During yesterday afternoon and evening, says flic New York Tribune of Tuesday, a large number of the soldiers attached to the Burnside Expedition, who were wound ed at tlie battle of Newborn, arrived in this city, about eighty-four coming byway of the Camden and Amboy railroad, and the remainder on board of the steamers I'eabody and New Brunswick, direct from Ncwbern, N.

The ma turity, however, expressed themselves abun dantly able to march a mile or more, and notwithstanding the painful nature of their wounds, they gathered up their muskets, knapsacks and trophies, fell into the ranks and marched up to the Park. The large mess room in the Barracks had been pre pared for the reception of the wounded soldiers, and a number of our most promi nent surgeons were in attendance, having volunteered their services for the relief of the sufferers. " "••• Words can scarcely be found to depict the scene- that ensued. In a little time nearly every man was under the hands of the surgeons, and many wounds of aa ug ly and sickening nature were exposed, and after being duly examined and operated ifpon, were dressed anew. A large contri bution of bandages, lint, and so forth, made by'the Ladies' Relief Union, arrived in go'oa time and were soon put in use.- Here sat a soldier with his scalp dfeadfully lacerated, and there one or more with their fingers shot off. Some had ugly slough ing wounds in their shoulders, arms, legs, and - feet, yet all bore up patiently under tbeir sufferings, and not a werd of com WEDNESDAY.

Several were particularly lively, I and paid more attention to the injuries of ' other.) than they did to their own.

A proposition has been made to or : ganizc a Home Guard in the county, lbr ! the more perfect security of the inliubi j tants. Many of the fanners are to be seen ! on the Fall's turnpike, between Alexan | dria and Manassas, busy at work in ereet i ing their fences, which had been destroyed by the rebel troops. They express their confidence in being protected from further invasion, and are determined to no on with the cultivation of their farms, confident that the danger from the war cloud lias passed over thciu. But very little winter grain has been put in, and the wheat crop has been almost wholly neglected. Gen. Sumner's Order to the People of Vir ginia. Gen. .Sumner has issued an important order prohibiting acts of marauding. He assures the people of Virginia that their only safety is the General Government, and that it will be his constant endeavor to protect them in their persons and pro perty to the extent of his power. The Gen eral has also determined to accept no rcsig nations in his corps during the campaign, lie is docidedly opposed to gdntlemei. go ing through with the incidentals of the campaign, drawing pay and enjoying the distinction of their positions, without in curring any of the dangers incident to a state of war.

[Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.] SAVANNAH, Tcnn., March 12. The Pled Arrives at its Final Destination. The greater part of the Tennessee river expedition arrived at Savannah, Hardin county, Tennessee, on tho evening and du ring the night of the 11th instant. As the sun rose over the canebrakes that line tlie liver banks, it disclosed such a scene as neither that nor indeed any river on the continent ever witnessed before. For near ly two miles up agd down the stream lay the fleet. More vessels were constantly ar riving; the channel was filled with them, gliding about in search of landings near the*r respective brigade headquarters, and the air was heavy with the murky smoke from hundreds of puffing chimneys. The shores were covered with the dis embarked soldiers, cageriy rushing every where and scrutinizing everything, with a genuine Yankee determination to sec what-! ever might be worth seeing " away down here in Dixie." They early found the canebrakes, and the number of'fishing poles carried aboard the boats to be sent up North and used in more peaceful times, was some thing astonishing. Cotton fields were more distant but long before noon plenty could be heard "describing how the fields.Joo.Led, and exhibiting soraps of cotton and hand iuls of seed they had confiscated as speci 'mens from the adjacent warehouses. Offi cers were galloping over the bottoms, trying to get an idea of the country —not a few privates deemed it their duty to give the ( mules a little exercise by beating them in to a jog trot through the country, toe. Half u dozen regiments were brought out on dress parade, and the delighted in- j habitants of the pleasant little country town of Savannah crowded into the streets or peeped out behind the curtains of second sto- \ windows to see the unwonted sight, and convince their halting faith that, beyond peradventure, the Yankees were there at last to defend them in their ill concealed preference for the Union cause. Couspi- I cuous among the troops were the noted Eleventh Indiana and Eighth Missouri, of Gen. Lew. \\ alince's Division, whose steady tread an l precision of movements were unexcelled b}' any equally numerous body of regulars our old army ever boasted; and amid all the shouldering and presen ting of arms, flashing of swords, waving of banners, prancing of gaily caparisoned horses, and shouting of orders, there caiuc ! wailing up through this pomp and cireum j stance of glorious war the unutterable sor row of the Dead March iu Saul, as with re versed muskets and measured tread a squad of his companions bore a brave Buckeye boy to his lonely grave on the banks of the j Tennessee. Boor fellow, lie had left Ba ducah, all life nr.d hope; had sickened on the river an l now—well, in a lew minutes i a regiment was deploying by companies al : most over his grave. (Icoijraphiatl The expedition had indeed reached the ! Sunny South. We were seventeen miles J from the Mississippi line, and only twenty j fivo or thirty from the northwest corner of Alabama, precisely as far South as the nor thern line of South Carolina, and farther down than any of our armies, excepting the small ones that have gone around by the sea coast expedition. Southern I't rinrssee t n ion ism. There was evidence through the fay that the practical 1 niurt sentiment along the Tennessee was not wholly a myth. ' Beck on dad 11 not have to run any more and hide around to keep from bcin' hung,' was the joyful comment of a hopeless but not uncomely Savannah Miss, as she gazed on the still increasing fleet. 4 Laws-a-mercy,' replied her companion, 4 I knowod the Yan kees was a powerful people, but 1 never did see so many boats iu all my born days before. Guess we will have peace now.' More practical was the masculine response to the re appearance of the flag. Some one hundred and fifty citizens of the town and county volunteered fur the war to fill , up the Donelson thinned ranks of the Illi nois regiments were the first to disem bark. j Takintj Prisoners—Sharp Practice in Picketing. ' Throughout the day Gen. Wallace kept ! scouting parties out around the position of i his infantry. The results of their labors ! W( - ,r c the capture of three Rebel privates and one ( 'aptain, and ascertaining that Gen. Cheatham, with a force that, when nil con centrated, amounted to full 15,000, had marched from Burdy the day before to take possession of the very landing at which we had disembarked (where a high bluff gave I a splendid position for artillery to command the river), and that, bailed in this by our arrival, lie was then lying within four and a half miles of our position .' Our brigades were kept constantly changing their places, and if the Rebel scouts could make any-, thing ot Gen. \\ a 1 lace's dispositions or numbers they must have possessed extra ordinary powers lor combinations. The rebel Captain w s taken by a Yan kee ruse th;>' must have struck him as ex ceedingly unchivalric. He was out on picket duty. One of our scouts came sud i denly ou him where two of his pickets were posted. Fortunately tho scout was quick witted, or the capture might have ; been on the other side. 4 Who arc you?' j he boldly enquired of the first rebel he I reached. 4 I'm a picket.' • Well, so am I, but a little off my post, looking around for j the Yankees.' 4 Where's your post?' ask ed the Captain; 4 you've no business to be away from it.' , 4 Come this way, and I'll show you,' responded the scout. The mo , merit he got out of sight of the two pri vates he quietly iuformed the officer that he was a picket on the other side, and would have to take him along ! And lie actually marched the Captain in. sword, pistols, shoulder-straps and all. THE GOLD RING. John Gaspard I.avater and the Poor Widow. It was a practice with Lavater (an emi nent clergyman, born in Zurich, Switzer land, 1(41), to read every morning one or more chapters of the Bible, and to select from them one particular passage for fre- j queutand speoiolmeditation during the day. j One morning after reading the filth and , sixth chapters of the Gospel of Matthew, lie exclaimed, 4 What a treasure of morali- ) ty ! how difficult to make a choice ot any particular part of it!' After a few mo ments consideration, he threw himself upon his knees, and prayed for divine guidance. Y\ hen he joined his wife at dinner, she asked him what passage of scripture he had chosen for the day. 4 Give to him that asketh thee; and from ; him that would borrow of thee, turn not away, was the reply. 