ibly be placed in. To the men who took advantage of my absence to break up the old Sixty-ninth for the advancement of their own sordid interest, under the mask of patriotism, I shall have something to say on a more favorable occasion. Burnside's expedition. The following intelligence is culled from the Philadelphia Inquirer, of Jan. 22d: Rumors here seem to indicate that Gen. Burnside has abandoned the project of entering Pamlico Sound, and has gone up the Cape Fear River tGen. Burnside has abandoned the project of entering Pamlico Sound, and has gone up the Cape Fear River to take Wilmington, N. C. If this be true, it is quite probable that no demonstration will be made against Norfolk at present. An arrival from the expedition is now looked for with the greatest interest and anxiety. From Cairo, Ill., Jan. 19th, it is learned that the recent reconnaissance in force from Cairo was made in order to ascertain the strength and force of our position in Mississippi. The Yankee papers say it is soon to be followed up by a grand movement down the Mississippi river

routes of importance and value. One of them running through east Carolina, from Weldon to Wilmington, is threatened by Burnside; and the other, leaving this city and passing through Danville, Greensboro', Salisbury, Columbia, and Atlanta, along theon with the South, except the one through the mountains of West Virginia and East Tennessee, is imminently threatened by Burnside. We confess to have lost all apprehension of serious danger or harm to result from the naval expeditions of the enend in a military point of view, have turned out to be the most wretched abortions. Great expectations were cherished of Burnside's armada; and the probabilities are, that it will prove the most stupendous failure of them all. Notwithstanding these tpt. There are no troops engaged in this war capable of better service than the brave Carolinians; and the enterprise of Burnside will cost him many lives and casualties if it does not cost his whole army. But, yet, a mere accident; a successful sud

The Burnside expedition. --The Norfolk Day Book has the following items in relation to this great expedition: A correspondent who is well acquainted with the waters of North Carolina, think it evident, from the number of large ships, and other vessels engaged in the Burnside expedition, that its destination is not Hatteras. Vessels exceeding seven feet six inches draft could not cross the bulkhead into Pamlico Sound. A late Northern paper puts down the number of troops at 16,000, comprising fifteen regiments of infantry, one battalion of cavalry, and one battery of artillery, besides the gunners and sailors on board the ships. Later.--We learn that some passengers have arrived here from Elizabeth City, who report that there are some thirty of the Burnside fleet in Pamlico Sound. This comes from authority likely to be well informed on the subject, and we are forced to accept it as true. This news appears to have occasioned but little apprehension in the countie

Burnside's armada. The reports concerning this grand marine expedition have been so contradictory that people may well begin to doubt whether there is such an expedition at all — indeed the inland seas of the North State are in danger of losing their old reputation as realities and coming to be considered as merely imaginary creations of the vaporous brains of lake ports. We learned in childhood to respect with a sort of affectionate regard Old Pamlico, whose outlines we have traced so often on the map; but the dear old sound has fallen into the hands of those whose reports are like the tales of idiots, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." The "reliable gentleman" has never before so much damaged his own reputation; and he has thrown a mythical cloud over everything from the sea shore of North Carolina. It will be many days before he can get the public ear, and long will that many-headed citizen remain incredulous about news from "Pamlico Sound."
