companies of this regiment, under command of Col. John H. Richardson, arrived here at an early hour yesterday morning, by the Danville Railroad, from Western Virginia. They were escorted into the city by the Armory Band, and marched directly to their camp, near the reservoir. The first company of this regiment, the L. I. Blues, of Richmond, received a cordial welcome from the many personal friends of the members. They came in under the command of Lieut. Fred. Carter, their captain having been in Richmond for some weeks past attending to duties of an official character. We understand that the company will be entertained in the good old fashioned style (Blue Bowl included) on Christmas day, by the honorary members and others. After an arduous campaign in the mountains, such a reproduction of the jovial events of peaceful days will be doubly agreeable to the soldiers, and we wish them a merry time of it. The Wise Legion, we are informed, is under orders to proceed to Edenton, N. C.

C., in whose vicinity the company will be stationed for some time to come. No company in the service has for its members more gallant and brave men than are embraced in this company. They will do their duty, and their whole duty, if the enemy allow them the opportunity.

Latest from Edenton, N. C. the Yankees up the Chowan river — the militia of Chowan — refugees, &c., &c. Patersburg, Feb. 16. --The latest information from Edenton, via Suffolk, is to Thursday, at which time the Yankees were in quiet possession, and their pickets extended six miles in this direction. On Wednesday afternoon the Yankees ascended the Chowan river to Hally's Whart, eight miles from the month of the river. Finding nobody but a few negroes, they raised white flag and passed over to Coleraine, on the opposite side of the river. What they did at Coleraine is unknown. Col. Mitchell, militia commander of Chowan county, was at Edenton when the Yankees arrived, and conversed with a Yankee captain, and was assured that they did not intend to interfere with private property or disturb citizens not in arms. When Colonel Mitchell left Edenton, a few old cannon had been destroyed and some cotton removed to gunboats, but no other depredations had been com

The Burnside Expedition. Federal official Accounts of the Piratical invasion — a joint Proclamation--Com. Lynch's report. We copy from late Northern papers the official reports of the Federal vessels to Edenton, N. C., and the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal: Report of the Expedition to Edenton. United States Steamship Louisiana, Off Elizabeth City, N. C., Feb. 12, 1862. Sir --In obedience to your orders, I proceeded with this vessel, accompanied by the Underwriter, Lieutenant Commanding Jeffers; the Commodore Ferry, Lieutenant Commanding Husser, and the Lockwood, Acting Master Graves commanding for the city of Edenton, west end of Albemarle Sound.

At ten A. M. we

ounced life extinct. The body was then cut down and placed in the coffin, to be delivered to his family. Thus has Dr. David M. Wright paid the forfeit of his life for shooting, in cold blood, Lieut. Sanborn, of the United States colored troops, in the early part of July last. Since the commission of the deed he has endeavored to justify himself in it. He was a man of strong Southern feelings, and this, in a measure, may have prompted him to commit the act. He came to the city from Edenton, N. C., about twenty-five years ago, and commenced the practice of medicine, in which he was very successful until the occupation of this city by our troops. In appearance he may be described as being rather tall, slightly bent in the shoulders, with a large frame, though somewhat lean; his eyes dark, with heavy brows, long hair, which extended to the shoulders, of the same color as his moustache and goatee, which were iron gray, but evidently in his younger days very black. The family which

Leach, of North Carolina, presented resolutions condemning the views expressed by Mr. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State, in the speech delivered by him in this city on the 10th instant, as derogatory to his position, as reflecting on Congress, and as insulting to public opinion; and moved that the resolution be laid on the table and printed. The motion being divided, the resolutions were laid on the table, but the motion to print was rejected — ayes, 24; na
