Gen. Burnside.

Ambrose Everett Burnside. who
commands the expedition that has Just
achieved the late glorious victory, was
born at Liberty, Union county, Ind,
Esd May, 1924. At the age of eighteen
years he was entered at West Point,
and was graduated fifteenth in a class
of forty-seven members, in 1s47. He
was brevetted Second Lieutenant in
the Second Artillery, and was trans
ferred the next year to the Third Artil.
lery. With this regiment he served in
the Mexican war. In lS49 he was at.
tached as First Lieutenant to Captain
(now rebel GeneraD Bragg's battery,
and was engaged for three or four
years in frontier service in New Mexi-
CO. He afterwards served as Quarter
master to the Commission which sur
veyed the boundary line between the
United States and Mexico.
Lieutenant Burnside was next sta.
toned at Fort Adams, Newport, and
while there he resigned his commission
for the purpose of devoting his atten-
ton to the manufacture of breech
loading rifle of his own invention, and
took up his residence at Bristol, r. i.
His new enterprise proving unfortunate,
he went to Chicago and entered the
Office of the Illinois Central Railroad
Company as Cashier of the Land De.
partment, while George B. (now GEN.
Mcclellan was General Superintendent,
and afterwards Vice-President of the
Company, After holding the position
of Cashier two years, Burnside was
elected Treasurer of the Company, and
removed to New York. While acting
in this capacity, soon after the outbreak
of the rebellion, he received telegraph
dispatch from Governor Sprague, mott
flying him that the First Rhode Island
Regiment of one thousand men was
raised, and asked him to take the com.
mand. In half an hour he left his of.
fee and was on his way to Providence.
The regiment was one of the first that
went to Washington, and took part in
the engagement at Stone Bridge, Colo.
mel Burnside acting as Brigadier-G Gene
raj during the battle. His conduct on
that occasion commended him to the
attention of the authorities at Wash
ington, and on the sixth of August he
was appointed Brigadier General Of
Volunteers. General Nc Clellan, who
knows his worth and military capacity
selected him to command one O
the most important expeditions projec

A FABRICATION Little Eddie, the
Drummer" is the title of a very pathetic
story going the rounds of the press
and purporting to narrate the untimely
death of a juvenile hero at the battle
of Wilson'S Greek. We are assured
by gentleman, connected with the
Iowa lst, to which regiment " Little
Eddie is said to have belonged, that
the whole story is q fabrication from
beginning to end. 1t originated with
correspondent of the Chicago ISi-
6,ae and is charmingly romantic, but
like most of the matter in that paper,
wholly devoid of truth. Ioaca State

PoRTLANp, Feb. 1.-THE steamship
Jura, which left Liverpool on Thursday,
the 3Oth, and Londonderry the 81, ar
rived here at HAS tonight.
Mason and Slidell had arrived at
Southampton. Ne popular demonstra-
ton was male. The former went to
London; the latter to Paris.
1t was rumored that the Government
had ordered the Nashville to quit
Southampton, but had extended the
time of her departure, owing to danger
from the Tuscarora. 1t was also ru.
mored that the Government will pro-
hibit armed ships of either party re-
naming twenty-four hours in any Brit
ish port.
The following is the Etna's report:
Earl Russell, in dispatch to Lord
Lyons, dated Jan. Esd, says the Eng
lish Government differs entirely from
Mr.. Stewards conclusions whether the
persons taken from the Trent and their
supposed dispatches were contraband.
1t was rumored that the vessel which
the Sumter engaged off Algiers was
the Iroquois. There was no news OF
either. 1t was reported that the Tus.
carora was about to quit Southampton.
The destination was kept secret.
The London Times, in characters
tic article, calls for something decisive
in America. 1t says unpleasant com.
plications must arise if the present
state of affairs continue much longer
Napoleon opened the French Cham
bers on the 9th. He said 2: ssThe civil
war which desolates America has
greatly compromised our commercial
interests. So long, however, as the
rights of neutrals arc respected, we
must confine ourselves to expressing
wishes for an early termination of those
dissensions.n

keep quiet and await events that are
at hand.

PARIS, Jan. 3o.-The 1Noniteur says
the dismission of Mr.. Cameron gives
England great satisfaction.
LONDON, Jan. 30.-Mason and Sill
dell have left for Paris.
MADRID, Jan. 30.-O'Donnell de-
clares that France has made no separ-
ate engagement with Spain. The
Spanish Government has no reason to
suppose that France intends settling
the affairs of Mexico, without consider
ing the wish of the other powers.

The Treasury Note Bill passed the Senate.

The ITeasury NOte BIZ passed the Senate.
The Treasury Note bill-legal ten
der included-is as nearly fixed fact
as could be desired. The Senate has
passed the House bill, with a slight
amendment in the terms of funding
these notes for bonds, and the House
will probably concur in making the bill
law. The vote in the Senate was un-
expectedly large, considering how
much has been said about opposition
to the legal tender clause.

And periis threaten the good old ship.

The call for six hundred thousand more,
The call which has sounded again and again,
Louder, more urgent than ever before.
Your message too, my own brave son,
L have read il DER and Ger,
And you were dearer to me, when done,
Than ever you were before.

When read with grief that was almost joy,

1t seems but a moment since on my breast
i Graded my first born son,
Since IN these arms you was hushed TO rest;
How quickly the years have gone
How well remember when you were child
Who shouted, and laughed. and ran;
1t seems like dream, or a fancy wild
That my little boy is now a man!
But now, in the hour of my country's need,
Assailed by deadly foe,
Can hold you backy 'fwere a traitors deed,
My darling, bid you go.
Go forth in the cause of your native land,
My heart shall not fail at the sight,
Let the thought of your mother but nerve your

In the struggle for freedom and right
l shall think of you often, my own brave son,
When thousands of miles away;
will pray for you always, my precious one
As mothers alone can pray.
And If on the battlefield far from my side,
The head that love shall lie low,
