hsalA rs 80 ROBUST as his best fiesd could v'ish. HIS
ph rogpony is 30 very peculiar us 20 ssrsAe The most
sasusl observeras as bat OF Msn OF gre2s determine
ton actryry and sire vdness. As be ftS in his char
MS head sunkcn between his shoUaer5, and moving
irrsealaly from 5e TO Sdo no looks al the world
IKE bald-sagle watching for his ewooP-an impress
zion that bia aqglne nose tawny complexion, peculiar
eyes, and low, long head IN DO wise weaken.
Tee Genera was ohligng as To get out his charts
and show rs the route Of the expedition projected at
WASHINGTON, aud that actually followed From these
seems that the intention Of Government had been fO
the expedition 20 ake and destroy the forts at Hattorue
Ipie md then 20 about y miles up the channel TO the
west ward % spot known az the BulkheGd, aud sink
astorbos aeross the channel which is here not
than IS to 100 yards wide thus etecualy sealing up
tbe p,r, Of Ncwbern. But Gen. Butler, on reaching
The ground tbOugt the best interests Of the country
world be stryed by adopting 6ametrically die ent
soovse; 30 the forte garisOned instead Of de-
stroy Cd and the stOneboas were anchored nnder the
guns OF the forts instead Of being sunk Gtthe Bulk
head Ii he way up 70 Newbern had been blocked,
net emily would the privatees been excluded bat our
own l,,ht-drsft ves els could not have got up 10 the
pLee 70 mako an attck and Ieeapture the 50 prizes
which lie anchored hat port. BY reisniDg the W.
krrs at Bauerss We shall command the whole coast
Of North Carolina and the direct route 70 Norfolk and
establish oOaling station $50 miles nearer our block
aiding squadron than Hampton Roads.
A Circumstance has trsnspred which places the con-
duct of our prisoner Commodore Barron, in most
auooious light. Il not enough that be, an officer
of lbe U. S. Navy, who had been educated and sup
ported by Govern ent, should haSo violated his oath,
rerured bis soul aud become traitor and rebel to The
land OF HE birth. but he, naval officer, actually gave
orders that the light on Cape Hatiers should be ex-
hpgushed thus luring innocent merchant vefsels TO
aeslruclion. The ogderbook Of Major Andrews, COM
manding Fort Hateras, proves bis guilt completely
The Pawnee and Monticello were leit at HatIeras
Iole 10 Cooperate with the forts IN repelng any attack
which might be made on them from across the bay,
md she Cumberland and Wabash were ordered down
TO Beaufort Inlet 10 close up the only other important
gate into Pauleo and Albemarle Sounds.
Gen. Butler leaves for Boston az o'clock THE morn
ing to attend priya.e business and assist in forward
ing uoops, and viii pass through this city on his re-
turn within a week. lie expects TO sail for the South
ern coast in charge Of another expedition before long
bat 10 what point be does not cay.
