Later from Neybern. - Gen. AmOry's
Expedition Successful and Returning.
Two Mails from Newborn on the way
to New York.
We have intelligence from Newbern to Jan.
Goth. The mails had been detained there;
but n Sunday, JAN 18th, very large mail
was semitic Beaufort by railroad and put on
board the steamer Dudley Buck, which was
to leave the next morning for New York. A
storm detained the Dudley Buck, and she was
still at Beaufort Monday evening the 10Th
She is now due at New York, and a large
mail may be expected within a day or two.
Gen. Amory's brigade was returning from the
expedition on which it had been sent, having
been completely successful without much
loss. The New York cavalry went with
them, and the only men hurt in the affair at
Pollocksville were in that gallant corps.
Amory's brigade, in which is the 5Ist regi-r
ment, started on this expedition Jan. 18th,
the day before the mail by the Dudley Buck
left Newbern. Another mail steamer started
for New York while they were absent. We
take the following from the Boston Traveller
of yesterday
ga gentleman reached this city this morn
ing, who left Newbern on Tuesday, Jan. 10Th
He came by way Of the canal to Norfolk upon
government dispatch boat. AT the time he
left, the principal expedition had not sailed,
but it was expected that it would in a short
time. There were large number Of steam
ers at Beaufort, and large bodies OF troops
between that place and Newbern. 1t was re-
ported that two iron-clads sailed from Beau
fort on the l7th The 9Th and 44th Mass
regiments expected to go on this expedition.
"a small expedition, in command of Gen.
Amory, left on Saturday, Jan. 18th, and had
advanced as tar as Pollocksville, twelve miles
out. They drove in the enemys pickets, and
several wagon loads Of stores, &C., captured
by them from the rebels, had reached New
bern. They ascertaned that the roads above
Pollocksville were INSTRUCTED by fallen trees.
There had been no fighting reported. 1t was
was expected that Gen. Amory's command
would return in day or two, when the 10th
Massachusetts, regiment would be detailed to
provost duty at Newbern, in place of the 18TH
Nothing was known of the enemy's force in
front, but it was reported that there were 49,.
900 men at Kinston, and 20, 900 at GOldSboro,
with ubiquitous Stonewall jackson in COM
mand.
'sThe sick at Newborn were we'll cared for,
the hospitals being comfortable and supplied
with everything needed. The troops were
satisfied with their rations, but were anxious
to see the paymaster. Some of them had not
been paid for six or seven months. The
place was overstocked with suffers goods
Two mail steamers from Newbern are now
probably on their way to New York One of
them is now due here.
'The following is an extract Of Il letter re-
ceived in this city from member Of the Mass.
44th, dated Jan. 18th we are the only nine
months men bound oil on the new expedition
which we call complete retutation Of any
depreciatory remarks in regard to the regi-
ment. About the expedition, nobody knows
where we are going, but all know that it is a
big thing, which will give honor to all engaged,
and, in the end, either in combination with
others, or by the eighteenth army corps alone,
Charleston will fall and go on our banner with
Kinston, Whitehall, and Gofdsboro, already
there
eve learn that another gentleman who left
Newbern Oh the goth, brings the intelligence
that Lieut.. Emmons, of the 45th regiment,

about 1900 rebels from place twenty rthr-
y hllies above Newbern, and was then on its
