72-74. ROANOKE CAPTURE OF NEWBERtf. 919 followed up and their entire force about 3. 000 on the * I . I A . island of Roanoke was captured. 1862 Burnside issued the usual proclamation, promising pro- tection to those engaged in their usual avocations and enjoining the Union soldiers not to injure private property on their march. Eoanoke Island became the base of opera- tions ; and from it were sent out many expeditions which essentially interfered with the English blockade runners by seizing har...bors and filling channels of approach. The most important capture of Newbern on the Neuse was accomplished by a combined land and naval force. The troops landed 17 miles below the town, and marched up the road along the river bank and a railway track from Beau- fort, the gunboats by their shells keeping the enemy at a respectful distance. About three miles below the town was found a formidable field work, which promised to offer much resistance. This fortification was flanked by a swamp and Burnside sent a detachment round, while he pressed the enemy in front ; the detachment appeared on the flank, but the Confederates held their ground until a Ehode Island regiment, on the run, charged bayonet and changed the tide of battle ; other Union troops pressed on and the rout was complete.
