The second advance of the enemy in North Carolina.
The second advance of the
Yankees in
North Carolina has resulted as the first did, in their repulse.
The skirmish took place below
Kinston, on Friday.
The enemy, it is said, lost several killed and wounded, but it is not known how many.
The enemy on Saturday--in what force it is not known — were at
White Oak river, on the
Onslow line, below
Trenton, and about 21 or 22 miles from
Newbern.
There are none known to be between
Trenton and
Kinston.
The entire force at
Newbern is thought to be thirteen or fourteen regiments, probably not more than 5,000 to 6,000 effective men. We hardly think that an advance with such a force is much to be treaded.
