Interesting from Gen. sigers Camp.

BY the kindness and courtesy of friend,
we are enabled to give the following interes.
ting extract from a letter of an officer in Gen.
Sigers command to his wife:
"To-day invited General Sigel to call on
us This camp is nearly two miles of) He
said he would be pleased to do so and help
instruct us to drill. So, promptly at 2 P. M,
the General came over. He put US through
the fighting programme for over two hours
Last night we received the papers containing
the New York meeting in favor Of General
Sigel. and Others had almost shout over
it, for Sigel is beloved by all. ave fight
nit SigelW In conversation with me, he
expressed great regret that any meeting, pure
" German, should take action; that he was
an American in feeling: that they had not
used him well over there--meaniug in his
tather-land-but here he had found sympathy
and more promotion than he had earned, etc.
proposed in the evening, to our officers, that
we pay the General visit, and assure him Of
orr good will. 1t took. Some twenty Of us
taking our band, marched over. After tune
before his teat, he invited US in, but was
tbunderstruck to find our numbers. We
crammed his large tent full. He undertook
to speak but his heart was too full. Finally
he got at it, and delivered ret and affecting
address, compimen'ing our regiment and of.
fcers, full of patriotism, such as wish more
of our members Of Congress felt. replied
as well as l could on behs'f of our officers
and the regiment. We lef, the Gen.
eral with a unanimous feeling that a better

Frcm thsNorsolk Day Book
The Burnside Expedition.

One week ago to-day we nsds use Of the
following language, which our readers will
perceive has been verified almost to the very
letter:
awe can tell them now for their comfort
that few of their old hulks are at Hatteras,
but in such a crippled cood ton as to be un-
able to make movement, or even to 60 bsck
home. Their grand army that embarked on
board Of the fleet is mostly in the bosom Of
the deep ocean buried or safely into Davy
Jones's locker"
We publish elsewhere an account OF The
disaster to this expedition from Nor, bern
paper, in which they have labored with their
usual skill to put the best phase on this mat
ter. We have in our possessos much other
information from the same source, which We
are unable to crowd in to-day.
Gen. Burnside throws the blame on the con-
tractors for the failure Of the expeditiou.-
These are bis words, as credited to him By
letter writer from Hatteras: 'The contractors
have ruined me-" We have no room for com
ment, but can assure the General he should not
censure his friends. the contractors about this
little matter, for il il had not been for them
he would never have ventured on this expedi-
ton. They prompted it for their own aggra-
dizemcnt, and used his ambition "a a means
to carry it out. Let him blame his own fool
hardness rather. If he ever gets back to his
own native land alive it viii, be much more
han we expect.
We also publish the Southern account of
this expedition, s obtained from an escaped
Yankee. He represents the thing in its true
colors, we expect. He says they have lost
eighteen vessels, and from one Of them 800 Of
the 500 souls on boar were destroyed.
We are satisfied, as we said several days
ago, that the backbone of this expedition to do
US harm. They will be forced to remain thero
to recuperate, which will give US ample time
to prepare for them. All we have to do now
is to hasten up our preparation. We are
doubtful Of their being able again to prepare
bnt if they should, we have ample time to
prepare for them.
We congratulate our readers, in North Car.
olina particularly, on the breaking down Of this
marauding expedition. and we believe firmly
that its failure will greatly teud to the stop
page of this war.
