HARRISBURG, PA Tuesday Afternoon, January 28, 1862. THE BURNSIDE EXPEDITION. The news which we publish to-day,and which at first will appear disastrous and disheartening, is not so bad in reality, and we are confident that further accounts from the Expedition will revive the confidence of the American people in the ultimate success of that magnificent military undertaking. Gen. Burnside is a cool, discreet, able and indomitable officer, in whom the country can confide with a faith that is worthy these virtues, and we are certain that the Expe- dition will yet accomplish all the good for which it was devised and constructed. We must expect disasters when the aroused ele ments cross our path—but from the rebels, when in a fair contest, we must never look for defeat• AFTER! After an army of more than half a million men has been recruited; its organization accom plished, its discipline, arming, subsistence and quartering provided for, it becomes the sacred duty of the American people calmly to con template the result, and behold the immense labor necessarily attending these efforts. When the signal of rebellion rang from one plantation to another, and every slave driver in the south armed for the contest, the loyal people of the land little imagined that the emute then would assume the dreadful proportions of the rebel lion now. As commonwealth after common wealth asserted their mad independence and arrayed their citizens in the ranks of treason those best acquainted with the southern peo ple least imagined that the rebellion would ever pass beyond the resolves of state legisla tures or the threats of disappointed southern politicians. The entire free states were lulled to repose on this faith, strengthened as they were in the consciousness of numerical superior ity, force of population and wonderful prosperity_ and progress. After all these facts, after our flag was insulted in rebel territory, after it was betrayed by those sworn in its defence, after It suffsred insult, assault and contumely, the country suddenly awoke to the dreadful neces sity of meeting a foe armed with a portion of that country's own resources, stealthily pos sessed of its forts and arsenals, traitorously and truthfully boasting in its ranks the skill and experience of the army, and the daring and valor of the navy. After all these dreadful facts were forced upon the conviction of the people—the nation almost aghast with the stupendousness of the rebellion which threatened its extinction—and the government appalled with the magnitude of the responsi bility thus suddenly forced upon it—after all these occurrences and startling events, then it was that but one Department of the entire go vernment was looked to for succor and defence. We did not need diplomacy, and therefore the able head of the State Department could fold his arms and quietly contemplate the wild scene by which the administration was surrounded. • We did not need fmanciering then, because the labor must be performed before the laborer need be remunerated for his services. We needed an army, and the material for that ar my, though amply sufficient for all purposes, was yet rough, wild and undisciplined. We require I the resources to equip and subsist that force ; and these were offered—but above all these we needed a calm head and a stern hand to direct, control and fashion this mass of men and over-abundance of resources. This was accomplished—accomplished, too, while the nation was yet struggling in the grasp of rebellion. And now that our innumer able armies attest the spirit of the loyal people of the land, when the bugle notes of our cavalry are heard wherever there is a foe to meet them, and the revile and tatto resound along the entire border of rebellion or send their shrill notes through the very heart of treason—after all this herculean development of resource and wonderful power of discipline, let us not forget the man who grasped the helm of the War Department when it was doubtful whether a dozen officers in the American army were devoted to the American Union. Vial Men Awas SIMON CAMERON. Whoever may reap the glory of victory , when battle achieves that result, and whoever may be in authority when peace is once more restored to the land, the people will have cause to remember the Secretary of War who welcomed the first sol diers that arrived for the defence of the Amer ican capital—and in them and in him the deeds and the glory of the present great struggle will both be concentrated as the historian records the bloody transactions of the present, as well es the ingratitude of those who would seek the aspersion of their country's benefactor. The present, full of uncertainty and dark rebellion, will give birth to a future full of hope and glory, _when the faithful public servant, amid the calm judgment and repost of the American people, will meet his just reward. It is this felththat animates the friends of Simon Cameron, as they renew their devotion to the national ad ministration, and arouse themselves to an in creased vigor in the cause of the Union. It is this that will make their as well as hi s A im glorious! CONGRESS From whatever stand-point we can observe this body, and however we may respect it as one of the important branches of the govern ment, there Is no use denying this fact, that Congress is far behind the spirit and . energy of the people, and that it is also shamefully neg lecting its duty. Discussion seems to be the standing order of the day, as if words hastily ut tered in impromptu debates or quietly matured and cautiously declared for the purpose of man ufacturing personal reputation, were the eset n dais to order and discipline in our organiza tion for defence and preservation, or necessary to our successful efforts to put down rebellion. Every thing in Congress is regarded with the false notion in either branch, that the particu lar body acting on a certain subject, is abso_ lutely and in fact the possessor of all the pow er and the controller of the full destiny of the government. Imbued with this notion, Con gress is running after the authority of other de partments and co-ordinate branches of the gov ernment instead of quietly attending to its own business, until individual members of both the Senate and House of Representatives are im pressed with the egotism that they are cen sors instead of legislators, military direc tions instead of legislative projectors.