FORTRESS MONROE, March 1.-THE
steamer Rebecca Clyde. with $50 rebel
prisoners captured near kln>ton, North
Carolina, during the late battles, arrived
here this morning from Newborn. The
latest adviceS from Schofeld represent him
still advancing toward kinStou. There
were rumorS at Newberr on the 18th. to
the effect that Bragg had evacuated kins-
ton, and that our forces had taken posses
sion of the place. The prisoners who
came up on the Clyde belonged to Hook
er'S Division. having been sent from Lees
army only week since, with view of
operating against our forces in North
Carolina. All available pontoon trains at
Newbern were sent to Schoheld. If Bragg
had not evacuated kin>ton, no doubt is
entertained that our forces could easily
cross the NeuSe and give battle TO the
enemy before he could get away. COUGHS
