Nassau, N. P., Feb. 8.--The Southern schooner Louise arrived yesterday from Charleston, and reports that the expedition under Gen. Burnside had failed, some of the gunboats having been driven ashore during a gale at North-Carolina, and seven thousand of the troops and sailors taken prisoners. The Federalists are said to have suffered another defeat at Bowling Green, three thousand having been killed and five thousand taken prisoners. The small-pox has broken out in Washington, to the great alarm of the civil and military authorities. Army and people are being vaccinated, but vaccine matter is scarce. The Federalists have gained a victory over a large body of Confederates at Mill Hill, Kentucky. Nassau Guardian, February 8.

New-York, Feb. 26.--We are well assured that a proposition from the rebel leaders for a new compromise has been submitted to our Government, and that either the programme or its substance is in the hands of a leading Democrat of our city. The object of the rebels in transmitting it to him we presume to be the manufacture of public sentiment in its behalf. The gist of the proposition we understand to run thus: 1.

A Convention of the States, with a view to such a revision of the Federal Constitution as will induce the slaveholding rebels to condescend to govern us in the future on terms nearly as favorable as in the past. We believe this is all for a beginning. New-York Tribune, February 26.

Feb. 10.--A slave lately came into the camp of the Iowa troops at Florence, Mo., mounted upon a high-spirited horse, on which he had escaped from his master, who lives near St. Louis. Around his neck was a band of iron, half an inch thick, and nearly one and a half inches wide, not locked, but securely riveted. Three iron prongs, of lightning-rod size, were wedded to this band, at equal distances apart, and arose above his head about nine inches, with an outward inclination. The iron had lacerated his neck, and the wound had partially healed under the protection he had given to them by holding up the band with his hands, during the preceding days that he was concealed in a cornfield, but while riding the horse he could not hold it up, and it had opened the wound, from which there was a bloody, mattery ooze trickling down upon his broad shoulders. To the soldiers who surrounded him, with pity and astonishment, the negro pleaded earnestly: Please, massa soger, take dis collar off

Boston, Feb. 11.--At the Baptist Sabbath-School Convention in session at the South-End in this city, the exercises were interrupted this forenoon by the announcement of the splendid victory at Roanoke Island.
