The following item is all we L get from the Norfolk paper : ; THE BURNS1DE EXPEDITION. : We learn that some passengers have arrived here from El'zabcth City, who report that there are some thirty of the Burnside fleet in Pamlico Sound. This comes from authority likely to be well informed on the subject, and ve are forced to accept it as true. This news appears to have occasioned but little apprehension . in the counties bordering on the Sourtd, as the people are under the im pression that suffictent means have been adop ted to meet the eiiiergency; and. confidence seems.to be greatly inspired by the belief that the cfSciency of the fleet has been materially lessened by the late gale. .

What does it mean ? Is martial law declared here ? Who declared it ? Tlie military authori ties disclaimihaving done it,, and we have seen nothing to justify such a conclusion.- Everybody thinks what he pleases and is as muclTat lib erty to say what he pleases here, as anywhere in the State.' It is true a few individeals have been prevented ' foni-leaving here by railroad -r-that institution having' been surrendered ..to J the military, for the time being, for military purposes.' " . If to rcrstrajn mgn, who are subject to milita ry duty,1 and force them against their will to render such duty, is, necessarily, the re- suit of a declaration of martial law, then .mar tial law is certainly in force here, for such res traints and compulsions have' happened in a ..few -Instances, and but few.- As to the second paragraph above quoted, we give it up. The rhetoricaland orthograph ical constructions are both too hard for us. While Upon this subject, however, we beg leave very, respectfully to en'er our protest against certain restraints which have been ex ercised here recently. We have reference to the restraining of persons not subject to mili tary duty. Of coiurse it is- right, to force all ..men, subject. to duty to pei'foria . that duty, if force is .necessary, but persons who are exempt br lav as well as by every principal of com mon justice, Christianity and humanity, should be as free how as at any other time. There seems to be some d iff ere net of opinion as to who is released. Wo are neither a judge nor expounder of law, but;we do claim to have some idea of the leaning of language, and, af ter a careful' reading of thejMilitia Law of the State; wb conclude that if Ministers of the Gospe), and persons under eighteen and over j hfty years of age, are not exempt that there is no meaning m language. And it is perfect ly reasonable,- right and proper', that they should be, and we confess ..we. would suspect the intelhgen'e of any Legislative. body who would enact laws to the contrary. -. Any law that would force the gray, headed sires of our beloved old State into the ranks, who, with their stiffened, joints; and tottering franfes, are toplingover the brink, of the grave, after a long life of usefulness .to; their;'.c.ountry, would present an outrage upon .-Our, comrrion humanity, disgraceful and appalling to human sensibility.

Davis himself ' .... ....... i .. t -. on that subject, 44 no wisa husbandman will commit the rash act of grinding up his seed eorn." .; v As to the clergy, we hold without fear of successful contradiction, that to force them in to the service would be ah' act of gross injuf tica and a flagrant outrage upon our holy re ligion. It would be unjust, because the laws of the State deny them the privilege of legis lating. . If they cannot be. trusted to sit in the legislative halls of the State, then they should not be forced to bear amis, or, if to occupy seats in legislative bodies, would be degrading to their high ministerial functions, their posi tions in the ranks of the;soldiery of the county would be much more degrading, so that jus tice will not sanction the measure in eichcr case.'