4 And how is this to be understood ?' said his wife: 4 Give to him that asketh thee, turn not away; { these, rejoined the Lavater, 4 ara the worcls of Lim to whom all and everything belong ■ that I possess. The proprietor desires me to give to him who asks of me ; and not to refuse him who would borrop of me; or, in other words, ii I have two coats, I must give one to him who has none, and if 1 have food, 1 must share with him who is an hungered and in want; this 1 must do without being asked; how much more, then, wher. asked.' 4 This,' continued Lavater iu his diary. I 4 appeared to me so evidently and inoontro vcrtibly to be the meaning of' the. verses j iu question, that 1 spoke with more than j usu;l warmth ; my wife made no further : reply than she would well consider these • things. 4 1 had scarcely left the dining room a j few minutes, when an aged widow desired j to speak to me and she was shown into my j study. 4 Forgive me, dear sir,' she said, | 4 excuse the liberty L am about to take; I 1 am truly ashamed, but my rent, is due to i morrow, and I am sliuit six dollars; I have | been confined to my bed with sickness, and > my pour girl nearly starving; every penny I that 1 eould save 1 have laid aside tu meet the demand, but six dollars are yet want j ing, and tomorrow is term day.' Here she opened a parcel, which she held iu her hand and said : 4 'l his is a book with a ,silyer elusp, which my late husband gave me the day we were married. It is all I can spare of the lew articles 1 possess, and sore it is to part with it. Jam aware that it is not enough, nor do I see how 1 could ever repay but. dear sir, if you can, do as sist me.' ' I am very sorry, my good woman, that I cannot help you,' J said; and putting my hand into my pocket, [ accitlently felt my | purse, which contained about two dollars; i these f said to myself, cannot extricate her difficulty, she requires six; besides, if even j they could, I have need of this money for | some other purpose. Turning to the wid ow, I said: 'Have you 110 friend, no rela tion, who could give you this t;ifle V 'No, there m no one! f am ashamed to go from house to house. 1 would rather work day and night. My excuse of being here is, that people speak so much of your good II ess. 11, however, you cannot assist me, you will at least forgive my intrusion; and ' God, who has never yet forsaken me, will not surely turn away from me in my six tieth year!' . At this moment the door of my apart ! ment opened and my wife entered. I was ! ashamed and vexed. Gladly would I have j sent Iter away; for conscience whispered, j 'Giv<? to him that asketh thee; and from I him that asketh of thee, turn hot thou I away.' .She came up to me and said, with ! much sweetness, ' This is a good old wo man ; she has certainly been ill of late; as sist her if yon can/ Shame and compassion struggled in my darkened soul. • 1 have but two dollars,' I said in a whisper, 'and she requires six; I'll give her a trifle in her hand and let her go.' Laying her head on my arm and smil ing, my wife said aloud, what conscience had whispered before: 'Give to him that asketh thee ; and from him that,would bor row of thee, turn not. Thou away.' I biushed, and replied, with sotue little vexation : ' Would you give your ring for the purpose ?' ' \Y ith pleasure,' answered my wife, pul ling off her ring. The good widow was either too simple or too UKrtiost to notice what was goingop, and was preparing to retire, when my wife' called her to wait in the lobby. When we were left alone, I asked lpy wife, ' Are you in earnest about the ring?' 1 Certainly, how can you doubt it? ( she said: 'do you think that T would'trifle with charity ? lleniember what you said to me lAit half a year ago. Oh my dear friend, let us not make a show of the gos pel ; -you are in general so kind, so sympa thising, how is that you find it so difficult to assist this poor woman ? why did you not, without hesitation, give her what you had in your pocket? and did you not know that the quarter will be paid us in less than eight days?' She then added with much feeling: ' Take 110 thought fer your life, what ye shall-eat, or what yo shall drink ; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Behold the fowls of the air; they sow not. neither do they reap nor gather into barns ; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.' 'I kissed mv wife, while tears ran down my cbccka : } T-hanks, a thousand thanks, for this humiliation!' I turned to the desk, took from it six dollars, and opened the door to call the poor widow—all darken ed around me at the thought that I had been so forgetful of the omniscience of God j as to say to her, ' I cannot help you.' Oh thou false tongue! Thou false heart! If thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, 011 Lord, who shall stand ! ' Here is what you need/ I said addressing the widow. 'At first she seemed not to understand what I meant, and thought I was offering a small contribution, for which she thanked me, and pressed my hand; but when she perceived that I had given the whole sum, she could scarcely find words, to express her feelings. She cried: 'l)ear sir, I can not repay; all I possess is this poor book, and it is old.' ' Keep your book/ said I,' and the mon ey too, and thank God, and not me, for verily I deserve no thanks, after having so long resisted your entreaties; go in peace, and forgive an erring brother.' 'I returned to my wife with downcast looks; but she smiled, and said : 'Ho not take it so much to heart, my friend; you yielded at my first suggestion; but promise me that so long as I wear a gold ring on my finger, and you know that 1 possess *v- New Series—Vol. XVI, No. 22. cral besides, you will never allow yourself to say to any person, 4 I cannot help you ' She kissed me and ! left the apartment. , 4 When I found myselfalone, I sat down | and tyrote this account in my diary, in cn dcr to humble my dcccited heart—this heart which no longer-ago than yesipiday dictated the words : 4 Of all the characters in the world, there is none T would more avoid than that of a hypocriteyet to preach tle whole moral law and fulfil only the easy part of it, is hypocrisy. Merciful l ather, how long must I wait, and reflect/ and struggle, ere I shall be able to rely on j the perfect sincerity of my profession. 4 I read over once more the chapter which L had read in the morning with so little benefit, and felt fin Ore andmotu ashauieq, and convinced that there is no peace, except where principle and practice are m perfect accordance. How peaceful j ! v and happy I might have ended this day had 1 acted up conscientiously to the bless-. |ed doctrines I profess !

A few days since, says the Cleveland Herald,.a respectable business firm on Wa, i tcr street received a letter from a customer 'near \oungstown, enclosing an order for ! — o Wife ! The customer was rich, mid dle aged, and a Dutchman, and a widower.
