Mr. McManus received a letter from his son yesterday, in which he says his regiment was engaged in the fight at Newbern all day. He went through unhurt. We are pleased to hear this fact, especially as there was much reason to fear, the regiment being so badly cut up, a contrary result. Some glorious fighting was there done by the sons of the Puritans, showing that those mighty men of valor, who feared God only, are worthily represented in the armies of the republic they founded.
