WARHINGTON RUMOKs.

WASHINGTON March H.
Special to the Commercial Advertiser
The rumors of disaster toSchofeld orig
mated in boastful dispatch from Bragg,
published in Richmond paper, claiming 3
that he had checked him. No importance
whatever is attached to the statement, and
it is believed that both Schofeld and Sher-
man are all right.
Vice President johnson was in the Capt.
tol to-day but did not preside in the Senate
His health is much better.
The rumors of battle by schofeld in
North Carolina attract increased attention
but nothing can be ascertained from any
reliable source. They are evidently found
ed on the doubtful Bragg dispatch in the
Richmond papers. No reliable news of
Sherman yet.
Good news has been received from Sheri-
dan. The remnants of Esrly's forces have
fed to the mountains. The rebel army is
believed to be broken up.

The Ifi6uhs's Washington special says:
Senators Wilson, Foote, Morrill,, Wade,

tions prevail that he has severely crippled
the rebel forces sent to oppose his progress.

FROM GEN. SHERMAN.
New YORK, March II.
The TFi6mssS Wilmington letter of the
7th, ssys advices deemed Trustworthy, have
been received from Gen. Sherman, con-
frming the reports which reached US sew
ersl days since, that his main army passed
into North Carolina at least four days
ago. His route lay through Cneramsie.-
The confederate forces of General Hardee
were reported to be lying on two
sides of the Pedes, which river Sherman
had successfully crossed, placing himself
between Hardee and Besuregard.

since entering North Caroline, it would be
oontrsbsnd to mention.

uaTCu o
Quiet continues in this Department and
is likely to do so, as far as any movements
are concerned, for the roads are in very bad
condition, owing to the recent heavy rains.
Troops are being drilled daily and new
arms, clothing, &c, issued preparatory to
the coming campaign.
The men are in excellent condition.
Deserters continue to come in, although
they are not so numerous as heretofore.
About thirty arrived to-day through the
lines of the 5th and 9th corps.
It is reported that four men were shot on
their way over.
The 1st corps advanced their picket lines
a short distance this morning and it is re-
ported to have found rebel colored troops on
the picket lines in their front. If this is
true it shows that the rebels have at least
adopted the policy of srming their slsYes.

Yesterday Co. B, 9th N. C. Confederate
Cavalry, which was raised in the western
part of the State, came into our lines in q
body, with their two Lieutenants, their
horses and equipments, numbering over
sixty men, and delivered themselves into
the hands of the Federal commanding Off
Ger. After Dartaking of bountiful feast at
Camp Palmer, they, with the old flag at
the head of their column, entered the city,
the hospitality Of which they are now en-
joying.
When these men were informed that they
would receive pay for their horses and
arms, and be furnished employment, or al
lowed to 80 North, they remarked that if
it was generally known in the South that
such reception awaited the Confederate
soldiers in our lines, the entire army of the
Confederaoy would follow their example.
The arrival of the remainder of this regi-
ment within our lines is daily looked for.
They say that KinstOn is being evacuated,
snd that the South Carolina troops are the
first to give up and acknowledge that the
South is whipped.

HEADQUARTERS, oEC.1 mhIcH Stha
Gen. j. C. Breckenridge, See'y of War:
General Bragg reports that he attacked
the enemy yesterday four miles in front Of
Kinston, and drove him from his position.
he disputed the ground obstinately, and
took up q new line three miles from his
first. We captured three pieces Of artillery
and 1900 prisoners The number Of the
enemy's dead on the field is large. Ours
comparatively small. The troops behaved
most handsomely, and Msjor Generals Hill
and Hoke exhibited their usual zeal and
energy.
[Signed, R. z. LEE.
Kinston, near which the fight occurred,
is situated in the direct route from Colds
boro to NewberD, and is about 20 miles
east Of Goldsboro, and about 80 from New
bern.
1t is supposed that this force of the enc
my was advancing from Newbern against
Goldsboro for the purpose of cutting the
Railroad at that point. It is not probable,
after this repulse, that the enemy will at
tempt to advance and it is likely we shall
next hear of them falling back on New
bern or changing their course to some other
point Of the compass.
This movement of lhe enemy was evi-
IDENTIFY designed to be cooperation with
Sherman and In this light, and in this
juncture it may be Of great value to US
In embarrassing the movements Of Sher-
man.
