NEW YoRK, January 14-The TriJuns'S
Fortress Monroe letter of the 18th says that
it is the common rumor and belief that Burn
sides expedition will rendezvous at Hstterss
Inlet, and that Pamlico and Albemarle
Sounds will be the immediate fields of opera
tions. 1t is understood the force when fairly
afoat on the waters of Pamlico Sound will
address itself to Roanoke Island which is
strongly fortified and defended by from two
to three thousand men. / presume the clear
ing out of the rebels from all the sounds will
follow. II must not be supposed this is the
whole work laid out for the expedition.

General Hooker asked General Mcclellan
slaves who were within his lines at Budds
Ferry. General Mcclellan replied with an
order directing him to inquire, in each CASE
whether the fugitives had or had not been
employed in the military service of the
enemy; if be had been, General Hooker
should employ him; if not, he should ex-
elude him from his lines, thus orally
hberating him; leaving the final disposition
OF the bondmen to the civil authorities.
1t is understood that similar rule will
hereafter be applied in every case occurring
within the Army of the Potomac.

There is much doubt expressed to night
whether Mr.. Cameron will be confirmed as
Minister to Russia, but he will be, | think,
without doubt. Ben. Wade was the CHIEF
competitor urged upon the President as Sec
Tetary of War, in place of Cameron. G. NJ
Clay returns TO take command in the army
He will be appointed q Brigadier General
The appointment of Stanton as Secretary o
War gives great pleasure. They have conf.
denCe in his energy and pluck, and believe
be will push on the war.
