Rumors About Michmond.

New YORK, March 23-One of the Tri-
bune's correspondents AYERS, upon what he
deems to be the best authority, that Rich
mond is now being evacuated as fast as pos
sible, and that in few days it will be occu-
pied by Union troops, without battle. 4
The Tribune's Washington special says it
is believed by military men there that the
stand at Danville, if they fight at all south
of Richmond. a fs (
The Worlds special says Grant some time
since told Hon. S. S. Cox that he believed
Lee desired to evacuate Richmond, but he
did not think it could be done. 1t is very
doubtful whether Lee could SO much as be-
gin amovelnent without Grants knowledge,
and once known, our armies would imme-
diately move. ei.{ f}ags3s aisls eii

Address of the Rebel Congress TO
..+hs the Southern People.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The rebel Con-.
gress, before taking its recent hasty leave of
Richmond, and after refusing to adopt any
of the measures urged by Davis as requisite
to save the rebel cause, issued an address tol
the Southern people. 1t begins by saying 3
They, cannot have peace except by the sac
rifice of independence and property; that
confiscation and determination are the only
terms they can get. 1t refers to what it re-
CARDS as evidence of reunion, and makes an
appeal to Southern manhood. 1t gives a
colored view of the resources of the South,
and calls upon the people to drive into the
ranks again absentees and skulkers. Itcon-'
graduates the country upon the appoint.
ment of Lee as General-in-C Chief, and apollo
gizes for the heavy burden Of taxation they
have been obliged to impose. They believe
the people of the United States have become
tired of the war, and say they can at any
time have peace by abandoning the wicked
attempt at subjugation. They recite again
their grievances under the old Government,
and call upon the people to emulate the ex-
ample of the Russians when Napoleon in
vaded their territory. They wind up with
a stirring appeal, saying success is within
their reach; that the battle is not to the
strong, and that the shades of their martyr
ed heroes hover and beckon them on.

The Dry Goods Trade in New York

New YORK, March 23.-The Posts trade
report says; In dry goods considerably
lower prices are ruling. Domestics are de-
pressed. AT the auction sale by Wilmerd-
ing & Mount yesterday, Arnold prints
brought 161a, Atlantic mourning prints
1S1s, Swift river brown goods 81, which is
6 cents per yard less than yesterdays price;
Androscoggin A, bleached 20. Owners
would not duplicate goods at these low
prices. To-day choice American delaines,
which were held recently at 3S, sold large
ly at 2319. Flannels and wooden goods are
greatly depressed. Foreign goods and fan
cies are held firmly, while choice articles
are scarce, and with reasonable demand
prices must advance. This morning prices
are slightly lower, except in bleached
goods, which are firmer.

War: t sAs7
Gen. j. e. Johnston reports that about 5
O'Clock p. NJ, on the 19th,jh attacked the
enemy near Bentonville, routed him and
captured three guns. A mile in the rear he
rallied on fresh troops. but was forced back
slowly until G o'clock p. NJ, when, receiv-
ing more troops, he apparently assumed
the offensive, which was resisted without
difficulty until dark. 4Fhis morning he is
entrenched. Our loss is small. The troops
behaved admirably well. Dense thickets
prevented active operations. --.ta
On the 1lth Stanton had announced
that Sherman was doing finely. His
army was at Fayetteville quietly
resting preparatory to another advance
northward. 1t seems he did advance,
but not far. This successful attack by
General Johnston gives earnest hope that
the redoubtable Sherman has at length met
his match.

Sler mans HOvements-The Rebel
Ram Neuge

New YORK, March 23.-The Herald's
Washington special says an officer from
Fayetteville reports the column which Ra-
leigh papers mention as moving toward
Hillsboro, is Sherman's left wing, moving
toward North Carolina railroad, to de-
stroy the bridge over Neuse river, between
Raleigh and Goldsboro. Thousands of ref
ugees are on the way to Wilmington. The
wharves of all landings between Fayette-
vile and Wilmington are filled with rosin,
turpentine, cotton, &c. The value of prop
erty captured will amount to millions.
The Herald's Kinston correspondent says
the ram Neuse, destroyed by the rebels, had
crew, exclusive of officers, of 80 men, who
surrendered. On the ram were 81 hermeti-
cally sealed cans of powder of 200 lbs each,
and 2sixty-eight FOUNDER rifled guns.
The rebels, before sleaving Kinston,
placed torpedoes all about the place, some
of which have done execution on our troops.

from NIr. Hunter.

