One day last week we had, as guests, an officer and boat's crew belonging to the Sleamer Wyandot, who had been sent out from Tybee ‘On the previous day to overbaul one of the stone fleet in ‘the offing, having performed which duty they started to Feturn; but night coming on they lost their reckoning and polled about until daylight, when they sighted the shipping in Warsaw Sound ‘and ran in, pretty well used up with hunger and fatigue. After foddering and resting themselves they started for ‘Tybee again. There are two stone frigates in the harbor, to be sunk in the inlets, and on New Year's eve the steamer Ken Deford came in with despatches, and sailed ‘again the next morning, and from her we learn that there was to be an immediate attack upon a bafery lately erected at Port Royal ferry. Theve is strong fortifica. tion building a liiile above us; but I suppose that is not to be molested until completed and able to show & good hit. ar the day after New Year’s a rebel steamer cams down from annah and anchored for several hours abreast the fortitications above us, evidently landing ‘ammunition and other stores, and in the afternoon went back again. A contraband also came off to the Seminole, telling marvellous tales concerning Commodore Tatnail having sunk his famous fleet, and getting mobbed in the streets of Savannah; likewise declaring that the garrison in Fort Pulaski were nearly out of amminton. These stories sound very fishy, and we take them for about ‘what they are worth, many being of the opinion that be hhas been sent down to spy out our intentions. The Ben Deford has just come in, and leaves imme- diately; 80 1 must close up. GEN. HALLECK’S DIVISION. THE GREAT ‘EXPEDITION FROM CAIRO. DEFEAT OF THE REBELS AT SILVER CREEK, &e., &e., &e.

A portion of the force, however, has been despatched to Sterling Point. Weather Permitting, the remaining portion will be got under way to-morrow. Cairo presented an unusually warlike ap- pearance to-day. ‘The troops and stores are all on board, and the steamers and gunboats all ready to leave.

General Grant and staif went down during the afier- oon and returned at dark. ‘The remainder of the force will move in the morning. A spccial despatch to the Evening Journal from Cairo ays that the expedition bas commenced moving, anda large portion of the force had already gone down the river. It is under convey of the gunboats Essex and ‘Lexington.

Sr. Lovis, Jan. 10, 1862. ‘The Cairo correspondent of the Republican telegraphs that the great expedition is ready to start. All the sol diers and most of their wagons had embarked on the steamers, which will leave as soon as the dense fog which overhangs the river is dispeiled. The troops are in the Dighest spirits and impatient to be off. ‘The fleet will ascend the Tennessee river some distance, ‘Dut the final destination of the expedition is not known, A considerable body of cavalry will start at the same time from Bird's Point and proceed through Kentucky ‘and join our army at the point of debarkation on the Ten- Besse river.

This ig all upon our side thatit is deemed advisable to make public at present, though there are a few abolition papers which oro continually revealing the secrets of our camp, contrary to the w of the generals commanding. But a mattor is now being brought to light which bids fair to afford us newspaper folk a theme for writing in exienso. Irefer to the investigations now being made into the Quartermaster’s and Corumissary’s departments, ‘These affairs have only just begin to be “ventilated,” but enough has been already proved to warrant the removal of Quartermaster Hatch and Commodore Graham, and they are now succeeded respectively by Capt. A. 8 Baxter (formerly of New York), and Capt. Koontz, of Pittsburg. Without giving details, I will state that the grossest frauds and speculations have been at the bottom of it. Coal swindies, horse swindies, lumber swindles, mule swindies and swindles of all kinds, locm up as the investigators dive down into the batch of official corruption, like putrid exhalations from a compost heap on a spring morning. 1 bave got all the facts, or enovgh at least to damn ali concerned (o ‘so deep a grave of political and moral oblivion that it would take an extra day of resurrection, with more help, toraise them to judgment, aud shall, through you, give them to the public as soon as the good of the ser\ ice will allow, without fear or favor, as 1 have no friends to puffor enemies to spite among them. The gentleman who succeeds Mr. Haich 1 know nothing of personaily, nor do I wish to, except in his official acts; Iam under no obligation to bim or any one in his department, and hold the same relations to those who have gone out. of office. If he shal! prove himself honest, capable and deserving, the people will learn of it through the Hspacp; but if be shall lend himeeif to the uses of unserupulogs pub- lic leeches and speculators; if he shall turn his office into one of general spoliation, and suck the life blood of the government at a time when that government is bleeding at every pore, I shall as certainly expose