paper like medium sized book is better than larger

From NeWbern.

1t is difficult to get reliable news from this quar-
gion it is indscreet to speak.
rumor prevails that Gen. Burnside had left
Newborn with most Of his troops, leaving only 900
at that place. We do not, however, endorse the
rumor.
Various accounts are given of the conduct Of the
Yankees at Newbern, but we have no means of as
certaining their truth or falsity We learn that 81
of our wounded have been removed to Washington
and would be carried up to Tarboro. Whether this
is all our wounded or not we cannot say. We only
hear of about 40 Of our men being killed. Our
whole loss in killed, wounded and prisoners cannot
exceed 800, if these rumors be true 1t is not yet
fully ascertained that our prisoners have been pa
rolled.
We learn that Capt. Rand is uninjured and that
he has written to his wife, giving the following ac
count of the killed, wounded, and prisoners in his
company:

Major ". CASTOR Lewis.

The different accounts of the battle of Newborn
in the Standard, have not mentioned an officer who
distinguished himself in that affair, for determined
bravery and gallant conduct, -Major W. CASTOR
Lewis, of the SD North Carolina Troops, (Avery's
regimcnt.) Major Lewis led seperate command
during the battle, consisting Of four companies the
left wing Of the regiment. The right Of his com.
mand rested the railroad, the left left entire
ly unprotected by the retreat of the militia and Col
Sinclairs regiment-there being distance of four
hundred yards between Lewis's left and Col Camp
bells regiment. The enemy poured into this gap
and turned Lewiss left flank, whereupon he changed
his front. and three separate times drove them from
the railroad embankment, where they had taken po-
sition Each time they returned with heavy reil-
forcements-the last time with three or four reg.
ments, and attacked him by front and flank. After
all on the left had retreated-after his command
had been exposed to most severe fire for three
hours and half without cessation-aftcr having
been eniladed on both tanks for nearly an hour
seeing Yankee regiment forming in line Of battle
in his rear, Major Lewis ordered bis men to pour
on the advancing foe last volley and retreat A.
though his four companies lost as many killed aud
wounded as any regiment engaged, (about twenty
five known to be killed) he brought off his men in
good order, behaving with the same GOODNESS and
bravery which he exhibited when fighting as Lieu
tenant in the Edgecombe Guards, in the battle OF
Bethel.
The newspaper reports of the battle of Newbern
are partial, and the friends Of those engaged ask
suspension of the public judgment until the efieiu.
reports are published.