New YORK, March 23,-Richmond papers
of the goth contain a long reply made by a
select committee to the accusation of Mr..
Davis, in which they charge that it was he
who was guilty of tardiness, inefflciency,
and want of decision.
They say that with very few exceptions
every law that he suggested was speedily
enacted, and all that he asked was readily
granted; that on matters which he charges
them the information requested and what
was necessary to enable them to act intelli-
gently.
Mr.. Hunter publisheda a card to let the
people know he was still opposed to re-
construction Of the Union.

New York, March 23.-The steamer
Varuna, from Beaufort, North Carolina, the
20th has arrived here. She brings impor-
tant intelligence. The news of the capture
of Goldsboro was received in the city soon
after the victory, by dispatches from Gen.
Sherman, and who, it was reported, called
for reinforcements for his army during
their further march northward. Immense
numbers of troops were promptly sent in
response, from Beaufort by rail and other
roads, to Goldsboro, preparatory to meeting
the main army Fisherman. Itwas believed
that a battle was imminent, and hence
General Sherman's army was swelled to an
overwhelming force, the extent of which
may lead to a general retreat or surrender
of the enemy. Reinforcements and sup
plies had also been sent from Newbern to
join Sherman's army.
Refugees at Beaufort and Moorehead
City declare that the rebel troops are de-
moralized, and that their supplies are be-
ginning to fail. 1t was also reported that
part Of Lees army had gone to reinforce
General Johnston, and that his main force
was about five miles north of Raleigh.

American ManuRacturers-Th Amer

American ManufacturerS-The Amer
N =. ican Watch COmpanys r
Our readers, we are sure, are not gener-
ally aware of the great impetus that has
been given to manufactures. since the be-
ginning Of the war. The high rates of ex-
change, and the necessities of the army,
have made the Eastern hills and valleys re-
sound with the hum of busy machinery, and
nowhere has machinery done more or Gre
ated a greater revolution in production and
tradethan in the manufactured the watch
What was once the toilsome, slow and un-
certain result of hand labor only, is now the
swift demonstration Of iinvarying mechan-
ical forces. The same class of genius that
invented the telegraph and the sewing ma
chine invented the delicate and wonderful
mechanism that takes hold of the raw ma
terial-the brass and steel, and gold, and
precious stones, and under competent di-
rection turns out that daily wonder and ne
lcessity--a perfect time-keeper. That genius
is essentially american, and has been found,
collected, assimilated and made productive
by the American Watch Co., at Waltham,
Mass. Taking the best fruits of several
years experiments, they esta ablished their
factory nearly ten years ago, which they
have been compelled to enlarge from year
to year until they now employ seven hun
dred workmen, and turn out product val
ued at a million and and half dollars per
annum-or equal to that of all other watch
es now sold in this country. The secret of
this Company's success is that they have
done what they promised-that they have
furnished a first-rate substantial, watch at
a moderate price-and this Is the great dit
ference between their watches and the or
dinary importations from Europe. Except
certain very high-priced varieties, the Eu-
ropean watch is the result of cheap and un-
skilled hand labor, that never goes well, and
in short time ''cost more than it comes to'
in repairs. The American Watch Co. give
guarantee for the quality Of all their pro-
ducts, that is good with any dealer who
sells them Erchdnge. ''8w mar24-1d&w

in western North Carolina, under the lead

officers, and to inflict such injury on the
rebel cause as will best contribute to a
speedy termination of the war and enable
their return home.

A STRINGENT SCHOOL LAw.-As will be
seen by our Legislative report of yesterdays
proceedings, the General Assembly has just
passed an act amendatory of the common
school law, the principal feature of which
is, that 1t requires Boards of Education to
make the necessary provisions for keeping
up the district schools for at least six months,
or twenty-four weeks in each year, and
