Your communication of 10. 30 p. m. yesterday received at 8 a. m. to- day. Reports from Kinsotn place the enemy at seven miles this side, which is impossible. This morning everything was all righ from Falling Creek bridge to ths point. Commanders must furnish gaurds for their trains between Kinston and Goldsborugh unless I have special orders. One train of 180 wagons is on the road with but one regiment. I trust the enemycannot ghet very rnear me without my gettinginforamtion of their approach. Women are r avished and robbed by stragglers all over the country.
