Sir, give me leave to say, that the moment
they (Mason and SlidelD stepped upon the
deck of a British man of war, your prisoners
of state, whom the other day you would have
consigned to felon's cells, became indeed the
cnvoys and ambassadors of a recognized indc-
pendant State, and predict here to day, in
spite of this deep national humiliation, or
rather perhaps, because of it, and in spite, too
OF the surrender without protest; of the Monroe
doctrine, for forty years the cherished and
proud policy of this Government, in less than
three months you will be at war with Great
Britain, or else, in the meantime, will have
basely submitted to the recognition of the
Confederate States, and the breaking up of
the blockade; and if at war then, with hearts
unstrung and hands unncrved by this very
surrender
Courage! courage. courage sir, is the
best and first OF pcaccmakcrs. | know well,
of course, sir, tn lat like all other similar pre-
dictions for some years past, in regard to our
affairs, you will treat this one also with scott

it on record here to-day. "Thc prudent man

LYNcnBURG, VA, January I5.-The train
just in on the Virginia and East Tennessee
Railroad, brings the news of a battle which
occurred Yesterday, few miles beyond Pre-
tonsburg, Ky, between $500 of our troops,
under Gen. HUMPHREY Marshall, and 5000 Of
the enemy. Marshalrs force was rctrcating at
the time it was attacked. The enemy came
upon our men in narrow gorge, and the en-

most desperate of the war. Col. Moore's regi-

GEN BEN M'CULLoCu.

We extract the following paragraph from
the Nashville Banner of the 9TH inst
Our dispatches from Richmond frequently
make mention of General Ben McCulloch as
being still in that city. BY thus placing him
self, or allowing himself to be placed, in an
equvocal position Gen. McCulloch is doing
serious injury to his fine and mcrited rcputa-
tion as gallant soldier. The West and his
men call upon him. There should he be found.
The gay saloons and drawing rooms of bril-
liant capital are not the places for a ranger
when the camp is stir with the triumph of
war and his men arc eager for his presence
Gen. McCulloch should take better care of his
fair good name.

Notes Of the War.

ARRIVAL OF TIE BURNSIDE EXPEDITION IN PAM
LICo SOUND.
From the Norfolk Day Book, of last week,
we copy the following:
Information reached this city last evening
to the effect that Federal feet had made it's
appearance in Pamico Sound.
The fleet consists of2O gun boats, drawing
from five to six feet of water, and carrying
some of them, five guns.
They were first discovered by Capt. Hunter,
who, while rcconnoitcrng was shot at by them.
On his return to the island he reported the
fact, and our forces proceeded at once to place
themselves in state of readiness for an at
tack.
This is supposed to bca portion of the Burn
side expedition, and it is thought, by some,
that its object is to prepare for an attack upon
Norfolk from the rear. However this NAV be-
one thing is certain, and that is, that should
this be their programme, they will find it
hard road to travel before they get to the end
of it.

SNOW AND sLEET-AN ADVANCE OF THE ENE-
MY STILL EXPECTED THE NORTHERN
TROOPS MOVING TO oUTFLANK zoKLIcoFrER.
ETC, ETC.
NASHVILLE, January l4.-Yestcrday eve
nlng heavy storm of snow and sleet began
falling here. 1t is reported from Bowling
Green that our Generals still expect an advance
OF the enemy, but it is thought that the late
rains have retarded the movement At ac-
counts 5000 of the Northern troops had cross
ed Green River at Munfordsvillc, and were en-
campcd at Rowett's Station, four miles from
the Bridge. On the 7th instant, heavy en-
bankmcnts were thrown up on the Louisville
and Nashville Turnpike, near Woodsonvillc.
Dispatches have just been received that q
large force of the enemy are marching on
Burkesville, with the design of outflankine the
force of Gen Zoicoffcr. This is regarded as
reliable. Much anxiety is felt here for the
safety of Zollicohers command.
OUR SICK SoLDIERs.-Wc are informed that
mnch Inconvenience and even distress are
caused 10y the occasional failure of captains of
companies to give their men when they leave
for hospitals a descriptive list whereby not on
ly the identity ofthc soldier may be established,
but the period of his last payment, so that
when he is discharged from the hospital. he
VIII have no difficulty in procuring the amount
to which he may be entitled AS it is, soldiers
sent to hospitals at remote points from their
regiments, often find themselves, upon their
discharge, IN strange place, without friends
or money and without the means of obtaining
any. The lot of the private soldier is hard
enough in all conscience, without entailing up
on 1t the evils arising from neglect of duty in
his supcriors. 1t is enough to make the heart
bleed to meet the pale, wan faces which we
encounter of supplemented and honest-heart-
ed men. who, animated only by love of their
country, have rushed to her defense without
thought or care for pay, promotion or renowp.
and whose miserable monthly stipend will
hardly pay for pair Of boots. But small as
the sum is, it is too bad that even that mscra-
bic plttancc is often out of the soldiers reach,
at time when he most needs it, merely be-
cause the captain Of his company has omitted
simple formula which can cost him little time
and trouble, and which, if it did, it is his duty
to makc.-RichmonM Dispatch, 1OM inst.