the iniquity. I have written often of former frauds and peculations, have shown how government was being robbe! by its dishonest agents, and now have the satisfaction of knowing that what T e written has been approved by every well wisher to the country and itsarmy. Some things I haye written have been called harsh; but I have yet to learn that the taking of what is not my own is anything else than stealing, whether I take it from government or froma private individual, and Iwrite it “stealing.” If I, as a salaried quarter- master, buy a cargo of lumber for barracks for $9 50 per thousand, and bill it to government at$10 50 per thou- sand, the logic that would make me out anything else than a thief is yet to be invented. If I, asa salaried quart: master, receive and sell according to “army regulattons to the highest bidder, a couple of hundred te. jon mutes, I commit no crime; but if I to properly advertise such sale, and, as @ sequence, have no one at the sale except my own employes, and sell them for such a mere pittacce as thirty-three dollars and sixty cents each, and that to one of my own hirelings, and the next week I buy back the same identical mules of the purchaser, for government use, for one hundred and eleven dollars cach, and give government “vouchers” for the paymeut, and divide the difference m price with him of whom I buy, I have no system ‘of reascning which will convince me Iam not a thief; and so with hundreds of other matters, which time nor space will permit me to jot down. But the facts aud proofs shall ull be forthcoming in due time, for ‘there's @chiel amang ’em takin’ notes.” GENERAL SIGEL’S RESIGNATION. INTFRESTING EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER— THE CAUSE WAICH LED TO THE RESIGNATION. The foliowing extract from a private letter, dated St- Louis, Janary 6, explains the cause which led to the resignation of the veteran General Sigel, and will be read with interest And so Sigel bas been so shamefully neglected that native Americans have grown impatient. His last stay here was more for the benefit of his men than his health. ‘They have never allowed his division to be complete. He has organized regiment after regiment only to be de- prived of the effects of his energies; and to his memorial to General Halleck on this subject he has nevor received an answer. iis staff, in spite of all his efforts, have re- ceived no pay,and but little attention has been paid to his requisitions for the troops. Notwithstanding the cold his men have been compeiled to sleep in torn tents, without fires, while it is notorious that other commands were freely supplied. Immediately before his last return to Rolla a conver- sation took place between General Sigel aud General Halleck, and Sigel seemed satisfied that the command of the troops at Rolla had been given to him. Ou the ey ing of his arrival at Rolla he received news to the eff that the people of Southwestern Missouri had petitioned President Lincoln for protection, and had recommended Sigel as a tit men to deliver them from the thealdom of Jeif. Davis. Everything indicated that be would sce some active service, when, to his astonishinout, after being only four days at Rolla, he was ordered to trauster his command over to General Curtis. There was no alternative for Sigel but to resign, and resign he did. During the whole campaign General Sigel has been sub- jected to a series of disappointments. Fremont, who knew Sigel’s abuidies well, would not grant hit sufficient troops when there was a splendid opportunity of defeating Price at the passage of the Usage. Fremont was removed ana General Hunter was appointed in his place. A council of war was held and Sigel was sent out to meet the enemy. ‘The main body of the army, however, suddenly retreat- ed,and Sigel was left alone; and had it not been for a mere accident he might have lost his entire division. He remained forty-cight hours in Springfield for the purpose of procuring ineans of transportation for the families of these who were serving in the Union army, an? gave his riages his horses aud his all, to save ‘hese poor wo- men snd children from freezing and starving. Immediately after Hunter's retreat Sigel had resolved npon resigning, but the hope of being able to do some- r unhappy Missouri changed his mind. General eck’s last order hus dissipated Sigel’s last hope, aud he has only acted as a man of honor ought to have acted. NEWS FROM WESTERN MISSOURI. BRILLIANT VICTORY AT SILVER CREEK. Sr. Locrs, Jan. 10, 1362. General Palmer telegraphs General Halleck from Uiter- villethat on the &h Major Terrence or Hubbard, with 450 troops, attacked the notorious rebel Poindexter, with from 1,000 to 1,300 men, on Silver creek, Howard county, totally routing them, with a loss of seven left on the field and many more carried off, and from fifty to seventy-five wounded and thirty prisoners. Our lose was four. The rebel camp was destroyed and a large number of horses and teama were taken, A heavy fog alone saved them from complete destriction. COLONEL JENNISON’S OPERATIONS AMONG THE REBELS. Sepaisa, Mo., Jan, 9, 1862.

