NEwBERN, March 9.-MaiOr General
Schofeld and Breyet Brigadier General
Scho6eld and their stats, have arrived
here, having left Wilmington OH Mon
day last. They bring no news from
Sherman The enemy's papers are equal
ly ignorant of Sherman's whereabouts.
The roads are bad, which delays his pro-
gress somewhat. A letter was received
here the other day from a young man
who has been confined in Salisbury pris-
on for the past two years, stating that
he was liberated by Union forces
The enemy are in considerable force at
Kinston, North Carolina, having been
recently reinforced. Lees corps, from
Hoods army, is reported there.
Yesterday the enemy captured some OF
our skirmishers near Kinston, belong
ing to the fifteenth Connecticut and
seventeenth Massachusetts,.
General Bragg is reported to be in
command of the enemy forces at Kins-
ton Major General J. D. Cox is in com
mand of our forces at that point
The weather is very warm:
Intelligence was received from Gener-
al Cox last night from Beaver Dam,
point he had just reached, when Is
eight miles from General Cox's headquar
ters. General Couch joined General Cox
with his forces this morning, which indi-
Gates battle to-day. The enemy shows
signs of weakness and will doubtless fall
back to the other side of the Neuse riv-
er and make stand in IKinston. The
enemy are reported to ndmber $1,000 to
25,O00 A rebel ram is stationed at Rins-
ton to protect the bridge across the Neuse,
which is quite an extensive structure.
1t is reported by deserters that Gen.
Robert E. Lee and General Breckenridge,
from Richmond, visited Kinston and gave
instructions. 10
Gen. Schofeld remains in the field with
Gen. Cox, giving every movement per-
sonal attention.
The enemy are much alarmed aud mys
titled in regard to Sherman's movements.
We expect to hear from him in day OF
two.
Gen. Cox has issued an order congratu-
lating his troops on the heroic manner in
which they have met the enemy and sue
cessfully sustained themselves so far.
Gen Markland, military mail agent, ar
rived at Morehead City with a large
mail for Sherman's army, which he is
waiting to deliver by way Of Newbern.
