sheridan, sherman and schoheld's
Movements.
New YORK, March 23.-The Times
special says: The steamer from Beaufort
on the goth, and Fortress Monroe on the
2lst, has arrived, bringing intelligence that
Sherman's right wing occupied Goldsboro
on, the 18th. The information came from
Schofeld's advance, which was moving
on Goldsboro from Kinston, and is well
authenticated. Sherman left Fayetteville
on the l4th. His left wing moved from
Fayetteville in the direction of Mitchells
Station, where the railroad to Raleigh
crossed the Neuse river by long and ex-
tensive bridge. This point is about
twenty-five miles west of Goldsboro.
SchofeId, having no enemy in his front,
would at once form a junction with
Sherman.
The HeraldS Newbern correspondent,
10th, says: Navigation up the river has
been re-opened. Five vessels cleared yes
terday for Kinston. Supplies for the
army are being gathered by this new
channel. 1t is great assistance for the
limited transportation by rail.
The Commercials special says: The
Richmond papers just received, contain
1 nothing conirmatory of the check to Sher-
man. There Is scarcely concealed hope
lessness in the tone'of the Richmond press,
that augers well for Sherman. So far, the
best informed military authorities here re-
gard Sherman's position as eminently
hopeful. He is approaching a point where
the rebels must fight if they wish to hold
Richmond, or prevent the easy consum-
nation of Grants plans. l.. = .
The Commd ciaFs special says: The War
Department is reported to have received
dispatches from Fortress Monroe, that
Sherman had arrived before the defences
of Raleigh on Saturday, and having plant
ed his guns in position, sent summons to
Johnston to surrender. The result is not
given.
F,RTREss MONROE, March 22.-The
steamer Parthenia, from Newbern, with
mails add dispatches, has arrived. Scho-
fields army has removed from Kinston.
North Carolina, with view to Join Sher-
man and Terry near Goldsboro, where,
according to last advlces, the rebels were
assembling in strong force under John
ston and Bragg, with the intention of CIV
ing battle and making "a desperate resist
ance before surrendering the town. At
fairs in and around Kinston are compare
lively quiet.
New York, March 23.-The HeralEs
special says an officer from Fayetteville
reports that the column which the Raleigh
papers mention as moving toward Hills
boro, is Sherman's left wing moving to-
ward the North Carolina railroad to de-
stroy the bridge over the river between
Raleigh and Goldsboro. Thousands OF
refugees are on the way to Wilmington.
The wharves of all the landings between
Fayettevills and Wilmington are filled up
with resin, turpentine, cotton, etc. The
value of the property captured amounts to
millions.
Operations of KiIpntrick's Cavalry.
The Tfi5une's Wilmington letter de-
scribes the operations of Kilpatrick's cav
airy during the recent campaign. The
principal encounters with Wheeler were
on the 9Th and 9th of February. During
his march through South Carolina there
was much devastation, but on entering
North Carolina different policy was pur-
sued. In Wade Hdmpton's attack, our
camp was surprised IN the morning; the
fighting was of the most desperate char.
acter. Our camp was taken and retaken
six times. At last we drove off the enc.
my. They made several charges on oul
artillery, but were unable to take it. The
rebels left 70 dead and over 100 wounded
on the field; our total loss was 245,
Among the rebels killed were Gen. Hume:
and Col. Aiken, commanding brigade
Two rebel colonies were wounded, and
among them the notorious Col. Haines, ii
command of Tennessee brigade; also
fifteen observation-disclosures and majors
The surgeon of the JEFF. Davis Legion
said he had every ambulance and wagon
filled with commissioned officers.
Joe Johnston Reports a Wet DRY.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Rich.
mond Examiner to-day, contains the fol.
lowing. ...
Headquarters, March 20.-To Breckin.
ridge: General Johnston reports that
about P. NJ. on the 10th, he attacked the
enemy near Bentonyille. routed him, and
captured three guns q mile in the rear
He rallied on fresh troops, but was forced
back slowly, until F. NJ, when, receiving
more troops, he apparently assumed the
offensive, which was resisted without diff.
ticulty until dark. This morning, he is
entrenched. Our loss was small, the
troops behaved admirably. Dense thick.
cts prevented active operations. On the
-llth Stanton had announced that Sher-
man was doing finely, and that his army
was at Fayetteville, quietly resting pre-
paratory to another advance northward.
1t seems that he did advance, but not far.
This successful attack by Johnston, gives
us the earnest hope that the redoubtable
Sherman has at length met his match.
JEFF. Davis and the Rebel Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Rich.
mond papers of the Goth contains a long
reply, mady by select committee, to the
accusations Of jeff. Davis, in which his
Senators charge that it was he who was
guilty of hardness, inefficiency and want
Of decision. They say, with very few ex-
ceptions, every law that he suggested was
speedily enacted. All he asked was
readily granted. On matters which he
charged them with neslecting, he failed to
give them the information requested,
which was necessary to enable them to
