Gen. Burnside's Expedition


Capture of Beaufort, N. C.

NEW YORK, March 19. – The Commercial Advertiser says its correspondent had permission from Gen. Burnside to say that an expedition would soon leave for Beaufort, N. C., strong enough to overcome all obstacles, and the place is probably captured before this.  Gen. Butler and staff are still reported at Hilton Head, Port Royal.
