Two Expeditions Of ON Important
Character

About three weeks since an expedition
of 20, 600 men left Memphis under General
A. J. Smith. It's progress was unimpeded
until the recent engagement reported
through the rebel press From the report
given it is evident that the expedition has
met with success. Our correspondent at
Washington tells US that there are facts in
the possession of tho government proving
it to have been a great success on our
part,
This expedition is destined to MOntgom.
cry or Selma.
Another expedition left Decatur, Ala
bama, about one week ago, under General
Rousseau, headed, also, in the direction of
Selma and Montgomery. Smith and
osseau will probably effect junction
somewhere in Alabama. They can infict
immense damage on the enemy, as John
ston cannot spare man to repel them.
They are likely to obtain large number
Of negro recruits. Once in Selma their
force will be able to move on Mobile or
Montgomery We watch with the great
est interest, this important expedition.

open the pretty little jacket-there is the snow
white chest: none of them regards its agOn-
zed heaving of mingled shame and danger !:
they merely see that it is snOW.white-the
proper market price.
THE suppressed anger of the child was in
tense; her nature was true, then. No doubt
she had always been taught to look forward to
be sold to some great harem at Constantinoplc
all the Circassian and Georgian girls are !:
but her natural instinct of shame insult and
degradation was powerful still She flushed
crimson angry tears flashed in her eyes, and
fell rapidly one after another down her checks
and on her poor torn jacket; she drew her
breath quickly, her little hands clenched; but
she stood perfectly still until dismissed to the
other end of the apartment where some small
slaves surrounded her and began to tease her
The khanun fears that the girl has not good
temper; look, she says, how she turns like O
little panther at the black children | never
felt SO angry, so shocked in my life; and il
was with the greatest difficulty that could re-
frain, like the child. from crying with anger
and grief"
The Pasha himself comes in, and the invest
ment being talked over, for the child was not
to be bought for Dilbir's own use, but as a
speculation, she was again bcckOned up and
examined:
Even before us, and just as coolly as he
would have felt piece of cloth for q coat, he
felt the skin of her cheeks and throat, then ex-
amined her mouth in the same horrid manner
as his wife had done. The nurse, with many
salaams, handed him paper, which he looked

uncle, who had brought her down TO sell. She
might. the paper added, be kept on trial g.

Headquarters ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,(
April %, 1864.
As the time is approaching when some ofthe
regiments belonging to this army are to be dis
charged from service by reason of the expira-
tiOn of the term for which they were mustered
into said service, the commanding General an
nounces to such troops that the War Depart
ment has decided that the term of service of
regiment is to be computed from the day of
muster into the service of the United States,
without reference to the date of enrolment or
any service rendered state. This decision it
will be the duty of the commanding General
to enforce, and he will, if necessary, resort to
most extreme measures for this purpose. He
will, however. at all times be glad to receive
and forward for the consideration Ofthe proper
authority any respectful communication touch
ing the term OF service of regiments when
such term appears to be involved in doubt.
The Commanding General INDUCES the hope
that regiments to be discharged will cheerful
ly acquiesce in the decision of the Government
with regard to the term of service, and that no
organized bodies or individuals, after having
borne an unsullied reputation during all the
eventful scenes that have marked their cOnnec-
tion with the Army of the Potomac, will suffer
the honorable fame they have won by their
gallantry and good conduct to be tarnished in
the closing hours of their service by acts of in
subordination, which if ventured upon by any
will be promptly suppressed, and can only ter
inmate in the speedy and certain punishment
of the offending parties.

Harem Life in the East.

Lady Horny has recently published an en-
tertaining volume, entitled, Constantinople

things of interest to European and American
readers it contains an account of harem-life
of the East, which is not so rosy as some of
us have been accustomed to think Here, for
instance, is a Turkish Interior" the occu-

little Circassian slave who had just arrived and
whom khanun mistress is anxious to pur-
chase, as she is great beauty. They are go

and surprise. With low salaam, bending
down to the ground, and touching her lips,
breast and head with her fingers, entered a
lovely child about ten years old. She kissed
the hem of the lady's garment, then, folding
her arms on her breast, remained standing
mute, and with downcast eyes, before Dilibir
Adah. Her outer dress was of dark crimson
gauze, trimmed with an edging of gold. Long
Plaits Of golden brown hair escaped and hung
down her back from light net of pearls and
gold thread. She was of rare Eeauty; deep,
deep blue eyes at last raised to answer ques-

