BALTIMORE, March 3O.-The rebels burnt
the bridge on the railroad between New
bern and Beaufort, but it was in progress of
repair, and the road would soon be in Ope-
ration between the two places. SO far as
our informants knew, all of whom came
from Newbern, and had not been ut Beau
fort, 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. 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 towards Kingston, 80 miles on
the road towards GoldsbOro, and their
scouts frequently appeared in the vicinity
OF NeWbern.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
Thursday evening, Dec. 1lth.
But little firing took place between one and
three O'Clock THO afternoon, during which time
| all the available batteries were placed In posi-
tion. They then numbered hundred and
| seyenty-slx guns. At q given signal, all the
batteries opened on the city. The fire was ter
rible, but the rebel sharpshooters could not be
driven from their hiding places. The shot and
shell went crashing through the houses, In
many cases setting them on FIRE, causing q
dense smoke, which, together with the cxpio-
sion Of large quantity of powder, almost hid
| the city from view. r ..'Ia0 If. rIe.4
1t soon became evident that the bridges could
not be built, excepting by bold dash. Vol;
unteers were called for TO cross In small boats.
The order was no sooner given than hundreds
of braves stepped forward but all could not
| go. About hundred were selected. They
were soon on their way, while the artillery
threw perfect storm Of iron hail on the
opposite bank. They reached the opposite
shore but not without loss. With hxed bayo-
nets they rushed upon the enemy, killing sew
eral, and taking hundred and one prisoners,
who were safely landed on this side. ~ "a gfl,l
At halfpast four two bridges were finished
opposite the city, when the troops Immediately
began to cross over. The enemy were soon
driven from the city, back to their line of
works. ~. -...r- ~. ..H q .ulrg.
The two bridges In front of Gen. franklin
were successfully laid early in the day, but his
troops did not cross until the two upper ones
were ready. -7IIHa T,

Of the river to resist any attack that is likely

ing, and none In the afternoon, although their
works were In easy range. .. -. l-

Between thirty and forty houses were burnt,
