FORTRESS MONROE, April 3, via BALTI-
MORE, April 4.-The mail steamer Dictator
arrived from City Point at o'clock this
evening, and brings additional particulars
of the great struggle.
Petersburg was occupied by our own
troops at 3 o'clock Monday morning. Our
gunboats were all well up the James river
and it was thought that fight had taken
place with the rebel ironclads. Large fires
were seen up James riverlast night towards
Fort Darling, and in the vicinity of other
rebel works, from which it was inferred Lee
was abandoning his works and retreating
from his long established lines. An i'm
mense number of prisoners have been cap
tured, variously estimated at $4,000 to $4,000.
Prisoners are continually arriving at City
Point and it was estimated there were
$1,000 there this morning. When the Die
tator left salute was being fired by all war
vessels at the Point.
The steamer Comstock arrived here to-
day with large number of Union prison.
ers, including Gen. Mclaughlin and men
of his brigade, captured with him by the
rebels in the assault on Fort SUeadman.
Such was the haste of the rebels in hurry
ing the Union prisoners through Richmond
on Sunday that in many cases many were
not even patrolled. The returned prison.
ers say that in coming through Richmond
on Sunday, they saw manifest indications
of the evacuation of the city. The streets
were alive with people of all classes and
ages, manifesting intense excitement. All
the Union prisoners in Libby prison were
ordered to be exchanged by the rebel au-
thorities and were hurried through the city
of Richmond towards the Varina landing
in all possible haste.

The supply trains ON the Wilmington and
Weldon railroad are now running from
Wilmington to Goldsboro, loaded with sup
plies for Sherman's army. Trains are also
running night and day over the road from
this point to Goldsboro; and steamers are
running up the Neuse river to Knston, Tor
the same purpose. 1t will not take long to
supply the wants of Shermans men, who
are anxious to push forward.
The Treasury Agency at the place, from
the commencement of business July 1st,
1864, to January 1st. 1866, has realized over
100000 from abandoned plantations, COM
mercial intercourse, and sales of captured
property. Nearly $250,000 have been paid
by lessees and employers for agricul-
tural labor, food and clothing, which have
been furnished for some 5000 colored peo-
pleemployed on the abandoned plantations,
leased by the Agent. After the payment
of all the expenses which are less than ten
per cent. Of various draft drawn on the
Agency by the Treasury Department at
Washington, there was in New York a
balance in January of nearly $25,000.

The enemy in quite large numbers desert
and come into our lines daily. People from
the interior also come in to take the oath of
allegiance, faster than they can be accommo-
dated.
The citizens of Goldsboro gave our troops
warm welcome. The same feeling exists
throughout the state. On raising the flag
over the Lower Hall in Goldboro the citizens
endeavored to out do the soldiers in their
enthusiasm.
Great distress 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 200 poun-
ders, and is plated inch wrought iron on
2 feet of solid oak, is expected to be ready
to move down the river on Plymouth and

Wade Hampton's cavalry are threatening
raid on our supplies between Kinston and

able affair. The necessary arrangements
have been made for their reception, which

Quartermaster General Meigs and Gen.
Easton, chief Quartermaster Of Sherman's
army, this morning went up to the army.
General Sherman's men have become so
elated and fearless over theirmany victories
that each man is an army in himself. Three
of them went out toraging the other day,
some thirty miles into the enemy's country,
and formed in line of battle four times
repulsing a detachment Of thirty mounted
rebels on each occasion. Small squads of
his men go all around The enemy and keep
up great alarm in their camp night and
day.
The cars run through tlaily from here to
Goldsboro. Our joint armies are all in good
cheer and very happy.

The Battle AT Five ForIxs.

NEw YORK, April 4.-The World has a
| graphic account of Sheridan's battle of
| Five Forks, which was the turning point in
the great conflict, and which, under Sheri-
dams generalship, will take rank with any
thing on record. Itappears that Grant was
not satisfied with the days business on Fri
day, and placed Sheridan in supreme COM
mand Of the whole of Warren's corps and
all the cavalry. Sheridan at once maneuver-
ed with his cavalry, dismounting a portion
in front of the rebels and gradually pressed
them back into their works, under the most
desperate and terrible lighting of the war.
While this was being done, and done slow
ly by order, Sheridan set about forming the
infantry, showing the same genius in in
fantry tactics that he has in cavalry. 1t
was marvel to see so paltry force of
cavalry press back and hold in check 10000
rebel infantry, still they did it, and in such
manner as 10 completely hide the move
ment of our infantry. They were driven
back, step by step, into their works; then
the signal was given and the infantry closed
on the works like huge barn door. The
rebels saw their situation but did not
appear to appreciate how desperate were
their circumstances. They fell back to the
left only to see four close lines of battle
waiting to drive them across the field. AT
the right horsemen charged them in their
vain attempt to fight out, and in their rear,
foot and cavalry began to assemble. Slant
fire, cross-fre and direct-fre, by file and
battery, rolled perpetually, cutting down
their bravest officers and strewing the field
with bleeding men. Thereupon artillery
was turned upon them. At last bodies of
cavalry mounted their rpaTapet and charged
down upon them slashing and tramping
them into confusion. They had no COM
mander to lead them out of the toll into
which they had fallen. A few more volleys,
new charge, the command to die or sur
render, and 5000 muskets were thrown
upon the ground, and 5000 men are Sheri-
dams prisoners. ,....
Those who escaped were pursued by the
fiery Custar, and they were pressed far into
the desolate forest.

Expected Movement Against !,
Augusta.

New YORK, March 4-The Commercial
says it is reasonable to suppose that we may
hear soon of a movement against Augusta
up the Savannah river. Immediately after
Sherman's departure a line of couriers was
established between Augusta and Columbia,
and by this means communication was re-
established between Richmond and the
western portion of the Confederacy. The
enemy also doubtless opened communica-
tion directly across the country. The occu-
patton of Augusta is necessary to complete
the isolation of Western Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi.

tobacco warehouses. The reception of the

expectation, proving that there were large
number of Unionists in the city. Many
Union flags were displayed.
Yesterday was the anniversary of Grants

Sheridan is upon his flanks. A messenger

mand.

New YORK, April 4.-The Herald cores
pondent says Gen. Warren was relieved of
his command of the 9TH corps on Saturday,
by order Of General Sheridan. The cause
was generally understood to be tardiness,
or refusal to obey orders by charging rebel
lines. General Warren and staff passed to
the rear, stopping but few moments at
Grants headquarters. r.. |rT
