A Grand Cleaning out of l':icleun Bird. ' We mentioned in Saturday's issue, that st guard on Muddy street had been 6hot in the leg by some murderous as sassin daring Friday night. We learn that the guard's name was Mi chel J. Galvin, of Co. C, 23d Itegt. JI. V. After he was shot he fired at his assailant, reloadod and fired his 6econd ronnd, captured one prisoner, lirid waj muking fast to tho second, when the sergeant of the guard with i 6quad made his appearance and re- lieved him. -The s uit was fired from the house near tho tannery. ': This being tho fourth attempt to jnurder guards stationed as much to protect property as to put down re bellion and from tho kmc quarter treated much excitement, ami we) learn that Gen. Foster, having become tired of this mode of doing business, concluded to put an effectual stop to 1iId irmrrlnrnua intent nf pv!l fliflirifiod they wore actively engaged during the night in searching the habitations in the neighborhood, and making arrests . - . ee . of suspicious icters, whom they lodged in jail. On tlio morning of Saturday, about Vo o'clock, the 23d Eegunent fell into line .under their officers, and inarched to the Bccne of the assassin's operations. On arriving at tho locality, Gen. Fos ter and Col. Kurtz being present, the men acting, under ordei3, proceeded with orderly regularity to remove the furniture frorrl the domicilii thereabouts. Wo looked in vain for anything that would savor of disrespect or ungentle manly deportment towards the female members. of the families. After they were removed, and guards stationed over the furniture, the work of demol ition commenced. In an incredibly short 6paco of time 8ix or soven of the quarters adjacent were levelled to the dust, but the old ' homestead held out stoutly, being very substantially built, but finally it had to yield, and nmid a cloud of lime dust, it came tumbling . to the ground, by aid of tho gallant boys of the regiment. When tho main building was demol ished, the welkin rang with tho cheers " of the multitude assembled, tho band struck up tho well known and favorite f air of "I5ully for You," and other pop ular patriotic innw. A, A well finished ritle and two double barrelled shot guns, loaded and copi ed, were found in tho house when the work of destruction commenced. Tt win a r.p.vere lesson, as well as summary, but it was fully justified by the exigencies of the occasion. All I high-minded men, even among the misguided adherents of the causa of the southern skedadderacy, among us, dcuflunco the act of shooting, as cow- ardly villainy, and declare that the destruction of these domicils is a righteous judgment upon their inhab itants for harboring such miscreants in human form. We hear but 0110 universal opinion of commendation at the vigorous meas ures taken to put a 6top to such pro ceedings; alike from unionists and confederates. We are heartily glad that tho commanding officer of the Federal forces in thic Department, has I declared that these prowling cutthroats fchall know who their masters are, and has resolved to learn them better man ncrs. It is high time it was done, and wo rejuico at tho disposition thus evinced. It is 11 pleasure- to know, that if we must fight, we can meet an honest, manly foe, face to face, by hroad day lghr, and wo can respect a man for so doing, even if n rebel claims It, but when a man coolly and deliberately, in the still watches of the night, shoots down the man who is stationed to watch and protect his property and person, we l i nk ha dost-ru th 1,.:' . wini o. tntern-: itrartrre jrtj as Jjv g&jaui, and It is to bo hoped that among the nu merous arreeta made, the guilty man is caught. If 8.0, we shall have the pleasure of seei;ig a hanging phortl In the mean time, we hope for a lull I in the insults that are being heaped by his being on the samo side in pcli npon Union men here. That game ties. The government wants more too, is about played out, and an ef fectual sto) will be shortly put to it, if it is not voluntarily desisted from, 11 1 .ii A SMCl-CMjflll IvI'COllH'lilUIU'C. On Friday last, towards nightfall, an expedition consisting of cavalry, ar lillery and infantry, left this city for Trenton, a point setae 21' miles inland, under tho command of Col. Loh, of the Mass. 27th. They reached Deep Of, ly about D o'clock, P. M., where tilt bivouacked for tho night. At i 1-2 o'clock, Saturday morning they were again on the inarch. On arriving near tho fork of the road leading to Kins ton, about three miles this sido of Tren ton, tho cavalry made a charge upon some rebel horsemen, fired one volley, killed one man, when tho 'rebiles' skee daddled wltii their usual agility. Here a battery was stationed with a I'orco of infantry, to guard against surprises from Kinston. When near Trenton the cavalry made another charge rpon tho bridge letvMn.fiutnTreiiton, which giii&hcd, repaired, and the whole force hnarched into the pleasant village of .1 . MM .. - ...,..!.... Trenton. There had been a cavalry rendezvous about six miles. from tlii place, towards Pollocksville, where ac- :onimodations were made for about a hundred horses which constituted the rebel forco here. The halfdozon stores had been completely emptied of their contents before the arrival of the Fed eral forces, but the inhabitants re- maineu. On Saturday night, the Federals left for the rebel 'head-ipiarters, about six miles distant from Treiiton. On tlieir way -thither they captured six con scripts, who were on their way to join their company at Trenton. Tin y were not at all displeased at their capture. Near Pollocks villo they captured a fighting Parson, who take. his turn as a"rcbile" vidette. At Polloeksville they learned that afler leaving Tren ton, some vandal rebel burned the bridge over the Trent. At Pollocksville, on Sunday, some rascal burned a mill filled with grain, contrary to Col. Leu's orders. An at tempt Was also mado to fire a dwelling house, which was extinguished by the federal troops. On Saturday, a foraging party 0! six cavalry connected with the expe dition, were surrounded, by rebels near Polloeksvillc, and two shot dead. It is thought that the minister cap tured and brought in, was among the rebel assailants. fln tvitni'.l.nv. na tome 'lliron or four siragglors were following to join their comiijands, just this side of tho Kins ton road, near Trenton, they heard '.he rebel refugees coiniffg, when the strag glers proceeded to ambuscade the road, and caplur.od two of them, finely mounted. Tho expedition arrived home on Sunday night, without any, mishaps, having successfully accomplished the object of tho General coiniiinudiug, who dispatched them. Col.

