Small reinforcements arrived from Pet^r.-^burg and Vrilmington, on the lo th , on.n regiment ot which was placed in position to cover tne railroad bridge over the Neuse, near this place.

On the IfUh, a regiment arrived, from Wilmington, a n l one from PeStersburg, both of which were sent to the right bank o f the river, and placed under fien. Clingman’s command, to protect the two bridges.
Un the ttiorning ol the 17th, having no cavalry, and being unable to obtain information by other means, 1 directed Lieut. Col. Stevens, 'ot the Engiueers, with two brigades and 5 pieces ot artillery, to make a reconnoissance, lor the purpose ot ascertaining the position and numbers of the enemy. Gen. Evans’ brigade had then reached Goldsboro’, by rail, and remaining on board, only awaited the clearing of the track, and watering of the engines, to move by rail to the position already occupied by Gen. Clingman with his three regiments, about 1-? miles beyond the railroad bridge. The capacity o f the watertanks being inadequate for the amount o f transportiition accumulated here at that time, the oars wcje delayed until alter 12 o’clock for want ol water; pending which the enemy ajipeared in torcf before Gen. Clinginan’s throe ri j^lmeuts, nud I e withdrew across the w unty bridge to this sid- '1 the river. The artillery o f the enemy was inlaying u{ on the railroad bridge; and Ev:;!is’s bn^itd * had at last to move forward by the comity road, and cross, i f at all, the bridge a h:i{t tu.;e abu’. c the railroad.
About two o’clock in the afternoon one b il-; and darintr incendiary succeeded in reucliiuir ' ‘ i' bridge, and covcrcd by the witii:, wall of (he abutaicnt, lighted a flame which suon >4estro>id the saiicr'tructure, leaving the masonry, abutments and pier intact. A t t in t tini" u i i i l ’orce- ment.^ which I had ordered tVom Kichiuond were hourly expected.
It wn« very i ’-iip . i’taiit i' ■- u. • \v ' - .- 'e county bridge, the only .ns- iciiViining o f crossing the river in this vii.iuity. Evans’s and Cling- nian’s brigades were tirdered to cross, suppurted 'oy I'ettigrew’s brigade, and the .'lissis.sippi brigade, just coming in, was ordered to move ifr- ward at once.
The enemy were driven back from their position on the line of the railroad, but on aeeount ol the lateness o f the bour, *4ie nature of tiic
I ground, and the fact that our artilieiy, cavaliy and 'a larire portion ot the reinforcements hud not yet
arrive<i, it w.as not advisable to attufk their strong second position that evening.
'During the night the enemy made a hurried re treat ti? their foi'tifjeations and gunboats, moving with such celerity that it was usclass to attiinj.L puri^uit with any Other arm than cavalry, ol .. inch at that time, unfortunatel} , we hud none

I rejjret that this grand •'rmy of invasion did not remain in the interior long enough for us to get at them. A s it is, they burned the -;upersir'ic- tur<* o f two bridges wliich cost originally less than §10 ,QUO, and can be replaced at once, and have utterly failed to attempt to take advantage o f the temporary and partial interruption o f our railroad line, for the purpose o f striking a decisive blow at any important point before we could thoroughly re-establish our communicatitm with it,
t beg leave to Cill your attention to the reports of Lieut. Col. Stevens,C. S Engineers, and to Lieut. Col. Pool, a.s well a.s to tht'se of the three Brigadier Generals previously named.
Our loss is reported at 71 killed and 208 wounded and about 4(M> mi.-sing. Most of the latter were taken prisoners at Kiit^iton bridge, and have since been returned paroled.

The Xtw State. AihnhiiKtrution in ev: Yurk — A N ew York letter-writer, in noticing the remark o f a Washington coi respondent, that it was understood there that Governor Seymuur, who goes into office on the first of January, will allow o f no more arbitrary arrests in New York State, says:
The writer is perfeatly correct (as 1 happen to know) as to the arbitrarj^ arrests. The (Jovern- or's message, which is now about tini«hed. and which will be sent in to the l>egisla ture a week fi*om tomorrow, will take u n cq u iv u ca i y nuti l , in that respect, but more immediat- ly p . ip o r ta n t than that, perhaps, will be the declared determination to uu lint ft m State mt fssthe ftOeTdl u(1 tn i»> tiot ton rt'ctfle fi'um itf-emancipation policy
I giv® you this as a matter of news, which the public gen e ra l ly will be Interested to hear. M y authority for it i? as reliable as that of the Gov- e r n o f himself. Mr. Seymour's idea is, that' it i« not within the strict line of bi.<* duty to his oon- stituents, nor to the country at large, to permit white men to b« taken from their families heiw to free negroes South, and this idea, you tnay rolf U])on it, will bo worked out in the u: f!-.*will, at the .same time, rfit ' ntf, liis ■’ i .'-t i; ti in to pu.*!h-on the war for tht :-tn . n . the rebellion, pledging all the r< - t York,, in men and iii'oney, i f th;* ■ -but go for the “ Uaiuu it uiiu ihu cuu-
