Fort Monroe, Feb. 11. By a fi;ig of truce to-d;iy we learn the completo success of the Burnsido expedition. The first news of tbo defeat arrived at Norfolk on Sunday uftcrnoon. It caused great excucmont. Tho previoiis news was verv satisfaotory, Etatiog that the Yaukees had been allowed to vanee for the purpose of drawing Ihem . into a trap. Tho rebel forco on tbo Mand is supposed to havo boen little over three thousand fighting men. Gen. Wi.-e vvas ill at Nag's Head, , and was not present dnring the engagement. When tho situation became dangeroua he was romoved to Norfolk. Gen. Hugor telegraphed to Richmond i that only fifty on the Lsland eseaped. The Ricbmnod Examiner, this mornmg, in a leading editorial says : ': The loss of our entire anny on Roanoke lsland is certainly the most piinful ' event of the war. The inlelligence of yesterday by lelegraph is iully confirmed. Tvvo thousand five hundred brave troops on an lsland in the sound ' were exposed to all the force of the : Burnside flet-t. They resrsted witb i the inost determined courage, but when fifteen thousand Federal troopa ■ were landed agarnst them, rutreat being ent off by the surrounding elements, tbuy were forced to snrreuder. This j ís a repetition of the üatteras affair on a largo scale." Norfolk, 10th.-The latest nows states that dipt. O. Jennings Wiso, son of Governor Wise, was shot through the hip and disabled, though his wound is not mortal. Major Lnwson and Lieut Miller wero mortally wounded. About 300 Confedérales wero killed. The woonded number over 1,000. The number of Yankees wounded is about the samo. A late arrival this morning says that Elizabeth City luis been shelled and burned by the Yankees, and that tho enemy was pnrsuing on to Edenton. Gen. "Wise has not yet arrived at Norfolk. The following, the very latest, we copy from the Norfolk Day Bool : "A courier arrived here yesterday P M ., about three o'clock, from whom we gather the following information : Tho enemy advanced in full force upon Elizabeth City yesterday aboul seven o'clock, and began an attaek upon that place. Tho citizens finding re.-istance vain, evacuated the place, but beforu doing so, they set fire to the town, and when our informant lelt, it was still in flames. We havo also to record the capture by the enemy oí all our little fleet ex cept the Fanny or Forest, our informant ÜOt certain which. This ui u ded the enemy. She was pursued, howevcr, and fears are entertained that sho was captured. It is said that before our boats surrondered, they were abandoned, and that thoir crows sueeeeded in making their escape, If so we are at a loss to conjecture why the boats wero not fired beloro they were abundoned. The disaster to our littie ftatot is attributed to the factthat ba ving exhaus ted their supply of coal and ummunition, they proceeded to Elizubuth City for the purpose oí obtaining eupplies. Every effbrt was mado to obtain coal but without success, and the boata could not, therefore, return to the is land and lend any assistauce whatever to our foroos. All the details, as publii-hed, with reference to the capturo of Koannke Ilat)d, are coiitirmed by tho aourier, who représenle our loes at three hundred killed and wounded, and that of tho enemy at not less than one thousand killed. Great havoc was made among tho enemy. When coming upthe road loading to the fort, our eoldiers broujrlit to bear upon the men t-A'o 32 pounders, and at every firo thoir ranks wero terribly t'ninncu. The places of tho fallen, howevor, wero quickly fillod. Tho Park Point battery was manned by the Richmond Blues, and most nobly did they defond it. During tho conflict they were attacked by a whole regiment ot Zouav.s, and though completely ovurpowered, they Btood their ground. They did not yield a foot till all but eeven of them had fallen bleeding to tho ground. Thero is good roason to beliave that had Col. Henningsen, with his artillery, been on the lsland, it would not havo been forced to surrender. It is reportud one regiment from Massachusetw was badly cut up, but it is impossible to ascertain which of the five it was that were attachod to the expedition. All the Southern papers received today are unanimous in admitting a completo victory for our troops, and in saying the loss of the Island is a very Bonousone. The news received to-day occasions great excitement at Old Point. A Bteamer with official dispatches from General Burnsido is hourly expected. The prisoners captured, numbering at least two thousand, will bo hore in a few days. JS3T A supper was given to the members of the Legislatura and the Constitutionnl Convention, by the citizeDS of Wheeling, on Wednesday evening of last week. Gen.
