Ipbstui iriknie. ALTOONA, PA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13,1862. The Burnside Expedition.— The la test news from Fortress Monroe are to the effect tbjat Gen. Burnside, after bombard ing the rebel fortifications on Roanoke Is land fori three days, effected a landing on that Island on the afternoon of the 9th ipst. About noon, on Saturday last, Com odore Lynch got his mosquito flotilla un der way and came down Currituck Sound to help his rebel friend, Gen. Wise, on the Ldand. j The? Federal gunboats directed their fire upon the flotilla and succeeded m sinking three and capturing two of the boats, lit is presumed that the rebel for ces on the Island surrendered. Passengers by the last flag of truce from Norfolk say it was Rumored there that three regiments hail beep sent to the Island, and that as ■ there wias ho means of escape, the proba bility is that they were captured. The rebels admit that the only obstacles in the way.of Gen. Burnside, in marching inland, upon Norfolk, are the natural ones, such as swamps,j marshes, sickness, &c. The people lof Norfolk and Portsmouth are panic-stricken. The Burnside expedition is not likely to prove a failure, as some have .intimated. We have had failures enough'; we shall have successes hereafter. THE jLATEST —CHEERING NEWS. A dispatch just received this (Wedncs nesday) morning, states tliat Gen. Burn side has taken Roanoke Island, destroyed ail the rebel gunboats, burnt Elizabeth town and taken 2,000 rebel prisoners. Tliis being the case, the citizens of Nor folk apd Portsmouth may well be panic stricken. The Union forces have now a foothold on the main land only 40 miles distant from them. With the co-operation of Gfejn. Wool, from Fortress Monroe, we expect ere long to hear that the Federal forces have possession of those places. — Things look dark for the seceshers. Arrest of Gen. Stone. —Brig. Gen. Charles F. Stone was arrested at his resi dence in Washington City, on Sunday morning last, and immediately sent to Fort-! Lafayette. Gen. Stone was the chief; officer in command at the Ball’s Bluff disaster, and the country has ever since held him responsible for it. The charges against him are os follows; 1 —For misbehavior at the battle of Ball’s Bluff. . Stand —For bolding correspondenca with the enemy before and since the battle of Ball's Bluff, And receiving visits from rebel officers in bis camp. Third— For treacherously suffering the enemy tp build a- Fort or strong work, since the battle of Bldlwßluff, under his guns, without molestation. Fourth —For treacherously designing to expose his force to capture and destruction by the enemy, npder pretence of orders for n movement from the commanding general, which had not been given. r “Wle never could understand why our ar my should have attempted to make an ad vance across the river at-Ball’s Bluff, and why! when, they did make it, that they should be so promptly met by the enemy. We |may now obtain the sequel to that affair. Gen. Evans, the rebel comman der at that battle, says in his'report, re cently published, that he had but 1,700 men,! that he took 710 federal prisoners and that the loss of the Union army was 800 killed on the field. Add to these the number drowned and those who got safely back! and we have a force Larger than that of die rebels. There was either unpar donable ignorance, or rank treason in the transaction, take it as wc may; and we hope the guilty party or parties may be madd to suffer for this wholesale butchery of the pride of the nation and the deep damnation of the sudden taking off of the noble soldier and Statesman- —Baker. - ' A: Noble Reply. —A few days since, whils a member of Congress was urging - the appointment of one of his friends, Sec grfary Stanton very kindly and nobly re-j “l! can’ make no- more appointments from polit ‘ ipeals. The appoint- ‘ ic from the ranks. I of widows, who have army, to attend to, and, their wants pressing, attention. As for': t, 1 shall distribute itorions soldiers who defence of their country’s JWDi— I meolrahben. Then let them A Mr. Fiery, a member of the Sen ate of Maryland, recently presented a se ries of resolutions to that body, advocating | A compromise with the Sodth, and aocom- j papied them with "a speech in which he | declared that he believed himself commis- j. sioned by Heaven to make the initiative of peace by offering his resolutions. He ! did not believe that the olive branch would ! bC spurned ; but if it rimuid'be, he would | vote any amount ofaid to the Government | for the prosecution of the war. Mr;. Fiery’s | position is certainly the opposite of his j but we imagine the Government! will 'demand a sight of the commission he | believes he holds, ere it will consider his ■resolutions. The war has’ gone too fSr to be settled without the entire removal of the bone of contention. There will never second war of the character bf the present. The Government has no olive branch to tender; it has acted on the dcfensite all the time, and is on the defensive still.