After leaving Goldsboro' on Monday evening the 18th
had jolly time all the way down. When we arri.4
we'd at Newbern, there were, hundreds ofboth sexes
at the depot who greeted US with long and contin-
ued cheers. Leaving Newbern we arrived at More
head City about o'clock, where We took the steam
boat Cora to Beaufort where we were comfortably
provided for by Mr. King Of the Front Street House,
and Mr.. Taylor of the Ocean House, where we re-
manned all night Tuesday morning. at o'clock,
we were marched on board the Cora again, and car
ried over to the Fort where we were qusrtered ex
pect for the summer. We found some fifteen or
twenty men already in possession of the Fort On
Wednesday moring our crowd were increased by the
Elm City Cadets, Capt Lewis, and the Neuse Cav

On Wednesday evening" Capt Grafton left the Fort
for Raleigh, leaving Capt Lewis. in command of the
Fort Wednesday night the Commander of the
Fort appointed by Gov. Ellis, arrived, Col. G. c.
Tew Of the Hillsboro' Military Academy. He took
command yesterday morning. He seems to be a
very pleasant and is very particular and precise
in giving orders to the soldiers On Tuesday, the
men were employed until dinner in getting their bag
gage &C., straight; after dinner we brought up tim
Der to make gun carriages until sunset; at sunset
we were paraded and the roll called and supper ar
nounced We ate supper and repaired to our quar-
tiers; at o'clock the drum was tapped for the ex-
tinction of lights. We then took our lodging for
the night on the soft side Of the floor. On Wednes
day we were employed mounting small guns in the
rear of the port holes. That night we lay on the
soft side of the floor again. On Thursday the ne
groes were employed in building Railroad from the
wharf to the Fort The soldiers were employed in
putting away arms, ammunition &C. Last night we
had mattresses to sleep on, and We slept very COM
fortab:y To-day we have been at work::putting old
gun carriages away and carrying cannon balls to the
bake ROOM Weare not prepared for our enemy yet.
We have but five guns mounted on the outside and
only four inside, before the port hole; if Lincoln
will only give us week or ten days. and he will
send us down lot of Yankees, we will treat them
to bloody graves. This morning the Wilson Militia,
Capt Barnes arrived numbering about forty men !;
there were about sixty negroes brought down on the
train last night This morning they were sent over
to Shackleford Banks to throw up battery there.