The rebels in Warrensburg are reported to be ina high state of excitement consequent upon the near approach of Jennison, as thoy well know that they have committed all sorts of outrages on the quiet and peaceful Union men of that county, and that if justice be meted to them their houses will be burnt. Ward Cockerell has gone to Price's camp, with about three hundred men. Fight Betw: Rebel Batteries—-Reported Capture of Rebel Arms off Galveston, &. Caicaco, Jan. 10, 1862.

It is reported and believed that General Jackson has made his appearance before Romney, with the intention of making ap attack on General Kelly. It is probable that General Kelly will be sufficiently strengthened before the attack is made, which will result in a signal defeat to the enemy. BRILLIANT SKIRMISH WITH THE REBEL JACKSON'S ADVANCE GUARD. Wasmnatow,, Jan. 10, 1862. ‘The skirmish of Captain Russell, at Bath, was a bril- Nant affair, He had been detailed from General Kelly’s command, with two regiments of infantry and two squad- rons of cavalry, and was stationed at Bath. On the ap- proach of General Jackson, in command of six or eight thousand rebeis, his scouts gave him notice. He was six miles from the Potomac river. He took the infantry out about two miles, and posted them as skirmishers in a dense wood. The cavalry was left to engage the advance of the enemy. An exchange of shots was the conse- quence, and the enemy’s advance, under Turner Ashby? of guerilla notoriety, came on and fell into the ambush. Captain Russell lost seven horses, and captured thirteen of the enemy's, and retired with his whole force across the Potomac, with the loss of only two men, who were drowned in crossing. ‘This is considered one of the most brilliant mancuvres in the war, It is next, at least, to that of General Sigel. NEWS: FROM THE STATE CAPITAL: The Excitement Over the Formation of the Committees—Rumors in Regard to the Chairmen of the House Commit- tees—An Effort to Prevent the District Attorney from Furnishing the Evidence Calted For—Bills Introduced—Investi- gation of the Shoddy Transactions of the State Military Board—The Squirm- ing That it Has Caused—The Govern- or’s Levee, d&c. Axnany, Jan. 10, 1862. The all-absorbing question in political circles here is the arrangement of the committees. There is an enormous pressure brought to bear on Mr. Raymond to make Mr. Alvord chairman of the Committee on Cities and Villages, the committee to which 1s referred all the New York jobs. The present indications, however, are that Mr. Rice, of Cattaraugus, will be chairman of that commit- tee, and Alyord placed at the head of the Com- mittee on Canals, The question is mot as yet settled, and probably will not be before Monday next, and the great pressure for Alvord may secure his appoint- ment; but at present there is but little prospect of it- ‘Tho question is unquestionably decided that the chairman of that committee will comefrom the country. Hulburd, of St. Lawrence, will donbtless be the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, although some other person is as likely to be chosen ashe is; for it is known that Mr. Raymond does not believe anything in the par- liameutary usage of appointing the strongest competitor jn the caucus to that position, which is invariably fol- lowed by Speakers of the Assembly except by Raymond himself. If, therefore, Mr. Hulburd is appointed it will not be on parliamentary grounds, but upon other conside- rations. Lemuel Stetson, of Clinton, will doubtless be hairman of the Judiciary Committee; Pierce, of Ulster, of Militia; Dutcher, of Dutchess, of Railroads, and Royal Phelps of Commerce aud Navigation, No- thing positive