SURVEILLANCE OVER THE NEwsPAPERs-We under
stand that bill has been introduced into Congress to
put the newspapers under surveillance of the auhori
ties.
We learn that the provisions of the bill make it a
penal offence punishable by fine and Imprisonment for
any newspaper to pu blish Information of the number
disposition movements Of any of the forces of the
IN the naval service the description of any battery,
sortfcaon or military invention of any signal
flag employed or adopted by the commanding officer of
any post.
While it is thus proposed to establish surveillance
the newspapers to prevent information of the plans
and operations of the land and naval forces of the Con
ederate States being conveyed to the enemy it certain
ly seems strange neglect and double outrage that
the doors should be kept open to Yankee spies and
communications of travel with the North kept in its
present exposed and reckless condition.

From participant in the fight we learn that the

The WeatheF,-The Burnside Expo Ciiti0a.

1t is not so to-day as it was last week. Not
by great deal In fact it turned cold yesterday lit
tie after midday and the wind shifted round to the
North East and commenced blowing heavily at which
dissatisfaction felt here as it known or sup
posed that portion of the Burnside expedition off
our coast 1t would appear from the telegraphic news
hat they have had to put back to Hampton Roads, al
though We are not absolutely certain of this We need
not add that our wishes that they might have good
tme the left have been less strong because of
the reports current, apparently not without fcun
dation that this place destined to receive few
their attentions.
OF course we cannot say hotV much foundation there
may be for the reports which assign Wilmington as The
destination of the Burnside expedition. They are far
enough from being conclusive but is certainly neither
impossible improbable that it should be meant
to here And some think that the suppostion of
its berg designed for this point finds confirmation in
the seathy Burning, short time since, of the light
boat anchored not far from Fort Caswe well in tn
further fact that among the captains of transports
nected with the expedition recognized the of
at least three masters of vessels who had sailed to this
port for years The burning of the light ship may have
been sporadic act of devment, and the fact of
these old Wilmington captains being in the expedi-
ton may be merely accidental but again it may
ot. We take it that the specific reports definitely in
dcating this place as point the point Of attack,
from originated with Mr.. O. Heinrich former
Of the o. g. Coast Survey and said to have been
Gently connected with the Burnside expedition. The
Richmond papers have recently had good deal to say
about Mr. Heinrich who is just from the other
side. Of him we really know nothing.
From all we learn in regard to the class of YES
sells composing this expedition, as well as other matters
connected with it, it is pretty nearly certain to be des
tined either for point within the Capes CT the
Chesapeake, or the Cape Fear 1t is possible and in
deed probable that the body of the force meant fer
the Rappahannock, York Rivers or it might be the
James River, making dash at Richmond, but it is said
that the plan having been discovered, was changed
The following from the Norfolk Day Book of yesterday
is the latest news brought by mail -
We learn that the vessels of the expedition, frigate
gunboats, side wheel steamers, and number of
ports 35 in all left Old Point at O'Clock yesterday after
and went out of the Capes There alss large
friends in the neghborhood of hatteras Wilmington
may look out for them, although they may have only gone
out for ruse, and may return after dark Some of the
steamers, we learn, had scows in tow.
1t is barely possible that instead Of having put back
in stress of weather they may have only gone out
ruse, and returned in pursuance of plan. What the
steamers had scows in tow for, is more than we ca
| say.-Ddiiy Journal, l4th inst.
