THE PRESIDENTS GENERAL ORDERS.
The forthcoming General Orders of the PRECEDENT
will not be mealy -moulhed on the subject OF Slavery
Some who have seen these Orders, read in them the
doom of the peculiar institution. Not only will Gen.
Uallecks General Order No. 3, and it's kindred, be
in effect revoked but officers will be hidden TO take
he blacks who come within their lines into tho
Unite, sts,ea service and get them at work. Prob.
ably will be left to the discretion OF each to decide
what manner of work they are best fitted to PERFORM

The following persons are among the prisoners

Expenses of LincoIn,s Government.

The Washington Government is spending vast
sums beyond the estimates presented by the Sec-
retary but few months ago. la July last Chase
estimated that he should need, to meet the de-
mands upon him up to July 1st 1862, the sum of
$316,519,5S1 81. He now says it will require
$685., ,424, ,O09 65--an enormous addition, truly,
and most enormous sum for one years expen-
ditures
The public debt is swelling with great rapid
ty. and has already attained giant proportions
Ninety millions on the let of July 1861, it will
be JiOe hundred millions in July 1862, and nine
hundred millions in July 1S63-even if the esti
mates are not again under the mark, as they
probably are ! Tie Northern people will recog-
nize this as very gloomy picture to come fro,n
the hand of friend The promised cotton has
not arrived-the rebels are not crushed out, as
they were confidently assured would be the case.
But something has been accomplished: A debt
has been built up that already towers like the
pyramids, and produces CONSERVATION and alarm
among the scribes of the Treasury. In the con-
test of resources, in which the North boasted
that their superiority certain, and that their
triumph would be signal the result thus far is to
be seen in the quiet and easy movement of the
Confederate finances, and In the cry of distress
which sounds through Ohass's Report

Bennett, of the Herald, is much frightened at
the tone Of the English press. The London or
gans, which represent the British Government,
while expressing great hostility towards the
Uuited States, do not appear satisfied 3, the sur
render of Mason aud Sldeli, and are beginning to
discuss the propriety of breaking the blockade
of the Southern ports in few months.
The London journals appear unanimous in this
sentiment, and majority OF the Queens MIN
listers agree with them. The Northern papers
say that the United States Government should
be prepared for any contingency, and that they
have relied too long in the hope that Great Brit
ain would pause AID ponder well the Inevitable
consequences, that they may react fatally upon
her interests in the event of war with the
United States. r
France urgently instigatss Great Britain to
recognise theinaependsncs of the Southern Con-
feleracy and break the blockade.
The North is alarmed at this news from Ea-

Death of 4 Noble Man and GaIlau t soidiel

We record with pain the death of Col. James
F. Preston, the gallant commander of the 4th
Virginia regiment. He died about 12 O'Clock,
Monday, the Goth, at his residence in Montgom-
cry county, of acute rheumatism, contracted by
exposure during the late arduous campaign on
both sides of the mountain. Col. Preston's reg
iment was attached to Gen. Jackson's brigade,
(Stone WALL and has participated in all the bril-
liant exploits of that famed command. Col. P.
himself was with his regiment from the begin
ming of tie war, and shared with it all its perls
and glory. He was in the midst of the fiercest
fighting 1T the battle of Manassas, and was the
first to lay his hands on the famous Ricketts, bat
terry, after it was stripped Of its defenders
The loss of COL Preston is loss not only to
his kindred and friends, but to his country. As
an officer, he was brave and accomplished !; as a
man, we never knew of one of more lovely
character. III Rich. Wing. %2

The Burnside Fleet.

