omoial Report of Gen. Foster.

WASHINGTON, June q.
The following official report has been re-
ceived at the headquarters of the army:
HEADQUARTERS 18TH ARMY CORPS,
Newbern, N. c., June 2.
Maj. Gen. Halleck, Commander-in-C Chief
General-Reierring to my brief report of May
22d, have the honor to report that, learning
from Col. j. Richster Jones, commanding the
outposts, that be deemed it possible to capture
the enemys outposts laying at Gum Swamp,
eight miles from Kinston, ordered Col. Lees
brigade, three pieces of Bogg's battery, and a
battalion of cavalry TO report to him. Col
Jones ordered the 9Th, 25th and 46th Massa-
chusetts, with artillery and cavalry, under the
command of Col. Person, TO advance up the
railroad and Dover road to attack the enemys
works in front, while the 5Sth Pennsylvania
and 9th Massachusetts,, under command of
Col. Jones, took path through the swamp to
reach the rear of the enemys position.
The main column, under Col. Pierson, met
the enemy's pickets at daylight on the 22d,
and driving them in, commenced an attack in
front. Col Jones with his command, owing
to the character of the road they had taken,
and the men having to 90 by single file, did
not arrive at the desired place until o'clock
A. NJ. On arriving in the rear of the enemy's
position, Col. Jones opened fire and advanced.
The enemy fired few desultory volleys, and
then broke and fed in great confusion, taking
to the swamps and escaping by paths known
only to them.
On hearing the firing of Col Jones' COM
: mand Col. Pierson advanced his command and
entered the works in front. After securing
the prisoners, 165 in number, and spoils, de-
molishing the enemy's works and resting his
men, Col. Jones made a demonstration and
show of advance on Kingston. AT dusk the
same evening his pickets were driven in and
he found himself attacked by the enemy in
force and with artillery. He, in obedience to
orders, at once returned, followed by the enc
my, and reached our outpost line without loss
Col. Lees brigade were put on the cars in
waiting and returned to their camp The
enemy mortified at the success of Col. Jones
and being strongly reinforced at Goldsboro,
re-attacked our outpost line, on the afternoon
of the 23d. l sent out supporting force to.Col
Jones, and the enemy were repulsed at every
point, but with great loss to us and the service,
in the death of Col. Jones, who was shot
through the heart as he was leading OH two
companies of his regiment to dislodge the enc
my from position he had taken up.
l have the honor to be,
Very respectfully.
Your ob't serv't,
(Signed) j. G. FOSTER,
Major General Commanding.

We have all heard much of the "disloy.
atty" of party organizations in "war times, y
recently; but now we find those who cried
the loudest and most bitterly for "no-p party
sre those who most vehemently denounce
those who are not willing to be bound by
the action of party conventions. The wire
pulling Republicans are now savage toward
Mr.. NORTON, because he proposes to stand
as an Independent candidate before the
people for their suffrages. Is not Mr.
NORTON loyal? Has he not supported the
Government in it's efforts to "crush the re
bellion?" Is he not willing to sink party
party platforms, party conventions, all fol
the maintenance OF the Government Why
then, cannot those-and especially those oil
his own political faith-who so constantly
plead against party support him? Why is
he to be denounced for reducing to practice
that which they have been preaching will
so much seeming earnestness?
Is there not something dark about this
1t is certainly not possible that these pur
patriots are looking more to self aggrandize
ment than to their country's good. O
cop.rse no such thought can be for momen
} .arbored.

The following "disloyaf' paragraph is
clipped from the Ohio State Journal, of yes
terday. BURNSIDE appears to be held in
utter contempt even by those whose tool
he has been:
BuRNs1DE's DELAY.-By the first advices
received in relation to Rosecrans' battles,
there were some pointed intimations that
Burnside had been guilty Of neglect and de-
lov in forwarding reinforcements to Rose
Grams. From the advices now received by
telegraph it appears that Burnside was
guilty of disobedience to orders; that when
ordered from Washington to support Rose
Grams. he telcgraphed back to the effect that
he was busy in little matter of his own at
Jonesboro, and Rosecrans must wait. And
it vas not until he order was repeated i'm
peratively from Washington that be moved
forward to Rosecrans' support
Tt is barely possible that Burnside may
be a very great man; but, if he is too great
a man to obey orders from his superiors ~
command, he is altogether too great man
to have a command at all.
Perhaps his delay may be fully eXplalneds
That he ought to explain it is very manifest.