-- The world is beginning to laugh at the spectacle presented in some of the proceed ings of Congress, and unless members curb their passions and their ambition, the country will next be called on to resist the mad ab stractions and political follies daily originating and transpiring in Congress, with the same resolution with which the people are now re pelling rebellion. Congress should work more and talk less, while individual members would win a nobler fame in silence, than they are earning by a constant exhibition of their collaquial powers It would be a fortunate resolve for the country if a parliamentary rale were adopted restricting debate to the committees where acts of legisla tion originate, and forbidding any member from making more than one speech during a Congress. The country would be the gainer in time, legislation, exemption from nonsense, the shame of ridicule and the suspense of delay. THE TRUTH, TRITELY SPOKEN. We have repeatedly alleged that the object of the slaveholder's rebellion was the organization of an aristocratic class by the establishment of exclusive political privileges in the south. This assertion has as often provoked the old political allies of the southern slave breeding rebels, as it has been the means of assisting to place the issues of the rebellion in their proper light be fore the people of Pennsylvania. Since our as sertions on this subject, the debates in Congress have elicited some strange sentiments both in favor of and against the assumptions of the slave master in the rebellion he has so wickedly precipitated. Among the most profound and truthful of all those who have spoken on this subject, is the speech of Senator Davis, from Kentucky, who, while he claims to be loyal, is also one of the most tenacious defenders of slavery in Congress. And _yet Senator Davis does not hesitate to make this candid ad- mission : "The cotton states, by their slaves, have amassed fortunes, and many of their planters have princely revenues—from fifty to one hun dred thousand dollars a year. This wealth has begot pride, and insolence and ambition, and these points of the southern character have been displayed most insultingly in the halls of Congress. I admit it all. But in these southern states, and among these planters, are some of the truest gentlemen, in the highest sense of the word, that I have ever known, and some of the purest patriots. I admit, however, that, as a class, the wealthy cotton growers are in solent ; they are proud ; they are domineering ; they are ambitious. They have monopolized the government in its honors for forty or fifty years, with few interruptions. When they saw the sceptre about to depart from them in the election of Lincoln, sooner than give up office, in their mad and wicked ambition they deter mined to disrupt the old Confederation and to erect a new one, where they would have undis puted power." THE CASE OF THE TRAITOR, BRIGHT. The discussion which ILts been elicited on the subject of the alleged treason, or complicity with treason, of Jesse D. Bright, a United States Senator from Indiana, has had but one influence among the loyal people of the coun try. There is no question among the people as to Bright's inclination to betray his country —no doubt of his purpose to aid rebellion.— Therefore, the special pleadings of a certain coterie of Senators in behalf of Bright can effect only the popularity of these gentlemen, with out doing Bright any service ; and on this ac count we would remind those who still possess the loyal esteem and respect of their constitu ents, to beware how they trifle with these sen timents in their connection with this case.— Those who touch pitch are defiled. THE LONDON Trims says that the British gov ernment would have done as much to rescue two negroes as it did to release Mason and Sli- dell, after they had been taken from an English mail steamer. The same journal also protests against any extravagant welcome being extend ed to the released traitor envoys on their ap pearance in England. All this is a backing down on the part of the Thunderer, as the let ter of Secretary Seward produced a greatohange of opinion among the English masses, so that the Times to be up with its patrons, was bound to change also, or loose its accustomed share of patronage. Con. H. C. LONGNECHRR, appointed to the command of the Twenty-third Pennsylvania regiment, is one of the bravest and most ac complished gentlemen in the country, and we rejoice sincerely that he has once more been placed in a position where active duty will af ford him the opportunity of doing gallant ser vice to his country. Col. Birney, who organ ized this regiment, has deservedly been promo ted to the position of Brigadier General. Houn OY RITSIBIENTATIVICS, Harrisburg, January 27, 1862. EDITOR PINNITLVANLA.

