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.
