nd a brass band, we could not detach any force in that direction. Finally, Captain Foster, who had misapprehended the whole situation, and who had orders to put botheded being some one to give the alarm in case there was an attempt to break in. Foster thought that out of his several hundred workmen he could get a few Union men to engineers, for Lieutenants Snyder and Meade had been sent by Floyd to help Captain Foster do the work on the forts. The boats had been used in going back and forwaravis of my company had been left with a rearguard at Moultrie.

The offer was accepted, and the 8th Connecticut and the 5th Rhode Island were ordered to his support. Passing the rifle-pits, he entered the rear of the intrenchments, moving toward the right, capturing nine brass guns and driving the enemy from his intrenched position between the railroad and the river. Simultaneously with the movement of Colonel Rodman, General Foster made a charge along his whole front, when the enemy retreated. During the greater part of the action the gun-boats cooperated by shelling the woods in the rear of the works.

Immediately after the close of the action, New Berne was occupied. When the strength of the position is taken into consideration, the fatigue of the