GREAT STORM AT HATTERAS, SEVERAL VESSELS AND GUN BOATS SUNK : p . —.— Treachery of the Pilots at Hatteras Suffering for want of Water and Col, Allen and Surgeon Miller drowned THE EXPEDITION OVER THE BAR. Portions of the Fleet Gradually Arriving VI I / 4 1PSI_A GEN, BURNSIDE CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS. The Rebels Frightened and will not make ACTIVE PREPARATIONS FOR THE PRO TECTION OF NORFOLK. By the arrival of the steamer Eastern State we have the first direct and official intelligence of the arrival of the Burnside expedition at its destination. The Eastern State lett Hatteras Inlet last night and arrived here late this afternoon. The recent storms were unusually severe at Hatteras and considerably delayed and crippled the ex pedition, but when the Eastern State left every thing looked favorable. The expedition sailed from Hampton Roads on the 11th and 12th insts., and consisted of over one hundred and twenty-five vessels of all classes. It arrived at Hatteras between the 12th and 17th, having been greatly retarded by the severe storms and adverse winds, which prevailed about that time. After their arrival, they experienced a series of storms of such un paralleled severity that for two days in succes sion, on more than one occasion, it was impos sible to hold communication between any two vessels of the fleet. After the first storm it was discovered that instead of vessels drawing 8i feet being able CO go over the swe.l or bars, as Gen. Burnside had been informed, no vessel drawing over 7 feet 3 inches could pass the outside bar drawing over 13 feet unless skillfully piloted. Cones smantly_f_6. Ammer Clig_a Maw Trbric_lairnok on the outside bar, loaded with a cargo valued at $200,000, consisting of powder, rifles and bombe, and proved a total loss. The captain and crew, after bravely remaining in the rigging for forty hours, were saved. The gunboat Zonave dragged her anchors, stove a hole in her bottom and sunk. Total loss. Her crew being saved. The steamer Pocahontas went ashore near the light house and become a total wreck. The valuable heroes . belonging to Eistand's battery were on board and were all drowned, including several valued at $5OO each. The Grape Shot parted hawser, and went down at sea ; crew saved. An unknown schooner, ladened with oats, and another schooner, name unknown, and six of her crew, were also lost on the beach. The Louisiana struck on the bar, where she still remains. The report of her having been burnt is entirely incorrect ; she may get off. The Eastern Queen, and also the Valtisan, are ashore. The latter will probably get off. The water vessels had not reached their des tination when the Eastern State left, and had it not been for the condensers on board some of the vessels, and one on shore, terrible suffer ing would have occurred. As it was the water casks were old whiskey, oamphene and Kero sene oil casks. It is thought that the Union pilots of Hatter as proved traitors, having intentionally run several vessels ashore. The storm can only be described as terrific.— The waters in every direction were covered with foam. Waves dashing, with a clear sweep across Hatteras shore and completely cutting off the fort from all outside communication.— The current was running at the rate of five miles an hour, and chop seas prevented General Burnside from answering any signals of distress or communication ;with his generals. At one moment the flag would appear union down on a number of vessels, indicating want of water, coal or provisions. Colonel Allen, of the Nineteenth New Jersey Regiment, and hie surgeon, Miller, with a boat's crew and second mate of the Ann E. Thompson, when they found that the troops needed water; manned the life boat, in order to reach the General. Unfortunatel‘the boat was swamped, and the Colonel, Burgeon and Mate drowned. The crew of the boat were saved. Despite ail these adverse circumstances, General Burnside has succeeded in getting over the bar one half of his vessels, all the gunboats, and 9,000 troops. Everything appeared to be in a satisfactory condition when the Eastern State left. The large transports with troops remained outside of the bar until the arrival of the S. R. Spauld ing from Port Royal on the third, when Captain Howes volunteered to bring them all inside. This was accomplished yesterday afternoon. The Eastern State, as she was passing last night left a portion of the tug boats chartered by Gen. Burnside for the expedition who re fused to proceed any further than Fortress Monroe. Fair weather has now set In. Schooners are making their appearance with water and coal and everything