Reinforcements for Gen. Grant.

NEW DIRK, june 10.
Advices by the Cahawba say reinforcements
from Brashear City and other points, to the
number of 5000, reached Gen. Banks on the
3oth and 3lst, and that our troops then out
numbered the rebels four TO one The rebels
are entirely hemmed in and no succor can
reach them. Their force is varously estimated
at from 5000 TO 10000. They are well sup
piled with corn meal but have very few other
provisions, and but small supply of ammuni-
ton. 1t was believed to be impossible for

EDGE Tool Co.-The Pennington Chroni-
Gle says, Calvin Reyes, Esq, who is taking
the preliminary steps toward establishing an
Edge Tool company in Lewiston, with a
branch at East Wilton, where he proposes to
have the wood work done, is now in that vi
cinity engaged in disposing of the stock.
Some $500 of stock will be taken in Wilton.
The Chronicle continues:
This is an important movement towards de-
veloping the resources of our country, and we
hope our people will subscribe literally for
the stock. Reyes will make the enterprise a
paying one, and the stock will be valuable to
individual owners rs well as tending to in
crease the value of all the real estate in our
region.
The same remarks apply with increased
force to Lewiston.

North Carolina VS.. the Confederate Govern

NEwBERN, n. c., June Z.
The following is from the Raleigh State
Journal, a secesh paper:
1--WE fear the same conflict between the State
authorities and Confederate government which
was witnessed in this State at the session of
the last Legislature is to be renewed The
Governor has assumed the position of an
ayowed advocate of the supremacy of the
State Judges, and has, in advance, decided all
cases against the claims of the Confederate
government. We have observed with regret
recent order OF the Governor, by which he
commands the officers of the State TO resist, by
force, the arrest of any person claimed as a
conscrlpt, who has been once discharged by the
decision of State Judge. We look with
alarm upon these unsettled and conflicting
claims. The only honest course for IA State in
the Confederacy is to give her all to the con-
test now raging or to quit the field at once.
There can be no divided services compatible
with honor aud safety"
Gen. Foster has received instruction from
Washington to place in close confinement all
rebel officers captured by him.
The colored women here are forming socie-
Ties and raising funds to assist Gen. Wild in
organizing his African army. They have sent
funds to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, request
ing her to devise and send them battle flag.
Mrs. Maj. Gen. Foster is at present quite ill.
This accomplished lady has endeared herself to
all in this Department by her kind attention
to the sick and wounded soldiers, and by her
many christian virtues.

Naval Court of Inquiry.

NEW YORK, June 10.
In abe Naval Court of Inquiry to-day, in
the case of chief engineer Sinners, on charges
preferred by Admiral Dupont, c. e. Fulton of
the Baltimore American, was the principal
witness. He testified that Mr. SINNERS in
formed him that he visited all the monitors on
the morning of the sth of April, in company
with thirty or forty mechanics and all the nee
essary materials, and at one O'Clock Z. NJ re-
ported to the Admiral that they were all in
condition for immediate service; that the Adj
niiral told him that he was determined not to
renew the fight; that on his leaving the vari-
GUS vessels they were all anticipating the sig
nal to prepare to get under weigh at one p.
M The decision OF the Admiral created great
surprise among the junior officers of the YES
sells; that one of the executive officers told
him, tStimers) that he felt personally disgraced
by the failure to renew the fight and he de-
sired to be relieved from the squadron as soon
as possible. lie also heard Sinners say he be-
lieved the Admiral would have renewed the
fight If he had not been influenced by others;
also, that the attack on Fort Sumter was not
an earnest one, and that the monitors were
capable, in his opinion, of renewing the attack
also that, in his opinion if the Ericsson RATS had
been used, the monitors could have reached
the city. He expressed disappointment and
chagrn at the unwillingness of the Admiral
and fleet authorities to examine the RATS and
torpedoes, or to listen to him when he attempt
ed to explain their use. He, however, never
expressed confidence in the ability of the mon
itors, witibnt the aid of the RATS, to succeed
in entering Charleston harbor. Mr. Sinners
did not directly critcise the conduct of the
Admiral, but regarded others as influencing
him against his own better judgment. The
conversation of sinners with the witness was
always private and in an under tone. He
avoided conversation with others and went
into his state-room to avoid being questioned
