Rebel Accounts.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The reports in
Richmond OF the fighting In North Caro-
lima, as given by the Despatch, OF that city,
and in Gen. Grants Official bulletin, do not
conform with those given in the Raleigh
papers:
It hopes within = few days to give cheering
intelligence. So far everything is encour-
aging in the affair which occurred q few
days since between Hardee's and Sher-
mans forces. We repulsed successfully,
five assaults upon our lines, and held our
position until the object was effected in
drawing off We lost, two guns because
the horses had been killed. Our loss in
the affair was about 400 killed and wound
ed-the enemys about 1000 OF the battle
on Sunday, correspondents state that We
~ decided advantage was gained by our
troops. The enemy were driven several
miles with heavy loss. We captured some
artillery. The first battle occurred on the
10th, near the junction of the Black with
the South rivers, on the Fayetteville and
Goldsboro road, some fifteen miles below
Bentonsville, in the vicinity Of which place
the battle Of sunday occurred. 81
So it appears the rebels fell back Il miles
after gaining victory on the 18th inst, in
which the Union loss was bloody one. II
is evident that no decisive battle had been
fought.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 23d saws
Goldsboro has been evacuated. At latest
accounts the enemy had not entered.
The organization of cOlored troops in
Richmond is going on as rapidly as posi-
bic. .
+ The Petersburg Express says Grants
trains were moving all Saturday night
with troops towards the left of his line.
It may have been only another see-saw
movement to deceive. The weather, how.
ever, is very fine, and Grant may advance,
though it is believed he will not move till
Sherman is nearer.
The Wig of the ed learns that FitzhuQh
Lees cavalry attacked Sheridan at the
White House on the 2lst, and severely pun
ished him.

leaving many dead and wounded on the
field. The roar OF musketry on this ground
was as severe and continuous for two or
three hours as ever heard, and was not
surpassed even by that heard at the Will
derness. Gen. Miles and his officers and
men, particularly the Irish Brigade, re-
ceived the highest praise for gallant be-
havi0r on this Occasion. The Sd Division,
under Gen. Mott, held the center of the
line, and repulsed each attack of the enc
my with spirit, although the contest here
wan not as desperate as in front Of the 1st
Division.
The I'd division held the extreme left of
the line toward Hatchers Run, the brigade
commanded by Gen. Smith only being en-
gagged. They advanced at the same time,
and the rest Of the line took part OF the
enemy's work witha number OF prisoners.
The losses in the I'd corps as near as can
be ascertained are about 900, with probably
400 missing. Among the casualties are
the following: Col. Billie, 10th Pa, wound.
ed; 1t. Col. Andrews, I'd Ind, wounded !;
Maj. Hamilton, 10th Pa, wounded; and
Capt. Stewart, 10th Pa, killed. e
The engagement between the 9th corps
and the enemy was not 30 severe as at other
partsQft the line where the I'd and 9th fought.
Hcre also the object Of the attack was to
feel the enemy and ascertain if the works
wereoccupied in force. Some Of our troops
finally reached the rebel pickets and took
