Rumors from the Burnside Expedition.
Fortress Monroe, Feb 9.-We learn that
the bombardment of the works on Roanoke
Island continued during yesterday. About
noon, Commodore Lynch got his Mosquito
fotills under way, and came down Curri-
tuck Sound to assist his rebel friend, Gen.
Wise, on the island
The Federal gun boats then directed
their FIRE upon the gun-boats commanded
by Lynch, and at five o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon three rebel gun-boats had been
sunk, two were captured, one of which had
a Commodore's pennant flying during the
action, and the rest dispersed in every di-
rection
The firing ceased at dark last night, but
was recommended with increased vigor and
effect this morning, and kept up until about
eight o'clock, when it is supposed the reb-
ell forces on the Island surrendered
A fireman on board the Selden said that
the Federal troops had been landed in
large numbers on Roanoke Island and that
the Stars aud Stripes could be seen at
Elizabeth City flying over the Confederate
batteries. 1t was rumored in Norfolk this
morning, that three regiments had been.
recently sent to Roanoke Island, and that,
as there is no chance for escape, the prob
ability is that they were all captured
The rebels acknowledge that the only
obstacles of importance to retard General
Burnside's march inland and upon Norfolk
will be the natural ones of swamps, marshes,
sickness, sc.
The rebels feel their recent defeats very
sensiblJ, and are growing desperate in their
fear Il III #e
BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-THE Clipper has
issued an extra fully confirming the news
of the success of Gen Burnside's opera
tions on the North Carolina coast.
Roanoke Island was taken after three
days hard fighting. ..... III
A large number of rebel prisoners are
reported to have been captured I'D
Two of the rebel gunboats were captured,
the rest were sunk or scattered
The people of Norfolk and Portsmouth
are said to be panic stricken. ..
The passengers that arrived here today
by the Fortress Monroe boat confirm these
accounts, which, it must be remembered
are derived from rebel sources. .ss sd.

Expulsion Of Senator Bright.

Last year, at time when no one in his
senses could doubt the intentions Of the
southern conspirators, Jesse D. Bright,
Senator in Congress and locofoco demagogue
generally, addressed the following letter
to that arch. .fend, Jef Davis: at
-.- WASHINGTON, March /, 1861.
NV DEAR SIR:-Allow me TO introdnce
to your acquaintance. my friend Thomas B.
Lincoln of Texas. lie visits your CAPITAL
mainly to dispose of what he regards a great
Improvement in firearms. recommend him
to your favorable consideration as gentle
man of the first respectabil;ty, and reliable
IN every respect. Very truly yours,
JESSE D. BRIGHT.
TO his Eacelteacy, Jefferson Davis. President
of the Confederate States.~..f .-f r-g
There is no equivocation in this lam
guage II is addressed to one who had
usurped the prerogatiycs Of the President
Of the United States, aud recommended to
his friendship and patronage a man who
had great improvement in firearms"
tor sale! In giving that address, Bright,
as Senator Of the United States, reeog.
nized the traitor as President of part of
those States, and in doing so stood forth a
peTured Senator. In the next place, he
knew that an improved or any other FIRE
arm would be used by the traitors to kill
his own constituents who would re-
main true to his country, and in recon.
mending ore who had such weapon for
sale, he became as much traitor as if he
had offered his own services. With the
exception of few papers in the cities, and
here and there locotocO press which can
see "abolitionism in everything that is
done, the expulsion is cordially approved
by rightthinking men Of all parties.

| TEXAS AND New ORLEANS RAIL
RoAD.-We find the following in the
franklin (St. Mary parish) Planters
Banner, of the 18th:
Last Monday we met b. j. Sage,
Esq, Of New Orleans, who informs
US that he thinks the Texas and N,
Orleans Railroad under fair way
to be completed at a comparatively
early period. He thinks the planters
will take liberal amounts of stock, to
be paid for in labor after the crop is
laid by. He is now making we'll d.
rected efforts to enlist planters in
this great Southern enterprise, and
to aid in putting through what has
has become a great and pressing mil
itary necessity. A fair reckoning in
regard to the income of this road
shows that the amount of produce,
and travel that will pass
over it between New Orleans and
Texas will make it the best paying
road in the South. Those who wish
to turn their slave labor to the best
possible account after the corn crop
is made, can do ne better than to
put most OF their hands in this road,
and keep them there from July to
January. !

New York State Militia, which wa.
