Genera! Foster has been relieved by 8 coup demain, and bie relief relieves us all. ‘This morning I received a Basty note from our corres- pondent om the Pamlico river, giving the details of affairs there; but as he says he was unabie to arrange the facts in pubiishable form, owing to the limited time allowed bi before the despatch boat would leave, I am obliged to rewrite them, and dowel in some other mat- ters of which be, of course, could know nothing. In my former letters I have given 8 journal of all the events im this department as they e transpired, and I will not deviate now. So, commencing where my last letter closed on Saturday last, with the return of General Spinola’s expedition, I will resume. On Saturday night last, immediately upon the return of the above mentioned expedition, and before the exhausted troops had had time to cook their first warm meul for four days or get the Nortn Carolina soil rubbed from their seedy uniforms, some of the oificers of the gallant Fifth Rhode Island regiment (this regiment was one of the fourteen under Spinola) waited upon Geaeral Palmer, aud stated that that body of veterans bad en mass requested permission to either run past the batteries upon the river Delow Washin<ton, or land and capture them bodily. It ie unnecessary to state that the offer was accepted, and the stauach transport Escort, Captain Wall, was brought up to the dock to receive them. They came on board at midvight, #0 nolselersly that not a dozen people knew of it until late the poxt day, when they had arrived in the vicinity of operations. So completely exhausted were the men with their four days’ hard marching and fighting that when they found themselves on board the steamer they sank down to rest and sleep upon the bare decks only as tired warriors can rest under the dew sprinkling canopy of beaven. A run of seven- teen hours brought them to the feet of gunboats, five miles below the battery at Hill’ Point. General Paimer was with them, a# were also Lieutenant Colonel Holfiuan, Acting Adjutant General on General Forter’s staif, aod Colowel MeChesuey, of the First North Carolina Union Volunwers. The brave Rhode Islanders were clamoroun to be put through the ordeal that night; but the com- mandant felt it bis auty—a# it was—to study well the position and weigh carefully the chances. The com Mandant of the pave! fleet was to be consulted, aud joint plane arranged, aii of which took time; so that when all was ready it was #0 near morning, and the mooa was shining # brightly, it was wisely concluded to defer the hazard.us enterprise until Monday night. ‘TRE EXPLOST OF THR MROURT. About ten o'clock on Movday night the gunboats, which bad taken position just below the Hill's Point batiery, opened a brisk fire upon the rebel works, but were un- able to elicit any reply. During the canoomade the ke- ‘ort, loaded with supplies and troops steamed up past the gunboats, and, before the rebels coud realiae the thet, was abreast Of the battery and entering aniemencas block. | ade, which had been buoyed out by Captain Mcbermot. of the Ceres, through wbich she passed in safety, The Hili'a Point batvery did vot molest ber ip passing, owing to the fact that the gunboats kept up such an ineumrant and weil directed dr the fort as to make it impossible tor the Feuels 19 get sir gus inte jowition, “Hub aster se | steamer hae paseed the Diockade her trip waa a d | exciting ome. ibe rebels had posted sharpabn ratte m the river and in the bushes on the sho } they abo Med planted light feild batteries the south bank «f river, channet from the tne which which be i runs, Unuous tiring of yuitey { Gud roar ujeu cour Of ar Wl tlhe erat Wo the distan a.

When the boat arrived witnin the range of the upper battery on Rodman’s farm the rebels opened upon ber with artillery, and as she approached the shore with volley upon volley of musketry, which was continued ‘Without intermission until all tho batteries had been passed. As have already informed you, the channel of the river, for about four miles between Hill's Point and Rodman’s farm, runs close in shore, where the rebel bat- teries aro placed, and the danger was most imminent. As soon as the upper battery on Rodman’s farm bad beem passed, the second one took up the fire, and the third, and continued it until the Escort had reached a point witbiu range of the works at Hill’s Tonite Then the n ise of the cannonading and musketry ax indeed terrible.

Letter from Gen Corcoran te Colonel Hawkins. TO THE EDITOR OF TH HERALD. No, 6 Cxvras Srauer, New Youu, April 19, 1863, ‘The foliowtg is a copy of a letter from Gen, Corcoran to Col, Hawkios, relative to the death of the late Col. Kimball. 1t was given into my charge when leaving Suf- folk, Va., on the moruing of Friday, the 37th tmat., with discretionary power to make it public or not after my ar- rival in this city. Had the New York newspapers, and some very injud\- cious friends uf Col, Kimball, waited for the result of a Military Investigation of the melancholy catastrophe in quesiion, I should deem it premature to lay Gen. Coreo- Fan's statement of the real {ucts of the caso thus oarly before the pubic. But as reports have been already pro. mulgated through the press respecting i which are either fais in every material particular, with the ex- ception of the unavoidable result, or eige erroneous, and inaccurate im several important details, | think it due to my friend, the Goneral, to give immediate publicity ¢o bis own statement of the afftir—a statement similar to one which has been already made, verbaly, to Major Generals Dix and Peck, and which met with their wnqualified approbation.
