The News From North Carolina. The news of the reverse at Newbern, N. C., which we publish this morning, was received here with regret, though no one acqualuted with the situation of affairs at that point could have been surprised at the result. A small land force, without adequate fortifications, could not be expected to hold out against an imments first of gunboats, accompanied by a numerous army; and it is difficult to conceive why, under such circumstances, any attempt was made t experience within the past few weeks. The brutal contact of the invaders, in assalling the helpless women and children as they were fleeing for safty, will not be apt to exalt the Yankes character much in the eyes of civilized nations; nor do we conetive that the occupation of Newbern gives them any real advantage, except in the depredations they may and doubtless will make upon private property in the vicinity. At present, we see no cases for discouragement grewing out of the transection.

The disasters of Hatteras, Fort Henry, Roanoke Island, and Fort Donelson, are all fit subjects for rigid scrutiny. And we have just had Fernandina and Newbern added. Here we have nothing but disaster, and the public mind has settled down to the conviction that, with proper forecaste and precaution every one of these sad and mortifying reverses could have been averted. They present a catalogue of blunders and defaulte that would, under experienced military Governments, be fatal to all by whom they were committed.-- Feris improperly and fatally located and engineered; men isolated on indefensible positions, and in one case an alleged impregnable series of fortifications abandend to the enemy. Capt. Dupont, the Federal commander, considered the fortifications below Fernandina very powerful — sufficient to have def
