"the Work Goes Bravely On."

We give place to the details of tho gun-boat cxpjdition up the Tonnessee river, tho capture of Fort Ileury, the progresa of the guuboats up tbc rivcr into Alabama, etc. The most gralifying features of this news, is, that without mach shedding of blood a road for the federal troops bas been opened into tho hcart of the rebel confederacy, and that the expedition was joyfully welcomed all along the Tonnesse River. Fort Henry, recently captured by the Federal gun-boats, is on the east side of the Tenness'ee rivcr, about 55 miles froiu its mouth, and just south of the Kontucky line. It is tho only rebel fortificaron on tho river, and tho way is clear for our gun-boats to Florence, Alabaina, tho bead of stcamboat navig;tion, 200 miles from Ohio; and ia fact the guu-boat Conestoga is already reported as having peuetrated iuto Sccessia as far as that pomt, clearing the river of all rebel boats. Fort Donelson, now invested by the Federd troops, if not already taken, is on the Cumberland river about 12 miles cast of Fort Henry. Once in our possession, Nashvillo, the capital of Tenuessee, is at the mercy of a Federal gun-boat üeet.

Elizubeth City is atgthe boad of Pasquotauk river,Jun arm of Albennarle Sound, and is the shire town of the county ot the pame name. I', is or.ly 40 rniles from 1 folk, and near the lower end of tho ' tnal SwaiBp.Uanal Edpnton, reported threatenod by tho federal troop?, ia on tlie east side of Chowan river, near its junction with Albcrmarlo Sound. - It has a population oí' about 2000. - By the Chowan livor tho federal guuboats can penétrate interior withifi 20 miles of tho Rdilroad teadiog from Norfolk 6outh,at its junction with the Norfilk and Petersburg Railroad. Burnsido has men onough, with tho aid of bis gun-boats, to bold hi.s position agiiinst any forco the rebela can send against him, aud tho roal strategioul advantages to accruo from his success can hardly be estimatcd.
