able aud important as it seemed, has been but
'he tererunner of many more. That Of Gener-
al Burnside goes forth much better provided in
every respect. Gen. SHERMAN had but fifteen
thousand men. Burnside has eighteen thous-
and, and has floating batteries, gunboats and
storeships without number. Ordinarily such
an effort might task any nation. Yet simulta-
neously with this there sails from Cairo ane.
ther great expedition Of seven,y-eight vessels,
of which twelve are gunboats, mou nting fifteen
guns each, seven of them iron-cased, a nd thirty.

FROM PORT ROYAL.

By the arrival Of the steam transport Orien.
tai, we have udvices from Port Royal to the
morning Of the 9th inst. Nothing Of special
importance had occurred since the sailing of the
Vanderbilt. Gen. Stevens still held his position
at Port Royal Ferry without serious interfer-
snce from the enemy, and was waiting for re-
Inducements TO enable him to advance further
en- the mainland-probably to attack the rebel
batteries at the railroad. A slight skirmish
took place on the 5th, in which seven Of the
enemy were captured and marched to Beaufort,
where they were provided with tsfo quarters
and plenty to eat. Gen. Sherman's force had
received reinfsrcemsAts numbering $500 men,
and was making preparations for more serious
operations. Three thousand of his troops had
besn sent 10 Tybss Island, where work on tho
intrenchments was still proceeding. Fst Pu.
laski continued to expeRd shot aud shell in lhe
vain attempt to delay operations. Only one
man, however, has yet been struck. Two
schOoasrs of heavy tonnage were loading al
ililt0n Head with sea Island cotton, and we're
expected 10 sail soen tor New York. The re-
cent battle at Port Royal Ferry, was one Of

ter. instead Of being the terror of the seas,
which she was for a week or two, is now re-
duced to being the skulk of the West India
Isles. II is all she can de to keep out OF the
way Of the pursuers. The small pirate craft
which for a while pOuneed out with impunity

the Nsrth Carolina sounds, and seized oar un.
suspeeting traders as they passed by, have all
been quiet lately. They srs aeilher able to

of a success. If the Sumter and the Nashville
were nabbed-and it is not creditabls 10 Us that
they have net been asbbed-the whole system
OF Confederate piracy might be considered as
