When we gave place to the statements of
an eye and ear witness, who had but recently
returned from the Army of the Potomac, we
expected to become the object of attack from
the two aati-,oar papers in this city, which,
for the last few weeks, have 'hunted in cou-
ples," and been as fraternal and loving as ever
were Burns "twa dogs" In fact, the "twa
dogs" well represent these two journals-life-
long rivals and enemies, but now coy bed
fellows, both ready to scent treason in any lack
of fidelity to the nigger institution, but equal
ly ready to ogle with traitors, to denounce ev
cry act of possible efficiency on the part of
government designed to subdue rebels and re-
bellion, and to honey over and excuse the
most diabolical scheme ever concocted in the
brains of Intervals to subvert the constitution
AID to overthrow the government One of
them--the Advertiser-like Burns dog Caesar,
"Is keepit for his Honour's pleasure,"-
not to promote any great and patriotic pur-
pose 20 which ii, and his energies, are conse-
Grated, but as an engine of spite with which
to punish enemies, an instrument of conve-
nience with which to pull down rivals, or a
ladder by which to climb the difficult sleeps of
ambition; while the other-the Argus-sports
the "huge paws" and talks democratic" )" like
the other Scotch dog,
"a ploughman's collie,
Weel clad wi coat o. glossy black"
and these "twa dogs" SO loving, the one 90
high degree" the other so "sonse," and yet
both so perfectly assmilated in the atmosphere
Of doubtful loyalty
"Wi social nose whyles snuff4d and snowkit,
Whyles mice and moudiewolts thoy howkit;
Whyles scour'd in lang excursion,

ted that the great plan was to strike at all

1t was a simple impossbility that every ar

tucky and Virginia, so that as by single
click of the clock all would rush upon the
enemy at once, and crush the rebellion at a
single blow. He had it from authority, and 1t

IN the neighborhood of Romney were virtually

That a battle would have sadly broken in up
on some great plan, was quite probable. 1t
might have finished the great anEaconda, as
the newspapers have expressed it. But it
must not be forgotten that the mammoth rep
tile that was to draw within lis fylds and
crush the rebellion at a single sweep OF his

The Company declared dividend of 13 per
cent. III claims against the town of Newbern
and not in aSh--and acknowledged Bonus
in unpaid accounts, material and cash of per
cent.--one per cent only of which was made
during the past year.
The profits during the next year will not
probably be near as large as during the past,
owing to the expense CT making gas with heat
from wood instead Of coal, which makes the
services of an extra hand necessary, and also
to the probable great reductan in the amount
of gas consumed. Should the company pay a
cash dividend Of eight per cent. during the
! next year it " i'll be fully as much as can be
expected. DIRECTOR.

BURNsIDE's FLEET.-At last we have positive
intelligence of the n ovelDent of :his armada. A
courier arrived here yesterday morning we under
stand from Mai Hall in Hyde CO., stating that
40 steamers with 80 transports in tow, passed
Middle Creek East Shore of Hyde county, on
Wednesday, at 10 o'clok i. NJ. heading towards
Roanoke Island. They had ample time to arrive
at the Island Wednesday night, and, no doubt. a
battle was fought there yesterday unless they
met with some misfortune on their way. We

Such. we believe HIS been the course adopted
by our Government cabinet council was
held Yesterday, at which this very elaborate
document was considered An answer will,

ing that the precedent iii of the Trent

made by the Captain of the Santiago de Cuba
on board the British schooner Eugenia Smith.
As to the general discussion of the law into
which Mr. S. enters at much length, the
Government Will decline any answer until they
have bad an opportunity OF submitting the
whole note TO their law Officers There are
pronosfions laid down in this note which ere

Burnside AND THE EFLEET.-We have received
nothing Of interest, relative to this great wop-
der, since our last There was a report going

trace it up so az to look it full in the face and
ascertain what it looked like but failed, 1t
always presenting new phase at every corner

that, Major Hall who is in command of the
troops in Hyde County had seen some of the
enemy's vessels in the Sound some time early
this week, which makes it certain that the re-
pert that reached US through the Virginia pa
