The Burnside expedition — the Designs of the Federal fleet--Norfolk its destination, &c. Norfolk, Jan. 7, 1862.
So much has been said and written about the Burnside expedition and its probable destination, that it is like and old worn-out song, sung until it has lost its music, and ceases to charm the ear of the listener or to excite emotions of interest or concern in his mind.
And yet there may be some who would like to know the last news about the grand Burnside fleet, that is to commit so great depredation somewhere on the Southern coast, fire off cannon, explode bombshells, batter down forts, fire upon dwelling-houses, send conic rifle shells through the sick wards of hospitals, steal negroes to enslave them and compet them to work for $8 per month — clothing deducted — and engage in other dignified proceeding, to be represented in the Northern papers as brilliant victories.

The Secretaryship of the C. S. Senate. Richmond, Jan. 7, 1862.
Editors Dispatch: Whilst the claims of many gentlemen are being presented in the public journals for the position of Secretary of the Senate, I desire that one deserving gentleman shall not be overlooked.
I refer to J. T. B. Dorsey, Esq., at present a member of the bar of this city.
Early in April, Mr. Dorsey left his magnificent estate in Maryland, where he was surrounded with all the luxuries and comforts of life, and came to the South, ready to share her fate, whatever it might be. The son-in-law of our distinguished Minister to England, Hon, J. M., Mason, he emulates the ardor and the virtues of that eminent patriot.
What more fitting tribute could be paid to the Lotty dignity which characterized Mr. Mason whilst in the hands of the Yankees, than to select Mr. Dorsey, an exile for the sake of principle, as Secretary of the Senate?
All who know Mr. D. will bear testimony to his capacity, integrity, and
