FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM TIE
NORFOLK DAY BOOK

FROM BELow.-We are reliably informed
that three light draught gunboats, and the
same number of large lake or sound boats ar
rived in the Roads, yesterday, about noon
They were all filled with troops, and the three
former were recognized by our informant as a
portion of the Burnside Expedition.
The troops numbering estimated,
between four and six thousand, were landed at
Old Point Their arrival there was hailed with
many manifestations of delight, and they land
ed amid vociferous cheers and the playing Of
music by the bands.
We are further informed that the remain
der of the Burnside Expedition is expected to
join those now in the Roads In the course of
five or six days. and that they will proceed
to their destination at once. Where this des-
tnation is to be there seems to be a variety of
opinion yet there seems to be but little doubt
that it is intended for the Rappahannock or
James Rivers, Norfolk. Our informant
states that this is the prevailing opinion at the
North, and that the people of that section are
quite confident that the Burnside Expedition
will be the most important in its results of any
that. has yet been sent out

THROUGH the Norfolk Day Book we are in
possession of late interesting news from the
Northern Despotism. The New York Herald
ofthe 9Th has lengthy report of the proceed
ings of Congress on the Balls Bluff BuU ran
affair, embracing long discussion on the great
negro question, than which none is more con-
genial to Yankee intellect In this discussion
that of all Williams the most contemplate,
Lovejoy figured very conspicuous: Lovejoy
wants to force resolution through Congress
by which negro slavery shall at once be blot
ed from the face of the earth and the Union
and the Constitution saved Others, not quite
SO rabid on the negro question, have apprehen-
sions that the abolition of slavery might not
have the happy effect of saving the Union and
Constitution and think they had better look to
some other means than freeing the negro 1t
is evident from the discussions in Congress
that they have taken in hand matter entirely
too weighty for their feeble intellects. They
have got few thousand negroes on their
hands already that they have not the ability
to dispose Of and if they cannot ag.ee among
themselves as to what is to be done with the
few they have stolen, what could they do with
four or five millions How exceedingly foolish
it does look to see the Yankee Congress quar-
reling among themselves about bow they shall
save the Union and Constitution when it has
long since been decided by every intelligent

THE GREAT MACHINE BREAKING DOWN.

A review Of the following articles from the
columns of the Herald of the 9Th, will con-
vince the reader that the great bubble is about
to burst in the midst of its glory. The banks
are all broke, and so is the National Treasury.
With 600, 900 men, with arms in their hands,
and no money to pay them with, the North is
not likely to have the good time coming just
now, and it's cities may come in for being
sacked and plundered by its own unpaid min
ions. The Northern commercial and manufac-
turing interests cry for direct taxation, but the
West-the great West-says no. Emphati-
cally, NO!
As preface, we annex an article fr om the
editorial columns Of the Herald:
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF TIE COUNTRY.
Whilst Congress is wasting the precious
hours Of the session in the discussion of ques-
tions which belong to the executive business
of the War Department, and the agitation of
which can be of no sort of benefit at the pres
ent time the financial affairs of the country
are in a condition which excites the utmost
anxiety and alarm. In another week the
Treasury will be without cent, and in finan-
cial and commercial business of every kind
the prospect is fast precipitating matters to-
wards panic. Those who have anything to
dispose of, and who can realize it, are investing
the proceeds in gold or in foreign exchanges
as to be prepared for what seems inevitable
1t is evident that, unless Congress acts speed
lily and cnergetically, not only will we be over
taken by financial revulsion seyerer than any
we have asyet encountered, but the credit Of the
government will be destroyed, and our army
which is being brought into such fine cond-
ton, utterly demorallzed. The issue of ire
deemablc paper money, so far from helping to
eXtricate us from our embarrassnentS, will
only render them less easy of solution. A
nation that has recourse to such expedients
is bent on suicide. In taxation alone can we
find the means of providing for the burdens
that war imposes upon US.
Every article of luxury, every deed or paper
relating to the transfer OF real or personal pro-
perty, promissoary notes and bills Of exchange
in short, that is susceptible of
being thus charged-should bear it's proper
ton of them, in the form either Of direct taxes
or stamp duties. In this way revenue ola cou-
pie of hundred millions could be raised to Sc
cure the interest on the heavy war debt that
we are incurring. and to leave large surplus
to assist in providing for the wants ol the
government. If Congress is animate,i by the
least sense of patriotism, and is desir.us to
spare the country the humiliation of an ami
hilatcd public debt, as we'll as the disgrace
attending the triumph of the rebellion, it will
at once apply itself to the adjustment of the
taxation necessary to accomplish these objects
The country was never in a better condition
to respond to the calls that will be thus made
upon it, and will the more cheerfully meet
them, from the conviction now generally en-
tertained, that they provide the only safe and
legitimate remedy for the difficulties that are
now crowding upon US.
