NEWS OF THE DAY.

-Ou advices from Gen. Burnside are TO last even
ing. All was quiet save few shots fired on our
from, to d,perse Rebel gatherings on tie plain oppo'
site Burnsdes position. The Official return of Union
losses reduces the supposed aggregate below LOO
killed and 5000 wounded many Of the latter are
very slighty hurt. We lost about 500 prisoners and
took about the same number.
DISPATCHES which reached us after our paper of
yesterday morning had gons topress state that the
Rebels admits loss of2 500 at fredericksburg among
them Gems. Gregg and Cobb, aud a large number of
field oiic T.. News Rebel from Godsborough says
that their forces were obliged to retire from Kins-
ton and permit the Unionists to occupy the town. Ii
has been heretofore reported that our forces were
defeated. The truce for the burial Of the dead a.

Thousand were buried on the field. We add fur

The news this morning bears o more cheer
full aspect. Gen. Foster has performed o gal
liant action in the capture Of KinstOn, n. C.,
taking 500 prisoners and II pieces of artillery
The details are not yet received, but Kinston
is on important point on the Neuse, about half
way between Newbern and GOldsboro. Colds
boro' is still more important point, being q
railroad nucleus on the roads running south
from Richmond. Toward this Gen. Foster is
evidently making bis way. From Gen. Burn
sides army, we hear that the loss has been
much exaggerated the killed numbering less
than !, 400 and the wounded about S,COO, large
numbers of whom are but slightly hurt. All
this should dispel something of the gloom that
has settled upon US for the last few days and
we trust ere many days more to announce still
further cheering intelligence, of which, at this
moment, it would be premature to speak more
definitely.

artillery, large amount of ammunition

on the Island. It is said our mortar shell
proved very destructive. Wherever the,

that the Confederates had become per
fetly dendoralized /; in many cases entir,
regiments would refuse to obey orders
much ill-feeling prevailed among the Off

soldiers, had any confidence in their com

Flag Officer Foote and the gallant officers

achievement in capturing the Gibraltar

We have no information ut this time

that they commenced leaving soon after

In the present instance we are told
that to apply the term man installing to tn
taking and carrying away free person
would be "a perversion of the Englisl
language" Yet, upon consulting an,
dictionary of the English language. from
johnson to Webster, man stealing is ex
planned rs kidnapping, and kidnapping i
rnan-stealing. Evidently the lexicogrsph
ers were ignorant Of the English Ian
guage thus to pervert it. 9
And upon reference to the Bible, it viii
be found that the English translators new
er use the word kidnap. but always the
word man-stealing, to define the crime. =
And in the following case, in the Gath
chapter and It'll verse Of Deuteronomy
they clearly use the pharse in reference ia
the stealing of person, and are thereby,
according to Clagelt. guilty OF pervertine
the English language.
IF man be found stealing any of his
brethren of the children of Israel, and
maketh merchandise Of him, or selleth
him, then that thief shall die; and thou
shalt put evil away from among you
But the argument Of this profound ex-
positor of the English language and the
scriptures, implies that Moses was in
spired with such horror against the crime
Of stealing human chattel that he con-
demned the thief to death, while at the
same time, if free man or the child of
free man was stolen and sold into bond.

ted above ought to be satisfactory upon
the question of photography as well as
upon scripture Interpretation and morali-
y, even to Clagest's readers, If they should
ever happen to see it.
As our profound Judge and learned
critic insists that it is perversion of the
English language to apply the term steal
to anything but property, what will he
make Of the expression in the Gath verse
of the 9th chapter Of Matthew, where
a guard was placed over the body of the

Public sentimental the South.

We have learned some interesting
facts about the general condition Of the
public mind in tho Southwest, through a
gentleman who has just arrived in Now
York from New Orleans. He was in
tho latter city when tho news OF the IN
tended evacuation Of Columbus was, re-
ceivel, ltcame in a telegram from a
General in Tho Confederate army to his
brother in New Orleans, stating that
all tho militia Of New Orleans might at
once be sent 10 Memphis, as it was pro-
posed to make stand there. A meet
ing was called in New Orleans, great
depression marking tho public mind,--
The militia formally resolved that they
would not so, and a universal sentiment
was expressed that their departure to
Memphis would be useless. The prob
ability is that New Orleans is nearly
ready 70 Welcome a Union army. Such
are the opinions formed from observa'
Of the state of mind in the city
At the same time, it is to be always
remarked that mems opinions in such
matters depend more on tho immediate
circles surrounding them than on the
public at large, with whom they may not
associate. The same gentleman stopped
in Memphis on his way to the North, and
found great anxiety and terror prevail
lug there. He attended a meeting at
that city, at which a Brigadier- General
presided. The object was to arouse the
the people to the defense Of the South,
Tho General made a speech, calling on
the audience with some eloquence to
crush to arms, every man seize his gun,
and come forward for the defense of his
country" He was interrupted by a
voice in the audience saying, CHATS all
very nice talk, General, but you know
we hain't got nary gun among u.s.
