NEwBERN, March 1S.-Laxge numbers Of
deserters came into our lines this afternoon.
They cay the enemy have evacuated both
Goldsboro' and Raleigh, and have fallen back
to Hillsborough, with a view, they think, OF
joining Lee. They report the enemy much de-
moralized and panic-stricken, and improving
every opportunity presented to desert; that
the rebel soldiers agree with the citizens gen.
orally In the belief that there is no chance for
the Confederacy to succeed, and that they are
fighting against hope; that the rebel officers are
giving their opinions openly to the same effect,
and in many cases they abandon the field with
their men, and that these desertiOnS are in
such formidable bodies, and so open and
frequent, that the enemy are powerless to OPP
pose this state OF things, which threatens to
result in a general stampede of their entire
army, SO completely discouraged are their
Off GERS and men.
They also report that Sherman will occupy
Goldsboro to morrow; that his army is in
high spirits, well fed. and drive the enemy in
confusion at every point Such are the current
reports brought in this afternoon and evening
by these refugees, and they are generally cred
tied here.
The enemy, after burning their ram, aban-
doned kinston in great haste, throwing all
their heavy guns into the Neuse river. They

contained several tons Of powder, bat failed

that the rebel Gen. Hoke was killed in the
battle of Friday week, this side of Kinston. 1t
is reported that Bragg had $1,000 men with him
when he attempted to destroy the column that
