FROM NOBEOLK.s
toUR OWN coRREsfoNDIAT.l
Non1oIx, Jan. 9oth. :
tits now more than wssk sfpcs ths Burn.
side expedition sailed. from Hampton Roads,
and a. yet nothing has bssn heard from 1t e.
shsr North or South. The anxiety in the North
regarding it, safety IL BY no msans tnconsid-
cradle, and words fssbly exprs. the depth Of
hope the people have In Its safety and SUCCESS.
Up 20 this time the nswspapers have been
speaking of its destination a. II it were gen.
orally known, and out OF twenty Or twenty.
nys of the leading papsrs which l have OBJ
served, there are but one or two but posi-.
lively assert it is destined for operations ON
the Carolina coast. Indeed, the very char
acter Of the vessels would imply a. much );
for 1t is too we'll known to need repetition
that majority Of them are small, entirely
unseaworthy land not fit Tor voyage Of any
length. The day Of its sailing storm arose
which has continued to rage furiously up to
this time, with but q day or two OF even pas.
sable weather. Sometimes 1t has been very
severe. When the French frigate now In
Ham pton Roads was beyond the capes she
encountered o storm that forced her TO stand
out to sea again and in which she lost her
boats, and suffered otherwise from its effects.
Judging from this We have reason TO suppose
that Burnside's fleet has been scattered, ii
not destroy ed, and that that is the reason OF
It's nor. appearance on our coast.
The Providence Journal, whose editor,
Henry b. Anthony 10 q senator from Rhode
Island, says that now the expedition has
sailed, and has had time to- reach the point
for which it sailed, there is NO reason why
one should not guess it,, destination, and
then goes on TO say, that it is intended to
~ n AlhNm arle Sounds. through
which 20 large por ton OF The coast OF n Orth
Carolina can be reached. II also says, "the
nature of the flotilla is such, as we all know,
that 1t would NOT DO safe TO send 1t around
Cape Hattsras, exposed, as it would be, To
the neavy gales which prevail there during
the winter moDths." All the New York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore journals concur
in this opinion, and, as said IN a letter some
days ago, am Inclined to believe that the
original destination was to operate in the
creeks and inlets on the coast OF North Caro-.
lima.
"A rumor prevailed here yesterday that the
vessels ad Deen seen at Hatteras Inlet, seem.
ingly preparing To enter the Sound, but this
was contradictod by dispatch, which said
there were no vesseis, beyond the usual mum.
Der, in sight upon the coast Ii not broken
up by the furious storm, it seems hardly
probable many more days- can pass without
hearing something from this last and despe-
rate attempt ON the part OF the Yankees to
make money in the armada business
Saturday evening a nag OF truce was seen
coming II ON Fort. IS Monroe toward Craney
Island which kept on her course until stop
ped by gun from the Island to warn her
That the limits had been passed. The steam
er cast anchor near the buoy by Seweils
Point, and was Communicated with by the
barge from the Island. The following pas

The Fair for the benefit OF the 5Gth Vir-

was, l believe, quite a success. The Hall
was very tastefully arranged, with two ia
bles on each side, and a p. o. at one end.
The tables, which were loaded with good
things or fancy articles, contributed by the
ladies Of Norfolk, we're trimmed beautifully,
