FuRTHER FROM THE BURNSIDE Ex.
PEDITION.

PEDITION.
Mr.. james L. As2ril and Mr.. Akers, officers
Of the steamer Louisiana, furnish the American
with the following details:
The Pocahontas went ashore on Saturday
night week, ten miles north Of Hatteras Be.
fore she went Ashore, her wheel chain broke,
and her boilers were rolled OF their lega The
engineer managed to keep steam up uutil she
was beached, about twenty yards from shore.
The crew landed, carrying . large hawser
ashore, which they made fast 10 the beach.
The crew and soldiers on board in charge Of
the horses numbered eighty men. Those left
on board escaped to the shore BY the hawser.
Some Of the horses had been previously thrown
overheard to tighten the boat In three quar-.
tsrs Of an hour Afterwards, The boat broke into
three pieces and foated ashore. 10 the after
cabin, when 1t came ashore, one Of the horses
was found quietly eating hay. Of the ninety
horses ON board, only twelve came Ashore alive.
The men built large fires on the beach, and the
light from them was probably taken by the
rebels for the burning OF steamer. Tho crew
afterwards made their way 10 the village at
Big Kinnekeeth, where they were succored BY
the inhabitants, and afterwards came down the
sound to Hatterss.
The Louisiana went ashore on Tuesday
night the l4th, on the inner bar, al datteraS
Inlet. Her position was not considered dan.
gerous. Captain William b. Phillips was ex-
erting himself to get her sdoat, and from the
able manner in which be handled her during
the storm, It was believed would succeed.
The barque Voltigeur was ashore inside Hat.
teras Inlet. All her cargo was safe, but the
vessel would not probably be got of.
The gunboat Zouavc, Q purchased vessel
bileed on the 18th, inside the inlet, and sunk
on the bar. All her guns aud stores were
taken of.
The steamship Suwsnee was ashore inside
| the bar, but would be got of.
From other sources We learn the following
After the first storm It was discovered thai
instead Of vessels drawing eight and bali
feet being able 10 60 over the "swash," Of
bar, q General Burnside had been informed
no vessel drawing over seven feet three inche.
could pass into Psmlico Sound, and no vessel
could pass over the outside bar drawing over
thirteen feet, unless skilfully piloted; conse
quently the steamer City Of New York strucl
On the Outside bar and was totally lost. She
was loaded with powder, rifles, bombs, &c.
valued at 100000. The captain and crew
after bravely remaining in the rigging for forty
hours, were saved.

formidable enemy on our flank !" and adds that
" We must get rid Of Prices Nissouriaps before
we can hope to make the advance through
Columbus" This becomes very melancholy
view Of the case, in connection with another
statement Of the some writer, that an advance
IT Sufficient magnitude to dislodge Price can
not he made, on account Of the Lack OF forage,

.. these are entertained in military circles st
s.. Louis, We mustlook for any relief which shall
be sessonable, to other quarters.
This New York World correspondent de-
scribes region between the south line Of Mis-
souri, and the Arkansas river, "the Boston
Mountains - 20 called,) - affording Gen. Price
u secure place Of refuge. We doubt II any
oart Of Arkansas will remain secure for rebels,
after the operations under Gen. Lane, which
the Administration hes directed to be made.
Or Gen. Price, this correspondent says:
Con. Price has, by his une1ampled cam.
ps,gn in Missouri, earned his title to the rspu'
plished more with the means allotted TO him
Than any other general on either side OF tnis
war. Without treasury to draw upon; with
vi arms, tents, wagons, powder, or ammunl.
lion except such rs he could capture or extern.
p0rize; without commissariat, an ordnance
bureau. or even the cooperation OF an efficient
Government; with none of the accessories Of
wealth. pomp, and luxury OF the profession OF
war, he has subsisted an army Tor eight
noulhs, fought three great battles with credit
70 himself and hiO army, captured one OF our
yosts, with numerous prisoners, war materials
and storss. Something must be due to the
personal influence and sound judgment OF y
man who. called from civil life, has been able
10 gather around him an army Of men, wanting
aven the support Of the State government
wanting, in great part, the example and con
junction of their more cavalier brethren OF the
south. Their devotion to the man and to the
.auss Of rebellion We have reason to acknowl
edge with proper respect. Price has PROVED
nave been Immediately opposed to him."
II is not impossible that Gen. Price has sue
c.eded, not In spite Of, but in consequence Of
The very needs and wants which this writel
describes. Ii he had had commissariat,
''an ordnance bureau" the " cooperation" o
. rich Government with its retinue Of con
tractors interested in making delays and hav
