ON the capture of Newbern, makes the fol-
lowing admissions: ? 'ia'a@ a. -..' o.
THE BATTLE OF NEwBERN.
Since affairs have become quoted down
to some extent, it seems to be admitted on
all hands that the first representations made
by parties who fled in the general panic
were greatly exaggerated. Indeed, it is
believed that the strength of the attacking
force has been considerably Overrated, and
we are unable to understand why, under
such circumstances, q more determined effort
was not made to prevent the disaster. The
fight on Friday was of very brief duration,
and the result shows that the artillerymen
sustained the brunt Of the battle, and suf-
fered severely. The public will desire to
hear something definite in regard to the
panic and fight of the militia, and the con.
duct of some of the officers; and we believe
that full developments will be made before
many days. ........ .........
Our troops fell back to Tuscarora, ten
miles from Newbern, where, it is understood,
they will make stand. General Gatin
was indisposed at the time of the fight, and
the command devolved upon General L. OBJ.
Branch. Our loss in killed, wounded, and
prisoners has dwindled down to about 300.
Most of the commissary stores at Newbern
were destroyed.
We learn that nest of traitors has been
discovered and broken up in Davidson,
North Carolina, and that fifty of the mum.
Der nave been set to Raleigh as prisoners.

Two other Yankee residents were killed
while attempting to escape from the place
in boats"
A VETO FROM JEFF. DAVIS.
We understand the President has vetoed
the bill creating Commanding General.
We are not advised of the reasons of his
objection; but we suppose it was ascertain
