wholly reliable.

SIDE EXPEDITION.

ton IN. c.. Journal of Wednesday has
heard nothing of the Burnside Expedi-
ton, and thinks it singular if it left Old
Point on Saturday night as reported.

port that they heard, on Thursday, heavy
cannonading. The editor thinks they
were mistaken, as the distance from the
coast is too great.

nothing has been heard of the Burnside
Expedition since it left Old Point, and the
editor processes to be at loss to know
what may be its destination.
NEWS FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
The same paper announces that thirteen
large steamers loaded with troops, left Old
Point on Thursday, and presumes that
they are intended for another expedition
to some other point. The editor has been
hoaxed, as no steamers except two delayed
by the storm, containing the D Eqniel
Zouaves, left on that day.
The prisoners from Richmond also say
that DIP to the time they left on Friday
morning, nothing had been heard from it
there. -
The Richmond papers of Friday con-
tain nothing of the expedition.
