The Great Tennessee River Expedition

Especial Correspondence ofthe Cincinnati Gazettcl
SAVANNAH, Tenn, March II.
Tie Fleet Arrires at It's FImat Destination
The greater part of the Tennessee river
expedition arrived at Savannah, Hardin
county, Tennessee, on the evening and du-
ring the night of the l lth instant AS the
sun rose over the canebrakes that line the
river banks, it disclosed such a scene as
neither that nor indeed any river on the
continent ever witnessed before For near
ly two miles up and down the stream lay
the fleet. More vessels were constantly ar
irving; the channel was filled with them,
gliding about in search of landings near
their respective brigade headquarters, and
the air was heavy with the murky smoke
from hundreds of putting chimneys
The shores were covered with the dis
embarked soldiers, eagerly rushing every
where and scrutinizing everything, with a
genuine Yankee determination to see what
ever might be worth seeing away down
here in Dixie" They early found the
canebrakes, and the number Of fishing poles
carried aboard the boats to be sent up North
and used in more peaceful times, was some
thing astonishing. Cotton fields were more
distant but long before noon plenty could
be heard describing how the fields, looked,
and exhibiting scraps of cotton and hand
tuls Of seed they had confscated as speei-
mems from the adjacent warehouses Off
GERS were galloping over the bottoms, trying
to get an idea of the country-not few
privates deemed it their duty to give the
mules little exercise by beating them in
to jog trot through the country, too.
Half a dozen regiments were brought
out on dress parade, and the delighted in
habitants of the pleasant little country town
of Savannah crowded into the streets or
peeped out behind the curtains of second sto-
windows to see the unwonted sight, and
convince their hating faith that, beyond
peradyenture, the Yankees acre there at
last to defend them in their i'll. concealed
preference for the Union cause Conspi-

Arrigat Of Wounded Soldiers from Nc,c-

A,rivat Of Wounded Soldiers from Nc,c-
bern, North Carolina.
During yesterday afternoon and evening,
says the New York Tribune of Tuesday,
a large number of the soldiers attached to
the Burnside Expedition, who were wound
ed at the battle of Newbern, arrived in
this city, about eighty four coming by way
of the Camden and Amboy railroad, and
the remainder on beard OF the steamers
Peabody and New Brunswick, direct from
NeBbern, n 9.
Upon the arrival of the Amboy steamer
at the foot of Barclay street, Col. Howe,
of Massach psetts, with Capt DeWoH, of
Gen. Burnside's staff, r. H. McCurdy,
Gen. II. Ii. Baxter, of Gov. Holbrook' s
staff, Vermont, and Col. Almy, of Connec-
ticut, received the wounded soldiers and
conveyed those who were most fatigued in
carriages to the Park Barracks The ma
iurity, however, expressed themselves abun-
dainty able to march mile or more, and
Notwithstanding the painful nature of their
wounds, they gathered up their muskets,
knapsacks and trophies, fell into the ranks
and marched up to the Park. The large
mess room in the Barracks had been pre-
pared for the reception of the wounded
soldiers, and number of our most promi-
nent surgeons were IN attendance, having
volunteered their services for the relief Of
the sufferers. '.'' So
Words can scarcely be found to depict
the scene, that ensued. In little time
nearly every man was under the hands of
the surgeons, and many wounds of an ug-
ly and sickening nature were exposed, and
after being duly examined and operated
upon, were dressed anew. A large eontri-
button of baRdages, lint, and SO forth,
made by the Ladies' Relief Union, arrived

He said he wanted a. wife right off, and
had no time to look up one for himself, but
should be in tenn in the course of a day or
two to marry the woman which he depend

Such an order rather took the merchants
aback, but the man was. too good custo-
