EVENING PAPERS.

From North Carolina.
NEW YORK, Jan. Q.
The Times has a long letter giving the de-
tails OF the expedition of the negro brigade
into North Carolina, by which large numbers
OF slaves were brought in, guerrillas routed
and houses, barns, &c, burnt, guerrilla
hanged blythe roadside, aud his body left pend
ant as a warning.
On their way back they were several times
attacked by guerrllas in ambush, but the guer-
rias were routed every time. Several rebel
camps were burned, and also two whiskey dis
tilleries.
The expedition was absent three weeks The
coiored troops showed themselves invaluable
as guerrilla hunters. They subsis,ed mostly
on the country, which was swept almost en-
tirey clear of slaves, houses and barns, and
the residents fed panic stricken.
AS soon as the brigade made its appearance
the inhabitants in their panic organized
meeting adopting resolutions that they would
do anything required "to be sayed.n One
resolution was signed by fifty planters and
another by seventy-six. The expedition Oh
their return was followed by hundreds of No.
Carolinians, fastening to Norfolk to obtain
certificates of their loyalty; one hundred and
twenty vehicles crossed Great Bridge in
day, containing these persons.
The severe ehastisement given to the guer-
ihiNs hsso itcHittu HI tlicHi lIOHl lildl
part OF the State The results of the raid arc
as follows: Between 1000 and 5000 slaves
were released from bondage, of whom $50
were brought in, also OK, horse and mule
teams, and from fifty to seycnty-iye saddle
horses.
The guerrias lost thirteen killed and
wounded. Ten dwelling houses and many
thousands of bushels of corn We're burned,
and 100 rifles, infantry equipments, &C., fell
into our hands. The brigade lost twelve kill
ed and wounded aud one prisoner. Fourteen
rebel prisoners and four hostages were brought
in. About 100 men enlisted a large proper
| ton of the able bodied men having previously
escaped.
| Important from, tie Shenandoah railey.
NEW York, Jan. 0.
The Herald has the following:
Cumberland, Nd, Jan. s.-The garrison at
| Petersburg, Va, was surrounded to-day
| Fitz Hugh Lee and Rosser are moving between
New Greek AID Petersburg. The enemy drove
our forces out of Burlington to-day. This
place is threatened, and much excitement pre-
walls here tonight. 1t seems probable that
we will be attacked here Tomorrow morning.
The enemy yesterday captured train OF
thirty six wagons. They are reported TO be
moving in three columns. Imboden has been
attacked at Winchester and driven back. So
far everything is in our favor.
