k regiment had made an expedition up the Chowan river with three gunboats, but having found the enemy in full force, returned without making an attack. Among the passengers by the Baltimore is Charles Henry Foster, who was reported killed at Winton by Southern papers. The election ordered by the Provisional Governor of North Carolina, to take place on Saturday, resulted, as far as the returns have been received, in the re-election of Mr. Foster to Congress. The ordinances of the Convention were also ratified. The object of the expedition of the 9th New York regiment was to destroy the railroad bridges on the Black Water and Chowan rivers. The enemy, however, were discovered in large force at Winton, and no landing was made. The enemy fired at our gunboats, and in retaliation the town was shelled. The greater part of the Burnside Expedition wat still at Roanoke Island, and Gen. Williams's brigade at Hatteras had received orders to proceed there. Capt. How

gs about Suffolk have been more quiet for a week or two past and many ladies, who left town, when a fight was expected, are returning to their homes. There is no doubt but it was laid out in the programme of the Burnside expedition to attack Suffolk after the fall of Roanoke Island, and by getting possession of Suffolk and the two railroads at this place, Norfolk might be attacked in the rear, and probably forced to surrender. The plan was to approach Suffolk from the direction of Edenton, Winton or some point on the Chowan, by a land force, while the gunboats at Old Point would attempt to ascend the Nansemond river, at the same time. But while Burnside was maturing his grand scheme, the iron-clad Virginia paid a visit to Hampton Roads, and demolished everything in her way. This made the proposed attempt to ascend the Nansemond with gunboats wholly impracticable, and changed the whole programme of Burnside. He immediately concentrated his fleet at Hatteras and determined to attack

on hams, charging Riddick to see that not a pound was removed until they came again. They made an appropriation of the entire contents of his dairy, eating and destroying all the milk and butter on the premises. Thirty-nine negro men vamoosed of Mr. Riddick's at the same time. Nine of John D, Myrick's; nine of W. T. Bynum's; three of J. A. Britt's negroes, and a number of other negroes have been spirited away — all this in Hertford co. On the 6th instant the vandals landed at Bethel, Winton, and Cloraine; took off a large number of negroes and made prisoner of young Sharp, a worthy, quiet young man, taking him on board their ships. In this county, and in the counties of Chowan and Nansemond, the Yankee squads under the direction of negro guides, have outraged humanity most shockingly. They have carried off many of our best citizens, who were quietly attending to their agricultural pursuits; insulted most grossly delicate females, and destroyed millions of property. If Go

Operations of the enemy in North Carolina. Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 8. --Advices from Weldon by the last train state that ten Yankee gunboats arrived at Winton last Friday filled with troops. It is thought that another force from Newbern of 2,000 cavalry and 15 pieces of artillery is designed for the same point. An adequate force has been sent to check them.

The Gunboat movement in North Carolina. Intelligence has been received at Raleigh, N. C., that the Yankees who landed from the gunboats at Winton, in Hertford county, after advancing into the country about four miles, bad returned to their vessels. The expedition was probably a reconnaissance for some purpose yet to be developed.

n hour. The death of the Rev. Daniel Waldo, at Syracuse, New York, at the advanced age of one hundred and two years, reduces the number of Revolutionary pensioners to eleven. Colorado Jewett telegraphs the New York Herald that Ben Wood, Dean Richmond, and a number of other Democrats, are now at Niagara Falls, consulting with Clay, Holcombe, Sanders and other rebel agents. Since Greeley and Lincoln failed, these Democrats want to see what they can do towards making peace. Eben Winton, editor of the Bergen (New Jersey) Democrat, arrested for discouraging enlistments by articles in his paper, has given bail for trial. The following paragraph from the New York. Herald shows that very bold language is permitted in New York just now: Lindley Spring delivered an address last evening on "Peace and Reconciliation," at Cooper Institute, to a very small audience, including a sprinkling of ladies, and boys. The address consisted mainly of vituperation and personal abus
