ed thirty-five miles, the Colonel ordered a halt. The troops bivouacked in a lovely piece of woods, and the men, as they discussed their improvised evening meal, forgot the fatigue of the day and made no murmurs, except their regrets for not getting a fair show at the rebs. On reaching this point, and before coming to a halt, six rebel cavalrymen were discovered, but they retreated on observing our advance. At Young's Cross-Roads the bridge crossing the stream to Onslow Court-House, or Jacksonville, was found destroyed. It was forty feet long, over a deep, rapid stream. On the opposite side the river bank was heavily stockaded and pierced for rifles. On this point the howitzer-battery was brought into use, and for five minutes a brisk interchange of shots was had ; but the grape from the battery of the Third regiment soon drove the rebels. At this point the rebel officer in command was shot dead at the first discharge. His body was pierced in three places. During the night the

Mix, returned to this point last night, after having accomplished a successful five days raid into Onslow, Trent, and Jones counties. They left here on last Saturday morning. The command consisted of eight companies, namely, A, B, C, F, G, K, L, and M, divided into two battalions, commander by Majors Garrard and Cole, and the howitzer battery of the regiment, commander by Lieutenant Allis, the whole under command of Colonel Mix, seconded by Lieutenant-Colonel Lewis. As the regiment passed through the town en route for their destination, they rode in columns of fours; every man wearing a smiling countenance, as if going on a holiday parade. They crossed the river at a point near this town, and followed the road on the margin of the river to Pollocksville. They took five days rations in the wagons, with the usual ambulances and other nece

On reaching Pollocksville, twelve miles distant from here, they found the bridge across Mill Creek, a nd was destroyed by the rebels last summer. From this place to Pollocksville the road, although sandy and level, is skirted by dense pine woitants in the distance, the frail negro huts. After reaching Pollocksville, to continue the route of the regiment, it was necessary to rebe work was accomplished. The regiment then proceeded through Pollocksville.

This being completed, our troops pursued their route to a point within seventeen miles of Kenansville, on the Wilmington and Goldsboro Railroad, but learning that the enemy were in force at that town, changed our course to a more southerly or circuitous route. The road leading to Kenansville was heavily blockaded with felled timber. The regiKenansville was heavily blockaded with felled timber. The regiment was then countermarched, and returned to Trenton, where it encamped for the night. The night previous was cold, damp, and chilly. The troops bivouacked in the open air, but not a murmur was heard in the whole command — officers and men sharing the same exposure. The command left Trenton at daylight, proceeding en route of march back to within four miles of Pollocksville, the same road the regiment passed over the day previous. From this point they made a detour to another road, march

Mix, returned to this point last night, after having accomplished a successful five days raid into Onslow, Trent, and Jones counties. They left here on last Saturday morning. The command consisted of eight companies, namely, A, B, C, F, G, K, L, and M, divided into two battalions, commander by Majors Garrard and Cole, and the howitzer battery of the re capture was made. In reply to a question relative to the leading dog, the old negro replied: Dat he would fotch a nigger from a swamp quick enough, if he only smell his heel. The result of this raid was, that three counties of North-Carolina--Onslow, Trent, and Jones — on which our troops have never been before, were secured, and the rebels driven out; prisoners, arms, negroes, mules, and colors captured, and much valuable information obtained.

The bridge completed, the troops crossed, and followed the road leading to Whitehall, distant from Trenton about seven miles. The route was through a dense wood, at times flanked by swamps. They then came up to another bride, which the rebel runaways had just commenced to destroy. The last rebel, while attempting to move one s, negroes, mules, and colors captured, and much valuable information obtained. Colonel Mix, Lieut.-Col. Lewis, (recently promoted,) the gallant soldiers Garrard and Cole — both of whose names belong to the history of the battles of Kinston, Whitehall, and Goldsboro — were on this occasion ever on the alert, and were prepared at all times for a desperate opposition to the rebels. The Government should send to this point without delay at least two additional cavalry regiments. There is a

The return home was ordered to-day, and the regiment marched from Young's Cross-Roads to Newbern, twenty-one miles, bringing with them the prizes. They entered Newbern with flags flying and trumpets sounding, and, although somewhat bespattered with mud, yet every man bore a cheerful countenance, and seemed ready for another dash at the rebels. From some of the prisoners it was learned that Stonewall Jackson is in command at Wilmington, and Longstreet, each with their respective corps, at Goldsboro. Among the trophies captured at Trenton, were two American regimental standards, one belonging, to the Twenty-first brigade North-Carolina militia, and the other to the Eighteenth brigade. Both these regiments held themselves loyal until the pressure of public opinion made them give way. Another important capture by the gallant Third was a numerous pack of blood-hounds, belonging to Mr. McDaniel, which were used for catching

The rebel force, observed at this point, consisted of two companies of cavalry and one of infantry. These rebels got behind one of the blockades near Trenton, but when the howitzer-battery of the cavalry commenced playing upon them, they retreated pell mell. They did not appear to relish the grape and canister compliments. The rebels burned the bridge across the Trent River, to impede our advance. This bridge was about one hundred feet long.