looks more promising. Provisions. a Stand. FORTRUS MONROII, Jan. 28 Gen. Burnside has been indefatiguable, day and night. He has been at his post, perform ing the duties of his staff of officers. He is con fident of ultimate succesq and has the respect of every man under his command. General Burnside left Fortress Monroe on the Picket, but subsequently took possession of the Spaulding, which he will occupy as his flag ship. She will be ust d for taking the remain ing troops over the bar. The only troops that have been landed are the 24th Massachusetts regiment and Rhode Island battery. Col. Hawkins' regiment goes with General Burnside's expedition, and their place is to be filled by the 6th New Hampshire, There has been no loss of life, except what is above mentioned. Eleven deaths of soldiers have occurred since he fleet sailed. Mr. Spelbturn comes In the Eastern State as bearer of dispatches from General Burnside.— We are indebted to Dr. A. Rawlings, the only other passenger who goes north, for the above statement. Different reports are received at Hatteras from the surrounding population in relation to the diaposposition and intentions of the enemy. Some who come in say they are completely frightened and will not make a stand. Another report is that large masses of troops will be concentrated in the vicinity, and still another story confirmed by many, is that their exer tions will be directed chiefly to placing obsta cles in the way of our progress to Norfolk. The rebels keep a good look-out for our movements with their gunboats. Two of them made their appearance immediately after the storm, but disappeared when chased. The mails by the Eastern State will be for warded to-morrow. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. SAILING OF THE PENSACOLA.

Four paymasters bound for Ship Island took passage. The Baltimore boat brought down this morn ing the 2nd and 4th batteries from Wisconsin who will remain at Fortress Monroe for the prest nt. Marquis De Montaignac, admiral of the French steam frigate Pomone, returned from his trip to Charleston yesterday, and proceeds north to-night. A flag of truce was sent out this afternoon to meet the rebel steamer Selden and brought back the followmg released prisoners: Adjutant C. L. Pierson, 20th Massachusetts. Lieut. Parks, 4th Micoigan. Dr. W. B Fletcher, 6th Indiana. Lieut. Wm. Booth, 2d Wisconsin. Lieut. C. M. Hcoper, let California. We find the following in southern papers: To-day's Richmond Dispatch has reliable au thority for making the statement that General Beauregard takes command of the army at Columbus, Ky., and that General Gustavus W. Smith succeeds him in the position he has so long and acceptably occupied. At Columbus, We understand, he is subordinate to no one except Gen. A. Sidney Johnston. This change goes into effect without delay. NASHVILLE, Jan. 24.—Reports from Bowling Green confirm the washing away of the pon toons and newly constructed portion of Green river bridge.

Insurance not exceeding $20,000. AuoisrA, Jan. 25.—The Charleston Courier of this morning says, information has been re ceived from New Orleans that the Confederate steamer Calhoun,on her way from Havana, with a large and valuable cargo, was chased by a Lincoln cruiser and abandoned and burned. The Richmond Despatch has heard that in Wayne county, where it was proposed to draft, the militia, to a man, instantly volunteered for the war. This unexpected response was so unusual that contentions resulted upon ques tions of remaining at home, and those upon whom this lot fell were loud in their expres sion of disappointment. A dispatch from Augusta says that the Sa vannah .News confirms the report of the capture of Cedar Keys. The Federals burnt the town, wharves, five schooners in port, also fifty bales of cotton, and one hundred and fifty barrels of turpentine. The enemy have left the place. FROM WASHINGTON. The Official Despatches from the Burnside Expedition. The Reports Greatly Exaggerated. Appointment of Commissioners to visit the Prisoners at Richmond. WASIIINGTON, Jan. 28. The official reports from General Burnside have been received. The accounts already pub lished are officially stated to be greatly exag gerated. The Secretary of War has issued an order ap pointing Rev. Bishop Ames, of the Methodist Churcb,and Hon.liamilton Fish i ng commission• ers to visit the prisoners belonging to the United States army, now in captivity at Richmond and elsewhere, and will proceed under a flag of truce from Fortress Monroe, and make known to the rebel authorities the object of their mis sion, when, if refused, they will return. • FROM MISSOURI.

