The Heralds NeWbern correspondence,
dated March 18th, says someof the hardest
fighting that has been since the corps COM
manded By General Cox reached the vicin-
| ity of Kinsion occurred on Friday. The
rebels had evidently learned that General
| Couch, with portion of the 23d corps, was
nor far of, and would soon Join Cox, and it
urged them to extraordinary desperation.
They charged again and again upon our
works, making ten or twelve separate
charges during the day. Generally they
spent their fury upon the left, but some Of
the time they would charge upon the entire
line, vainly hoping thst the momentum of
of so large body would break down every
thing. Our men, however, stood their
ground heroicSlly, as attested by the piles
of slain rebels lying before our works in
various directions. The enemy also fought
with vslor worthy of better cause. It
was in vain however.
On Friday night and Saturday morning
General COUGHS forces came up from to-
wards Wilmington and effected q junction
with General Cox, which gave Us an ad-
vantage of course, OF which the rebels were
not slow to become informed. So they at
once began to fall back, abandoning further
opposition this side of the Nense river, and
they are now on the north side of the river,
with the bridge that crosses over to Kins-
ton partially burned.
The much-talked of ram Neuse Wss also
partially destroyed.
Our forces followed them up vigorously
and will doubtless prepare to cross over
the river at once, by means of g pontoon
bridge or by relaying new timbers over
the old bridge for the cars to pass over. l
apprehend that there will be no difficulty
in driving the rebels back from any point
where the may see it to make stand.
[NoTE.-This correspondent says that
Sherman has been heard from at Fsyette-
vile, reporting all right Laurel Hill, and
not Fayetteville, is the place undoubtedly. I
The HeraJFs Washington special says
that letter from Schoheld's headquarters,
Newbern, 1lth, says:
This morning Hoks attempted to break
our lines but was repulsed with terrible
slaughter. Our own loss is not more than
300 or 400 in killed and wounded. The
rebel loss in killed, wounded and prisoners
is eight times greater.
We have possession of the field and the
rebel dead and wounded are in our hands.
Sanitary supplies are abundant at the
front.
The Sanitary Commission has sent to
Newbern 100000 worth of supplies and
Is loading several more vessels for the
same destination.
Newbern is to be made depot for
sanita'y supplies for the armies Of North

Contraband Trade rith Reb Is.

The proclamation issued by the Depart
ment of State yesterday, providing for the
arrest, IS prisoners of war, of all citizens
of the United States and domiciled aliens,
and the bsnishment from the country Of
all non-residents, who have been engaged
in contrRbsnd trade with the rebels, will
meet the hearty approval of the country.
It was probably called forth by the recent
Developments of oontraband trade vlG
Fredericksburg, which have shocked and
astonished the nation. The scoundrels
who will give aid and comfort to the in
surrection, for the paltry purpose of maxi
ing little money, are meaner than the
rebels themselves. The former at least
have, or think they have, the shadow of
shade of q principle 10 struggle for; the
latter, not brave enough TO fight and with
out principles to fight for, are, like IscAriot,
betraying their master for filthy lucre.

of Fort Myers, Florida, by the Union gar
rison was a very brave one and resulted IN

FROM RALTImORR.
BALTIMORE, March Is

BALTIMORE Mhrcn To-
Captain Mcdonald, of the light ship at
Smiths Point, who was captured nearly 8
year since by the rebels, has just returned
home after long imprisonment st Sails
bury, North Carolina. He fully confirms
previous accounts of the horrors of the
rebel prisons. He learned from one of the
corporsls who had charge of the matter,
that from the 10th of October to the lst of
January 5,S75 of our men died out of the
10000 imprisoned there. BE says that the
physicians of Salisbury volunteered their
services to attend the hospital, and showed
evident sympathy for the sufferers, doing
what little they could, indicating that they
were in heart Unionists, but the rebel off
GERS would permit nothing to be done to
mitigate the sufferings.
The patients with typhoid fever and
other diseases, with scarce 8 rag to cover
their nskedness, were laid upon the bare
floor of some wretched workshop, which
were used as hospitals. Sometimes q lit
tie straw or other litter was obtained for
the sick, but such was the accumulation Of
filth and the want of nourlshing food, that
death was the only relief for the sick.
Thousands Of OR men dying of hunger
lie out night after night, without shelter
and nearly naked, through biting frosts and
cold rains. In the language of Captain
Mcdonald, the horrors os the place car
never be written and scarcely be credited
when read.
Every quiet in and around Wilmington
Business of all kinds is gradually resumint
its former aspect. The old merchants snC
residents remaining in town are rapidly
accustoming themselves to and acquiescinf
in the new order of affairs.