The great Spanish Armada designed for the
conquest of England, and the great fleet that
Charles '. cent to conquer Algiers were destroy
ed by storms. We think it quite likely that the
storms ofthe past week served the Burnside Fleet
in the same manner. The Norfolk Dog Book
says:
We are satisfied from all the light that we have
been enabled to get on this srbject, that through
the interposition of kind Providence, the back
bone OF this expedition has been broken, and that
we now have nothing to tear from it. The
remnant of it may make feeble effort to strike
after little time to recuperate but for ali eec-
tive purposes the thing is failure, and it carries
the war spirit down with it.
1t says, that few of their old hulks are at
Hatteras, but in suoh crippled condition 90 to
be unable to make a movement, or even to 90
back home. Their grand army that embarked
on board the fleet IS mostly ia the ssbosom ofthe
deep oce an Buried" or safely in Davy Jores'

Battle of Prcstoashure KentucLv

In speaking of this fight, a correspondent Of
the Dispatch, says: zss5s
Our loss in this engagement summed up as
follows: Of Col. Moore's men, five were killed
ana SIX wounded; of Col. Williams men, six
were killed and seven were wounded.
The loss of the enemy could not be laes tbo ;
three hundred. A gentleman has lust arrived
from Prestonsburg, who reports that they lost
In wounded, killed and missing, one Thousand
men. We are informed that they immediately
retreated back to Paintville, and there reported
wounded. Their report is false. and calcnlate5
to deceive their own people. Our position wa,
such as to- enable us to overlook them. and Il
makes my heart ache when think of the num-
Der OF human souls who were hurried into eter-
nifty on that day. 1t is no disparagement of their
bravery for me to record the above facts; for
must say they fought long and fought we'll, but
certainly persisted in what they could not ac-
compiish-i. e., to drive us from our post ss

The Norfolk depot, previous to the departure
Of the regiment Of troops, under command of
Lieut.. Col. Frank Anderson, Tuesday last, was
tie scene CT much ekcitemeot Col. Anderson
issued orders that noLe should leave the ears in
case any ore should d ,obey the order, he should
first be hail, d, and should he refuse to heed the
summons, he should be shot. Before the train
moved Oft however, some of the men became
very restless, and evidently showed intentions to
run the blockade, if possible, needless Of all con
sequences. One of them, John George, by
naI-e, belonging to Captain Gls.avus Wallace's
company, of Richmond, V,rgiEia, was noticed by
the Oaptain, just a, he was on the point of leav-
ing the car, and was warned that if he should
dare to do so in Gisobsdience of the Oolonel's
orders, he would certainly shoot him. The man,
who was strongly undsr the influence Of liquor,
paused 8 moment, but after using very threaten
ing and insulting language towards the Captain,
advanced and had placed one foot on the plat
form OF tine depot, when Captain Wallace drew
his pistol, and true to his word, shot him. The
ball entered Georges forehead, just. above the
right eye, and passed cut at the back rart of the
head. Hs fell dead, between the platform and
the oars, bleeding profusely and bis brains oozng
out on the slls of the track. His body was re-
moved to the Poor House for buri.l.s .,s. !
Ths engine shortly afterwards moved some
distance down the road, to maze room for the
incoming train from Nerfolk.. The spot where
George fell was marked by pool of mingled
blood and brains, which afforded the crowd a.
lively theme of conversation until near four o.
clock, when the firing of mnskst1 was heard, IN
the direction Of the train, and rush was made
thither. II was ascsrtained there that Freder-
ick Oampbell, member also Of Captain Wal
lace's company, had disobeyed orders. After
witnessing the above fearful warning, he had
left the train, and was hailed twice Or thrice
without answeriny. The sentinsls were ordered
to fire blank cartridges, andit was not until this
had been done three Or four times that he turned
aud was returning, when he was pierced through
the abdomen by . ball from one Of the guards
musksts, the ball passing out at the back. He
fell, and was shortly afterwards carried into the
house of Mr.. Luke Farrell, where attentions,
both medical sid religious, were administered.
During the afternoon he was conveyed to the
Fair Grounds Hospital, but it is thought that
the wound will undoubtedly prove fatal.
We also heard that ssvsrsl other soldiers were
fired atstor similar sdisobsdience, but without in
jury.-Pstsrsburg Erprsss. '..-.... -
