The rebel Congress have unanimous.
ly adopted a preamble and resolution,
setting forth that:
WHEREAS, The United States are
waging war with the avowed purpose
of compelling the Confederate States
to rcuni:e with them under the same
Constitution and Government, and
which only tends to consolidation in
one general Government and a consc-
qucnt destruction of the rights of
States and of the results attained by
separation and ,chereas, the two Sec
tions can only exist together in the re.
lation Of oppressor and oppressed, be-
cause Of the great prepondcrancc OF
power in the Northern section, cou-
pied with q dissiInilarity Of interests
therefore,
Resolved, That this Congress do sol
EMMY declare and publish to the
world the unalterablc determination OF
the Confederate States to suffer all the
calamities Of a most protractcd war
but never again to politically affiliate
with people guilty Of an invasion o
their soil and butchery of their citi

Gen. Nelson has a summary way of
dealing with vociferous rebels of the
fair sex, down in Tennessee. On one
occasion, as he was riding at the head
of his command, female seccssionist
thrust her head from the window and
screamed "Hurrah for jeff. Davis |!
Hurrah for jeff. Davis 7" This was
too much for the temper of the Gene
raj, and riding close to the fence, he
shouted, MADAM, if you repeat that
again, I'll quarter man in your house
who is covered with the small pox."
This had the desired effect, and the
idolator Of jeff. Davis retired into OBJ
security until the soldiers were out of
sight.

THE BURNSIDE EXPEDITION.
Heavy Cannonading in the Vicinity OF
Beaufort.
FORTRESS MONROE, Feb. 1 2 r.

FORTRESS MONROE. Feb. Ia r. u.
The United States bark Gemsbok arrived
here this morning from the Southern coast,
where she had been cruising for about Two
months. She reports that late yesterday al
ternoon she passed Hatteras Inlet, where
number of vessels were deserted. Continuous
and heavy cannonading was heard on Thurs
day and Friday in the direction of Beaufort
and Newbern, n c., and the officers OF the
Gemsbok think that our feet has attacked
the rebele at either or both of the last mem
toned points For upl0ards of tluO hours the
roar of heary artillery aOas distinctly heard By
the Gems60k, and aoas kept up untI The res~I
got out of bearing distance. The opinion Is
tina: our light draft gunboats led the advance
and opened the engagement, which was prob
ably followed with the land troops under
Gen. Burnside At all events, the ball is
opened and before this reaches Jour readers
we will undoubtedly have more definite Intel.
ligeuce, either from rebel sources or by the
return of one of Gen. Burnside's numerous
transports.
The bark Gemsbok is good sailor. and,
having fair winds, made the passage from Hat
teras in little over eighteen hours, beating
the propeller Eastern State by upwards OF ten
hours. The intelligence thus brought almost
directly from the seat of war has not yet be-
come generally known on the Point, as it has
been confided solely to the navy. Among that
branch of the service it has created consldera
BILE stir and excitement. By this news 1t ap
pears that the project of attacking Roanoke
Island has been abandoned and the capture
OF the rebels stronghods at Newbern and
Beau fort determined upon by that wise and
sagacious leader, Gen Burnside.
The intelligence of the reported engagement
was read to the sailors on board of the differ
eut war vessels in port after the usual morn
ing drill.
There being no flag of truce to day, we have
no later intelligence from Dixie as to the
capitulation of Savannah aud Fort Pulaski
According to the topography of North Car
olina in the vicinity of the supposed attack, 1t
is apparent that our vessels, after having reach
ed Hatteras Inlet, divided into two parties
one Of them proceeding up the Cove Sound, to
attack Fort Macon, at Beaufort in which the
blockading vessels stationed at Cape lookout
and on TOpSail Inlet undoubtedly participated.
On Newbern our feet must have proceeded up
the Neuse river, aud landed the troops there
under cover of the guns of our yeSsals.
This is theory advanced by parties who are
we'll acquainted with the country and the
stroUghold5 Of the rebels oathese above named
points.

From Fortress Monroe.
FORTRESS MoNRoB, Jan. 81.


The steamer Ericsson, from Hatteras. with
the d DEpneuI Zouaves on board, arrived here
this friday afternoon.
The Ericsson brings nothing later, except
that the Burnside Expedition was about to
move TO its destination.
The sIoop-of- war Hartford will sail on Sat
urday morning for Key West.
A prisoner OF war named Taylor, of Cincin-
natl, has arrived here by flag of truce from
Richmond. He says that Gen. Beauregard
has left for Kentucky, taking with him $4,000
men from Manassas, and that Jefferson Davis
is to take command in person of the troops at
Manassas after his Inauguration as President
on the 22d of February.
The greatest panic prevails at Norfolk and
Richmond in regard to the Burnside Expedi-
tion.
When the Ericsson left Hatteras Inlet the
weather was too rough to land the troops. and
she being unable to cross the bar, Gen. Burn
side ordered her to return to Fortress Monroe
The troops were in good health
Most of the vessels had started from the
mouth of the Inlet toward Roanoke Island
which, it was understood, would be the first
place attacked.
Mr.. Taylor of Cincinnati, who has been
prisoner at Richmond since the Battle oil
Bull Run, was yesterday released, and came by
a flag of truce via Norfolk He says that be
was accompanied by detective" to Norfolk
who was very watchful not to let him carry
any papers with him, from which fact it is sup
posed they must have contained some import
ant information.
II was understood at Richmond that Gen
Beauregard would reach there on Saturday
on his way to Kentucky.
The opinion at Richmond was that The Mer
rimac was failure.

CHARGE BAYoNETS- Charge Charge -
The Cincinnati Press says that the accounts
of the battle at Somerset, KY, concur in stat
ing that it was lhe bayonets of the bully Ger
mans from Cncinnati--the Ninth Regiment
Ohio Militia-that materially contributed to
the decisive victory. The bayonet is the cure
for rebellion. The rose water policy of play
ing at war so that nobody is hnrt, has cost
the American millions of dollars and too many
valuable lives. Now let the bayonet be freely
used along the lines of the Potomac and the
Mississippi, from Washington to New Orleans.
Let the cannon roar, grepe-shot rattle, bullets
whistle, and bayonets pierce deep, until the
gun barrels are filled with blood, as is stated
to have been the condition of the guns of the
Irish Brigade after its tremendous charge at
Fontenoy. The ferocious and successful Rus
sian General, Suwarrow, made free use of the
bayonet H said, The bullet is fool the

~At the Court of Quarter Sessions at
WiiIiamsport, Tuesday week, Joseph Shoema-
ker, James F'redericks and William Fl. Wat
son, were tried for giving Dan Hill ride on
rail, and making him carry a flag through
the streets of MuDcy last summer. Dan had
uttered treasonable language, saying that our
soldiers were served right at Bull Run aud all
ought to have been killed, and Lincoln and
Curtin shot" Judge Jordan, in his charge to
the Jury, reproved the prosecutor for his dis
loyal and traitorous language, but said it was
no justification for the assault and battery on
Hill On Wednesday morning, verdict of
guilty was returned On Thursday morning,
the defendants were sentenced to pay fine of
$50 each and the costs. On Friday the Gov
ernor granted pardon to the parties convict
ed This was undoubtedly right. The strict
letter of the law has been vindicated, and the
prosecutor, who by disloyal acts provoked this
iafraction of the law, should not alone escape
unwbipt of justice, while others less culpable
suffered the penalties.

Government has undertaken task beyond its
power. he spoke in the most friendly manner,
however, and deprecated war between Eng
