Doc. 163.-bread riots in Richmond, Va. New-York Herald account. headquarters army of the Potomac, April 11, 1863. A refugee from Richmond, who left that city on Tuesday, gives an interesting account of the riot of the second instant.

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.

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.
