The Corean Expedition. The Navy Department at Washington have received from Admiral Rogers, with his official dispatches concerning the Fleet's operations, a very large Album, containing about fifty Photographs, illustrations of Corean Scenery and people, including the first fort captured on the 10th of June; interior view of the second fort captured; a Corean camp; a Corean magazine; United States vessels of war conveying the army on their advance upon the Corean forts; a view at the seashore, showing the line of march followed by United States troops; interior view of a fort, showing the dead and mangled bodies of Coreans killed by shells from the United States fleet; exterior of the same, showing a number of dead Coreans; interior of the Corean commander-in-chiefs headquarters, showing a number of slain and mangled Corean men and women, and similar scenes.*

* Nearly all of the above, through the enterprise of Frank Leslie, have been reproduced, since the above was In type, in his excellent illustrated paper,
