that two three days after the enemy entered, the

Of four torpedoes. by which over forty New
York soldiers and contrabands were killed,
md between twenty and thirty terribly
wounded. The writer says:
The train which left Newbern at three
o'clock in the afternoon brought to the out
posts the remaining four of thirteen torpe-
does. of monstrous weight and proportions,
intended to complete the blockade of the
Neusc river in the direction of Kinston
The last of the four was about reaching
the station platform, when an accidental
blow, from log Of wood striking upon the
cap, exploded the torpedo. The concus-
sion was so great that the other three fol-
lowed the explosion of the first, and so
quick as to make but one mighty report,
like the crash of thousand pieces of ar-
tiliery fired simultaneously.
The disaster was one Of the most appal-
ling and heartrending that has happened
in this country in a series Of years Sol
diers whose gallantry has been displayed
On battle. fields, and whose eagerness to
hear the news from their brave comrades
in Virginia had brought them clustering
around the station, were hurled, mangled
and torn, into eternity in moments time.
Heads, bodies and limbs were scattered for
quarter of mile around, and in many
instances it was found impossible to reeog-
nize the remains of the unfortunate vic~
TINS The signal tower and commissary
building, twenty feet by eighty feet, built
Of logs. were thrown into the air a distance
of eight hundred feet, and strewed the
country for great distance around with
the fragments
The greatest sufferer by this terrible cat
astrophe was the One Hundred and Thirty
second New York, stationed for the last
twelve months ON this front, and whose
camp is adjacent to the railroad station.
This regiment had &c killed and Ia wound
ed. The One Hundred and tifty-eighth
New York Volunteers had killed and 2
wounded, and the Twelfth New York Ca
valry had killed 1t W. w Wells, of
the Fifty eighth Pennsylvania, was SO bad
IN wounded that his foot had to be amputa-

;rabands will number between twenty and
twenty-five.

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE One night during

escape in rather a singular manner The
officers being allowed during the day tc go
out on the beach on the bay shore, and he
seeing an opportunity, managed, unseen by
the guard, to bury himself in the sand, so
that only bis face remained above the
ground, and it out of sight. When the
camp gates were closed at night he was
not discovered, and after dark swan and
waded until outside of the stockade. He
took the main road for Leonardtown, but
was met rather suddenly, by some of the
mounted patrol, and escorted back to his
former quarters. Probably he only wished
to take an airing but the patrol " couldn't
