TRXDGE. THE WAR IN NORTH CARO The Importance of the Expedi- A special correspondent of the -New York Times, writing from Beaufort, N. C. says : "Compared with the gigantic con tests which are going on in the Wast, I am aware the• country will hardly pause to give a passing glance at the operations of the army on this part of the coast ; and yet, as a part of the great programme of the war, the intelligent reader will not fail to attach to our movements their true significance and impOrtanCe. The day. which sees the rebel flag humbled which now defiantly floats above Fort Macon, must witness the opening of one of the most important seaports of the South, which, by its railroad facilities, affords us unrestricted communication. with the mountain region of North Carolina, with Tennessee and the whole Southwest.— Hatteras, with its shallow and always dangerous inlet, and perplexing "awash," will become obsolete. Our troops for re inforcing the victorious Union army will sail securely into the harbor of Beaufort in four days from Norfolk, and with all its provisions and material of war, will be lauded from ship and steamer directly upon railroad cars, at Morehead City, which will land them at Newburn in two hours. at Goldsboro in three, and Raleigh, the capital of the State, in less than four hours. From these points, with the road and bridges intact, an army of any size, with all its essential materiel, can be moved West, toward Memphis, North to Richmond, or Southward to - Charleston or Savannah, without. a day's; delay. except such as a divided and distracted rebel army can oppose to its progress. In a word, the possession of Beaufort, with its great avenue to the interior, seals the fate of rebel rule in North Carolina, and opens up the freest possible access to the very heart of the rebellion- in the South.. A hundred natural obstacles, which have op posed the progress of our forces, will have been overcome, and the successful corn- pletiou of the eatirpaigu undertaken by Gen. Burnside in this part of the South will be comparatively easy, and only a Matter of time. Suppression of the African Slave • Trade---The New Treaty. From the Waahington Intelligeneer• The Senate on Wednesday, we Under stand, gave its unanimous consent to a treaty recently negotiated by the Secreta ry of State, Mr. Seward, on the part of our government, and Lord Lyons, Minister of England, on behalf of his • government. which, if we are correctly informed of its provisions, will more effectually remove a source of constantly recurring irritation be tween the two countries than Any interna tional compact which has been entered into between them since the Treaty of Ghent. At a Period as far • back as that during the Presidency of Mr. Monroe, after the government of the United States-had by a solemn act declared the African slave trade piracy, Mr. John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State, negotiated a treaty With the British Minister by which, for the more effectual suppression of the slave trade; the right of search of vessels: under the American flag was yielded to British cruisers both in the waters of the African coast and those of. America. This treaty or convention was submitted to the. Senate of the United States for its 'consent, and was confirmed by that body (two-thirds of course consenting)- with a single amend ment, to wit, striking out the privilege 'of search in American waters. This amend ment not being acceded to by England the treaty failed: and from that time to this, through various unsuccessful efforts to ad justit, the question has remained open— one party frequently exercising the right of vtsit, if not of search ; and the other re g and complaining of it as an insult and aggression,, often . threatening •serions misunderstanding lietvieen• the twomitions, until the present moment, when thc - Cofin sell oft wtsdoro,,,humenitr and corsision heVe r'ei'ai lea; an I &ikon hasteen settled uzianinfouilY,*4;ilesii from what we learn of . the trietif;:felta touslyeonferring, hotor.'oll . the :Aistin guished negotiatiors, who will .receive, as they richly deserve, the thank and plau 7 dits of the friendetif peace and humanity throughout Christendom. • .

