Richmond, Jan. 11.—A gentleman from
New York says that it is generally believed
at the North that the Burnside expedition
is destined for James River, Rappahanock
River, or Norfolk.
There is a financial panic at the North.
The Federal Government is embarrassed,
and the people are realizing the lioubles in
store for them.
At Albany, on the night of January 8th,
a resolution was offered in the Legislative
caucus inviting to seats all favoring a vigo
rous prosecution ol the war, the resolu
tion was lost by a vote ot 16 ayes to 62
i mys.
Henry J. Raymond opposed the resolu
tion in a forcible speech. Raymond was
subsequently nominated for Speaker of the
House.
His nomination is regarded as an indi
cation that the peace party is in the ascen
dant.
The several thousand bales ol Sea Island
cotton landed at the North from Hilton
Head, and other points on the Southern
coast, turn out to be sand bags filled w itb
what is imagined to be cotton, and weigh
ing from 8 to 12 cotton pounds each.
