War News,

ES Tie news the past week, like that
for many weeks, has given us many de-
tails OF the preparations to do, rather
than report of the doing. Still we gladly
accept the cheering signs Of progress.
Gen. BURNsIDE's expedition has been
heard from at Hatteras Inlet, where it
arrived after meeting with terrible storm
and much disaster. The expedition con-
sisted Of over 1875 vessels of all classes,
three of which were lost-onc, the Stea-
mer New York, Lad a cargo Of powder,
rifles and bombs, valued at 100000,
and is a total loss. The Gunboat Zouaye
is also total loss. The Steamer Poca-
hontas, with go horses of the Rhode
Island battery, was totally wrecked, with
all the horses. The crews were saved
Colonel ALLEN and Surgeon WALKER, oil
the 9th New Jersey regiment, were
drowned by the swapping Of boat.
One other life sums up the total of those
lost Several vessels were also aground
and it was found that the draft Of LARGE
number was too great 10 cross the bar into
the Sound. Gen. BURNSIDE, however,
has been indefatigable in his efforts 10
get his vessels across, and has succeeded
with most Of them. The movements oil
the expedition will he retarded only a
few days. The force numbers about
10000 men, and will operate, it is sup
posed, in North Carolina.
The number of troops being forward
ed to Cairo now is very great. At leas,
$1,000 or 10000 are al present in that
vicinity, and numbers are arriving daily.
Quite column are al Smithland, at the
mouth of the Cumberland River. Nor
tars and shells are also arriving for the
fleet. 1t cannot be long before the ex-
petition will at least be ready to do some
thing.
Gen. HUNTER, commander Of the De
partment or Kansas, has issued an order
announcing that he has himself deter
mined TO con, naand the movement south.
ward from that point, which will
take the command away from LANE.
This, however, is said TO be in concur
renee with LANE. between whom and
HUNTER there is reported good feeling
and perfect understanding. The Chica-
60 Tribune says that LANE expressed a
desire TO be relieved from the thousand
and one details and vexations Of the sen.
Tor Office, in order to devote himself more
wholly to his command. 1t seems, there
fore, that LANE will simply have com
mand Of column Of the expedition.
A division, under command OF Gen
DAVIS, of Missouri, has recently left OF
terville, for the purpose, it is supposed,
of operating with the column moving
from Rolla.
The Richmond Dispatch puts the loss
OF the rebels, in the Somerset battle, at
500 killed.
1t seems quite positive that Gen. sHER-
MAN has started an expedition against
Savannah. The inaction of the Port
Royal army and navy will now probably
be retrieved.
The latest advices from Europe are
prolific in rumors Of IN intended recop-
milton Of the Southern Confederacy by
England. France and Spain.

A Battle Between Jackson and
Shields.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Advices received
ut the War Department state that Jack son s
army attacked Shds' advance, on Monday
morning near Port Republic. The conflict
is said to have been maintained for four
hours, by about two thousand of our men
against the main body Of Jackson's army
The enemy's force became so overwhelming
in numbers that our advance was compelled
to fall back, which it did in good order, until
it met the main body of Shields command,
near Conrad's store. As soon as this was
effected, the enemy IN turn retired. The
fighting is said to have been severe, and the
loss heavy on both sides.
A private letter states that Gen. Shields
had previously succeeded in destroying
large quantity of supplies belonging to the
Rebels at Milford and Conrad's store.
The damages by recent rams, including
the carrying away Of bridges over the branch
of the Shenandoah river, has materially in
terfered with the commssary arrangements
and the movement of troops.

week they gave just the merest trifle Of rein
to their fancy. and got up something parta-
king slightly of the "sarkastikal," as Arte-

lation as to whether their leader of that
week emenated from one, or was the joint

ton ought to be settled by this generation

Exchange of Prisoners.

.
WAsHINGToN, June 9.-Major w.
M. Stone, of the Sd Iowa Infantry,
Col Miller, of the 18th Missouri, and
Col. Gregg, of the 5th Illinois, taken
prisoners at Shiloh, reached here last
night from Selma, Alabama, where
they were confined. All the officers
taken at that battle, above the rank Of
Captain, were released on parole for
forty days for the purpose Of arrang.
ing general exchange OF prisoners,
the stipulation being that Gen. Buck
ner shall be included. They were
selected for the mission by the prison
ers themselves. They came via At
lanta, Augusta and Richmond, thence
back to Petersburgh and by flag Of
truce on board the Monitor. These
gentlemen report the South one vast
plantation of corn, and planters only
laugh at cotton growing. They have
seen tie inside of the rebellion, know
the enemy,s strength and vulnerable
points and only wait an exchange to
give important information. As the
Government is favorably disposed to a
fair exchange, ore will doubtless be
effected. ~

There Is vet Danger.

The salvation Of the country would seem
to be a matter Of importance, sufficiently so
to command the undivided interest of. every
sincere Union man, and vet there is reason
to fear that it may not be done, at least un-
til series Of years have passed away. There
are signs Of danger quite apparent to every
observer who will open his eyes and look at
them. The salvation Of the country requires
union Of sentiment and action or the part
of all who are DESTROYS of saving it. No
doubt there are enough to do it, if they will
only continue to act together. Divided
councils and divided action on the part of
the friends of the Union is what is to be
feared. And this is the test Of sincere
Unionism. Those who advocate party, who
refuse to listen to union Of parties for the
sake Of the Union, who profess to believe
that any one party can save the Union, with
out the concurrence of all other parties, are
not loyal. When the house is on fire, the
only question should be. how to put out the
fire. 1t is no time to discuss the merits of
this or that particular organization or instru-
ment to put out fire, but the demand is for
all the people to bring water and apply it to
the burning building. So it is with with
the country at this moment. Old Abe is
chief engineer Of the department, and by
virtue Of his Office, he commands all who
owe allegiance to the constitution and laws,
and who have life, person, and property ex-
posed to the elements, instantly to take hold
and help. But the Democrats call off their
men and commence cavilling about the cleo
tor Of Old Abe, his plan Of putting out the
fire, the efficiency Of this or the other engine,
and the best place to get water. They raise
clamor, call off the attention Of the people
from the fire. and let the building burn. If
the people suffer themselves in this emer-
gency to be diverted by these dishonest and
wicked politicians from purpose to sup.
press this rebellion. and to stand by and as
sist the President in doing it. we shall soon
find ourselves walking amidst the ruins of
our glorious institutions, the unhappy VIC
Tins of anarchy, mob violence, and civil war,
entailed upon us for generation of years
to come. ~
