have the homer TO inform you that /
left Newbern for this place on the llth
in t., but that ow ing to the bad roads and
tht delays 10 my trains l did not reach
Southw est creek, FIVE miles from this town
until the afternoon of the 18th. The enc
nv WI as posted there, but by heavy artil
lery FIRE in front and vigorous infantry
attack on either flank, succeeded in fore
ing q passage and without much loss.
This morning advanced on this town
and found the enemy strongly posted at
deile through marsh, bordering on a
creek. The position was so well chosen
that very little Of our artillery conld be
brought to play. The main attack was
therefore made by the Infantry assisted by
few guns pushed forward into the road.
After FIVE hours hard fighting We sue
ceeded 10 driving the enemy from his po
siton. We followed him rapidly to The
river. The bridge over the Neuse river
was prepared for firing, and was fred il
six places, but we were so close behinC
them that we saved the bridge. The cue
my retreated principally by the Goldsbor'
and PainesvilIe roads. Their force wa
about 5000 men with twenty pieces c
artillery.
The result is that we have taken Kin'
ton, captured eleven pieces of artillery, tai
en- between 400 and 500 prisoners, az
found large amount of Qnartermaster

probably exceed 200 killed aud wounC
