Found il at Last.

The Yankees have found the great "mare's
nest" at last. A Regiment of white-livered
Indanians, stationed near Fortress Monroe,
have lately seen migger with gun in his
hand and they call upon Lineolndom and all
that is within them to curse the rebels. Poor
deluded wretchesL They will suffer the mig
ger to dreprive them of all happiness in this
life and then haunt. them in their graves. One
of the members of that Regiment, writing On
the Goth ult., says:
Yesterday morning, Gen. Mansfield, with
Drake de Kay, Aid de Camp, in command OF
seven companies of the goth New York Ger

Rurmsfde's Expedition.

We have At last, after several days painful
suspense, learned something definite of the
Whereabouts Of Burnside and his feet of gun
boats. Capt. Salyer, in command of the
steamer Johnston, went down the other day to
Portsmouth and Ocracoke on business and to
reconnoitre, and leaving there late Thursday
evening arrived here early yesterday morning
and reports positively that 40 gun-boats and
sailing vessels were in the harbor at Hatteras.
He did not sec the feet himself but fell in with
. gentleman who came up with him, whose
name we do not recollect, ebut, who, he says,
is reliable, from whom he received the above
intelligence, he having seen and counted the
vessels himself He also states that the fleet
has been assembling there for the last week
This is. nostreet rumor and gives intelligence
of something having show of tangibility, but
whethen the feet neatly intends to come in this
direction or is intendid for the canal, or wheth-
or it has merely run in the harbor at Hatteras
to axoia the stormy weather, all remains in the
region Of conjecture. We confess, we have
never believe until now that the expedition
was intendid, seriously, to menace this place,
but really it begins to look now like that our
time had come and we feel that this is a time
for all hands to put their shoulder to the
wheel and make one resolute push. The
truth is, it won't do to let them come here, and
4 every man in Craven county will determine
that they shall only come over his dead body,
they never will come for preventit.
When the fleet comes up, of course it will
move cautiously when within ten or fifteen
miles of this place, and the channel being mar
row, they will have to come in regular Indian
Ale, thus giving our sharp shooters fine opor
tunity. with long range rifles, to hover along
the margin of the river for fifteen or twenty
miles down andpick off the pilots and others
who may show their heads above deck like
shooting black birds in a snow storm. By
all means, let every man be wide awake and
duly sober and let us offer resistance that
shall fully sustain the high reputation hitherto
enjoyed by North Carolinians for noble deeds
Of daring and answering bravery. In a
word, let every man resolve in the strength oi
his God to resist to the death and never yield
axccpt when the earth shall have drunk in his
hearts blood.
By the way, where is our feet of gun-boats
under Commodore Lynch? 1t has been re-
ported here that the flagship "Seabrd has
been captured by the Yankees, and really ii
would seem that they had all been captured
or gone off on spree for we have not seen or
heard anything from them for two or three
weeks, except the time Capt. Hunter saw 80
gun-boats in Pamlico Sound sometime ago and
got shot at. 1t looks strange to us that at
least one of them is not Kept on our river tc
communicate intelligence Of any movement OF
the part of the enemy. In other words, what
is our feet for fit is not to cooperate with US
in orr efforts to ward off water attack.

NEW VERSION OF YANKEE DOODLE.

Yankee Doodle's in a fix, :
By news from DER the ocean,
The British lion shakes his name,
Which causes great commotlon,
The nigger worshippers have caLght
The wbipall Yankee mania;
And Jonathan is in for war,
From Maine to Pennsylvania.
Yankee Doodle, ha, ha, ha /!
To hear the braggars Yankee boast,
And Johnny Bull uproarious.
The thing Is this. / have it from
The latest Yankee papers.
4 sailor they call Charlie Wilkes
Been cutting up some caprrs.
He took from off a British ship
Men claiming her protection.
Because they dared to speak against
The Kangaroo election

Won't it be quite giorions.
To have the Hessien hireEngs whipt

They hurried Mason and Sliden
OFF to Boston city.
Where they confin'd them in fort
And thought the thing was gritty,
But now that England's lion shakes
His tail and main so furious,
These knavish poltroons will back down,
And say old Wilkes is spurious,
Yankee Doodle. ha, ha, ha!
Jonathan, you liar.
Youknow right we'll without the Souti
You can't stand Brish fire.
Old Abe and Seward clapped their hands.
And Wells became ecstatic,
But Gideon thought Sine Cameron,
Was acting quite cratic;
The praise-God puritanic crew,
Sang happy songs of Zion.
When 10 a messenger arrives,
Direct from British lion,
Yankee Doodle. ha. | a, ha!
Success TO cousin Johny.
He'll whip on sea, we will on land,
The thing will be right funny.
Our cotton ports will open soon,
But not TO snarling foemen,
Whose deeds rapine. fraud and theft,
Products are humbug Snowman,
Our daughters fair will then be decked
In goods from Ger the ocean,
And Southerners forever swear,
'Gainst using Yankee notions.
Yankee Doodle, ha ha, ha!
Jonathan may buster,
But France and England have him nov

a general order, expelling all newspaper cores

has been taken on account of alleged imprudent
statements made by some of the newspaper cor

Such an order is uni ust to he Press, the army
