ave served them right, it is an ingenious Yankee trick to cover up the drunkenness of their soldiers.] The city now contains one hundred people, male and female, of the old population.--This does not include negroes. Only three stores are open. Newbern originally contained twelve hundred people, and contains many excellent houses, churches, &c. We have captured two nice little light draught steamboats and several schooners, and the crew of the Chasseur have also seized a regular White Hall boat, sails and all. The barracks of the Secessionists present a sorrowful sight. Any quantity of clothing, small arms, ammunition and cooking utensils were thrown around. At the time of the capture they were cooking dinner and the tables were set out. The barracks consisted of one hundred clapboard buildings. Among the articles found on the premises was a lady's gold watch. The rebel blockade was two miles below the city, and consisted of a line of brigs and schooners. We foun

From North Carolina--another "Change of Base." Goldsboro' Dec. 16. --An artillery duel at White Hall, sixteen miles west of this point, on the Neuse, has been going on since this morning. The firing ceased about 1 o'clock. The Abolitionists seem to have "changed their base." No casualties reported among the field officers in the battle of Sunday. [second Dispatch.] Goldsboro', Dec. 16.--P. M. --The Abolitionists have certainly "changed their base" to the south of the Neuse. Their cavalry made a raid on Mount Olive depot, on the Wilmington Railroad, nine miles from this point, tearing up the road, burning bridges and depots, and cutting the telegraph wires. The cannonading at White Hall resulted in a slight loss to the Confederates. We had only two please engaged. The principal fight was between infantry, separated by the river. The Abolitionists fled from the field. Their loss was evidently much greater than ours. [We understand that the telegraph line

ut four miles hence. Between two and three o'clock six Yankees, under the cover of guns, reached the railroad bridge and set it on fire, entirely consuming it.--Five of the reseals were killed on the spot. Later in the day our forces gallantly repulsed an attempt of the enemy to cross the county bridge, and drove them from their position on the other side. Our troops fought like veterans, and when the firing ceased at dark had gallantly maintained their ground. In the battle at White Hall yesterday the 11th Regiment, Col. Leon Thorpe, had I killed, 23 wounded slightly, and 1 mortally. Lieut. Means, of Mecklenburg, was the only officer killed. The slaughter of the enemy is said to be heavy, our boys driving them from their pines like frightened turkeys. Loss in 31st North Carolina slight. Later.--The enemy has-been driven three miles from his position this evening. [third Dispatch] Wilmington, N. C, Dec. 17 --P. M.--(Official)--General Smith is being hea

Latest from North Carolina. Goldsboro', Dec. 18. --The battle of yesterday resulted in the enemy's taking the back track last night for parts unknown. They are reported as having passed White Hall to-day, 16 miles hence, on the Neuse. The greater part of yesterday, was spent in an artillery duel, resulting in a very slight loss on our side. In the evening Gen. Clingman's brigade crossed the river, and by a masterly movement caused the enemy to skedaddle, having lost less than 30 in killed and wounded--7 or 8 only killed. The 534 North Carolina regiment suffered most, having lost about 8 killed and wounded.--While charging one of the enemy's batteries across a field this regiment behaved gallantly. A part of Gen Davis's Mississippi brigade was on the field and behaved well. The Yankee hospital near the battle field gives evident signs of numbers of wounded. Among them four amputating tables were found. The railroad for miles has been torn up and the bridges destroy

From North Carolina. Goldsboro', Dec. 19. --A reconnaissance last night by a squadron of the 3d North Carolina cavalry, under Captain Carraway, found the enemy encamped about two miles below White Hall. The citizens represent them as scared, and out of food and ammunition. A rumor on the streets this morning says reinforcements have passed Kinston. on the south side of the Nouse, to succor their skedaddling friends. As the smoke of battle clears away it reveals a considerable slaughter among the Yankees at White Hall on Tuesday. A hundred of their dead were left unburied on the field, and a pit a hundred yards long filled with dead has been found. Only three companies of the 59th and 11th North Carolina were engaged. Col. Ferrebee, of the 59th with 18 men of the 11th. fought the enemy for several hours until reinforced by three of his own companies, who were subsequently relieved by the 11th, (Col. Leaventhorpe) under the immortal Bethel flag, who ultimately d