can be told as to any of them, jor none of the committees haye been ar- ranged. Other matters have #0 engrossed the attention of the Speaker that he has not had time to con. sider it. There is at present considerable talk of divid- ing the Committee on Cities and Villages, making a con mittee on cities und auother on villages, for the purpore ot relieving these members who are charged with the duty of consiering the bills referred to it. Lieutenant Governor Campbe!! has been called home on account of the death of his father-in-law, and will not return before next Tuesday, and will doubtless prepare his committees during his absence, and thus avoid the troublesome bores. Thcre will probably be two mem- bers on the Committee on Cities and Villages of the Senate from the city of New York, as Lieut. Gov. Campbell is known to make his s ons according to the antece cents of the Senators and their fiiness for the position; and inasmuch as Senator Bradley in his career in the Common Council left an unbiemished record, ho will un- doubtedly be one of those chosen; but at present writing itis impossib!e to say who the other willbe. As it is in the House, there is a great desire to be upon that committee; and since this is the only committee in either house that the lobby appear interested tm, it is ae suppose that they have some rich things lying ack. ‘The resolution of Mr. Pierce, calling upon the District Attorney to communicate to ‘the House the evidence taken before the Grant Jury on the investigation Inst simamer. still causes a great deal of fluttering among the woumted birds, and a desperate effort is being made to induce the District Attorney not to regpend, ia hopes, in that way, of suppressing the evidence, which, if laid before the House, will naturally result in excluding some parties from the floor of that body. I hardly be- lieve that the District Attorney will listen to their importuning. ‘There was no quorum in the Senate this morning; con- sequently that body adjourned over until Monday night. Some bills were noticed and introduced in the Assembly this morning. The original Jacobs, the Passenger and Baggage bill, turned up among the number. Two or three bills relating to insurance companies we: nted: one providing that the provisions of the law chartering insurance com- panies should apply to al! foreign compauies, individuals or associations, whether incorporated or uot, aud another that no insurauce company shoul! divide more than one- tenth of the amount of the capital stock among the stocl holders. Both of these bills apparently come from New York insurance meu. ‘The introduction of tho resolution by Mr. Mc Kings county , reterring so much of the Governor as relates t) the transactions of the Military Board toa select committee, with power to gend for persons and paler, Seems to set very noplensan! hy of several partics, and it is amusin, pious World commenced to desirous of forestalling public ¢ ber the developem investigation, and t that tin those jobs,no persons can fail to draw his len, of Mess ige inferences from the squirming of that payer at the bare mention of an investigation as to the cause of their un- easiness. ‘There is not the slightest question of doubt but that there was a great deal of gottenness in the manaye- ment of the coutracis by.come of the members of the Board, anc it is publicly Asaown that applications have been tuade by friends of some of the members of the Board to thore who had eoutracts, representing them- selves as agents of soand 80, and claiming their percentage, A thorough and rigid investigation wili bring to the sur- face many fucts that the public at large little dream ex ist.

