From Burnside’s Expedition

NEW YORK, April 25.

The Newbern Progress, of the 19th, says that ten days before Burnside captured Newbern, some 700 men assembled in Iredell county, west of Raleigh, and hoisted the stars and stripes. A force was sent from Newbern to reduce them, and about twelve were killed.

It is reported that 92 rebel cavalry were captured at Newport, including a Colonel.
