Doc. 166.-fight at Blount's Mills, N. C. A National account. Newbern, N. C., April 11, 1863. Our expedition left Fort Anderson, on the Neuse River, opposite Newbern, at three P. M. on Wednesday, eighth instant, for the purpose of relieving Washington, by an overland route. We marched that afternoon as far as New-Hope school-house, on the road toward Swift Creek, where a part of the command, through a mistake of orders, encamped for the night, while the advance pushed on to Little Swift Creek, four miles beyond. From this point our cavalry went to within a mile of Great Swift Creek, where they ascertained that the rebels had destroyed the bridge and barricaded the roads so it would be impossible to proceed. They also learned that the enemy were encamped there, about fifteen thousand strong, with batteries arranged to command the roads approaching in every direction. Finding it impossible to proceed by this route, we next attempted to gain the other side of the swamp

Finding the contest so unequal, and the possibility of our crossing so very slim, General Spinola ordered his command to fall back to New-Hope. The artillery, however, as a parting salute, sent a few shells into the mill and lumber-piles, and when we left, they were in a fine blaze.
