IV. Burnside in North Carolina. Roanoke Island carried Elizabeth city submits defenses of Newbern stormed Newbern surrendered Fort Macon reduced fight at South Mills Foster advances to Kinston fails to carry Goldsboroa. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside and Com. L. M. Goldsborough led an expedition, which had in good part been fitted out in New York, and which left Fortress Monroe at the opening of the year; Jan. 11-12, 1862. and, doubling Cape Henry, moved southward to Hatterand posted on the opposite blank, supporting three pieces of artillery. These were driven off by a charge of tlhe 9th New Jersey, and 1 gun captured ; when, after two or three more skirmishes, Foster advanced Sunday, 14th. to within a mile of Kinston; where he encountered a considerable Rebel force under Gen. Evans, strongly posted between the Neuse and a deep swamp, whence they were driven after a short but sharp fight, and the bridge over the Neuse saved, though it had been fired by the fu
is way back; gathering up Prince's 3,000 men by the way, and occupying, next day, Hill's Point battery, which the enemy abandoned on his approach. Pushing on, he found Hill in full retreat, and was unable to bring him to a stand. Of course, the presumption is strong that Hill's force had been over-estimated by Foster at 20,000. An expedition composed of three Mass. regiments. under Col. J. R. Jones, was soon dispatched May 21. to capture a Rebel outpost at Gum Swamp, 8 miles from Kinston; and was partially successful, taking 165 prisoners; but the enemy attacked our outpost in return, killing Col. Jones and inflicting some other loss, though finally repulsed. A cavalry raid, supported by infantry, to Warsaw, July 3. on the Weldon and Wilmington Railroad, and another, soon afterward, to the Rocky Mount station, proved successful: the railroad being broken in either instance, and considerable property destroyed; Tarborough being captured, and several steamers burned the

Couriers from Schofield and from Terry now arrived; the former reporting himself at Kinston, short of provisions, but able to reach Goldsboroa on the 21st, which he was directed to do; Terry being likewise directed to advance. Meantime, the several divihed 5,000 men to Morehead city to impel or strengthen an advance from Newbern on Goldsborough. Couch's and Cox's divisions were now ordered across the country to Kinston; but the lack of wagons delayed their movement till March 6; when they started under Couch, while Schofield went by sea to Morehead city, and thence by rail to Nep and reenforced Schofield next morning. Lack of pontoons delayed Schofield at the Neuse till the 14th, when — having rebuilt the bridge — he crossed and entered Kinston unopposed — Hoke having hastened to Smithfield to aid Johnston in making head against Sherman. Schofield again advanced on the 20th, and entered Goldsboroa, scar<
