Here the Yankees secured about 25 kegs of gunpowder, which had been stored there for the manufacture of cartridges. The steamer Post Boy was destroyed by the Confederates, but the Albemarle, with a schooner in tow, loaded with commissary stores, was taken by the gunboats of the enemy. It is said that Burnside sent in a couple of officers, under a white flag, to declare to the people that they would not be molested, nor would their property be interfered with. It was stated, however, that all soldiers or other persons found with arms in their hands would be arrested.

The retreat, we hear, was well conducted at first and in good order, but finally became a rout, the men throwing away their arms and everything else that could possibly impede their progress. Fort Thompson was the most formidable fortification on the river. It was four miles from Newbern, and mounted 18 heavy guns, two of them rifled 82-pounders. Fort Ellis, three miles from Newbern, mounted eight heavy guns. It was commanded by Capt. Edelin's Company B, First Maryland regiment. Finding that the other fortifications had fallen; Capt.

He complained but little, and said his pains were not severe. The obstructions which had been pl