" SIR DALES C. ROSS, THE ARCTIC EXPLORER From the London Poet. April 6th. Admiral Sir James Clark Ross, the Arc tic voyager, died at Aylesbury on Thurs day, aged sixty-two. The deceased was the third eon of Mr. George Ross, of Bals orrock, in the county of . Galloway, and nephew of Sir John Ross, K. C. 8., and was born in 1800. He entered the navy in 1812; became Rear Admiral of the White in 1858; served in all the naval expeditions for the discovery of the North west Passage from .1813 to 1888; discov ered and planted the British flag on the North Magnetic Pole,. in 1831; crossed the Atlantic to relieve the frozen whalers in Baffin's Bay, in -1886; commanded the expedition to the Antarctic regions, from 1889 to 1843; attained the highest latitude ever yet reached (78 degrees 10 seconds), and approached within one hundred and sixty miles of the South Magnetic Pole. Obituary. Defense of the Committee. Mr. DAWES, (Rep.) of-Massachusetts, said that. last Monday, when the Commit tee were absent, quietly, and as they sup posed faithfully, attending to their duty in New York, a premeditated, and as it would appear preconcerted t at t ack was made upon their personal character and integri ty. This was the second attack of the kind made during their absence. In the course of his remarks, he said that General Fremont had charged that the committee had come to St. Louis en couraging insubordination, and to. create such a public opinion as would cause his removal; that they had refused to receive evidence, and had suppressed testimony which had been received by them, and that he would offer testimony to sustain these charges. He now inquired of any member of the Committee on the Conduct of the War whether General Fremont had offered evi .dence to sustain these charges. Mr: ODELL, (Dem.) of New York, re plied that nothing had been laid before that committee except the statement of Fremont himself. Mr. DA.WES said the second charge is of such a chakacter that no man, having proper self respect, could pass by it un noticed. The gentleman from Pennsylva nia (Kr. Stevens) on last Monday' remark ed that the committee had committed more frauds than they had detected, and that it was a scandal-hunting committee, expend ing the public money and bringing disgrace on the country. He had given the gentle man notice that he intended to notice these remarks, but he observed that he was absent to-day. Mr. COLFAX, (Rep.) explained, by re quest . of Mr.. Stevens, that the latter had an engagement with some gentlemen from Pennsylvania, who were going to, leave in the afternoon cars, but he would endeavor to be in the House before the adjourn ment. Mr. DAWES, during his elaborate de. fense of the committee,said they are charg ed with the duty of examining into con tracts, and not to injure individuals. They did not go to St. Louis as enemies of Fre mont; and would be news to-his quiet neighborhood, at this late day, that he was counted among them. He earnestly con demned the: efforts to undermine the confidence of the House of the country in the committee. The motives which promp ted the attack on Monday were known.— The committee, in their early. progress, had the support of the gentleman from Penn sylimma, (Mr. Stevens f ) and. it was only when they throw themselves between the treasury and - Simon Stevens, the brother of the gentleman, and . who was interested in the sale-and purchase of five thousand arms for.ninety thousand dollars, that they encountered the opposition of the gentle minfrim Pennsylvania, which had cul minated in an attack on the integrity and character of the Committee. He could not overlook the fact of the connection of oth ers with this matter.

HARRISONBURG, Va., April 2.7.—Yester day afternoon the pickets of Colonel Don nelleihrigtilsOfttiened eight miies hence, 94 the Gordonville rosd, .were attacked by a large force of Colonel Ashby's rear guard, and driven back. One man, named Isaac Seelley, of the 46th Pennsylvania regiment, was killed, and three others were wounded. The reserve of the 46th Pennsylvania 'regiment, and a section of Hampton's bat tery then advanced and repulsed the reb els. They retreated to a wood, where several of oar shells bursted in their very midst. A Wagon was seen gathering up and carrying off their dead and wounded. Owing to the horrible state of the roads between this town and Colonel Donnelly's encampment; and the impossibility of for warding supplies, he has been ordered to take up a new position nearer the town, until the roads are in better condition. Jackson's main body is encamped near the east bank of the Shenandoah bridge, over the river, and strongly picketed. NEW ORLEANS Narrative of Affairs. The telegraph yesterday announced the capture of New Orleans; the news was re ceived through Secession sources. The New York Herald, of Saturday, has an account of matters in New Orleans, furnished by an escaped Union man, from which we select the following. If this account of the fortifications at New Orleans be true its capture by the Union forces is the grandest achievement of the campaign : By the arrival of a gentleman in this city who occupied a prominent position in one of the rebel regiments, but who es caped in the guise of pastry cook on board the Republic, leaving his wife and family to take care of his business in New Orleans, we are put in possession of important in formation relative to the fortifications of that city, the condition of the rebels. the extent of the Union feeling in that quarter, which will well repay perusal. Our informant. is• a gentleman of intelli gence and a very shrewd observer. Sketch of the Fortifications Around New Orleans. Fort Jackson, on the Mississippi river, mounts one hundred and four guns, and Fort Phillip, nearly opposite, sixty-five. There are masked batteries on either side of the river, extending eight miles. These batteries are built in the form of triangles, base to base. The rebels have thrown chains across the river, which are held by rafts at each end, and then anchored. They also have rafts loaded with turpen tine in readiness to use against the soldiers of the Union, by floating them, when set on fire in proximity to the Union fleet. Within about nine miles of the city of New Orleans, on the old battle ground of the last war with England, there is a forti fiCation extending front the river to the lake and:the Meriden Gulf Railroad. This fortification is built on at ridge, and after it crosses the Mexican Gulf Railroad it emerges into a swamp, where it is inter ' rupted, and again commences on the other side, where the Louisiana race course for merly was, extending to the lake. This fortification mounts forty-two guns, seve ral of which were spiked one night by the Union soldiers, while the sentinels were "on duty." Within about four to six miles of the city of New Orleans, near Algiers, which is situated on a road back of the river, two forts are now built, large enough to hold front twelve to fifteen guns each. There is an intrenchment thrown up opposite the Mint, •on the levee or bank of the river. mounting one gun; but four guns can be worked with facility there. At Carrollton, five miles above the city, are two fortifications, extending across to Kennerville, thence to the Jackson !tail road, ten miles from the city, and on to the lake. Governor Moore, when called upon by the Common Council of New Orleans in regard to the defences of the city, stated to them that "he did not know what to do in the matter, as he was not competent to fill the position he held." , How New Orleans May be Cap- tared. By going up Lake Ponchartrain the Union forces might enter the heart of the city by two basins. On passing up the lake to Pass Manchac, where the Jackson Railroad crosses, they could cut off all communication with the city and Camp Moore, which is 79 miles distant. To take the bridge at the Pass Manchac would-be to cut, off all communication with Camp Moore and effectually eripple the retreat of Beauregard. The ground being exceed ingly Swampy, the only available place that the rebels could select to give battle would be where there is only a single line of rail road. Pass Manchac is thirty-seven miles from New °deans, and the only fort to pass in going from the Rigolets to Lake Borgan into Lake Ponchartrain is Fort Pike, which is not strongly fortified, and could be easily taken. The water around this fort is generally eight feet in depth. Row "Beaueegard's Pets" An _lowered kis , Requisition. .

