THE BATTLE NEAR PETERSBURG ON SA-
TURDAY-THE YANKEES CLAIM VIC
TORY.
Secretary Stanton, in a dispatch to
General Dix, says that, on Saturday
morning, Ut 4:3O o'clock, "the enemy,
by. a strong and sudden assault, captured
Fort Steadman; but, after a vigorous
contest, the fort was recaptured, with
one thousand prisoners, two flags, and
all the guns uninjured. General Nc
Laughlin was taken prisoner by the
rebels, who also assaulted Fort Haskell,
but were repulsed with great loss"
Then follow the official dispatches from
General Grant, communicating, frst one
from General Parke, which we copy:
The enemy attacked my front this
morning at about half>past four o'clock,
with three divisions, under command Of
General Gordon.
BY a sudden rush, they seized the
line held by the Third brigade, First d.
vision, at the foot of the hill to the right
of Fart Steadman, wheeled, and, over~
towering the garrison, took possession of
the fort.
They established themselves upon the
hill, turning our guns upon us.
Our troops on either flank stood firm.
Afterward, determined attack was
made upon Fort Haskell, which was
checked by part Of McLaughlin's bri-
gade, Wilcox's division, and was re-
pulsed with great loss to the enemy.
The First brigade of Hartsuff's divi>
Sion, held in the reserve, was brought
up, and check given to any further
advance.
One or two attempts were made to
retake the hill, and were only tempo~
rarily successful, until the arrival Of the
Second brigade, when a charge was made
by that brigade, aided by tho troops of
the First division on either flank. and
the enemy were driven out of the fort,
with the loss Of number Of prisoners,
estimated at about one thousand six
hundred. Two battle flags have also
been brought in.
The enemy also lost heavily in killed
outside Of our lines.
The whole lire was Immediately reoc.
cupied, and the guns retaken uninjured.
l regret to add that General McLaugh-
lin was captured in Fort Steadman.
Our loss, otherwise, was not heavy.
Great praise is due to Hartsuff for Che
gallantry displayed in handling his d.
vision, which behaved with great skill in
this, its first, engagement.
lSigned john G. PARKE,
Major General.

Gates the following supplementary dis.

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

FROM NORlh CAISCIAN
General Schofield reports to Gle neral
Grant, under date Of Goldsboro', March
81, the occupation Of that place with
but slight opposition. He states that
General Terry's column, from Will ming
ton, would probably reach Gold.sboro'
that night. The dispatch adds:
Shcrman's left was engaged with the
enemy near Bentonsville on Sunday
The artillery firing was quite rapid du-
ring the day, and for a short time on
Sherman's right, the Seventeenth
corps, was near Mount Olive on Sunday
night.
There has been some artillery firing to,
day, which indicates gradual approach
of Sherman's army toward this place: All
this being strictly in accordance with
Sherman's plans, l have no doubt all
is we'll.

intelligence from Sherman very soon,

ind the bridges buried, but other
wise the road is not snjureti, and the depot
facilities are very fine. ! captured here
seven cars, and General Terry has cap
tured two locomotives and two cars,
which he is now using.
The Northern papers publish dis
patch from Newbern, from which We
take the following:
A portion of General Sherman's forces
which moved from Fayetteville met the
enemy GA the 21st at Mount Olive, where
quite an engagement ensued. The enemy,
being overpowered and flanked, retreated
in confusion towards Raleigh, while
Sherman entered Smithfeld, half way
between Goldsboro' and Raleigh.
Generals Sherman, Schofeld and
Terry are in hourly communication with
each other, and are pressing the enemy
closely.
The prisoners taken admit that they
are unable TO successfully resist this
combination and that Raleigh must cor
tainly fall.
General Sherman's wagon trains have
arrived at Kinston.

A Remarkable Circumstance,

Last fall Mr.. Simmer, ofthis place,
bought a pair of two year old steers of
q man named Flynn, living on the
Shell Rock, about twelve miles from
here. The cattle were brought to this
city, and after remaining here a short
time were driven to Palo Alto County,
a distance of ITS miles, to be wintered.
The steers were kept at the latter
place until last spring when they we're
driven by way Of Fort Dodge across
the Missouri River into Nebraska a
distance of 2l0 miles, and there they
we're sold to freightcrs to go to Idaho.
About six weeks ago these same cattle
returned to Flynn's farm. where they
were raised. Their neck swere CALLED
from the yoke, and they were bruis-
cd and strained, showing that they
had been doing heavy work ; aud
the probability is that after being sold
to the freighters they travelled vest
ward until they gave out. perhaps two
hundred miles or more, and were then
turned loose. 1t is truly a remarkable
fact that these two steers, after an abb
n of nearly a year, should alone
and unattended. aided only by their
dumb instinct, find their way back to
the place Of their nativity, a journey
Of probaly not less than six hundred
miles. There can be no mistake abont
the identity of the cattle, for they bear
Mr.. SINNERS mark. and Mr.. Flynn
and others recognize them. Mr.. Slim
mer, in the absence Of the rightful
owner, has made arrangements to
have them comfortably wintered, think
ing hal cattle evincing 50 strong a
love for home, and such almost human
intelligence in discovering it, should
be properly and kindly cared force
dar Falls Gazette.