General Ha!leek, and they will be execn• ted at a time and place to be hereafter desig nated. A gentleman who reached this city yesterday from Palmyra reports that the long bridge on the Hannibal and St. Joseph railroad was burned by the rebels on Saturday night. The bridge bad just been completed. Lomsvms, Jan. 27.—Gen. McCook arrived this evening from lolumfordsville. He reports all quiet down the road. A rumor, generally discredited here, prevailed to-day, that the rebel Gen. George B. Crittenden, was wounded at the Logan Cross Road on the fifth. XXXVIIth Congress--First Session. WassuaTon, Jan. 23. Mr. HARRIS, (N. Y.,) presented the petition of a large number of merchants of New York in favor of the restoration of the warehousing system. Several petitions were presented in favor of the employment of homeopathic surgeons in the army. Mr. TRUMBULL (Ill.) presented the petition of W. C. Jewett, of Colorado, favoring the con eervatite policy of the Government, and the issue of United States bills as a legal tender. Mr. FOSTER (Conn.) offered a resolution that the Secretary of the Treasury inform the Sen ate what, if any further legislation is neces sary, to enable the Executive department to take charge of the cotton and other lands of Sout i Carolina now in possession of the gov ernment, and to place the same under cultiva tion. Also if any turther legislation is necessary to provide for the blacks of those localities and furnish them proper employment. Adopted. Mr. Wilms, (Mass) introduced a bill to de fine the pay and emoluments of Captain offi cers of the army. Referred. Mr. Summit, (Mass.,) introduced a bill to provide for the revision and consolidation of the Statutes of the United States. Referred. On motion of Mr. WADE the bill to authorize the President to take possession of certain rail road and telegraph lines was taken up. Mr. WARE 'said that the bill w.s intended only as a war measure and to affect such roads as were not willing to be used by the Govetnment. Representative Eta of New York took his seat to-day for the first time since his release from Richmond. Mr. Wars. (N. Y.,) rose to a question of priv upg.,&-uarix.43 ii_atateunent In a news paper but the speaker ruled that a newspaper statement is not a question of privilege. BALTIMORE, Jan. 28 The House then went into committee of he whole on the state of the Union, and reanmep the con ideration-of the executive, judicial and legislative appropriation bill. This was subsequently laid aside and the special order proceeded with, namely—the bill to authorize the issue of United States notes, and for the redemption or funding thereof, and for the funding of the floating debt, which was published last week. . Mr. gPAULDING (N. Y.) rose to address the committee, when Mr. MORRILL (Vt.) inquired whether the gen tleman proposed to leave the bill open to dis cussion and amendment. Mr. SPAULDING replied that the bill would take the usual course and an opportunity would be afforded for debate as long as practicable compatibly with the pressing demand on the treasury. Mr. MORRILL gave notice of his attention to introduce a substitute for the bill omitting such part as makes the notes legal tender. Mr. SPAULDING proceeded to explain the bill saying, that the Secretary of the Treasury has acted in strict conformity with the law, and borrowed money at the rates authorized by the act of Congress. He has borrowed a hundred millions at 7 3-10 per cent, and issued 6 per cent bonds for fif tymillions for which he has received not quite forty-five millions. The Secretary has acted in good faith and should be sustained. We were never in greater peril than non, and our best energies are re quired to meet the crisis. This was a war measure, one of necessity and not of choice.— The public debt on the fifteenth of January, was three hundred and sixty millions seven hundred and sixty-four thousand dollars.
