THE REBELS MENACE GEN. FOSTER.

New YoRK, April 8.-The steamer Ellen
S. Terry, from Newbern April 4, arrived here
this morning. She brings the mails and over
200 soldiers.
The Post learns that on the 4th, Gen. Eos
ter was ut Little Washington with brigade,
regiment of North Carolina troops and some
other troops. He was virtually surrounded
bv the rebels, who have erected batteries on
Tar river, between Newbern and Little Wash
ington, which the naval force of wooden
gunboats are unable to pass. 1t is I'M
derstood that a battle has taken place
between General Foster and the rebels, but
nothing definite known. Heavy firing was
heard, lasting from Wednesday night to Fri
day night, evidently from rebel batteries.
Gen. Fosters means of defence are deemed
ample. He has a fort and entertainments,
with sufficient ammunition and provisions.
Large reinforcements for Gen. Foster are
in transports below the batteries, unable to
reach him for want of some naval force COM
petent to take the batteries. 1t is reported
that Gen. Foster sent to fort Monroe some
time since for reinfOrcements. Naval rein
forcements are expected, and troops will be
sent from Suffolk.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-An officer who ar
rived here to-day from the North Carolina
coast, says it was believed among our forces,
lthe information coming from what was be-
leved reliable source, that Gen. LongStreet
sometime ago made application to jefferson
Davis for $4,000 troops for the purpose of
clearing Albermarle sound, and he was in
formed that he could have 10000 from the
army of the Rappahannock, but must obtain
he balance from Gov. Vance of North Caro-
Ina. 1t is further reported that one of the
Hills is in command. When this information,
several days ago, reached fort Monroe, assist
lnce was sent from that point.
