The Burnside fleet.
As nothing has been heard of the Burnside fleet for some days, it is not improbable that they are engaged in preparing some furtive enterprise, which we take it for granted the Confederate Government is equally prepared to prevent — if not, it ought to be. The safety of the capital must of course have been provided for in the nine or ten months of opportunity for preparation which we have enjoyed.
If not, the experience of Hatteras, Fort Henry, and Roanoke Island warn us, by multiplying obstructions in the channels of our navigable rivers, and constructing additional fortifications upon their banks, to make assurance doubly sure.

Bennett's Stories about the force at Roanoke Island
Bennett's account of the force at Roanoke Island is full of errors.
He has manifestly taken up some old list published last summer, not even then correct, since which there have been numerous changes in officers and companies.
The following four cavalry companies which now belong to Col. B. H. Robertson's 4th Virginia cavalry, and are at Manassas with his command, are set down in the column of "Rebel garrison at Roanoke," viz: ChesterfiRoanoke Island is full of errors.

Richmond Light Infantry Blues.
--We have been informed that one of the members of this favorite old company, who was taken prisoner in the engagement on Roanoke Island, arrived in Richmond yesterday evening and stated that the remainder of the company would arrive to-day, having been liberated on parole by the Hessians.
This is good news — though when they come all will miss the accustomed presence of the gallant Wise, their leader, who now sleeps the sleep of death.
We beg to remind those who design joining volunteer companies now being formed in this city that Lieut. Sanxay, of the Blues, is now engaged in filling up the ranks of a second company, who will have the honored name of the old corps.

Not captured.
--In the Yankee reports of the Capture of Roanoke Island, they reported as among the prisoners captured.
Capt. Godwin and his men of North Carolina.
In contradiction of their statements, we copy the following paragraph from the Wilmington journal, of the 22d inst:
We learn that Capt. Godwin, of Robeson county, in this State, the commander of one of the companies in the State regiment.
(Col Jordan's) states that his company was stationed during the fight at Roanoke, on what was known as the Floating Battery near to the main land of Tyrrell county, Sound.
He made his escape with so 80 out of 101 men, of which his company consisted.--He also adds, as we learn, that about 200 men of the 11th were on furlough, all of the 200 captured, thus making the taken.
These 400, we believe, are to form in a battalion for immediate service.
Capt. Godwin naturally feels inclined to doubt the accuracy of the Northern statement that includes him in the list of prisone