little mortal could she be saved now? What
does the khanun say? what are they going to

apartment.)
She is discussed by the party; the mistress
thinks her complexion two dark for blue eyes
the muse thinks she is sunburnt, &c, &c.
"Dilbir Adah beckOned her to come quite
close then seizing her nOze with one fat hand
and her chin with the other, she forced the
child's mouth open to the fullest extent, and

white tooth quite leasurely. Perfect! muir.

WORDS BY THE WAYSIDE.
BY DILLON O'BRIES.

Do you educate your children? 'Oh. yes,"
you say, "you send them to school, and spank
them if they neglect to CO." No doubt spank
ing comes easy to that big hand of yours But,
do you educate them at home? "You are not
qualified to do that" Yes, you are, if you are
worthy to be a father. In all this broad, intel
lectual land, there is not so noble a college as
you can convert your little parlOr at home into,
and the sciences and learning of the schools,
pale before the beauty of the knowledge
you can impart to your children. You can
teach them forbearance patience, charity, love,
mercy, truth, honesty, and the holiness of
home. You can teach them all these without
even opening book.
When you go home in the evening and find
things not as you would wish to have them,
meet not your wife with clouded brow. Re-
member. sir, you have vowed to love and cher
ish her; well, cherish her now, mayhap her
spirit is weary and chilled, she wants warmth,
not ice; if you be a man, give to her the
warmth of your love.
Light up your house with pleasant laughter
it is far cheaper and more brilliant than gas.
Oh, my brother, exchange not the pure atmos-
phere of home for the vile, reeking atmosphere
of the ballroom. So surely as you do, you go
ont with demon and leave 4 demon behind
you.
Allow not yourself to be cheated by the ex-
cuses that ''you went to see Mr. andSo
that you are very anxious to hear the news
that you will be back in a short time; these
are all messengers which the devil sends for
you, and he awaits you down there by that red
light, where men blaspheme the name of God,
and become more beastly than the beasts.
''But the children are so noisy in the even
ings." WE'LL hush them. Take Fanny on your
knee, and tell Charley story.
would sooner hear my childrenis laughter
than the grandest strain that ever flowed from

their eyes that they were proud of their father

Gen. peck,s Official Announcement
Of the Surrender.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The disaster at
membered that we have no iron clad vessel to
cope with the rebel ram, none fthem being OF
light enough draught to enter the inland wa
ters of North Carolina.
Private letters from Beaufort, South Caro-.
Ida, received by Senator Wilson and others,
speak of "a heavy rebel force in their front, and
express fear of being overpowered.

GENtR4L ORDER No. 46.-With feelings of the
deepest sorrow the Commanding General announces
the fall OF Plymouth, n. C.: and the capture Of its
sells, and his command. The result however, was
not obtained until after the most .aant and deter
mined resistance had been made. Five times the
enemy stOrmed the lines of the General and as many
times were they handsomely repulsed with great
eaughter and but for the powerful assistance of the
rebel ironclad ram and the floating sharpshoOter
battery the Cotton Plant, Plymouth would still have
been in our hands.
For their noble defence the gallant General Wes-
sells and his brave band have and deserve the warm
est thanks of The whole country, while all will SYM
pathize with them in their misfortune.
To the officers and men of the Navy, the Com
manding General tenders his thanks for their heat
cooperation with the army, and the bravery deter
minatOn ard courage that marked their part of the
unequal conte-t. With sorrow he records the death
of the noble sailor and gallant patriot Lieutenant
Commander C.. w. Flusser, United Stats Navy.
who in the he 1T of battle, fell dead on the deck of
his shin with the lanyard of his gun in his hand
The Commanding General believes that these mis-
fortunes will tend not to discourage, but to nerve
the Army of North Carolina to equal deeds of bra
very and gallantry hereafter.
Until further orders, the headquarters of the sub
district of the Albemarle will be at Roanoke Island
The command devolves upon Col d. W. Wardrop,
of the Nineteenth New York infantry.
