30.-battle of Roanoke Island.
Official report of Gen. Burnside.
headquarters Department of North-Carolina, Roanoke Island, February 10, 1862. To Major-General Geo. B. McClellan, Commanding United States Army, Washington:
General: I have the honor to report that a combined attack upon this island was commenced on the morning of the seventh, by the naval and military forces of this expedition, which has resulted in the capture of six forts, forty guns, over two thousand prisoners, and upward of three thousand small arms.
Among the prisoners are Col. Shaw, commander of the island, and O. Jennings Wise, commander of the Wise Legion.
The latter was mortally wounded, and has since died.
The whole work was finished on the afternoon of the eighth inst., after a hard day's fighting, by a brilliant charge in the centre of the island, and a rapid pursuit of the enemy to the north end of the island, resulting in the capture of the prisoners mentioned above.

31.-test of the mortar-boats.
Missouri Democrat account.
Cairo, February 9, 1862.
in respect to the efficiency of the mortar-boats constructed at St. Louis, at the suggestion of General Fremont, there have been many doubts in the minds of well-meaning persons, including a number of army and navy officers.
They have been thought clumsy, insufficient in their bulwarks, incapable of bearing the heavy mortars designed for them, and beyond all question incapable of resisting the terrible concussion which would attend the firing of a thirteen-inch shell.
All these opinions and prognostications have been overthrown to-day, by the experiment made under the superintendence of Captain Constable, and before a committee of three, composed of himself, Capt. Kilty, of the gunboat Mound City, and Capt. Dove, of the gunboat Louisville.
One of the mortar-boats, No.
Thirty-five, was taken in tow this morning, by three steam-tugs, and conveyed to a point a few hundred yards b

32.-expedition to Florence, Ala.
Com. Foote's special order.
United States gunboat Tyler, Paducah, February 2.
Lieutenant Commanding Phelps will, as soon as the Fort shall have been surrendered, upon a signal from the flag-ship, proceed with the Conestoga, Tyler, and Lexington, up the river to where the railroad bridge crosses, and, if the army shall not have already got possession, he will destroy so much of the track as will entirely prevent its use by the rebels.
He will then proceed as far up the river as the stage of water will admit, and capture the enemy's gunboats and other vessels which might prove available to the enemy. A. H. Foote, Flag-Officer Commanding Naval Forces in Western Waters.

33.-capture of Elizabeth City, N. C.
Report of Lieut. S. P. Quackenbush.
United States steamer Delaware, off Elizabeth City, February 11, 1862. Commander S. C. Rowan:
sir: In obedience to orders, I herewith submit to you the following report:
On the seventh day of February, 1862, at ten o'clock in the morning, the United States steamer Delaware, S. P. Quackenbush, Lieut. Commanding, and bearing the red pennant of Commander S. C. Rowan, in obedience to a general order from the United States flag-ship Southfield, got under weigh, and proceeded through the marshes towards the battery on Roanoke Island, known as Fort Sullivan, mounting ten guns, which battery we attacked at half-past 11 in the morning, and continued the fire, gradually closing in, until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when we ran close in to shore, within ten feet of the beach, for the purpose of covering the landing of the troops from the army transports, and flanking the fort.

34.-our National emblem.
To the Editor of the Richmond Examiner:
A National emblem should symbolize the national government in its history, nature, office and fundamental principles.
The lion of England ascribes the royal character, and undisputed supremacy of the king of beasts to that noble government.
Various nations, as Austria, Russia, etc., have assumed the free eagle, as typical of the characteristics of their governments.
It is believed to be susceptible of proof, that the single star is our proper national emblem.
Inasmuch as there are various orders and classes of stars, it is proper that a question be first raised in that connection.
In this view we should not think of our star as one of the so-called fixed stars, which are, to human sight, in their order, almost too small to be assigned mere twinkling points, without apparent career, having, as far as men have yet discovered, no influence in creation, unless we accept the conjecture of astronom

35.-gallantry of Lieut. Phelps.
The Secretary of the Navy sent the following letter to Flag-Officer Foote:
Navy Department, February 18, 1862.
sir: Your letter of the seventh instant, communicating the details of your great success in the capture of Fort Henry, is just received.
I had previously informed you of the reception of your telegraphic despatch announcing the event, which gave the highest satisfaction to the country.
We have to-day the report of Lieut. Commanding S. L. Phelps, with the gratifying results of his successful pursuit and capture and destruction of the rebel steamers, and the dispersion of the hostile camps, as far up the river as Florence.
I most cordially and sincerely congratulate you and the officers and men under your command, on these heroic achievements, accomplished under extraordinary circumstances, and after surmounting great and almost insuperable difficulties.
The labor you have performed, and the services you have rendered in

General Sherman's order.
Headquarters, E. C., Hilton head, S. C., February 6, 1862.
the helpless condition of the blacks inhabiting the vast area in the occupation of the forces of this command, calls for immediate action on the part of a highly-favored and philanthropic people.
The occupation of a large portion of this area of country, on the seventh of November last, led to an address to the people of South-Carolina, briefly setting forth the causes which led to it; its objects and purposes; and inviting all persons to the reoccupation, in a loyal spirit, of their lands and tenements, and to a continuance of their avocations, under the auspices of their legitimate Government, and the protection of the Constitution of the United States.
The conciliatory and beneficent purposes of that proclamation, except in a few instances, have not only been disregarded, but hordes of totally uneducated, ignorant and improvident, blacks

39-Gen. Jos E. Johnston's address.
The following is a copy of Gen. Johnston's address to the rebel army of the Potomac:
headquarters, Department of Northern Virginia, February 4, 1862.
soldiers: Your country again calls you to the defence of the noblest of human causes.
To the indomitable courage already exhibited on the battle-field, you have added the rarer virtues of high endurance, cheerful obedience, and self-sacrifice.
Accustomed to the comforts and luxuries of home, you have met and borne the privations of camplife, the exactions of military discipline, and the rigors of a winter campaign.
The rich results of your courage, patriotism and unfaltering virtue, are before you. Entrusted with the defence of this important frontier, you have driven back the immense army which the enemy had sent to invade our country, and to establish his dominion over our people by the wide-spread havoc of a war inaugurated without a shadow of constitutional right, and prosecut
