THE RrRysIDE EXPEDITION.

This. the fourth Of the naval expeditions
sent out by the Government, was Oh Sunday
within Pamlico Sound, having entered at
Hatteras Inlet. When it left Hampton
Roads, on the llth inst, it comprised over
LIS vessels, including the supply ships
There were nine gunboats, carrying g guns,
5 floating batteries, carrying L guns,
nine steamers. four ships, SIX barques,
thirteen schooners and barge, the whole
conveying lG regiments Of volunteers, with
the necessary ordnance. ammunition and
stores. The regiments were in three bri.
gades. The first brigade under Gen. Foster,
comprised the 23d, Oath. 25th and 9th
Massachusetts, and the 10Th Connecticut
Regiment. The Second Brigade under Gen.
Reno, comprised the Dist Massachusetts,, 9th
New Hampshire, 5lst New York, 9th New
Jersey and 5lst Pennsylvania Regiments.
The Third Brigade under Gen. Parke, COM
prised the 4th and 18th Rhode Island, 8th
and lin Connecticut. SD and seth New
York Regiments and Belger's Battery.
Gen. Burnside went On the gunboat Pick
ct, but afterwards changed TO the steamer
S. R Spaulding.
From the severity Of the storm, and per
haps ineompetency or in6delity Of then
pilots, nine Of the rs vessels were lost
of which our dispatches give the particulars
a correspondent Of the World asserts, b,
says on the authority Of an officer Of bigt
rank, that NeEbern is to be frst attacked
TINS is on the Neuse river and Is connectel
by railroad with G3ldsbJro, fifty miles il
land. Goldsboro' Is to be attacked next. !
Gen. Burnside thinks advisable If not, th
forces would re-embark, sail down 70 Cap
Fear river and attack Wilmington. Th'
seizure Of G5ld-bor1' would break the shor
line OF railroad Communication between Rich
mond and the South, and the occupation o.
Raleigh. Is miles further. would cut tn
inland line
The success OF the expedition, whatever
attempts. Is considered certain. From a
that can be gathered from their newspapers
the rebels did not know. even alter the Ez
petition had been 4 week al Hatteras. wher
it was or what i. proposed to do. Il Is 7,
ported, however, that they had begun TO T,
move the women and children from Newber
a. if expecting al attack there. From II
TACT THAI theIr papers are forbidden TO pubs

likely that " shall hear little Of the exp,
dIr1u except a. zen. Burnside sends de,
patches.
Our Dispatches to day intimate That 81

eighteen thousand fire hundred letters hso

from New York city alone and TINS
with mail of over 5000 letters for the
same destination, made up in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey. Connecticut, Massachusetts,, anu
other States, is now at the New York Post
Office, awaiting the departure Of transport
The number Of letters now sent from the
n Y Office to Port Royal, Is estimated at
twice the number sent formerly to the whole
State of South Carolina.
The civilization OF nation, il has been

that the presence of few t-ousand North
