The Burnside fleer moving. Information has been received at the War Department, from Hyde county, N. C., announcing that from fifty to a hundred of the enemy's vessels have left Hatteras and sailed towards Roanoke Island. Our special dispatch from North Carolina communicates the same intelligence. This movement may be in pursuance of the Federal programme, which, we have been led to believe, is to precipitate an attack at some important point on the coast; and as Roanoke Island commands a rear approach to Norfolk, it is at least within the range of possibility that we may have stirring news from that direction at an early day. Roanoke Island also command the valley of Roanoke river, probably the richest of all the valley country in North Carolina, and is, beyond doubt, the most important strategic point on that coast. If it be the enemy's object to harass and despoil the country, his success would entail severe damage upon the people. The possession of the Island even would g

Pulaski to the effect that he designed to abandon the Fort and take up his position on Lookout Mountain, (in Tennessee,) the better to observe the movements of the foe. Frequently, in troublous times like these, evil reports and dissatisfaction become contagious, and extend much beyond the legitimate objects of just complaint; and in this view it is not unreasonable to suppose that General Lawton has suffered beyond his demerits. The telegraphic report of the loss of a large portion of Burnside's fleet has been received here with great satisfaction, and the hope is entertained that the forty missing may never be accounted for this side of the gulf which shall end all time.
