THE BURNSIDE ExPEDITIoN-THE TROOPS AT AN
aPoLIs-ARRIvAL OF TRANSPORTS, &c.
The correspondent of the New York Post
who will accompany the Burnside expedition
writes from Annapolis, on the 2eth ult., as
follows:
The storm has prevented much out door
progress in the outfit Of the expedition. The
baroue H. d. Brookman, Capt. Il. E. Cheney.
is the only arrival Of to-day. The naval part
of the expedition is now arriving at Old Point
comfort and Com Goldsboro, who is in COM
snand is already there. The transports with
the troops will probably sail from here to that
point on Saturday. Gen. Burnside is busily
engaged in forwarding the expedition as rapid
" as possible, but there will be no uuneceSsa-
nv haste; and when the entire fleet sails for the
point of attack it will be not only formidable
but complete
The proximity of a large number of Federal
troops has not in the least disturbed the quiet
of this place.
There has been demand for sailors for the
batteries and transports, but this deficiency is
likely to be supplied at once from New York
and Baltimore, or even from the regiments in
camp General Burnside sent to the New
York Fifty first yesterday to know how many
sailors there were in that reg iinent One hun
tred and twenty seven were the answer and
there is no doubt but that there 400 Or 800
sailors in the different regiments stationed at
this post.
