four skiffs in front passed by and turned into shore. Instantly, almost, those following were in touch of the gunboat, and when Colonel Wood gave the signal the boys clambered on the sides as nimbly as squirrels. They all knew what was expected of them and went to work. The sentinel was captured before he could arouse his comrades, therefore little difficulty was experienced in making the crew prisoners. The officers of the vessel tried to rally the crew, and the Commander, Lieutenant Westervelt, and four or five marines, who refused to surrender were killed. The little band of Confederates behaved as if each was a captain, and covered every part of the boat without a moment's delay. The guns of the fort were not exceeding 100 yards distant, but Colonel Wood's plans were carried out so perfectly and noiselessly the garrison was not aware of what transpired below them. Colonel Wood thought to make the Underwriter his flagship, but finding the boilers cold set fire to

Incidents of the Newbern fight. --A Goldsborough correspondent of the Petersburg Express gives some further incidents of the capture of Newbern: Calvin Dibble, a former resident of Newbern, came with Burnside, bringing several vessels to carry off the cotton and spirits of turpentine. Most of these articles were destroyed by the citizens, but strangely enough a large amount of spirits turpentine, owned by John Dibble, was not destroyed. Capt. Westervelt, who formerly ran a schooner between Newbern and New York, came as a pilot for the fleet, and a man named Berry, who left Newbern since the war commenced, has also returned with the invaders. The Yankee pickets extend to the distance of 5 or 10 miles around the town, and about 1,000 soldiers are encamped at the Clemmins larm, about four miles west of Newbern. The Confederates have rallied, been reinforced, and are at a place where they will be heard from in due time. It is confidently expected that Burnsid

The man Dibble, who is said to have recently piloted the Yankees in their raid on Newbern, it was stated in yesterday's Dispatch obtained his passport to go North, when in Richmond in November last, at the Passport Office in this city. This was an error.--He (Dibble) and one Capt. Westervelt (also with the Yankees in their recent excursion) came to Richmond after the expiration of the President's Proclamation (forty days allowance to alien enemies to leave the country,) but were refused passports by Col. Jones, chief of that office. On the representations of the two creatures to the Secretary of War, backed by the endorsement of sundry softheaded citizens, he granted the scoundrels a special passport to leave the Southern Confederacy.

said We burned her and retired, under fire from the shore batteries and also from a volley of musketry which whistled along the water. All the prisoners were secured but three or four, who jumped into a small boat and made for the shore. Captain Westervelt was one of this number. We could hear the cheers of the soldiery as they struck the bank. The morning of the attack the "Underwriter" had been hauled in shore as far as possible, and had her guns on the land side, trained upon the Neuse road, by which it was supposed we should advance. The other gunboat taking the alarm made up the Trent as fast as her steam would carry her, and, luckily for us, did not dare take part in the fight. Westervelt was slightly wounded in the leg by a ball which passed through his cabin. His officers say he was not upon the deck during the engagement, and accuse him of cowardice. When the shell exploded on the decks he leaped overboard, and, I dare say, will appear next as a Munchausen story tell
