Clingman’s command, to protect the two bridges.

Un the ttiorning ol the 17th, having no caval­ry, and being unable to obtain information by other means, 1 directed Lieut. Col. Stevens, 'ot the Engiueers, with two brigades and 5 pieces ot artillery, to make a reconnoissance, lor the pur­pose ot ascertaining the position and numbers of the enemy. Gen. Evans’ brigade had then reach­ed Goldsboro’, by rail, and remaining on board, only awaited the clearing of the track, and water­ing of the engines, to move by rail to the position already occupied by Gen. Clingman with his three regiments, about 1-? miles beyond the rail­road bridge. The capacity o f the watertanks being inadequate for the amount o f transportiition accumulated here at that time, the oars wcje de­layed until alter 12 o’clock for want ol water; pending which the enemy ajipeared in torcf be­fore Gen. Clinginan’s throe ri j^lmeuts, nud I e withdrew across the w unty bridge to this sid- '1 the river. The artillery o f the enemy was inlay­ing u{ on the railroad bridge; and Ev:;!is’s bn^itd * had at last to move forward by the comity road, and cross, i f at all, the bridge a h:i{t tu.;e abu’. c the railroad.

About two o’clock in the afternoon one b il-; and darintr incendiary succeeded in reucliiuir ' ‘ i' bridge, and covcrcd by the witii:, wall of (he abutaicnt, lighted a flame which suon >4estro>id the saiicr'tructure, leaving the masonry, abut­ments and pier intact. A t t in t tini" u i i i l ’orce- ment.^ which I had ordered tVom Kichiuond were hourly expected.

It wn« very i ’-iip . i’taiit i' ■- u. • \v ' - .- 'e county bridge, the only .ns- iciiViining o f cross­ing the river in this vii.iuity. Evans’s and Cling- nian’s brigades were tirdered to cross, suppurted 'oy I'ettigrew’s brigade, and the .'lissis.sippi bri­gade, just coming in, was ordered to move ifr- ward at once.

The enemy were driven back from their posi­tion on the line of the railroad, but on aeeount ol the lateness o f the bour, *4ie nature of tiic

I ground, and the fact that our artilieiy, cavaliy and 'a larire portion ot the reinforcements hud not yet

arrive<i, it w.as not advisable to attufk their strong second position that evening.

'During the night the enemy made a hurried re treat ti? their foi'tifjeations and gunboats, moving with such celerity that it was usclass to attiinj.L puri^uit with any Other arm than cavalry, ol .. inch at that time, unfortunatel} , we hud none

I rejjret that this grand •'rmy of invasion did not remain in the interior long enough for us to get at them. A s it is, they burned the -;upersir'ic- tur<* o f two bridges wliich cost originally less than §10 ,QUO, and can be replaced at once, and have utterly failed to attempt to take advantage o f the temporary and partial interruption o f our railroad line, for the purpose o f striking a decisive blow at any important point before we could thoroughly re-establish our communicatitm with it,

t beg leave to Cill your attention to the reports of Lieut. Col. Stevens,C. S Engineers, and to Lieut. Col. Pool, a.s well a.s to tht'se of the three Briga­dier Generals previously named.

Our loss is reported at 71 killed and 208 woun­ded and about 4(M> mi.-sing. Most of the latter were taken prisoners at Kiit^iton bridge, and have since been returned paroled.

The Xtw State. AihnhiiKtrution in ev: Yurk — A N ew York letter-writer, in noticing the remark o f a Washington coi respondent, that it was understood there that Governor Seymuur, who goes into office on the first of January, will allow o f no more arbitrary arrests in New York State, says:

The writer is perfeatly correct (as 1 happen to know) as to the arbitrarj^ arrests. The (Jovern- or's message, which is now about tini«hed. and which will be sent in to the l>egisla ture a week fi*om tomorrow, will take u n cq u iv u ca i y nuti l , in that respect, but more immediat- ly p . ip o r ta n t than that, perhaps, will be the declared deter­mination to uu lint ft m State mt fssthe ftOeTdl u(1 tn i»> tiot ton rt'ctfle fi'um itf-emancipation policy

I giv® you this as a matter of news, which the public gen e ra l ly will be Interested to hear. M y authority for it i? as reliable as that of the Gov- e r n o f himself. Mr. Seymour's idea is, that' it i« not within the strict line of bi.<* duty to his oon- stituents, nor to the country at large, to permit white men to b« taken from their families heiw to free negroes South, and this idea, you tnay rolf U])on it, will bo worked out in the u: f!-.*will, at the .same time, rfit ' ntf, liis ■’ i .'-t i; ti in to pu.*!h-on the war for tht :-tn . n . the rebellion, pledging all the r< - t York,, in men and iii'oney, i f th;* ■ -but go for the “ Uaiuu it uiiu ihu cuu-
