FROM NRMBERH.

NEWBERH, March q.
It is reported here that General Sher-
man took North a proposition from the
rebels to unite with the South in q foreign
war provided q general pardon is granted
to all insurgents, together with the return
of property, the South accepting the Con-
stitution as amended, abolishing slavery.
Thousands of Shermsn's sick have re-
covered and joined the army, as also de-
tschments of new recruits.
The enemy are quiet. Large numbers
of deserters come into our lines daily. The
people from the interior also come in to
take the oath Of allegiance faster than they
can be accommodated.
The citizens of Goldeboro gave our
troops a warm welcome. The came feel
ing exists throughout the state. On rais-
ing the flag ever the lower hall in Colds
boro, tue citizsns endesvored to outdo the
soldiers in their enthusiasm. Great dis
tress prevails in Wilmington, owing to the
large influx of refugees.
Captain Newton from Plymouth states
that the new rebel ram at Halifax on the
Roanoke river, which mounts six zoo
Founders, and is plated with inch wrought
iron on two feet Of solid oak, is sexpected to
be ready TO move down the river on Ply
mouth and into the sounds on the l6th of
April, also that nearly all the rebel navy
officers in the confederscy numbering over
two hundred, were at Halifax, which is
their rendezvous for this section,
Wade Hsmpton's cavalry are threaten
ing raid on our supplies between Kinston
and GoldstOrO, which promises to be for
midsble affair. Necessary steps have been
made for their reception, which will result
in Wade's defeat, if not annihilation.
Qusrtermaster General Meigs and Gen.
mans army, this morning went up to the
army. Gen. Sherman's men have become
SO elsted and fearless over their many vic
tories that each MAJ is an army in him
self. Three of them went out forsging the
other day some thirty miles into the enc
mys country, and formed in line of battle
four times, repulsing 8 detachment of 80
mounted rebels on each occasion. Small
squads of his man go all around the enemy
and keep up great alarm in their camps
day and night. The cars run through daily
from here t. Goldsboro. Our joint armies
are all in good cheer and very happy.
NEwBERN, April 1t was the l4th
corps that was first engaged in the battle
of Bentonville on Monday, instead of the
goth corps, as at first reported.
Company L, of the lst North Carolina
mounted rangers, commanded by Captain
Graham and Lieutenant Edwards, which
has captured 1000 rebels within the past
few months, has gone out on a scout, and
will doubtless bring in the remainder of
Bragg's army.
Supply trains on the Wilmington &
Weldon Railroad are now running
regularly from Wilmington to Goldsboro,
loaded with supplies for Shermsn's army.
Trains are also running night and day
over the rosd, from this point to Colds
boro, and steamers are running up the
Neuse river to Kinston for the same pur-
pose. It will not take long to supply
the wants of ShermsE's men, who are
anxious to push forward.

licus, and by commercial intercourse and
