the stocks, several schooners afloat, and an immense quantity of arms and munitions of war, fell into our hands. At about four P. M., I sent several of our vessels to the right bank of the Trent River, to carry Gen. Foster's brigade to occupy the city of Newbern. I am respectfully, S. C. Rowan, Com. U. S. Naval Forces in Pamlico Sound. Gen. Foster's report. headquarters Gen. Poster's brigade, Department of North-Carolina, Newbern, March 20, 1862. Capt. Lewis Richmond, Assist. Adjt-General: I have the honor to report that in pursuance of the orders of Gen. Burnside, and in accordance with the plan of operations agreed upon, I proceeded to land my brigade, on the thirteenth inst., at Slocum's Creek. I took on board the Pilot-Boy about five hundred men of the Twenty-fourth Massachusets Volunteers, and towing the boats of my brigade, carrying about six hundred more, reached the mouth of the creek, and landed without molestation.

cated the line of the Peninsula now advise its abandonment. I have not inquired, and do not desire to know, by whose advice or for what reasons the army of the Potomac was separated into two parts, with the enemy before them. I must take things as I find them. I find our forces divided, and I wish to unite them. Only one feasible plan has been presented for doing this. If you or any one else had presented a better one, I certainly should have adopted it; but all of your plans require reenforcements which it is impossible to give you. It is very easy to ask for reenforcements, but it is not so easy to give them when you have no disposable troops at your command. I have written very plainly, as I understand the case, and I hope you will give me credit for having carefully considered the matter, although I may have arrived at different conclusions from your own. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, H. W. Halleck, General-in-Chief, official copy: J. C. Kelton, Assist. Adjt-Gen.

and making sad havoc among the horses. The cavalry could not leave their position, for the guns would have been lost. They succeeded, however, in bringing the pieces away. The command reached the river about sunset, and recrossed. Our loss is nine killed, thirty-five wounded, and forty taken prisoners. We killed and wounded a large number of the enemy, and brought away sixty prisoners. Lieut. Dimmock, of the Fourth New-York cavalry, is mortally wounded. He behaved most gallantly. Adjt-Gen. Bowditch, of General Duffie's staff, was struck over the head with a sabre, and received a pistol-shot in the groin. Major Chamberlain, Acting Aid-de-Camp to General Averill, was wounded in the nose and cheek. Among the rebel officers taken was Major Breckenridge, of the First Virginia cavalry. The prisoners are a sorry-looking set. --N. Y. Times. Another account. Falmouth, Va., March 18, 1868. Your special correspondent, who accompanied General Averill's cavalry exped

General,--We have the honor to request of you authority to raise ten companies of colored troops in the vicinity of Montgomery, Ala.
