The North caroIina Expedition.

lGoTreSp pOnuence Of tho New YORK Tribune.
McREHEAD CIET, n. c., January &c, 1868.
The department of North Carolina is
busy with preparations for an active win
ters campaign. The rebels have already,
through their newspapers, informed the
Northern public of the fact of our rein
forcement, and have attempted to draw
from it conclusions as to what General
Foster intends to do. How far their sur
mises are true doubtless the coming events
of the present week will bear testimony
Inasmuch as the enemy is already aware
Of the fact, and have widely speculated
upon its meaning and consequences, it can
surely be no injury to the cause to ac-
knowledge that General Foster has been
largely reinforced by veteran troops, who
will specify be employed against the re-
bellion.
General Naglee, whose Peninsular re-
cord was SO brilliant and successful, and
| who now commands a division, composed
principally of the fine material which
formerly made up General Casey's old di-
vision, will be a leading mind in these
movements, and will soCn send to the
North record which may tell of hard
fighting, and also, We are confident, Of
well-earned and important advantages
AwareeOf the activity which is prevailing
throughout this department, the rebels are
busily at work to prepare to Withstand
an attack at places which they deem most
| liable to need defence. They have been
for some time engaged in putting Will
mington in condition for making vigor-
GUS resistance to our land and naval forces.
They have already a large force there,
and have erected new batteries in addi-
tion to the many which already defend the
harbor. They boast that by means of their
railroad communications, they can, with
in few hours concentrate at that city q
force competent to defeat any army which
we may bring against it. In the event Of
our successful approach, they say they will
give the best town in the State to the
flames, that we may gain as little as pos
| sible from its capture. Charleston also
feels itself to be menaced, and we have re-
ports from there Of similar preparations
against attack. Whether or no the rebels
are correct in their impressions, events
must soon decide.
The rebel force ct Goldsboro' and Kins-
ton, in this State, has been of late greatly
increased, and it is more than likely
that the intention may be to push down
upon Newbern. As far as 1 have been
able to examine our lines and our means
! Of defence, have found them fully ade-
quate, and the military authorities here
have not the slightest apprehension as to
the result of any such movement on the
part Of the enemy. With the aid of the
gunboats in the Neuse, pouring forth q
fierce enflading fire, our troops can easily
! kear sf hay three times their number.

Highly Important from charlottesville
BlOcladinG Fleet dispersed by the Reb-
The news this morning from Charles
ton is Of the highest Importance. Although
it comes from rebel sources, the circum-
stantial and detailed account gives evil
dence that there is too much foundation
for it. The substance of the news is that
on the Both two rebel ironclads and several
supporting vessels sailed out and attacked
the Elockading feet. The United States
gunboat Mereedita surrendered, another
gunbOat is reported sunk, the Quaker
City disabled, and the rest Of the blockad-
ing feet scattered cut Of sight. Great re-
joicing greeted the victorious rebel boats +;
General Beauregard and Commander In
graham issued joint proclamation, de-
claring the blockade raised; the foreign
consuls went from the harbor to see for
themselves that the feet had disappeared,
aud held a consultation at which they ex-
pressed their opinion that the blockade was
legally raised. All Of this is very aggra-
waiting and humiliating, if true, and is a
disgraceful affair. It is to be presumed,
however, that the reports are highly col
ored, and that the facts are not as bad as
represented. But at present, there is
certainly nothing for US to crow over.

SENSATIONS OF A STEAM BATH.-MR.
EDITOR After perambulating from morn
ing to night the streets of your Forest
City," exposed to the sharp, cutting wind
which bore along in its fight that which is
always regarded as an unwelcome intruder,
(unless when found in significant proportions
in a mans purse-no objection to the dust"
them brief inspection of my clothes and
consultation Of my feelings made me sensibly
aware of my besmeared condition. A delib-
crate consideration of what method would
be most efFectual in freeing me from the dirt
and dust which sticksth closer than a
brother" culminated in the determination to
try the virtues of Steam Bathing. suiting
the action to the word. soon found myself
clad in ghostly habiliments, following the
guide through the labyrintian halls that led
to the soene of action. My first order was to
take reeumbent position on the lowest step
of flight of stairs upon which 1 had to
q work my passage to the top, and no soon
er had I Obeyed than my ears were greeted
with frantic and diseordant whizzing of
steam, which slightly rufled the tranquility
of my mind. At intervals of say Eve min
utes advanced from step to step, and
''such getting up stairs never did see."
Steam to the right of me, steam to the left
of me, and darkness and heat that might be
felt--all this combined soon "run the block

