New York. March 24.-The Herald,
New Orleans letter says Gen. Lew Wal
lace has left New Orleans on special
mission to Matamoras, for the purpose of

Movements of Sherman's Army.
The Tri6uns's special dispatch says the
news of the occupation of Goldsboro has
been confirmed by statements Of trust
worthy party, who has just arrived direct
from Newbem. Sherman's forces were
disposed to march toward Mechabet's
Station, on the railroad to Raleigh, to de-
stroy an important bridge across the
Neuse. The center had arrived at Colds
boro. The right, on the 2lst, formed a
junction with Scho6eld's force, at a point
eleven miles east of Goldsboro.
The victory claimed by the rebels at
Bentonville, assuming the official state
ment to be correct, amounts to nothing
but a momentary check Of Sherman's left.
The next news from that quarter will
doubtless be of the entire accomplishment
of the plans of Sherman. ...
That "Rebel Victory"
The Worlds special dispatch says the
fight alluded to in the Richmond papers
of Tuesday as having occurred between
portion of Sherman's force and Johnson's
army, is understood in military circles to
have been merely fight with detach-
ment sent BY Slocum to burn railroad
bridge across the river near Smith6eld.
The Rerald's special dispatch says the
report Of Johnson to Lee that he had met
the enemy near Bentonyille and routed
them, is regarded as referring to cavalry
aankers of the extreme left of Sherman's
army, who were surprised.
Sherman may have sent small force in
that direction for the purpose of cutting
the connection between Goldsboro and
Raleigh. thus drawing Johnson away from
Goldsboro while it was being occupied by
the main body of Sherman's army.
Information has been received that the
occupation Of Goldsboro was effected on
the day of the reported battle of Benton
vile.
Johnson's dispatch states that the Union
troops subsequently, assumed the often
sive, thus admitting that his success was
only temporary and unimportant.
