The Times Army of the Potomac special
dispatch Of the 18th says: There il no
military news. The fine weather gives
prospect of movement.
The HeralTs Washington special says:
A letter from Scho6eld's Headquarters,
dated Newborn, 18th, says: This MORN
ing Hoke attempted to break our lines,
but was repuls+d with terrible slaughter.
Our loss is not more than 300 or 400
killed or wounded; 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 Committee has at
Newbcrn 100000 worth Of supplies, and
is loading severa! more vessels for the same
destination. Newbern is to b. made de.
PIT for Sanitary supplies for the armies in
North Carolina.
The HeralTs correspondent in front Of
Kingston on the li,h. gives the following
account of the fight there on Wednesday,
the Sth: The enemy, consisting Of Hokr's
division made determined effort to turn
our left flank. They came rather unex.
pectedly and furionsly upon us, and the
consequences was loss on our part Of
large portion Of two regiments who were
fnnkcd by superior numbers. The left Of
line held by the 2d division Of Gen. Car
ter's corps fought desperately, resorting to
the bayonet when their ammunition was
exhausted. 10 compensate for the losses
here, Col. Savage, Of the 18th New York
Cavalry made dctour on the rear and
captured nearly 100 prisoners. The same
afternoon dash was made on the right,
which was rcpulsed without loss. Scho-
field came up in the afternoon and assumed
command. Night corning on. action
ceased. Capt. Fish. Of the 18th New
York Cavalry, lost two small howitzers.
and Capt. Kelsay's Artillery had lost one
Napoleon gun. We had taken perhaps
200 prisoners during the day. On Thurs
day morning, the 9th, Mallory fully re.
gained his original position and continued
to hold it.
The enemy charged him three times in
the afternoon, and were repulsed each time
with heavy loss.
The forenoon was occupied with light
diminishing along the whole line. Ample
breastworks having been erected and stout
hearts occupying them. aud skirmish pits
all through them.
On the evening Of the 9th and morning
and evening Of the 10th, the rebels fury
again belched forth. They had evidently
learned Of something which urged them to
unusual desperation, and we afterwards
learned that it must have been the recep-
ton of intelligence by them that Couch
was coming overland to join Cox. and this
Of course necessitated furions and speedy
onset upon Cox. in order to anuihilate him
before Couch should come up. Before
long they charged again. and again, max.
ing six or seven different charges, amidst
the roar Of Our cannon and muskstry,
which was deafrning and terrible - it
svept and surced through the night air.
