ey had reached Havana. On arriving in that neutral city, they, themselves, very properly threw off all disguise, and chose to go about openly in their true characters, rather than skulk, as if they had been infamous outlaws, in holes and corners. The day of their intended sailing was known to everybody in Havana, including the United States Consul and the Federal naval officers in those waters. The Southern press did not know of their departure from Havana until they were brought into Hampton Roads prisoners of Wilkes. So much for this aspersion upon the press. We were censured, by some persons ignorant of facts, the other day, for declaring that the enemy would burn New river bridge, and blow up the Allegheny tunnel, if the Virginia and Tennessee railroad were left longer without protection. A dozen Yankees have been passing over that bridge, and through that tunnel, every week since the war commenced; and it is no news, to them at least, that such a bridge and such a tunne
New York of the steamer Oriental--Gen. Stevens--the Burnside expedition — great excitement — banks of New York decline the Government Loan, &c., &c. [Special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.] Norfolk, Jan. 12. We have received Northern dates to the 10th inst., by which we learn that the steamer Oriental, from Port Royal, had arrived at New York, and that General Stevens still holds the main land awaiting reinforcements. The Burnside fleet was rapidly concentrating in Hampton Roads, and the excitement with regard to the destination of the expedition is intense. For the next two weeks no words can foreshadow the expectation of the people. On Saturday last the coast guard at Sewell's Point, reported 13 steamers and transports in the Roads; and more arriving. The Baltimore Commercial says that little or nothing new is occurring at Fortress Monroe, except the assembling of a large number of gun boats. A large number of vessels for the Burnside expeditio
triumph of the Federal arms, and another disgraceful scrubber by the fleet-footed chivalry. The embarkation is necessarily slow, and the greater portion of the week may pass before all she vessels are prepared to sail. The departure will be hurried as much as possible, however, in view of the very cold weather that threatens a blockade of this harbor more effectually than that which invited the Nashville to a pleasant trip across the sea." Arrival of some of the expedition in Hampton Roads — great Rejoicing at old Point. From the Norfolk Day Book, of Saturday, we take the following: We are reliably informed that three light draught gun-boats, and the same number of large lake or sound boats, arrived in the Roads yesterday about noon. They were all filled with troops, and the three former were recognized by our informant as a portion of the Burnside expedition. The troops — numbering, as was estimated, between four and six thousand--were landed at Old Point. Th
Burnside's expedition. A letter from Norfolk, under date of the 11th, states that there is a great gathering of vessels in Hampton Roads. It is believed they are a part of Burnside's much-bruited expedition. Where it is going, of course we can only speculate about. It may be for Virginia waters, or it may be for a demonstration further South.