COLONEL SAMUEL COLT, OF HARTFORD, CONN. ‘The telegraph announced yesterday the death of Colonel Samuel Colt, at Hartford, Conn. Mr. Colt was born in the city in which he died on the 19th of July, 1814. He was the inventor of the celebrated revolving pistol, the wood- @u mode! of which, it is stated, was made on board a ves- sel while the inventor was on a voyage to Calcutta in 1829. He received his first patent in 1835, and established factory in Paterson, N. J., but met with indifferent suc- cess. He subsequently disposed of his right to manufac- ture revolving firearms, and, as it was gonerally under- stood at the time, expended the in a vain at- tempt to clear his brother, John C. Colt, of the charge of homicide, with which he had been found guilty for killing printer by the name of Adams, at his (Colt’s) rooms, corner of Broadway and Chambers street. Colonel Colt afterwards invented a submarine torpedo, which was in- tended tor the destruction of vessels. He gave two exhi- tious of the power of his new invention in the bay ol! Castle Garden, by blowing up first a schooner and atter- wads @ large brig. He then established a line of tele- graph between this city and and Sandy Hook and Mon- tauk, which was intended to announce the arrival of v sels, and to facilitate the despatch of important foreign news; but this enterprise failed, and Mr. Colt becamo very much reduced in circumstances. A year or two later he again got possession of his patent for the revolving pistol, and with the assistance of a few capitalists who joined hin a company was formed, and a manufactory established at Hartford, which has proved very ssful, not only in the making of pistols, bat in the mantacture of a revolving rifle, which was also the invention of Mr. Colt, The factory at the present time is supposed to be worth nearly five millions of dollars, Mr. Colt also leaves @ large landed estate, and was no doubt one of the most weaithy men in New England. Mr. Paren Van Buskink, of Bergen county, New Jorsey, died recently, at the residence of a granddaughter, in Western NewYork, at the advanced age cf ninety-bine years, Ho was in receipt of a pension from the United Ftates government, having served as a soldier and forage master in the Revolutionary army. Many of his descen- dants reside in Washington township, Bergen county. General Shiclds and the Union. The friends of Senator Meliougall, of California, in order to sustain his charges against General Shields, havo republished the following lettor, addressed by the General to the Amador Breckinridge Club in October, 1860 :— Saw Francisoo, Cal, Oct. 10, 1860, Grytixmes—aAccept my thanks for your polite note enclosing rcsolutions of the Jackson Breckinridge Club, inviting me to visit Jackson and address the people on the political topics of the day. I may as well say at once that I mean to take no active part in the present political contest in California. Iam here to try to recruit my health, and to do this at all I must abstain from public excitement. Besides, I must, frankly state that I am sick and tired of public life, and the present condi- tion of the democratic party is not calculated to remove this feeling. But as total silence on my part, in the midst of party distraction, might subject me to a charge of indifference, I beg leave to assure you, and the mem- bers of the club, that, so far from bemg indifferent, 1am. at this very time deeply and seriously concerned about the condition of the country. Ido not speak of danger to our institutions—because I would only be laughed to scorn by the hight and frivolous, and vain and seitish, if Idid—but of genoral political demoratization, which is rendering the struggle of parties in this country almost as shamefully selfish as the wretched struggles of de- generated factions in Me In this state of affsirs, which I see no way just now to improve, and cannot help but think critical, I have carefully and thoughtfully cousidercd tho course which duty enjoins me to take, and hore it is in a few words: 1. I will never help to impose a Northern man on the South as President, unless Iam reasonably satisfied that he is acceptable to a majority of the Southern people. 2. If the politic] contest degenerates into a sectional stroggle, which the present derangement a3 well as the prospective rearrangement of the political parties # to poit.t to, my part will be taken with the South. —the South is acting in self-defence. It is strug- 1% solely and simply to preserve its own institutions, but not to disturb the institutions of the North, while the struggle in the North is not to improve Northern in- stitutions, but to interfere with the institutions of the the insolent injugtice and inequality of such a will décide me without hesitation to wet with the aa Soutl 3. T would personally profer Stephen A. Douglas to any other man in the United States for President, it he were acceptable to « majority of the Southern people, or—what is very much the same thing—was the agcepted cad. date of the united democratic party; but, to my great regret, he is not, and therefore J cannot support him in th's canvass, and in this T consult my views of duty and not my personal preference. This ca*ts me with John C. Breckiuridge, who, if he can do nothing more, may rally enougheto reconstruct the democratic party, These are my views frankly given; but as I have no feeling on the subject, Lurge them on no-one, and would keep them to myself but that my character obliges me to let my friencs know how I stand.
