Last week, fugiives from Virginia arrived
daily, and placed themselves under the protec.
ton Of the Government. On Saturday evening
two young harylanders- from Howard, the
other from Montgomery oounty-arrived. Both
had escaped from the enemy's lines, beyond

THE BURNSIDE ExPEDIrION.-The Baltimore

THE BURNSIDE EXPEDITION Baltimore
Pdtriot Of last evening says:
I've learn by the boat which arrived this
morning from Old Point, that the Burnside ex.
pedition sailed yesterday from Hampton Roads
its destination being, as is ssupposed, Pamlico
Sound, so NJ to operate against Norfolk in the
rear"
The departure Of this expedition, outside Of
the cspes of Virginia, puts an end to the hith'
erto currently received speculation, that it was
intended to operate on the flank Of General
Beauregard, by striking up the Rsppshannock
or York rivers. That speculation is now sue
ceeded, as it seems, by the new one, mot sc
plausibls,) that it is intended to operate upon
the rear Of Norfolk, which (until uow) has moi
been regarded as an important strategetic
point.

The Supreme Judgeship.

We give place today to a communica-
tion urging the name Of WIN. II. SNEED,
Esq, of Knoxville, as candidate for Su-
preme Judge. We have no disposition to
interfere editorially in any of the Judi
cial Elections-dont think it would be
proper to do so-but as a paragraph of
ours, printed few weeks ago, may have
prejudiced Col. Sneed in the minds OF
some of our readers, it is but right to
state that he was among the earliest
friends of the Southern cause, and, as the
communication referred to remarks, has
been liberal in devoting his time, talents,
and money, to its promotion. A regard
for even-handed justice between man and
man, which we hope we shall always che
IRISH, requires we should say so much.
By reference to another column, it will
be seen that Judge r. j. MCKINNEY, the
present worthy incumbent, is a candidat,
for reelection.

From New Orleans.

The Delta of Wednesday evening is ex-
clusively devoted to local intelligence
We copy:
Fort ST. 'PHILIP.-Our paragraph refer
ring to the conduct of the garrison of the
forts below the city, who mutinied and
refused to continue the fight, though not
intended for the command at Fort st.
Philip, might be considered as applying
to that garrison. We take great pleasure
in correcting such an impression. Fort
st. Philip was under the command of
Captain Squires, and the whole garrison
remained true and faithful to the last,
not the slightest manifestation OF a mu-
tinous spirit being exhibited by them
This completes the honorable military
record of this heroic garrison.
ET~ U. s. officers, who have come
ashore on business, have been subjected to
insults by rabbles of boys and thoughtless
persons. This is very reprehensible- and
ought to be prevented. We think Capt.
| Farragut takes very erroneous views Of
his duties, when he sends officers ashore,
on any mission, without asking of the
Mayor the protection of police escort Oh
supplying such escort himself. He as
sumes that the city authorities are respon.
sible for such tumultuary violence. and
that he would have the right to punish
the city for the violence of o few rockies.
persons.
1t would almost seem that the United
States commander sought pretext fol
inhcting unnecessary and wanton wrong
and injury on the city. He claims tina
the city is in the occupation of the Un;tec
States, and yet keeps his whole force or
his ships, and neglects to send ashore any
troops to protect, guard and enforce hi
authority. This is all wrong. If officers
come ashore, in the presen. condition o
affairs, the police authorities ought to b,
notified, and requested to secure then
protection and escort Such course
would prevent the exciting and discredit

From New Orleans.

Richmond, May 3.-Authentic informa-
ton has been received here from New
Orleans by telegraph to the effect that
the troops ut Fort jackson mutinied and
spiked the guns of the Fort, when Gen.
Duncan surrendered. The Louisiana"
was at Fort St. Phillip, and was unmana-
geable. She received broadside about
thirty. feet off without injury and was
then blowed up by her commander, Mr..
Mcintosh, who had an arm and leg blown
off. About thirteen Of the enemy s steam
ers came up before the surrender of the
Forts. Among them the Brooklyn"
and three others of her class. The enc.
my are believed to be in full possession
of the city.
The French Commander of the "Mii-
tdlre" gave the notice required, sixty DAYS
before the bombardment to remove the
French citizens. This was before the sur.
render of the city.
There is quite a great excitement
among the people, who are fully loyal.
All the Cotton and Shipping in the city
and at Baton Rouge were burnt. About
thirty-two thousand bales of the former
was destroyed.
Richmond, May Ain proclamation,
Gov. Letcher announces that the amend
ed constitution of the State of Virginia

Richmond, May 3.-In Bath county,

heavily loaded with provisions ard stores,
stolen by marauding party of Yankees
also 80 horses. Six Yankees were kill
ed, and seven wounded, and eight cap
tured. The rest dispersed and escaped.
1t is stated positively that the Yam

ginia and Stone Wall Jackson in pur-
suit Of them. They have been in Staun-

Secession NEWSPAPERS.

A dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer,
from Washington, dated the 2Sd, states
the position of the Republican caucus,
held on that evening, at which a select
committee from the House was appoint
ed
"The said committee are to report a
new bill providing for confscatIng the
slaves and property of all persons actual
ly in arms against our Government, or
officially connected with the bogus rebel
government The provisions are also to
include the conductors ofsecession news
papers. The bill will also provide that
none Of the parties shall hereafter hold
any Office Of trust, honor or profit under
the government of the United States"
"The conductors of secession newspa-
pers" are in bad box--their property
cenfscated, and hereafter to be debarred
from holding any Office of trust, honor
or profit under the government of the
United States! This is perfectly awful,
and we hope that secession editors will
take notice and govern themselves ac.
cordingly.

Yorktown and Norfolk.

The Richmond Examiner of Monday
contains the following:
Dispatches were received in the city
last night stating that the enemy's gun
boats had assembled the York river, pas
sing with success the shore battery at
Gloucester Point, and had appeared at
West Point, which is the head of naviga-
ton on the York, and about thirty-five
miles distant from this city.
One Of the gunboats fred at the last
train which left West Point. We had
three or four Confederate gunboats build
ing here, which were destroyed.
Our forces on the Peninsula are falling
back in the direction of Williamsburg.
/ Mcclellan is reported to be retiring.
1t is understood that the evacuation oil
Norfolk by our troops was commenced
yesterday. This step involves the de
struction of the Navy Yard and the like

! forces of Mcclellan and Burnside.
Richmond, May 6.-OGicial letters from

Soldiers of Shiloh end Elkhorn-We are
about to meet once more in shock of bat
tie the invaders of our soil, the despoilers
of our homes, and the disturbers of our
family ties, face to face. We are to de-
eide whether we are to befreemen or vile
slaves to those who are free only in name,
and who but yesterday were vanquished,
although in largely superior numbers, in
their own encampments, on the ever me-
morable field of Shiloh.
Let the impending battle decide their
fate, and add one more illustrious page to
the history of our revolution; one to
which our children will point with pride,
when they say they were in the battle of
Corinth.
congratulate you ON your timely Juno
ton with your mingled banners for the
fist time during this war. We shallmeet
our foe in a strength that should give us
victory. Soldiers, can the result be doubts
full? Shall we not drive back into Ten

lected for our subjugation? One more
manly effort, and, trusting in God, and
the justice of our cause, we shall recover

by those of the army in Virginia on the
historic battlefield of Yorktown.

Gen. I,eadbetter.

Reports are being circulated damaging
to the reputation of this officer, now in
command of the military post at Chatta-
nooga. We shall not believe a word OF
them until they are received through less
questionable sources. So far from being
addicted 10 drunkenness. Gen. Leadbet-
ter has the character of being temperate
even to abstemiousness. The public is a
great, big asinine monster, that never
stops to investigate or think.lavish OF
censure, but never capable OF doing jus.
tice where results turn up contrary to its
expectations and desires. We know moth
ing of the affair at Bridgeport; but we do
know that if the carpers and panic MAX

in their hands, our military commanders
would be better able to meet and repel

through which passes the turnpike lead.

be fanked, and the Federals will not
probably venture to pass him. in order to
advance on staunton. Heis within reach
of reinforcements.

that it may not be well to publish. our

The Emancipation Policy.

Lincoln's emancipation scheme is to
free the niggers at so much head-in
the District of Columbia the law recently
enacted fixes it at S250--and then tax
their former owners to raise the money to
pay for them. If they are ever paid for
at all, the money must be raised by taxa
ton. What beautiful plan! How wor-
thy the genius and philanthrophy of a
Seward! The owner of the property is
first deprived of it at half its value, and
then he and his posterity are to be taxed
to pay the half valuation. But it does
not stop there---his non-siaveholding
neighbor, che poor man." who never
owned niger, and perhaps never want.
ed to, he and his posterty, too, must be
taxed, taxed till they groan and sweat, tc
pay in part for the property of which hi.
rich neighbor shall DO despoiled! Now
amt that a beautiful scheme! Oh, We East
| Tennesseeans, who are following the lead
of Bill Seward and Andy Johnson-ye
blind guides, who ''strain at gate and
swallow a saw-miH," hadn't you better
| halt and look around before venturing
much further! The revolution now afoot
is nothing compared to that which will
inevitably follow the Inauguration of Mr..
Lincoln's emancipation scheme in the
border slave States.