Important from Waoltington: WAsni:vuToN CITY, April 28.—The rebel steamer Florida has been captured by the ruited States bark Pursuit. Forts Barnacas and Mcßae have been evacuated by the rebels. The Connecticut brought ex-members of the Galveston Artillery, who escaped from impressment, also four refugees from Tampa Bay. Every port except Tampa, on the coast of Florida, has been evacuated by the The sloops-of-war Richmond, Hartford, Brooklyn and Iroquois were plated with heavy chain cable from their ports to, a point below the water line, previous to commencing the attack on . the Mississippi forts. The Captain of the French war steamer Milan, visited Fort Jackson under a flag 'of truce with the view of assisting the French residents of New Orleans who might desire to get out of the way of the impending battle.

A bill reported by Mr. Colfax from the Post Office Committee, provides that all railroads carrying United States mails shall enter into contract with the Post Office Department, and if they disagree as to the price. it shall be settled by the Court of Claims. Mr. Arnold, from the Committee on Roads and Canals, has reported in favoi of the bill for the enlargement of the Illi-; nois and Michigan canal. The report states that the work has been more than half completed by the State of Illinois having expended over $6,000,000. The canal has . been in operation since 1848 and now yields an annual revenue of $200,000; this will be greatly increased by ! the enlargement of the Illinois canal as proposed. The State of Illinois offers this canal and its revenues to the United States on con dition that CongresS will provide the means of enlarging it - so A as to pass gunboats from the Lakes to the' Mississippi river.. This will place us upon an equality with Great Britain, that power being able by her ca nals to pass war vessels from the ocean to the Lakes. The report in view of the fact that by treaty the United States is prohibited from building or maintaining armed vessels on the lakes, urges the necessity and impor tance of the immediate ' enlargement of this canal by which the gunboat feet on the Mississippi could be passed-through to the lakes; had this medium of cornimmica tion been open at the beginning of the re bellion, the 1200 vessels and'ls,ooo sailors now shut up on the lakeii would have been at the disposal Of-the government,— The saving to the Tresisitry during the past year would have been vastly more than the cost of the ' contemplated work. The Committee believing its income will more than pay the interest on its cost and ultimately pay the entire investment.

Ir!"1, WASHINGTON CITY , April zu.--xtousz —Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, reported book m the Committee on the Territories 'A bil to punish and prevent the practice of polyga my and annul certain, acts ofthe Territory of Utah, establishing the same. , . The' House resumed the consideration' of the report of the Committee on Govern ment Contracts. The first resolution reported by them was postponed for two weeks. The next resolution in the series was .taken up. Resolved, ThattheSecretaryofthe Treas ury. be requested to adjust the claims against the government for the 5,000 Hall carbines purchased through Simon Stevens, Esq.,by General John C. Fremont on the 6th ay of August, .1861, and afterwards delivered at the United . States Arsenal at the city of St. Louis, on the basis of a sale 1 of such arms to the government for $1 250 each, rejecting all other demands against the government on account of the purchase of said arms. Mr. Stevens, of Pa., moved the follow ing as a substitute for the above. Resolved, That nothing has occurred to lessen our confidence in the honesty, in tegrity and patriotism of Major General Fremont. Mr. Washburn, of Dls., raised a point of order, that the substitute was not ger mane to the subject.. Mr. Stevens maintained that the original resolution imposed a censure on General Fremont. The Speaker sustained Mr. Washburne's point of order. Mr. Sedgwick, of New York, defended the Secretary of the Navy and Mr. - Morgan. Mr. Stevens said he would make good his charge that the committee have not conducted their business with fairness. They had not given notice to those whose honesty they have impugned, nor furnished them with a copy of the evidence, and when requested to issue subpoenas they had omitted to do so. Mr. Stevens then alluded to,the cases of Cummings, Saccbi, and Simon Stevens, who was no relative of his, as had been charged by Mr. Dawes, but only.an hon ored constituent, showing that the com mittee had injured all these men on bad evidence. This was not the way in which men's characters should be destroyed by the committees of this House. The com mittee complain that they are charged with lying. He had proved that their report was fraudulent. He read General Fremont's statement, and explained the reconciliation which had taken place be tween him [Stevens] and Cameron on the latter's course on the contraband question.
