An army letter from Goldsboro, March
5lst says
There has been some considerable excite
meut in camp over a rum0r that Gen. Grant
has had a severe fight with Lee at Richmond
defeating him with laSs Of some twenty
thousand killed and wounded and fifteen
thousand prisoners. It is impossible to
trace the origin ct this story. which is,
doubtless, like many other camp stories, the
work Of some imaginative wag.
The waggery was noJ much out OF the way.
The total rebel loss in the fighting around
Petersburgh Is not accurately known but
the loss to Lees army since it begun Is even
more than above stated.
