The Burnside Expedition.

It is announced that this Expedition"
has sailed. \ Washington correspondent
says
1t is believed in we'll. informed circles at
Washington that its successful landing will
be the signal for general advance. But a
short time ago General Mcclellan inquired
of General Porter in what time he could
move2 Being answered in twenty four
hours, he rejoined that he "wished the SOL
diers not to be deluded into the belief that
they were about going into winter quarters,
but to hold themselves in readiness as they
would shortly move forward" Since that
time it has transpired that orders have been
given to move by the way Of OCcoquan.
As the Burnside Expedition will probably
ascend the Rappahannock River, move
ment forward Via Oecoquan will compel the
evacuation of the rebel batteries on the
Potomac, and also give us possession of the
terminus of the Richmond Railway at Ac-
uuia Greek, and leave the Confederates at
Manassus the choice Of two evils to fall back
on Richmond, or be completely outfanked
and captured by McClellans mastery STRAIT

Some released prisoners have arrived at
Washington from Richmond. They say that
a great prison is being built in Salisbury, N.
c., inclosing fifteen acres. The building is
capable of containing fifteen hundred per-
sons. There are now in Richmond one thou
sand and twenty-nine prisoners.
There have been sent to Raleigh thirty
two, to New Orleans four hundred aud
ninety.six, to Charleston nine hundred and
fifty, Columbia s. O., one hundred and fifty,
Tuscaloosa five hundred, Salisbury one hun.
dred and seventy.six; released and sent
home, ffty-six; in Jail, forty-three; died in
prison, beside those who died in the general
hospital, one hundred; escaped, eight. Only
two boxes of clothing were sent from the
great State of New York to the Richmond
prisoners. These came from the Calvary
Baptist Church in Twenty third street, New
York City. Massachusettsand Rhode Island
sent great deal.
There are three prisons and three hospitals,
all originally tobacco manufactures. In the
latter the patients have cots. In the former
no bedding was supplied until the last of
November.
The smallness of the accommodations is
such that hundred prisoners are crowded
into room sixty by forty feet. The priva-

they have been subjected, have not been

Kentucky Opinion Of the Tines Bogus
Dispatches.

from the Lexington Observer, January 4
'GREAT FIGHT AT BOWLING GREEN."-This
was the startling cry of the news-boys
through our streets on Thursday night while
vending the Cincinnati Times. Every body,
ofcourse, grabbed at the paper, aud the boys
reaped quite harvest, until it was discov-
cred that the exciting news was contained in
a telegraphic dispatch, dated Lexington, KY,
January 2. There was then sudden check
to the prosperous operations of the boys, as
the whole thing was known to be a hoax.
No other daily paper coming to the city that
day, the Times, no doubt, expected this
clever dodge to succeed. and the sensation
heads were strung out in flaming capitals to
catch the eye upon opening the paper. If
the dispatch was sent from this city, the wag
who got it up is certainly entitled to the
lasting gratitude of the enterprising pub
fishers Of the evening paper which is so
much sought after here. The wags of this
city have the happiest facility Of getting up
startling news, but we had presumed they
were satisfied with home operations. and had
no idea of branching out for the benefit Of
"Porkopolis."

sued there would be unusual anxiety to see
the noon dispatches, and nothing sensational
coming by telegraph, proceeded to manufac-
ture out of the vague rumors floating about
town something TO increase the excitement
and the sale Of the paper. So the dispatches
from Lexington and st. Louis were COM
posed in the Times Office, and every effort
was made to excite and alarm the people.
The headlines were invented and made up
in a way not to give true index of the
"newa," but to exaggerate it. OF course, the

hesitate to be guilty of any additional mean

The question is frequently asked by mex
perienced members Of Congress and other
subordinate officers of the Government, who
ought to know better, "Why don't General
Mcclellan advanced" The only reply to this
question is, that General Mcclellan is ad-
vancing every hour of the twenty. four that
passes. He has his hands upon the throat Of
the rebel army of the Potomac, holding it
where ii is. He is advancing in drill, ad-

No matter what the news may be of the

Foreigp Items By the Asla.

The report of the death of Lord Palmer
ston, though early contradicted, created
great sensation in London. A correspond
ent of the Manchester Guardian says;
1t is suspected by some that the rumor
was set afoat for stock, ,jobbing purposes.
But should not be surprised if it was first
suggested by the sight of the blinds in all
the windows of the broad front of the Cam
bridge House close drawn, as mark of re-
spect to the dead. Lord Palmerston has,
am assured, felt the death of the Prince with
more keenness than any sorrow that has
befallen the country or himself within the
recollection of those most intimate with
him

In one of Mr.. Weeds letters from Europe
to the Albany EUening journal, the following
anecdotes are told:
Sir John Wilson, a veteran General, to
whom l was introduced, said that he received
seven wounds (then Captain Wilson, on the
Niagara frontier, in 1914, and was brought,
wounded, with General Scott to ALBANY,
where he remained several weeks, and was
then taken to Pittsfeld. He spoke warmly
of General Scotts gallantry and generosity.
He also remembers, gratefully, the kind at
tentions of his American surgeon, (Dr,
Thomas, of Poughkeepsie,) who entered the
army about the time General Scott was ap-
pointed captain.
Sir John related several incidents that oc-

west Of CanandAigua, at a tavern, he was an

for porter, but it could not be obtained,
Some hours afterward, as the wounded off q.

taken by the Yankee who said: swell, Cap

neither expected nor desired to see him
again." SWELL" responded the Yankee,
'never mind that. l heard you say you
wanted porter, and l have brought you

poured it out and handed it to the Captain,
who drank it, was refreshed, and offered,
with his thanks, payment. II don't want
no pay for that nor these six bottles. What
we Americans want is to whip the British,
and then treat them well afterward, 'speci.

six companies of the Twentieth New York
Regiment and three companies of Harlems
Cavalry, left Camp Hamilton yesterday
morning, under command Of Acting Brigs-

Vegesack and CARING, of General Woops
staff. About two miles beyond Little Bethel
the infantry halted. The cavalry proceeded
toward Big Bethel, and six miles this side of
that place met mounted picket, which was
driven in.
The cavalry gave chase, but were unable
TO oVertake them. On arriving at Big Bethel
the place appeared to have been deserted,
and careful examination showed that to be
the case. It had apparently been occupied
by three or four thousand men, including
two or three hundred cavalry. Breastworks
were found nearly half mile in extent,
pierced for twelve guns. After short stay
the scouting party returned. No squad was
left there, as was stated yesterday.
