Thompson, which bore upon this part
of the battlefield at fair range, A
good road leading from the river front
in the direction of New Berne bisected
the whole area Of fighting and crossed
the railroad two miles above the Con-
federate breastworks. Near the juno
tion of the breastworks and the rail-
road there was a loopholed brick kiln
which served as a blockhouse for the
defenders.
Early on the morning of the 14th the
positions of the Federal forces were
designated preparatory to a forward
movement for attack. General J. G.
Foster was to move his brigade up
the road and attack the enemy's left;
General ]. L. Reno was to advance by
the railroad and attempt to turn the
Confederate right, while General ]. G.
Parke was to follow on the road as a

The Battle Of New Berne.

The morning of March IL the troops
detailed for the attack upon that city
embarked and that night, with the ma
val forces, rendezvoused at Hatteras
inlet On the 18th at evening the fleet
| anchored off the mouth Of Slocum's
creek, about sixteen miles below New
bern.
The morning of the 18th, after some
preliminary shelling of woods, the
troops began to disembark, the MAORI
ty going ashore in small boats, while
others jumped from the transports,
which were fast on the mud bottoms,
and, holding their cartridge boxes and
muskets over their heads, waded to
land
The enemy had chosen a strong posi-
tion well calculated for defensive pur-
poses. On Otter creek about seven
miles up the river from the mouth of
Socum's creek they had a line of in
trenchments reaching from the Neuse
river to the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima railroad; two miles beyond they
had erected a strong field work for pre-
venting a landing at that point; three
miles farther on there was a battery
mounting four heavy guns, but bearing
upon the river and one mile farther up
toward New Berne was their long line
of strong works, the chief defense
against an attack upon that city.
Fort Thompson, large and careful
~ planned tlanEing bastiOn, located on
the river and mounting thirteen heavy
guns. the enemy's extreme left, was
the commencement of their main line
of breastworks, which extended mile
to the railroad On the other side of
the railroad was another series of de-
fensive works, consisting of rifle pits
and detached intrenchments in the
form of redans and lunettes that ter
minated in a two gun battery, about
two miles from Fort Thompson. All
were located upon swampy soil. The
line from the river to the railroad was
protected by a ditch and clearing in
front and the one beyond by swamp
and underbrUsh along its whole length.
In the river opposite Fort Thompson
and crossing it's channel were dou-
BILE row of piles and many sunken YES
sells, formidable distractions, to assist
the fort in preventing an attack upon
New Berne from the river. The Fed
eral naval forces moved up the river
along with the troops.
Confederates Taken by Surprise.
The Confederates made practically
no defense of the six mile line of river
front defenses. The commander. Cen
eral L. OBJ. Branch. had placed forces
in each position to hold out against
attack from the Federal ships. How
ever, the Federal gunboats shelled a
Confederate regiment out of the works.

and, learning of this break in the de-
fenses, all the forces posted for de-

could. His men were still at work on
the ramparts, which extended the line

Federal camps that the Confederates
had established themselves there. This
they had done before evacuating Co

miles up the river. Columbus had
