New York, March 10.
The following are the details of the battle
at Newbern, n. G.
Com Rowan was in command of the fleet
OF gun boats, and had sunken vessels, torpe-
does and other rebel Instructions to over
come and pass, but surmounted all with but
slight damage to only two of his fifteen YES
sells. Two brigs, three barks and nineteen
sghooners we're sunk by the rebels above two
rebel batteries The latter were silenced,
the sunken vessels passed, Old Glory be-
ing hoisted over the sienced batteries as our
forces went along.
This was on Saturday afternoon, and night
closed in. Sunday morning heavy fog set
in, but lifted and our boats passed up safely
and silenced Fort Thompson with its two
heavy columbiads. "Old Glory" was again
hoisted.
The Fort Ellis with nine guns was cap
tured after pretty brisk fighting, but the reb-
els fled in panic, and I" Old Glory" waved
over another rebel Fort. Only one Fort
was left to engage, and Newbern would be
at the mercy Of our troops; this was Fort
Lane. But the rebels had had enough of
the boats, and offered little ifany resistance,
and fed.
The rebels then fred large number of
scows with rosin and turpenune, intending
10 float them down and burn our gun boats,
but they got stuck and burnt away fuIlousiy
consuming only their own combustibles.
The gun boats then shelIed the depot and
railroad track, but our troops had then
crossed, and white flag was hoisied. Our
navy dil not lose minute.

Washington, March 10.
Gen. Burnside, in his official report, ssys
q NUT deter, for want OF time, detailed
account of the action. Ii is enough TO say
that after an engagement OF four hours, We
succeeded in carrying continuous line OF
field works Of over mile IN lergh, pro ect-
ed on the river bank by battery If IS hea-
Wy guns, and on the o poslte bank by line
Of redoubts OF over halt mile in length for
riiemen and field pieces, in the midst of
swamps and dense forests, which line of
works was defended by eight regiments of
in antry, five hundred cavalry, and three
batteries OF field artillery, of six gu:.s each.
The position was finally carried by most
gallant charge of our men, which enabled
US to gain the rear of the batteries between
this point and Newbern, which was done by
a rapid advance Of the entire force up the
main road and railroad, the naval fleet,
meantime, pushing its way up the river,
throwing their sho:s into the forts and in
front OF us.
The enemy after retreating in great con-
fusion, throwing away knapsacks, blankets,
| arms, s., fled across the railroad
bridge I'd country road, burned the form, r,
and destroyed the draw OF the latter, thus
preventing further pursuit. and causing de-
tention in occupying the town by our mill-

| take possession OF the town. The city was
set on 6le in many places by the retreatiug
rebels, but owing to the exertions OF the
naval off :ers, the remaining ciuzens were
induced 10 aid in extinguishing the flames,
so that bu, little harm has been done, Many
OF the citizens are now returning, and We are
now in quiet possession of the city. We have
captured the printing press aud shall at
once issue daily sheet. By this victory,
our combined force have captured eight bait
teries, containing forty-six heavy guns, and
three batteries OF light artillery Of six guns
each, making in all eixty-iour guns, two
steamboats,, a number Of sailing vessels, wag-
OBS, horses, a large quantity OF ammunition,
commlsssry and quarter masters stores,
forage, the entire camp equipage of the rebel
troops, a large quantity OF resin, 'turpentine,
cotton, &c. and over two hundred prisoners.
Our loss thus far ascertained will amount
to ninety one killed and 466 wounded, many
of them MORALLY. Among these, are some
of our most gallant officers and men.
The rebel loss is severe, but not not 80
great as our own. they being effectually COW
cred by their works.
