III. johnson, OF the 23d Massachusetts, Regi-
nleni, came passenger by the steamer Com
inodore. From him we gather the following
interesting particulars
Our troops under Gen. Burnside, landed on
Thursday evening, near the mouth Of Sabine
Creek on the west eide Of Neuse River, fifteen
miles below Newberne Owing TO a dense
fog tie naval vessels did not participate in this
Ggbt
Earlv on Friday morning. the fight COM
menced, Our troops advanced along the coun-
try road running parallel with the Neuse Riy-
or. but mile or two in the rear. The road
was skirtei on the west side by railroad and
dense swamp. All along the river side were a
series Of batteries which were taken by our
troops one after another, after some bloody
hand to hand contests. Our troops were d.
vided into three brigodes, under Gems Reno,
Foster and Parks
We advanced gradually, the enemy desert
ing their guns until we reached line Of earth
works extending across the road from the riv-
or to the swamp on the west, q distance Of
some two miles. These earth works were very
strong; they were located about two miles
south of Newborn. and between them aud the
city ran the river trench The country road
and the railroad both passed through these
works and crossed into tha city by bridges
To front Of these works the rebels had felled
large number OF trees forming almost i'm
penatrabIe abattis. Here the flying rebels
were rallied, and made, tor a while. despcr

IN their retreat
The rebels burnt the bridge communicating
with the town, over which the country road
and railroad ran. As they had their trains Of
ears in their rear just across the bridge, they
OF course were able to carry off their wounded
and dead Their loss is, therefore, not Ger
eainly known; but it mnst have been severe.
Before our troops reached this last work they
encountered another which was deserted before
ehCy came up 1t was in trout Of this last for

The force of the rebels Is supposed to have
been about 5000. We captured number of

Just as the battle terminated the fog lifted
and enabled cur guuboats, which had been
waiting for an opportunity to participate in
the fight, to come up the river, and our troops
were furnished with means of Transportation
across the river to Newbcrn.
The rebels attempted to fire the town on
their retreat, but were prevented by ciIizens
who extinguishod the flames as fast as they
we're started by soldiers.
None of our Generals or staff officers were
killed or wounded. We captured from 30 TO
20 cannon. The officers of the rebels left
their baggage behind, and the men threw away
everything. The fight terminated at z. n.