— Seeming aggressions and advances are only in defence of the Constitution, the perpetu ity of the Union and the protection of loyal men in the seceded States. When the rebels cease to make aggressions, then and not till then will the Government cease to defend. Treasury Notes. —On Friday la3t, the House of Representatives at Washington passed the bill which provides that the Treasury Notes issued by the Govern ment shall be received as a legal, tender. This action must gratify every loyal Citi zen. The credit of the nation is. to be sustained and every citizen should .lend his aid in maintaining it. Those who cry out against this currency and thereby endeavor to depreciate it, can' hardly be recognized as lovers of their country. — The faith of the whole American people is pledged for the redemption of tins cur rency, and to refuse to accept it as such is equal to saying that the faith of the A mefican people is worth nothing. ; There can be no doubt about their redemption, and as friends of the Government, wc should endeavor to render ineffectual, all efforts to depreciate them. They are cer tainly preferable to a majority of the bank bills in circulation. Every map is a stockholder in the bank from which these notes are issued, and he should not refuse his own paper. : Expense of Bands.— -The expense of keeping up the bands for the different reg iments now in the service, is considerable. In a letter to the Hon. E. McFberson, sent by the Paymaster General in answer to an inquiry concerning the matter, the annual cost of the bands of volunteer regiments is estimated at over five mil lions of dollars, exclusive of the cost of clothing, subsistence and transportation. The number of men employed in the bands is seventeen thousand five hundred. A sufficient ° number to form a nice army. — Mr. McPherson has introduced a bill In the House of Representatives to discharge them from service, on the first of March next. Expelled. —Jesse D. Bright, U. S. Senator fr6m Indianna, has been expelled from that' body for disloyalty. It was right that he should be so treated. No man who is not whole-souled for the Union has any business in any pfiiee within,- the Unibn,' and we hope- that every man en tertaining similar views and acting as Mr. B. has done will be voted out of our leg islative halls. It must be humiliating 'to a man thus to be condemned before the world as a traitor to his country Of all epithets that of traitor appears to us the most opprobrious. Put i them out; they are ingrates, deserving no mercy. Let there be more bright examples. ■ O* The capture of Fort Henjy is an other crushing blow to the rebels. The Southern mail, captured by Capt. Logan, contained a letter from some high officers, Speaking of the demoralizing efiect of the defeat at Somerset, and! stating‘ that an other at Fort Henry would be almost ir reparable. The Tennessee river is now considered opened to the to its head-quarters., Several rebel steamers have lately fallen into the hands of the Union gunboats. The river is now clear to the Union fleet as far up as, Alabama. i£g- The rebel government has bent word to Hon. Hamilton Fish jmd Bishop Ames, (the commissioners appointed to visit the seceeded States and look iafter the interests of the Union prisoners) that they will not ;be admitted into the Confederate States to discharge any mission whatever.. very pleasing to It meets with the <3* Gen.

Govern srare. y Ibr the Altoona ‘Tribune, j ‘‘.Party Spirit.” j Messrs. Editors : — ln your last issue a com- : munication appeared under, the title Of “Party | Spirit.” It is indeed a very difficult matter to 1 find out what the author is driving at. His pin- j ■ cipal object appears to be a thrust at the Republi can party. In feet, if we are to'take the say-so 1 of “Citizen,” aH parties, except the Democratic party, are “gone dead,” and all parties are honor ; able and honest; except the Republican party, and | it is busily engaged “ robbing an almost bankrupt i Government.” .When “Citizen” was penning lhaf ! article did he forget, those illustrious thieves, viz; | Cobh, Floyd, Thompson, end legions of others, | and also to what party they belong ? Verily, “ those j who live in glass houses should not throw stones. ! “ Citizen” has pcfcupied a column of your paper, | and what for? . jVfereiy shoic. The whole article j reminds me of an pld proverb, “an empty hogs ! head-proclaims its own approach.” A voimg and beautiful damsel near Frank fort, Kentucky; having two lovevs, and not know ing which to prefer, settled the matter by marrying one, and eloping with the other. Jesse D. Bright, of Indiana, slieds a “Bright” and effulgent light upon the cause of the rebels, but his’.brightness has been cast into outer darkness, as will be the rest of the rebellious. Igy Among the articles found in General Zulli cdffer’s camp at Mill Spring, Kentucky, were sixty thousand pounds of sugar, twenty-six thousand pounds of coffee and twelve thousand pounds of tobacco. r gy It appears that there arc still at Washing ton, traitors, under: the garb of Union men, ia the confidence of our Generals, who betray every movement of bur forces. Hanging would doubt less cure the evil. " 43" Xhc Memphis Appeal saVs that vast quan tities of poisonous drugs have been introduced into the South. Some quinine examined in that city ou the 29th January, was found to contain mor phine strychnine, and other poisonous ingvedieuts. Igp- The