Tie Wilmington n. c. Journal. Of Wednesday,
save that nothing has been heard of the Burnside Ex
1editon and thinks il singular if left Old Pom, on
Saturday night as reported, that its appearance on
the coast had not up 10 that time been announced.
The Raleigh Register, of "Wednesday, says that
some gentlemen in that city say that they heard on
Tuesday evening heavy reports Of cannonading
toward the coast, but the editor thinks they Were
mistaken, as the distance is too great.
The Norfolk Day Book of Friday, says that moth
ing has been heard there of the Burnside Expedition
vince it left Old Point, and the editor processes he
at a loss to know what may be it's destination.
The same paper announces that thirteen large
steamers loaded with troops left Old Point ON Thur
day, and presumes that they intended for another
expedition to some other point.
The editor has been hoaxed, as no steamers, eK-
eept two delayed by the storm, containing the ID Ep
ineui Zouayss, left on that day.
The prisoners from Richmond also gay that mp to
tbe time they left Friday morning RI clock
nothing had been heard from il there.
The Richmond papers Of Friday contain nothing
IN relation TO the expedition.

the Pomone. Notice having been given, Il salute OF
81 guns fired this morning. and the Fortress i'm
