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 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

‘‘.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.”

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.

that we could have some fun with those fellows. — 1
This he consented to, and I apjtointed him a com
mittee of one to interrogate the Missourians in
question, and ascertainwhere they were from and
their place of destination. [
The lawyer commenced by saying)

The tail one spoke up and were going

A REPUBLICAN.
A Rich Colloquy.
Lawyer. “Where do you live whan yon are at

Tail One. “We lives near Jefferson, and Ims
bin out southwest a piece." ■'
Lawyer. “ What have you been doing ? I sus
pect you are a part of Price's army,, from appear
ances—are vou not ?” ]
Tall One. “YU; that is, we has bin with Gin
eral Price; but now we haint.” ■
Lawyer. “Timeout?'’
Scccsh. “ Yis, sir, and darn glad of it.”
Lawyer. “Price didn't clothe yod very well, I
see ?”
Secesh. “ Jist as good as he did the other fellers.
This suit I've got ou and t'other out that is worn
out. and seven dollars in script, is oil 1 got for six
months' soldiering.” ;
•Lawyer. “1 believe yon said you was in Price’s
army. Have you got the documents to prove that
you are not spies, but that you have been regularly
discharged from the Confederate service ?”
Secesh. “ Vis, sir, here they is,: (pulling two
strips of popefout of Ids calicq,pants:) look at ’em
—they are giuuine—come straight from Gineral
Price himself.” ;
Lawyer. “Yes, they have the proper signatures,
and ate got up according to the army regulations
(in a horn.). Now, then, tell us when vou left
Price.” *
Secesh. “ Wall, I think it was about the—the
—1 bth or 19th of this mouth.”
Lawyer. “ What's Price doing?”
Secesh. “ Oh, nossin’ much, hot buttin' round
and throwiu' up dirt banks, he says, to keep the
dam Abolitionists from shootiir' Ids men."
Lawyer. “Whereabouts is this dire being
thrown, up?”
Secesh. “ This side of Springfield a bit."
Lawyer. “ How many men has he fit for duty
do vou think?”
Scccsh. “Wall, I should think somethin’nigh
on to 60,00 p.” (Here the. little Secesh .spoke up
and said lt>,000.")
Lawyer. “ Well, now shite how many can*
non?” '
Secesh. “ I dpiff know ’zactlv —never counted
’em —but he's got a hell of a sight—some great big
ones, too —and says he's goin to do it to you fellers
this time if you will only coiul' to whar he is. lie’s
got live or six mortases —I think that’s what the
boys cedi 'em—they are those things what they
shoot fire-balls out of. 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. :

in* my certificate of the tact if I had no objection to girth,
I award it to you' cheerfully, because I think It dne. y, '
ace ia about 50 yean; tho color of my hair auburn, and
inclined to curl. Some fire or six years since It began to
turn gray, and the scalp on the crown of my bead to lot,
tta sensibility and dandruff to form upon it. Each of dues
disagreeabilitiea, increased with time, and about 4 mouths
ainco a fourth was added to them, by hair' falling off the
top off my head and threatening to make me bald.
In this'nnpleusant predicament, I was induced to try
Wood’s Uair Restorative, mainly to arrest the falling „j
of my hair, for f had really no expectation that gray her
could over be restored to its ;«rtgh)al color except f rom
dyes. I was, however, greatly surprise-1 to find after the
use of two bottles only, that not only.was the htlling off
arrested.-but tho color was restored to tho gray hairs \ r , i
sensibility to the scalp, and dandruff ceased to form on my
i head, very much to the gratification of my wife, at who*
I solicitation I was induced to try it.
For this, among tho many obligations I owe to her wj,
I strongly recommend all husbands who value the tdal.
i ration of their wives to profit by my example, and use iti|
growing gray o'r getting bald. Very respectfully,
