In our first letter, we furnished you with q
list of the gunboats and mortar boats COM
prising this feet. We neglected to tell you
about the otug feet" "-.an indispensable arm
Of this service. The feet numbers thirteen
steam propellers, nearly all Of which were
built in st. Louis.
These tugs were built by order Of General
Fremont and cost from $1,000 to SIC, 900
each. Owing to their speed and Conven-
iencs In handling, they are Indispensable
to the gunboat feet In their expedition down
the Mississippi.
In fact 1t is generally conceded that the
expedition could not meve with success and
dispatch without Just such description Of
tenders. We merely mention this fact TO
show that Gen. Fremont who hss been &C.
cused Of sxpending 30 much money unnec-
essarily, was not extrsVsgsnt or squander-
ing the public moneys when be contracted
for these tugs, and the mortsr-bosts, or
RATS Il is proper to say, however, that
Gen. Fremont intended each tug to tow
two nortar-bosts. Experience, however,
has taught rs that in this respect they are
6 failure, IS Il requires one Of the largert
class Of tow boats, such ss the Wilson,
Hammet and Alps, to perform this service.

Lake SUpeffof Silver,

The Detroit Tribune says TINT by a firm Of
manufacturers Of silver ware in that city, some
$4,000 worth Of goods art turned out every
year. The silver used is principally from the
Lake Superior mines, though old, worn out
material is a1so employed, and coin was in
times gone By melted down and converted in
to spoons. The Lake Superior Silver is
brought down BY pedlers, but there is COM
paratigely 80 little found in those regions that
the trade does not assume an air Of impor-
tancc. The silver is found in the copper
mines es-principally in those belonging to the
Minnesota family''-and the companies
allow their miners to keep 1t. In one year
there were found in the Minucsota Mine IS, GOO
worth, the continual discovery Of which kept
the workmea in . pleasant state OF excite
mcnt. Pcddlers ofjewclry and Yankee notions
annually visit tue miners. Of whom they col
| lcct the rough silver, giving them their wares
| in exchange for it. The silver is thus obtain
| ed at about half Its actual worth and is
brought down here and sold to the manufac
ture1s at a handsome profit. It comes mixei
| with native copper and is separated by char
coal frs Of intense l2ss.

From the Report Of the Director Of the Mint
at Philadelphia, it is gratifying to find that Il
large amount Of the gold deposited ut the
Mint and its branches, was the product Of the
mines Of the United States. From this source
was received s334 ,2lG, $50, cut Of s116,97o,0 COZ
in gold, aud 500, oil, ont Of 81, GA 96l in sl-
yer. Much Of this domestic silver was OBJ
talnel By scparating II from the gold dcpos-
its in which it was found An increasing
quantity is yielded by the mines Of the Nashoc
region, and We are also informed that the gold
mines Of Kansas amply repay the miner for
his toll. Moreover, new and valuable silver
mines hare been discovered in the Territory
Of Arizona, about one hundred and sixty miles
from the Gulf Of California, and only few
miles from the proposed line Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. The ore and its product IN
silver, as exhibited at the Mint, encourage the
belief, Mr. Pollock reports, that "thi5 region
will soon rival, in the extent and variety Of its
mineral productions, the rich mines Of Mexi-
co, or the other silver producing sections oi
our own conntry.'' For the most part, the
coinage Of the past year consisted principally
| Of double eagles.

Herald says scarcely 4 day passes which is not
marked by the announcement Of some new
bombshell, rifle, cannon, sword, stirrupr sad

messed no long wars, nor, in all likelihood,
will it. This is owing to the discoveries Of
such means OF destroying human life as were
unknown to our forctnthers, and Of which
thcy had no conception. They are multiply

THE BURNSIDE EXPEDITION.
The Day Of Departure Drawing Near.

Especial Correspondence OF the Chicago Tribnne.] |
On BOARD STEAMER cossACK,
ANNAPOLIS HAEB0R, DAN 3, 1862.
AS day after day the reporters here increase |
thQir stock of knowledge in regard to the par |
ticu1ars and objects Of the Burnside Expcdi-
ton, the orders Of secresy from headquarters
grow more and more rigorous. The repre-
ecntatives Of the press have been assigned
comfortable quarters on board the steamer
Cossack, one Of the largest transports in the
feet, formerly running in the line between
Boston md st. Johns, n. B., and called the
Eastern City, but nov owned by the Govern.
mcnt, with name changed as above. As VIC
have all acceded to Gen. Burnsidc's last rc-
quest, am to-day able to give You only a
comparatively few items Of 4 general char
acter.
The day mentioned in my last us the day
Of departure, January 5th, is drawing near,
and the expedition will be fully ready to de-
part on that day. Whether it will, or not,
am convinced, depends on orders from Wash-
iugton.
The fleet of transports, storc~ships, as well
as the floating batteries and several Of the gun
boats for armed troop-shipsl>, are now all in
this harbor, occupying the channel Of the
Severn River, all the way from the Light House
| to point tow miles up stream. The whole
| number Of ycssels connected with the expo
dition now here, is tifty-two, OF which twenty
two are steamers and tug boats, FIVE are foat-
ing batteries, and the balance sai1ing vessels,
which will be used for store-ships, hopital-
ships, while several Of the best will be used
for carrying troops, being taken in tow
ly the steamers. You can therefore judge Of
tie formidable character Of the expedition,
rs tile vessels now here do not include q
single gun from the naval service, now
rendezyousing at Fortress Monroe. The Com
mander Of the naval squadron, Commodore
Goldsborougb, was here Oh Tuesday, c1oseted