Mr Dkah Joy : A per agreement, I journulizo for your benefit, though I fear you will hardly have patience to road it. With l-iad" hearts tho passengers gu'h erd on board the steam packet Albany at 5 a. M. When your friend arrived on board, ho found the state rooms, berths, sofas, lounges, divans, chairs, and stools oeupied by ft heterogoneous whm of bipeds one lady only graced Iho scene, and she from our4!ored sistem. On inquiry I found wo were ready to sail punclunllat 5 a. m. Hirordiiig to tho orders of your most excellent Quartermaster S , hu! tho butdicr had neglected to briu the beef. This detained us 30 minutes, but the beef csme, and at 5.30 a. m. tho lines were cast off and nt the tamo tiijio I no ticed several of our friends rush down the wharf with fearful impetuosity, to give the hut adieu, and among them I saw a portly merchant of Yc Xicnaloriili. The polite and attcnlivo iMr. C., from the Div.

For my part i wished she was to be our advance guard to the fearful wah. However,' she dropped the tow line above tho barricade, and wo inwardly said good-bye. Could you, my dear Joy, have seen the moi'tl eyes of the pnroM ojjwen and foldicrs as the spires and gilded domed of Newborn, one by one sunk into the horizon, you could have cried with Uiclmrd of old "A Ilorso! A Horse !"&e. It is a great trial to the sick from our army to bo obliged to leave the tented field and tho glory to bo won there, mid go to the Northern Hospiinls, and for one I am glad our worthy President is lo hnvo the hospitals near the various divisions of tho army. From Cha-ley A.'s kind responses to my queries, I am enabled to give you the Sound distances, and our running time, which you have herewith.

He says I hey must be the edvanco guard pf the Union army, because if the accursed rebellion makes another forward movement, Mb first step .nil he upon the soil of their Slate.