perspiration, might have said like David Of
old, "my couch watered." In due time I
was treated to feast of soap and fow of
water, and then, (although did my masters
will) after being f beaten with many stripes"
came the final plunge, followed vigorously
with towel friction, which impaired de-
lightful glow. Feeling quite rejuvenatel,
and relieved of " the least shade of the shad
ow Of a shred" Of dirt and dust, I left the
institution, knowing that it shall be to me
hereafter anselysian resort. EUsTAoR.

no sympathy With Home Traitors.
We have already published the resolu-
tiOns Of the Indiana officers in General
ROseOrans' army upon the attitude of the
peace men Of the North. The responses
from Grants army are equally explicit
and out-spOken. A gentleman who had
written to the Generals commanding in
Grants army, received most unequivocal
condemnation of the Northern Copper
heads, from those whom he had addressed.
Upon the tory resolutions introduced into
the State legislatures they were intensely
indignant
General John A. Logan, known through
ont nlinois as a Democrat, remarked:
Tell them up North, for me, that we can
whip the rebels, are going to do it, and
when we are done, we are to return home.
When we get there, we shall yet be strong
enough to summsrily punish any seces-
sion sympathizers, or peace preachers,
that we may be able to find in our way.
General Loomis was equally strong in
his language. Another General said; {" If
we had Dick Merrick, Allen Robinson,

Times, here, their lives, we're they known,
would not be worth penny-the incensed

GREAT REBEL REJOICING.
FROM CHARLESTON.

New York Feb. 4.
The Herald publishes the following tele-
gram to the Richmond Dispatch
CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 81.
The two iron-clad gunboats Chicora and
Palmetto State, with threesteamers as ten
ders, went out beyond the Bar at one
o'clock this morning to attack the block
aiding feet. Firing began soon after one,
and for a time was very rapid afterwards
it itslacked, hut continued at intervals until
nine this morning. Owing to the fog, the
result has not yet been ascertained. Com
mOdore Ingraham is aboard the Palmetto
State as Commander of the Expedition
SECOND DISPATCH.
This morning the gunboats Palmetto
State and Chicora, accompanied by three
small steamers, all under command of
Commodore Ingraham, made an attack on
the blockaders, and succeeded in sinking
two and crippling third. The engage
ment commenced at four o'clock. The
Palmetto State, with Commodore Ingra-
ham aboard, opened fire upon the Federal
gunboat Mercedita, carrying II guns and
15S men, which was soon sunk in five
fathoms water. Her Commander, Captain
Stiltwagen, with a boats crew, came
aboard and surrendered. One shot pierced
her boiler, going clear through. Captain
Stillwagen and crew were paroled by Com
mOdore Ingraham. Captain Tucker, Of
the Chicora, reports the sinking of another
Federal gunboat and the disabling of the
steamer Quaker City. The latter was set
on fire by the Chicora, and hauled down
her flag and surrendered, but afterwards
managed to escape with only one wheel.
Sne was very seriously damaged.
The number of the blockading feet out
side at the time of the attack was thirteen,
with two frst-class frigates, the sbsque-
hannah and Canandaigua. The Federal
loss is very severe.
1t was complete success on our part,
with not man hurt. Our gunboats were
not even struck. All the blockaders have
disappeared. There is not one to be seen
within five miles, with the strongest kind
of glasses. Our boats are now returning
to Charleston.
The following official dispatch is from
on board the gunboat Palmetto State II
went out last night. This vessel struck
the Mercidita, when she sent boat aboard
and surrendered. Her officers and crew
were psrOled. Captain Tucker thinks he
sunk one vessel and set another on fire,
when she struck her flag. The blockading
feet had gone southWaTd and eastward,
out Of sight.
