"jig Critical Situation of Gen- Foster's Command in North Carolina?It is Believed to be Safe New York, April 9.?From various cor respondents ihu following additional facts are gleaned relative to Gen. Foster's posi tion in Washington, N. C.: On the 30th ult. about 10,000 rebels, un der Gens. Hill and Pettigrew, approached the north side of the town, and seven regi ments on the Bouth bank of the Pamlico river. Two companies of the 44th Massachu setts marched right into an ambuscade, suffering considerably from a withering fire of musketry at short range. Oapt. Lyons' company of North Carolina troops were also badly cat up?three or four killed and six or eight wounded?among the latter Capt Lyons. The gnnboat Gom. Holt opened on the rebels, scattering them. That night the rebols took up all the buoys in the river, planted batteries in such position along the bank as to render it almost impossible for vessels to puss, and established themselves on Red Hill, some two miles from the town, completely commanding our works. Next day the Com. Holt got aground, and waB struck 30 times by the rebel bat teries, but finally got off. Two transports with troops unsuccess fully attempted to reach FoBter. A small lighter succeeded, with supplies of ammu nition. Gen. Hill notified Geo. Foster to remove all the women and children, as be intended to shell the town, bat up to the 2d it had not been done, as our gunboats had kept the batteries fully engaged. On the 4th more gunboats arrived, and others, with nine and eleven inch guns, were expected. The tort is heavily sodded, and Foster has over 2,00 troops. A Newbern letter, dated the 3d inst., 10 P. M., says : The gunboats have arrived at the mouth of the river, and it is-thought they Tvill be able to demolish the rebel batteries. Gflns. Palmer and Bruce have taken such steps as lead to tho removal of all feass for the safety ot Foster. The rebels are reported to have 6,000 men on the road between Newbern and Washington. The Attack on Charleston?Still Nothing Definite, but Indications of Success. Washington, April 8, P. M.?The excite ment hern in regard to the reported attack on Charleston is intense. The Navy aDd War Departments are still without official advices, but no doubt is entertained that the attack has been made, and that the result is unfavorable to the rebels. The continued reticence of the rebel newspapers is regarded as almost certain evidence that they are in possession of news, which canfirm3 the intelligence that Charleston has fallen before the combined attpek of Hunter and Dupont. It has heretofore been the practice of the rebels, whenever they have met with success to send a flag of truce across the Rappahannock, with copics ot their papers, announcing the news. Besides tbis their pickets are very gloomy and de cline to converse at all upon the subject of the attack upon Charleston, or allowing copies of their papers to come across the river. .
