Newbern Items.

--The New York World publishes a letter from Newbern, N. C., dated May 6th, from which we extract the following:

A sensation was created here by the marriage this morning of Charles W. Lawrence, of Boston, a member of the 44th Massachusetts, to the accomplished daughter of Israel Disosway, a banker in Newbern. After making a transfer of his property to the bride-groom, the father left our lines with other disloyal citizens.

Nearly 12,000 men belonging to the two years and nine months regiments in this department, will soon be mustered out of the service. It is hoped that the patriotism of the North will perceive the propriety of raising a fund to promote enlistments in loyal North Carolina regiments.

The U. S. transport Long Island, Captain Phillips, accidentally took fire on the evening of the 30th ult., and was entirely destroyed.
