and retreating to Bcntonvile.
AT Bentonvile. on Sunday, the 10Th,

by the rest of the division, drove the
enemy back, and during Sunday night
he abandoned Bentonville, and fell

In a few moments some of Sherman's
trains of the 10th Corps were disco

Bridge, and tho junction of the right
wing of Shermans army with Terrys
and Scho6eld's forces was permanent
ly made. Sherman had notified Scho.
field that he would be at Goldsboro'
on tho 22d March, and he kept his
word. Some of his staff were there
during that day. After his repulso at
Bentonvillo, Joe Johnston fell back to
Smithiield to cover Raleigh. Descr-
tions Of North Carolina troops in his
