From Burnside's Expedition.

FORTRESS MONROE, February 24.-The
steamer Baltimore, which left here several
days ago with ammunition for Burnside's
expedition, returned from Hatteras about
IL o'clock today, having lett there yester-
day afternoon.
The news by the Baltimore is not of
special interest.
The burning of Winton by the Federal
forces, is confirmed.
The N NTH New York had made an ex-
petition up the Chowan river, with three
gunboats, but having found the enemy in
full force, returned without making an at
tack.
Among the passengers by the Baltimore
is Charles Henry Foster, who was reported
killed at Winton, by Southern papers.
The election ordered by the provisional
Governor OF North Carolina, took place
on Saturday, resulting, as far as the returns
have been received in the re. election of Mr..
Foster to Congress. The ordinances OF the
Convention were also ratified
The object of the expedition of the New
York Ninth, was to destroy the Railroad
bridges on the Blackwater and Chowan
rivers. The enemy were in force at Wins
ton, and no landing could be made. They
fred at our gunboats and in retaliation the
town was shelled.
The greater part of the Burnside expe.
dition was still at Roanoke Island, and
General Williams brigade at Hatteras, had
received orders to proceed there.
The S. r. Spaulding left Roanoke on
Saturday, for Elizabeth City with the pris,
oners taken by 4 eneral Burnside. They
were paroled for exchange.
The laying of the Geographic cable was
progressing satisfactorily at last accounts.

ORDER OF GEN. HALLECK,
ST. LOUIS, Feb 23--The following gen,
eral order will be published tomorrow
HEAD QUARTERS, DEPARTMENT MISSOURI,
ST. LOUIS, Feb. %.

HEAD QUARTERS, DEPARTMENT MISSOURI,
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. %.
The Major General commanding this
Department desires to impress upon all eff
GERS the Importance of the preservation of
good order and discipline among their troops
in the armies of the West advancing into
Tennessee ana other southern States.
Let US show our fellow citizens of those
States that we came merely to crush out
rebellion and restore them peace and the
benefits of the Constitution and the Union,
of which they have. been deprived by selfish
and unpripcipled leaders.
They have been told that we came to OPP
press and plumber. By our acts we will
undeceive them.
We will show them that we come to re-
store and not to violate the Constitution
and laws. Under the flag of the Union we
will assure them that they shall enjoy, un-
der its folds, the same protection OF lie and
property as in former days.
Soldiers Let no excuses on your part
tarnish the glory of our arms.
Orders heretofore issued in this Depart
ment in regard to pillaging, maraudng and
destruction of private property and stealing,
and concealment of slaves, must be strictly
enforced.
1t does not belong to the military to de,
eide upon the relation OF master and slave.
Such questions must be settled by civil
courts. No fugitive slave will therefore be
admitted within our lines or camps, except
when expressly ordered by the General
Commanding.i
Women and children, merchants, farmers,
mechanics and all persons not in arms are
regarded as non contestants and are not to
be molested either in their persons or pro-
perty.
Ii, however, they aid and assist the enc.
my they become beligerents, and will be
treated as such. If they violate the laws
of war they will be made to suffer the
penalties of such violation.
Military stores or public property of the
enemy must be surrendered, and any at.
tempt to conceal such property by fraudu.
lent transfers or otherwise, will be punished,
but no private property will be touched
unless by order of the General command
ing.
Whenever it becomes necessary to levy
forced contributions for the supplies and
sustenance of our troops, such leves will
be made as light as possible and be SO dis.
tributed as to produce no distress amoSg
the people. All property so taken must be
receipted and duly accounted for, as here.
| tOfore directed.
These orders will be read at the head of
every regiment, and all officers are COM
manded to strictly enforce them.
! BY command of
MAI. GEN. HALLECK,
| N. II. MCLEAN, Assistant Maj. General.
