From New bern.

FORT MONROE, May II.
The Collier, from Newbern, arrived
last evening, with Chief Quartermaster
Webster on board. He reports every
thing quiet at Newbern.
The Richmond Examiner says The
enemy have concentrated in Virginia.
If beaten everywhere If he wins here,
ne wins everything. The war might
continue, the Confederacy might posi-
bly, survive. Heaven and earth now calls
on the Government to bring up all the
troops it commands.
The whole number of officers in Libby
Prison on the l4th was 90
NEW YORK, May 10.
There is a rebel fiotilla of thirteen
barges, each armed with howltzer
and twenty-five men on Chowan River
The results of rebel raids against New
bern were the capture of our fortifica-
tions at Evans Mills-the garrison es.
capped, -the capture of Stockade Grafton,
with its garrison of fifty men, and some
the injury to the railroad between New
bern and Morehead City. The rebels
were repulsed by our batteries and gun
boats
The rebel ram Albemarle had nine
men Killed in an engagement at the
mouth of Roanoke River on the 9Th, and
was so badly injured as to be sent ur
the river FOR repairs. The q. S. gun
boat Smithfield is supposed to have
been blown up by the rebels.

FROM WASHINGTON.
OFFICIAL DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON. May %.
Ts Maj. Gen. Dix:
Dispatches from Mai. Gen. Candy da-
ted at the mouth of the Re river at
midnight May 18th, state that Admiral
Porter has just arrived. The remainder
of the gunboats will arrive tonight
Gen. Banks will probably reach Simms-
port on the Atchafalaya tomorrow.
A dispatch from Admiral Porter dated
on board flag ship Black Hawk, mouth
of Red river May 10th, states that the
portion of the squadron above the falls
at Alexandria have been released from
this unpleasant position, owing to the
indefatigable exertions of Lieut. Col.
Bailey, acting engineer of the Nineteenth
corps, who proposed and built dam of
six hundred feet across the river at the
lower falls which enabled all the YES
sells to pass in safety. The back water of
the Mississippi reaching Alexandria and
allowing them to pass over all the
shoals and the distractions planted by
the enemy to point of safety.
Lieut.. Col Bailey will be Immediately
nominated for promotion for distin-
guished and meritorious services.
An unofficial report from Cairo dated
the I'D, states that the army and gun
boats were all safe at the mouth of the
Red river and Simmsport.
Maj Gen. Sherman by a dispatch da-
ted $50 P. NJ. last night, reports that he
would be ready by this morning to re-
sumo his operations.
Returned veterans and regiments he
says have more than replaced all losses.
We have no official reports since my
last telegram from Gen. Grant or Gen.
Butler
official reports of the department
show that within eight days after the
great battle at Spottsylvania Court
House many thousand veteran troops
have been Forwarded to Gen. Grant
The whole army has been amply sup
piled with full rations Of subsistence.
Upwards of twenty thousand sick and
wounded have been transported from
the field of battle to the Washington
hospitals and placed under surgical care.
Over 5000 prisoners have been trans
ported from the field to the prison de-
pots, and a large amount of artillery and
other impediments for an active cam
paign was also brought away. Several
thousand fresh cavalry horses have
been forwarded to the army. The grand
army of the Potomac is now fully as
strong in numbers, and better equipped,
supplied and furnished, than when the
campaign opened. Several thousand re-
Inducements have also been forwarded
to other armies in the field, and ample
supplies to all.
During the same time over thirty
thousand volunteers for a hundred days
have been mustered into service, and
clothed, armed, equipped and transport
ed to their respective positions.
This statement is due to the chiefs of
the army staff and bureaus and their re-
spective corps to whom the credit be-
longs. Signed
E. NJ STANTON,
Secretary of War.

Our wounded.

WASHINGTON, May 70.
DR.. Morton of Boston, who has been
at Fredericksburg at the front since the
commencement of the present campaign
experimenting the using of anaesthetics
in hospitals, has returned with several
other volunteer surgeons. He states the
number of wounded as shown by official
statements is not 10000, and that those
requiring operations had the benefit
the anaesthetics and that all of the
wounded have been brought in from the
camp hospitals and field at Fredericks-
burg. The ambulance system has
worked admirably in removing the
wounded from the positions where they
embarrassed military operations, and
the hospital arrangements are as nearly
perfect as circumstances will permit.

THE FL aNK MOVEMENT.

