BURNSIDE AT BEAUFORT.
Fort Macon Holding Out.


FoRr MONROE, March 29.-All quiet here.
No Merrimac demonstrations vet The steam
er Suwannee has arrived from Newbern; all
quiet there. General Burnside had gone 10
Beaufort, and taken quiet possession of the
place. There was no resistance whatever,
and no burning OF property. Fort Macon was
still occupied by the rebels, from three hun.
dred to five hundred in number, but they
were entirely cut off and must soon surrender
BALTIMORE, March 30.-The rebels burnt
the bridge on the railroad between Newbern
and Beaufort, but it was in process of repair,
and the road would soon be in operation be.
tween the two places. So far as our inform-
ants know, all of whom came from Newbern,
and had not been at Beaufort, there was no
destruction OF property at the latter place, and
large majority of the citizens remained
quietly in their homes on the approach of the
federal forces. All the rebel soldiers in the
vicinity shut themselves up in Fort Macon.
Their numbers were variousy represented by
the citizens of Beaufort at from 800 to 600
men. The fort was said to be but slightly
provisioned, and ii was not believed it could
hold out more than week. Its ultimate cap
ture is OF course matter of certainty. Gen.
Burnside was at Beaufort
Perfect order reigned at Newbern, and
number of citizens had returned to the place
Gen. Foster was military governor of the city.
The rebels were believed to be in strong force
toward Kingston, thirty five miles on the
road to Goldsborough, and their scouts fire..
quently appeared in the vicinity of Newbern.
The expedition to Washington, N. c., was
successful. 1t consisted Of about one thou.

cy under Capt. Weston--where he has
done himself, and the state, honor by his
invaluable services. In view of these
services in Virginia and his marked
character and fit qualifications for this
branch of the service, he was detailed to
make this necessary enlistment for the
filing up of his company. His success
has been Just what we should have ex-

obtained in the field, he has secured the
services of so of the best men in Vermont

The Washington correspondent Of the
Tribune, under date of September rs,
says in relation to the report of another
draft:
"It is reported, we know not upon how
good authority, that the President intends
to issue orders for an additional draft, in
order to bring the number of men in the
field up to a million. If this be so, it is
for the Governors of the loyal states to
say whether the orders shall be executed
according to their tenor. 1t is the Gov
errors who have delayed the enforcement
of the previous draft, and they alone can
make orders Of this description ,effectual.
Upon them too, rests the responsibility
of taking measures to fill up the old regi-
ments. 1t is believed that both these
matters have been under consideration in
the convention of governors at Altoona.

The Smelling of Vicksburg.

MEMPHIS, June 6.-The ram Lioness has
arrived from Vicksburg with adyices of the
I'd. The canal across Point Land, opposite
Vicksburg, is nearly completed Negro
workmcn were collected from the various
plantations in the vicinity. In all cases gov
ernment receipts are given them. Several
thousand are engaged, and it is supposed that
when the ditch is finished the river would cut
wide channel during high water and forever
leave Vicksburg an inland village Inc
bombardment is kept up at regular intervals
from both fleets. Com. Davis having arrived,
and the rebel batteries still replying occa-
sonally, it was believed that the rebel works
would be stormed on the 4th. There is every
reason to believe the city has already fallen.
The city is said not to be so daddy damaged
as was first stated. All non-combatants were
previously removed. The rebel force is said
to be lG, 900 strong. A story has reached the
fleet that several hundred rebels were killed
by the explosion of shells.
