Arrival of the Burnside Expedition.

FORTRIBIIifONRON, January 10.
The long expected Burnside :Expedition has
arrived here. The advance, in ocatuzsand oaf
General Poster , nail-Wks* Blempton' Beads at
about one o'clock tee sirtem6on and the re
maining vessels ham been arriv ing up to the
present time. The' - greatest enthusiasm was
manifested here when it became known that
the expedition was coming up, and' the shore,
wharves and ramparts of the Fortress were soon
crowded with spectators. Enthusiastic cheers
were exchanged between the troops on the
transports and the crowd on the shore, and the
various bands of the regiments comprising the
expedition performed - a number of patriotic
airs, "Dixie" being the most prominent. ,
The unusual excitement at the Roads this of
ternoon woke up the curiosity of the enemy,
and a steam tug was sent out to reconnoitre.
She came out some distance, and, after taking
observations of thefleet, returned. The desti
nation of the expedition is as much a secret, as
ever. It will probably remain here a few
days, or until the final arrangements are com
pleted.
• General Burnside will arrive here this even
ing. The fleet was detained some twelve hours
in the bay by the heavy fog prevailing. Gen.
Foster and staff paid their respects to General
Wool this afternoon.
.Christmas and New Year Days were cele
brated at the Inlet in an appropriate manner,
and the Bth of Janiary, was signalized by a
general display of bunting.
Some of the soldiers at Hatteras are employ
ing their leisure time in conducting an adult
school for the instruction of the negroes. The
schbol is under the eaarge of Patrick Kelly, of
Company 0, United States Artillery, a man
deeply interestid in the scheme, and every way
qualified for his difficult post.

Information reached this city last evening to
the effect that a federal fleet had made its ap
pearanos in Pamlico Sound. The fleet consists
of twenty gunboats, drawing from five to six
feet of water, and earlllng, some of them, five
guns. They were first discovered by Captain
Hunter, who, while teconnoitetiag, was shot at
by them. On his return to the island he re
ported the fact; and our force proceeded at
once to place themselves in a state of readiness
for an attack.
Twa is supposed to be a portion of the Burn
side Expedition, and it is thought by some that
it; object is to prepare fur an attack upon Nor
folk from the rear. Howe. er this may be,one
thing is certain, and that is, that should this
be their programme they will fiud it a hard
road to travel before they get.to the end of it.
we trust that our ftiends at Ikanoke Island will
make every preparation to successfully resist
the foe; and that when he shows battle they
'will keep themselves cool and their powder
dry, and by their valor cause another "master
ly retreat" upon the part of the Hessians.

The Western Expedition.
ITS PASSAGE DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI.
Formidable Character of the
Expedition.
The advance of the expedition, composed of
McClelland's brigade, landed eighteen miles
down the Mississippi, at the month of Mayfield
Creek, on the Kentucky side, where they pitch
ed their tents for the night.
General Giant and staff went down during the
afternoon and returned in the evening. The
remainder of the force will move in the morn
ing.
POBALIDABLE CHARACTER OP THE EXPEDITION
We glean the following particulars of this
bong talked of expedition down the Mississippi
rivet, and judging from its formidable charm
ter, is destined to strike a terrible blow to re
beldorgbe The moat extensive preparations
have been made for this expedition, which has
been planned by the most skilful military and
naval authorities in the Western Department.
Next to the overpowering numbers of the
expedition is -the formidable character of the
floatting batteries, which will form a compo
nent part of it. These have been prepared
with great care,.and consist of boats of the
most substantial construction. The total num
ber of boats is seventy-eight, of which twelve
are gun-boats, thirty-eight mortar boats, and
twenty-eight are tugs and steamboats. The
gun-boats are as follows :

Seven of these boats cost eighty-nine thou
sand dollars each to build. They are one hun
dred and seventy-five feet in length, fifty-one
feet six inches in breadth, and draw five feet
when loaded.
The bows and bow bulwarks mishits of about`
three feet of oak timber, bolted together and
sheathed with the beet quality of wrought iron
plates, two and a half inches thick. The sides
have the same sheathing, with less bulk of tim
ber. Each boat is pierced for fifteen guns,
four on each side, four on the stem. and three
at the bows. The bow-guns are eighty-four
pounder rifled cannon; the others are eight
inch columbiads. The sides of the baste, both
above and below the knees, incline at an angle
of forty-five degrees, and nothing but a plung
ing shot from a high bluff could strike the stir
(See at right angles. The boilers and machine
ry are so situated as to be perfectly protecreel
and may be considered quite out of danger.
The iron plating has been severely tested by
shots from rifled cannon at different distances,
and has shown itself to be utterly impervious
to any shots that have been sent against it,
even at a range of three hundred yards.
The Benton is the flag ship of the expedition.
She is one hundred and eighty-six feet lung on
deck, and seventy-five feet wide at the b.am.
Her hold is eight and a half feet in depth; and
with a loavy armament and crew on bo ii rd,
will dravi about five - met. She has a double
hull, with wheels working in the recess, near
the btern. Her bull is of four inch plank, mad
timbers eighE by ten inches. The bull is divi
ded by five lore and aft bulkheads, and thirteen
cross bulkheads, maki, g lorry five water tight
corn partrnente. The deck frame beams are ten
inches square.
The main deck is planked with four and .a
half inch plank. Tue forward defence req.
down to the two feet water line, and is of twee
y-four inch timber, all sheathed with two and
a half inch iron plating. entire boat is
sealed with three and four inch oak plank,
caulked and made perfectly tight. Casematts
extend around the whole boat, and are male
of twelve inch timber. At the knuckle on the
main deck the timber is from toree to tour feet
in thickness, sotto. The Benton is pieteed for
and will carry eighteen heavy guns, which are
trom 82-pounders to 42-pounders calibre, some
rifled and some smooth bore, and there are two
9 inch Dahlgren guns. The principal part of
the armament is disposed in the forward part
of the boat, there being two guns only at the
stren.
The machinery, boilers &c., are all under the
deck. '1 be cylinders are 20 inches in diameter
with 7 feet stroke. There are four boilers, 24
feet long and 40 inches in diameter, double
fluted. The wheels are 20 feet in, diameter,
with 91 feet bucket. The wheel-house is pro
tected by timber from six to e ght inches in
thickness, and so- athed with heavy iron. The
pilot house is protected by 12 inch oak timber
placed at an angle of about thirty degrees with
the upper deck, is conical in shape, and of very
ingenious construction.
There are two magazines, one on each side,
just forward of the.wheels. They are each ca
pable of carrying one hundred rounds of am
munition for every gun, and afford ample room
for the necessary evolutions within them. The
magazine can be flooded with water in a mo
ment from the main deck, and are furnished
and arranged in true naval style.
The mortar boats are built of heavy timbers,
the sides of boiler iron, loop-holed for musket.
ry, and are so arranged that they can be used
for bridges. They will each carry one fifteen
inch mortar. The mortar boats will be towed
into position by tugs.
With this formidable armament, and a force
of seventy-five thousand men, the onward
march must be comparatively resistless. The
progress of the flotilla will probably be by the
Mississipi to Columbus and Memphis; by the
Tennessee to the mouth of the Sandy river,
and by the Cumberland river to Nashville.
Within a few days we shall make history very
fast.

wheat. The wheat is boiled about twenty min
utes in water, and then . placed in a pan and
browned the same as coffee. So far, we prefer
it to the genuine article, and it certainly is more
healthy. With a pound of coffee and eight
quarts of wheat, which costs from three to four
cents a quart, this beverage is produced so
cheap, that it makes up all the difference in the
advance in price, of both tea and coffee.
