ce had been made by Gen. Burnside, nor was any immediately expected. The gunboats had returned from Elizabeth City. All the fleet were at anchor off Roanoke Island. An immense amount of trophies has been captured, including the splendid State flag of North Carolina, worked by the ladies of that State; also quaabres, and flintlock muskets, shotguns and pistols, rusty with age. Fortress Monroe, Feb. 19.--Three thousand five hundred stand of arms were captured at Roanoke Island by Gen. Burnside, and seventy-five tons of ammunition. The steamer Alice Price arrived at Hatteras in good condition, and, with the steamer Louisiana, had gone to Roanoke. Gen. Burnside's troops have nearly all been re-embarked. The revised list of killed and wounded at Roanoke Island and at Elizabeth stands as follows: --Killed, 50; wounded, 222. This includes the losses in both army and navy. The wounded are doing very well. The rebel prisoners are awaiting arrangem

unavoidable delays in the procurement of arms, and the want of a navy has greatly impeded our efforts to import military supplies of all sorts. I have hoped for several days to receive official reports in relation to our discomfiture at Roanoke Island, and the fall of Fort Donelson. They have not yet reached me, and I am, therefore, unable to communicate to you such information of those events and the consequences resulting from them, as would enable me to make recommendations founded upon the changed condition which they have produced. Enough is known of the surrender at Roanoke Island to make us feel that it was deeply humiliating, however imperfect may have been the preparations for defence. The hope is still entertained that our reported losses at Fort Donelson have been greatly exaggerated, inasmuch as I am not only unwilling, but unable to believe that a large army of our people have surrendered without a desperate effort to cut their way through investing forces, whatev

ssengers. While in the Roads in communication with the Federal steamer, Hon. Howell Cobb and Gen. Wood met on board the West Point, and a long interview took place. Gen. Huger has issued an order preventing the sale of ardent spirits or wine, or a mixture thereof; therefore "all bare, drinking shops, or other places where liquor is retailed, will be immediately closed, and any one found violating this order will be promptly dead with." The prisoners captured by the Yankees at Roanoke Island were released on parole on Friday, and a number of them have already arrived here. The sick and wounded have been placed in a building used as a hospital in Elizabeth City. It will be seen by telegraphic dispatches from this place that large reinforcements are to be sent to Gen. Burnside, which will probably give him an army of, perhaps, 40,000 men. Some suppose that an effort will be made soon by the Federal General, at Soaroke, to get up in their country as far as Suffolk, for th

Return of "Bohemian." It afforded us unqualified pleasure yesterday to welcome once more to our sanctum Dr. William Shepardson, better known as "Bohemian," the army correspondent of this paper. He was captured by the enemy on Roanoke Island, while discharging the duties of a surgeon in the hospital; and during his sojourn "abroad" has experienced some vicissitudes of war and added materially to his steek of adventures. An interesting description of the fight on Roanoke Island, from his prrespondent of this paper. He was captured by the enemy on Roanoke Island, while discharging the duties of a surgeon in the hospital; and during his sojourn "abroad" has experienced some vicissitudes of war and added materially to his steek of adventures. An interesting description of the fight on Roanoke Island, from his pen, will appear in our columns to-morrow. He will follow it up with further particulars to the time of his capture, and so far as the conditions of his parole will allow.

e traced to any reliable source, prevail here, of the evacuation of Nashville by the Confederates. Five thousand of the prisoners taken at Fort Donelson have arrived at Indianapolis, and 4,000 at Camp Douglas. Washington, Feb. 23.--In the Senate yesterday Mr. Sumner presented three petitions from Pennsylvania, praying for the general emancipation of all slaves under the war power. Clarkesville is certainly in the possession of the Federal troops. The forts and guns on Roanoke Island have been put in good order. Gen. Burnside is said to be very active in preparing to strike a decisive blow where it is least expected. New York, Feb. 28.--The Herald says that Manassas and Nashville are now two, great vital points in the rebellion. The Yankees are busily engaged in erecting batteries on the Savannah River. They have discovered several infernal machines in the river. The New York banks showed on Monday a special average of $28,114,000. Foreign exchange 1