number; of men now employed at the Springfield (Mass.) Armory is fourteen hundred, qnd .the product of their labor during the past month was 10,500 muskets. Since the 30th ot last dime—seven months—over 41,000 guns have been made. The, editor of the Cleveland Pint,dealer says that he knows Edwin M. Stanton, the new Secre tary of-War, well, and that he has more of the old Eouapartc ;u his composition than any other man in America. The Army will move on non', ia his opinion, even if it goes to the devil. General Gideon j. Pillow, of Tennessee, lately resigned his'position in the relicl army. A very lachrymose account of the parting with his officers .and men ip given in one of the Memphis papers. The quantity of tears sited on the occa sion was supposedly some to have been almost sufficient to have filled the ditch dug on the wrung side of the entrenchment in Mexico. Capture of Port Henry. The Gazette and Commercial's Cairo correspond ents give the following account of the bombard ment and capture: of hurt Heury : Yesterday at P2,3pP. M. the gunboat? Cincinnati. St. Coins, Caremdelet and Essex, the Tyler, Conuestngo and Lexington bringing up the rear, advanced boldly against the rebel works, going, to the right of Painter Creek Island, immediately above which on the east shore of die river stands the fortifications, and keeping oat of range till at the head of the is land within oue mile of the enemy. Passing the island in full view of the rebel guns we steadily ad vanced, everv man at quarters, even- ear strained to catch the’flag Officer's signal gun for the Com meucemcnt of action. Onr line of battle was on the left of the St. Lou is. next Caromlelot, next Cincinnati, for the time being the tiiig ship, having on board flag officer A. H. Foote, ami next the Kssex. We advanced in line, the Cincinnati a boat's length ahead, when at 12.30, the Cincinnati opened the ball, and im mediately three accompanying boats followed suit. The enemy, not backward, gave admirable res ponse and" the fight raged furiously for half an hour.' We slfndily advanced, receiving and re turning the most .tcrriiic storms of shot and shell, when getting within ahoCl three hundred yards of the enemy's works we came to a stand and poured into them right and left. In the meantime the disabled and drifted awav from ; the scene of action, leaving the Cincinnati, Caromlclct and St. Louis alone engaged. At precisely forty minutes past; one the enemy struck his colors—ana such cheering, such wild excitement as seized the throats, arms and caps of the four or five hundred sailors of tint gunboats can scarcely be imagined. After the surrender, which was made to llag . officer Foote by Gen. Lloyd Tilghman, who de fended his fort in a most determined manner, we found the rebel infantry encanqied outside the fort, mnubsringltbur or five .thousand, had cut and run, leaving thei rebel artillery company in command of the fort, ■ , The fort •mounted seventeen guns, mostly 32 and 31 jmunderr, one being a magnificent ten inch co lambiad. ; Our shots dismounted two of their guns. One of their rifled thirty-two pounders burst during the engagement, wounding one man. Their gunners claim to have had but eleven ef fective guns, worked by fifty-four men, the number all told of bur prisoners. They lost five killed and, ten badly wounded.— The infantry left everything in their flight. A vast (feal of plunder has fallen into our hands, including a large and valuable quantity of ordnance stores. - . ' Gen. Tilghman is disheartened, and thinks it one of the most damning Wows of the war. In surrendering to flag officer Foote, the rebel general remarked, “ I am glad to surrender to so gallant an officer.” Flag officer Foote replied, “You do perfectly right, sir, in surrendering ; but yon should have blown my boat* out of the water beiforc I would have surrendered to you!” In the engagement the Cincinnati was in the lead, and the dag-officer’s penant was the chief mark. Flag-officer Foote and Captain Stcmbcr crowd ed her defiantly into the teeth of the enemy’s guns. She got thirty-one shots, some of them going com pletely tlirongh her. The Essex was crippled when about half thrbugh the fight and crowding steadily against the enemy, a ball going into her port side forward through the heavy bulkhead and squarely through one of her boilers, scalding and killing several of the crew. Capt. Porter, his aid, S. I’. Britton, Jr.,and Bay master Lewis, Were standing in a direct line of the hull* passing, Brittoil being in the centre of the group, a shot struck him on the top of the head, scattering his brains in every direction. The escaping steam went into the pilot-house,, instantly filling Messrs. Ford and Bride, pilots. Many solders, at the rush of steam,' jumped over board and were; drowned. The Cincinnati had one killed and sis wounded; the Esses six seamen killed, and two officers and seventeen men founded; five missing. There were ho casualties on the St. Louis or Carondelet, though shot and shell fell upon them like nun. The St. Louis was commanded by Cant. Leon ard, Paulding, who stood' upon the gunboat and fonght the gang to the last. Not a man flinched, and with cheer upon cheer seat shot and shell among the enemy.