The correspondent of the New York
Time writing from Guinea's Station,
May 2lst, Z p, NJ, says
The Army of the Potomac is again on
the march toward Richmond During
the night, Hancock's corps, which had
held the left Of our lines in front Of
Spottsylvania Court House took up its
march, moving on the road parallel with
the Ny River, Early this morning it
reached Guinea's Station, on the Freder-
icksburgh and Richmond II r., IL miles
due south of Fredericksburgh Thence
it pushed onward, following the railroad,
and tonight finds the head of Hancock's
column at Bowling green, eighteen miles
south Of Fredericksburgh. The other
corps have been to-day following the
same general line, and the Fifth Is now
passing the point at which this dispatch
is dated. You will observe from these
indications that the Commanding Gen.
eral has Effected a farming Increment on the
right flank of Lee, who is now hastily
falling back to take up fresh defensive
4; position. 1t is expected that his next
stand will be on the South Anna River
although he may endeavor to hit us
while moving by the flank, just as he
did when out-fianked in his lines on the
Rapidan.
Heavy firing, in fact, is this moment
heard across the Ny, where one of our
columns is moving A mile south by
west of Guinea's Station is the point Of
confluence of the Pc and Ny rivers, and
at this point the stream is crossed BY
Guinea's Bridge, which is in our posses
sion. The river south of the junction Of
the Pc and the Ny is called by the in.
habitants of the county the "Mattapo-
ny" although the Mat and Ia, its other
two affiuents, do not enter it till we
reach a point dozen miles south of
this.
Our army is now all gone from the
front it has held before Spottsylvania
Court House for the past two weeks, and
the lines of Spottsylvania pass into his
tory. They are associated with fighting
as desperate as was ever made by en-
! battled foes, and by the greatest valor
on the part of both armies. Its woods
sepulchre thousands of bodies of brave
men, persisted in the great cause for
which this army marches and fights and
suffers.
You will notice by the map that oul
present front, while it puts us in a very
! advantageous position In regard to thu
enemy, at the same time perfectly coven
our communications, which are by way
of Fredericksburgh and Acquia Creek
q The railroad will soon be open from
Acquia Greek to Fredericksburgh, anC
will doubtless be put in order south 0
I that point as we advance. There ar
also several available points of waite
9 communication by the Rappahannock
. as at Port Royal, &c, which will prob
ably be used.
y should misrepreseut the conviction
of the soundest heads in this army if
should convey the impression that on
\ progress is to be now only triumpha
r march. We shall be met by the mos
, obdurate resistance which skill ant
=. courage on the part of the enemy cal
command But Gen Grant has givel
+. you the keynote of the sentiment of thi,
army; we shall go through with thi
q business, "if it takes all summer to d.
:. it SwINToY.

TUESDAY, MAY "a, 1854.

THR SITUATION, reconnaissance
Of Wednesday developed the position
and strength of the enemy. Gen. Lees
camp is a perfectly fortified fortress and
it is apparent that it can be carried by
storm, -. IN immense cost of liie'-
The only 80, sc remaining is to draw
Lee outside OF his works by maneuver-
ing, and compel him to give battle on
more equal terms, This is what Gen.
Gran, is attempting by his flank move
ment. lie is striving to win by strategy
what would cost tremendous sacrifice OF
life to do by direct assault. A cores
pondent says Grant is stronger to-day
by at least 10000 than when he crossed
the Rapidan.

SHOCKING RAILROAD AccIDENT-Tht
st. Adams Messenger gives the follow.
ing particulars of the railroad accident
which occurred on Friday between St.
Adams and Swanton, and of which men,
ton was made in our Geographic col
umns on Saturday morning.
As the morning express, which should
have reached here at forty three min
utes past eight was turning the curve
just west of Brghams Crossing, it came
in collision with train loaded with
stone, running out on the new road
some three miles further down. The
stone train was running down grade and
quite fast, while the express train, being
little behind time, was running with
unusual rapidity. Both engineers and
firemen jumped from their trains, which
flew together with terrible momen-
tum. The shock and crash acre heard ta0O
miles. The tender to the engine Of the
stone train, which was backing at the
time, was thrown completely over the
engine, carrying away the cab and
smoke stack and falling upon the car be-
hind The other engine was driven
upon this where it now lies as nicely
poised as if it had been placed there pur-
posely. The baggage car was driven
into the passenger ear the front end of
which was demolished.
There were but afew passengers on at
the time and only q single car, which
accounts for there being so few injured.
Only three were injured. Edward
Gay of Albany, struck by corner of bag
gage car on the head, partially stunning
him, and giving him an ugly cash on
| the forehead and face. Ellen Boyan of
Ireland bruised about the head, and an
other woman whose name we did not
learn nor the nature Of hep injuries.
| Allen, engineer on the stone train was
instantly killed. Edward Shattuck en-
! eineer on express train had leg broken
! az mas Otherwise injured.
Matthew Strutters, brakeman, stood
upon the front platform of the passen.
ger car and was crushed between the
cars. He is in great pain, and there
are but faint hopes of his recovery. Sew.
eral others received slight bruises, but
none serious.
The engines were almost demolish.
ed.-The boiler head of one, so terrible
was the shock, was thrown sixty-fiv
paces.-Pieces of wood were thrown owe
a hundred PAGES. The track under til
engines was bent down, and nearly Gu
the ties beneath them in two.
Mr.. Allen, the engineer of the ston
train, who was killed, is said to hay
been running his train out of time, an
the blame is attached to him. He was
man of good habits, cool temperance
, and generally trustworthy. He leaves
wife and two children at Mortified,
