast and complicated machinery will be again in motion. ———<>——— ——>A great many of our friends send orders to have the Journal mailed to them forgetting that the terms are <cash in advance>.

Kentucky News. We learn by a gentleman from Henderson, who Arrived here yesterday morning, that a messenger had arrived at the former place the evencng before, with news of a severe skirmish between a portion of Col. Jackson's cavalry and a body of rebels. The latter were routed with a loss of some 45 killed and wounded. Col. Jackson's loss amounted to seven or eight killed. The affair is said to have occurred in Muhlenburg county. CoL Jackson will become as celebrated as "Light-horse narry Lee," of the Revolution. The Loni3ville papers of Monday afternoon are quite barren of army intelligence. Troops continue to arrive from all quarters, and the force of General Buell bids fair to rival in numbers that of the Potomac. We trust, in activity it will far excel that of McClellan. We notice that Mr. Wickliffei in his speech in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, asserted that there would ba no rebels in Kentucky by the 25th of December. If his prediction is verified there must be some warm work on hand, and some big victories to be gained. We

are apprehensive, however, that Mr. Wickliffe was trying to outdo Mr. Seward in arousing the hopes of the loyalists by making huge promises. Twelve secesh prisoners charged with treason, who were arrested in Johnston and Lawrence counties, have been taken to Newport barracks. The relatives of members of the 6th Ohio regiment, Guthrie Greys, are passed by the mail company from Cincinnati to Louisville and back, free of charge, in order that they may visit their loved ones in that regiment, whom they wero not permitted to see when it passed down the river from Western Virginia. A letter to the Journal from Adair county, says the rebels are going through Allen county, arresting all the Union men they can lay their hands on, and compelling them to take an oath to support the Southern Confederacy, besides robbing the people of everything they possess in the world, reducing them to beggars, and almost to starvation. Hardly Fair. On Wednesday, the 27th ultimo, we furnished our readers with a condensed summary of Southern news from papers received from New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Moraphis, of much later date than any obtained by our cotemporaries. Of course, we wero pleased to witness the avidity with which the news furnished by us was appropriated by other-. . do uot like the spirit that refuse redit the source from whence the news was obtained. With the exception of the New Albany Ledger, we. have not seen a single paper that gave us credit for what they so greedily appropriated. The agent of the Associated Press also got hold of the paper two or three days after its is.Mie, and telegraphed much of its contents without a word tt credit. The Louisville Journal of Tuesday evening last, copies a portion or our summary, verbatim, with the following caption : "We have received additional files of paper? from Memphis, Vickaburg, and New Orleans, from which tci make the following extracts:" We trust we have a proper amount of modesty, but we confess we must demur to the Journal palming off ou its readers, news which had appeared iu our Journal one week before as late news which it had clipped from Southern papers. More News from the Tiveuty-tlrtlt. A gentleman in this city has just received a letter from an officer iu the 25th regiment-The-friends of Mr. Henry Sweetzor will be glad to know that he is once more able to assume his positiou as Quartermaster of the 25th. The letter says that there are only about 750 well men in the regiment. Tho average number of deaths since the regiment left here is about twelve to each company. This would indicate a loss of over ten per cent of the regiment in three months. Wo hope the statement will be found to be incorrect, as our correspondents in that regiment have not mentioned the fact in any of their letters. The 25th is stationed near Otterville, but expected shortly to move to Syracuse. Tub Scientific Ajseuican, we aro pleased to see, sustains its high reputation, and its list of subscribers stand by it in spite of the hard times. It is really the mechanic's and farmer's friend, and no one should be without it. The Golden State having been de tained on her last trip by Government ousiness, will not be down to-day. She will be here to-morrow for Paducah and all way landings. Confederate Gunboat Destroyed. We learn from the Memphis Avalanche of Monday, the 25th ult., that the Confederate gunboat Tuscarora, on her way up the Mississippi tram New Orleans, took fire on the 23d uft. about fifteen miles above Helena. A strong wind was blowing at the time, and it was fouud impossible to save the boat. An effort to save the magazine was successful, but the shells on board commenced to explode soon after the fire commenced. The explosion fired the negro quarters on Mr. Harbutt's plantation, as well as the tops of trees on the bank of the river. The boat was burned to a wreck. It is not known how the fire originated. Lou. Journal. i SBS?" The cannonadiog at Fort Pickens ' has been tremendous ; not less than four j hundred heavy guns have been employed : on both sides, and vagu and confused as the ; accounts of tho afTtdrrra, enough is known to inform us that the struggle has been of i the grandest description. The steam ; frigates Niagara and Colorado, which the I rebels claim to have damaged, were formidable vessels. Tho Niagara's armament consisted of twelve eleved-inch shell guns. , The Colorado's armament is the same us lht of the Wabash twenty-eight nineinch and fourteen eight-inch shell guns. Tbe reliels are thought to have had over one liuiidrpfl -aotl -fifty guns bearing bfa the fort, while the fort and outside batteries ' had about a hundred.

The Oysteb Supper To-night. We hope our citizens will bear in mind that the ladi'-s of the Methodist Church, (Locust st.,) will give a 'grand entertainment to the public at Crescent City Hall to-night. As has already been stated, the proceeds are to be devoted to the purchase of yarn and other materials, to be manufactured by the ladies into articles for the use and benefit of Indiana volunteers. The object, therefore, is a worthy one, and aside from this, the entertainment will be of such a character as to render Crescent City Hall the place of resort this evening. Let the house be crowded that the ladies may be amply repaid for their labors, and the treasury of the Society replenished. gOGOlby all means, to the Oyster Supper, at Crescent City Hall, to-night. Union Knitting Society Mittens Wanted. There is a demand for soldiers' rnitten3 for Col. Baker's cavalry, and Col. Veatch's infantry regiments. This demand ought to be complied with at once.