Gineral Price says he’s got ten Pavrit guns that will kill forty miles.” (Here the little Secesh again corrected him by inserting four miles instead of forty.) Lawyer. “Do you think Price will stand his ground this time, or will he run oft' as he did a few months since when our troops advanced on him ?” Secesh. “ lie swars he he damned if he don't gin you fellers hell this time, sure, and fight you till the river freezes over. He’s got his mad up, and says before he leaves Missouri he intends cleanin' out every Lincoluite scoundrel in it.” Lawyer. “What kind of arms—guns I mean— have Price’s men ?” Secesh. “ All kinds—such as Rain rifles, double barrel shot-guns, squirrel rifles, .sharpshooters, Jim dicks, and a few some of the boys call Reufield rifles—them kind with large butcher-knives tied on their ends.” Lawyer. “ How did you fare in the eating line ; did you get plenty ? Secesh. “Damn clear of it; got nothin’ scarcely but com bread, parched corn, saSsafrack tern and the like. The soldiers hoys complains a right smart chance agin the Gineral foe not feedin’ them i better. A grist of them in the army has - left for home, goin’ in different directions. The most of them told ns that if wo came this way tlirough Roily that we would be caught and hung, but we thought that we would try it, anyhow.” Lawyer. “Youmust mind how you cut your stick or you will be arrested. We -arc now think ing strongly of doing that very thing ourselves,” Seceshl “We’s good Union men now—never intend’ to take up a gun agin for the Southern •I army, but intend to take the oath; of allegation, or 1 sumthiu’. of the kind when we can git a chance.” j Lav.ver. “You mean allegiance to the United i States?” Secesh. “Yes, sir; that's it." : Lawyer. “Wo will let you pass on one condi tion, and that is this: Come, go with its to Kolia, aud have the oath of allegiance administerd to you by Provost Marshal Williams, with a solemn promise that as soon as you return home ami see the folks, and get well rested, you will come back ■ here and join one of the Union regiments.” Soeesh. We'll do that thing—won’t we Joe?” (addressing his companion.) Joe, nodded his head. Lawyer. “Well, come along; jve will soon have the oath administered and the papers fixed up.” In a few moments’ travel we tame in sight of Kolia, and while ascending the -hill to the town, after a sileuee of a few minutes, the tall one asked in a pitiful manner: “What does it cost to take the oath—we hain’t got no money ?” x . Lawyer. “Nothing. I will foot the bill.” In a few moments wo were all inside of the marshal’s office, where the oath was administered, and the documents drawn up, with the two Seces sionists’ X attached, in which iit was expressly agreed that they .would return to camp in Kolia in one month from date, and join a corps or company of infantry, and fight for the stars and stripes.— After this ceremony was over they went their way rejoicing, and I th\nk they will return at-the expi ration of a month4-in a horn. A Sad Occurrence —Another Wanting. —On Thursday morning last, near Cony Station, on the Philadelphia & Erie Rail Hoad, a woman named Costello, when kindling the fire in the morning, dipped a handful of shavings into a bucket of crude petroleum and then set fire to them, which caused such a great flame that she upset the bucket and fired the inflammable oil by dropping the shavings into it.,. Hie husband and children were lying in bed in the same room. Her screams attracted the attention of people outside, who dared not venture into the Are, and they called upon her to come ont. She replied that she would not go out without her children; and, seizing one of them (the eldest, aged two tears,) in her arms, she attempted to make her escape; but, by this time she was over come by strangulation, and had to remain and he burned with the building, which was soon in ruins. The husband and father somehow managed to t scape, but was so badly burned in his efforts to ave his family, that he cannot survive. The wife and mother was taken from the ruins a black ened, charred moss, with the remains of the child still' in ’her arms, both bodies burned to the bone, the cooked flesh quivering in detached portions from die -trunks, and the extremities almost en tirely ponsnmed. The younger child, aged one year, was burned to a coke-like mass, with scarcely the semblance of the human being left. CyGen. Zollicoffer leaves a large family of children unprovided for, and die Memphis Aro landie suggests that they shall; be adopted by the State of Tennessee. : SPECIAL NOTICES. A Card to the Suffering.