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Tribune has the
following:
A gentleman just arrived from North Caro-.
lima, and who was passenger on the Oriental,
gives the following interesting items of news in
that State:
Gen. Burnside has seized all the Commission
ers Of the town of Edenton, North Carolina, I.
j. Bland. "a. J. Glover, II. A. Bond, and F. l..
Roberts, and taken them to his headquarters at
Newborn. The fifth Commissioner not ar
rested, being confined to his bed by sickness.
They are held as hostages for the safe return OF
Mr.. White. a Union pilot, who was seized by the
COnle1erates, while on visit to his wife at Eden
ton.
Il is alleged that these commissioners con
nived at Mr.. Whites arrest, though they stoutly
deny any completely with the matter and insist
they had no power to prevent il.
Burnside intends To send one of the commits
soneis to Raleigh, whittier Mr.. White has been
conveyed, to demand his release.
The Confederates threaten to haLg Mr.. White
and General Burnside intends that all the com
missiOners shall swing for il in the Coniede-
rates execute their threat. They were taken to
Newborn in the steamer Ocean Wave in charge
of gajor Jardine aud guard from his regiment

BALTIMORE, May 24.-The following is taken
from the Americans Fortress Monroe cores
pondence.
There is but little change in the condition of af-
fairs at Norfolk The Mayor and members OF
the City Council still refuse to take the oath of
allegiance. Gen. Wool had an interview with
them yesterday but they continued in the suks,
so that he now refuses all intercourse with the
people of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Even the
little business they have been doing in the way OF
strawberries and peas is now stopped.
Gen. Wool sent up proclamation to Norfolk
this morning notifying the people that the matter
was entirely in their own hands; so soon as they
would acknowledge the supremacy of the Gov
eminent, they would enjoy its fostering aid; but
while they remained in their present rebellion
they would be cut off from all the advantages OF
trade and commerce, and the city will be govern
ed by strict martial law.
Gen. Wool also assures them that no contin.
gency or possibility exists whereby Norfolk will
again be given up to the control of the rebel
Government, and that those who entertain Union
sentiments can give expression to them with am
pie assurance of protection of all their rights
citizens of the United States.
Most OF the stores are now open, AMI the sale
of such goods they have is progressing.
As far as can be ascertained no one is now will
ling to receive Confederate notes at par. Bust
banks and other chartered corporations. Gov
eminent notes are received with great avidity.
The Union men of Norfolk still hold back
afraid TO express sentiments openly in defiance oil
the rebellious spirit around them.
Quite an enthusiastic meeting was held al
Portsmouth on Thursday night, not less thar
eight hundred being present, including many
Union men from Norfolk.
The course Of the Government in refusing to
allow provisions to come there for loyal people
was severely criticised, and the propriety of such
course by no means approved.
The scarcity of provisions and necessaries o.
life are so great and prices so high that the poor
er classes have to live almost entirely on fish anC
oysters. The secessionists are nearly all wealthy
people who can stand high prices and have laid il
their stocks long since.
There is no doubtthat the decision of Genera
Wool is leading to great suffering TO the poorer
classes. They have suffered beyond all endn
rance for year.
1t was reported at Norfolk yesterday that Gen
Burnside had taken Weldon.

FORTRESS MONROE. May 23-The Baltimore
American has the following special dispatch:
1t is estimeted that there are now at Norfolk
and Portsmouth not less than one thousand de
serters from the force with which Gen. Huger
left Norfolk. Those who have come in, and are
still arriving in squads of tens and twenties, did
not succeed in escaping until after they reached
Petersburg. They are in a most deplorable con-
dition. party who came in to-day say there
must be nearly one thousand more scattered
through the woods behind them, all willing to
take the oath of allegiance, and appear most
happy to have escaped from the rebel army.
The Minnesota will proceed to Norfolk to-
morrow morning. and the whole feet will have
abandoned Old Point, and taken up position at
the old naval station.
The walls of the navy yard buildings are in a
solid condition. and can soon be put in order
again. The machinery taken out of the
buildings before they were fired, and packed up
with the intention of being removed, but the
rapid action of General Wool prevented the re-
moval.
Numerous wrecks sunk in the harbor and
river by the rebels are all to be removed forth
with. including the wrecked Merrimac. A large
number of fuses and shells were obtained from
the latter yesterday.

FROM Beauregard's Army.

A gentleman who left Memphis eight or ten
days ago, informs us that there is no question oil
Beauregard making a deter mined stand al
Corinth. Our informant does not know what his
force is, but the Southern men in Memphis seem
ed to be confident that his force was sufficient to
engage the enemy successfully whenever at
tack was made. He saw Price and Van Dorn's
command when it arrived in that city; and il
amounted to $4,000 men, according to his in
formation. These men were ragged and worn
down with this arduous campaign in Arkansas
but he says they were furnished with new outfits
aud better arms. Price was idolized by his SOL
diers. and has a place in the heart Of the South
ern people second to none.
This gentleman tells US that the reports of the
Generalization and sickness in the Confederate
army are not reliable. He thinks that the army
at Corinth is quite healthy and that it will make
a bold and vigorous defense of that place. He
was not at Corinth, however. and it is not likely
that Beauregard would permit unfavorable news
of his condition to be known outside of his lines.
