Plenty of news this merning, and ali Of
It ofthe very best. Kinsson has been form
ally surrendered to our forces by the May
or, and occupied by schoaelds advance
Our troops are in the highest spirits, and
eager to meet the enemy. Seven hundred
rebel dead and wounded were left
upon the field st Southwest Greek.
That Sherman reached Fayetteville in
safety, after leisurely and unoppOsed
march through South Carolina, in which
he lived almost entirely off the reOel terri
tory, is. .indubitsble, but about the other ru-
mors from that gallant General we are in
doubt. One of these asserts that he has
already reached Goldsboro, and has attack
ed it in the resr, driving back the rebels
who were retreating on that place toward
Kinston again. This rumor, and the 9TH
ers about his movements which come this
morning, are probably premature. he has
not probably moved from Fayetteville as
yet though be doubtless will soon do so.

FROM NEWBERN.

NEWBERE, N. O., March 13.
e icers just from the front state that an
order was read to the troops on Saturday
evening last, from Msj. Gen Cox, COM
msnding, stating that they would be joined
by Shermsn's army in tGree days, which
created the greatest enthusiasm.
A rebel surgeon came in this morning
and took the oath of allegiance. He says
that Sherman's cavalry was in Troy, N. O.,
few days since, and that one wing of his
army was moving on Fayetteville, one on
Goldsboro, and another on Raleigh.
Yesterday afternoon the Mayor of Kins-
ton surrendered the city 10 our forces.
PontOons were sent up this morning for
that purpose.
The enemy retrested rapidly from Eins-
ton to Goldsboro.
y A report this morning states that Sher-
man is in possession of Goldsboro, and that
the enemy are rushing back to Kinston 10
prevent our forces from crossing the
Neuse river at that point. This is not
official however.
The enemy left 700 of their dead on the
field before crossing the river, which We
buried also many wounded, which fell
l1lO our QhQQB.
The gunboat Shamrock has gone up the
Neuse to Kinston.
The river is very high.
E. P. Gardner, q Government detective,
has just arrived from the front, and states
that he saw q bearer of dispatches from
General Sherman, who told him that Cen
eral Sherman was at Goldsboro at two
o'clock Friday afternoon. The enemy
made charge on our works, which was
repulsed, and we captured the 46th North
Carolina rebel regiment. .
No fighting of any account occurred yes
terdsy or to-day.
There has been no rain since Thursday
last The weather is wsrm and pleasant
and roads good.
General Schofeld left for the front this
morning He received communication
yesterday from General Sherman, ria Will
mington. Sherman says he is all right.
Negroes are being pressed into work on
the railroad.

Sherman, has Just arrived here with his
staff, for the purpose of joining General
Sherman. A member of his staff says

Sherman in few days.

The following was sent to Governor
Fenton on learning from him that he had
issued circular shout delaying the draft:
PROVOST MARSHAL GENERALS BUREAU, !
WAsHIEGTOE, March l5, 1866. !
To His ErseLyeney, Coz. R. E. Fentoa
Your telegram of yesterday Is just re-
ceiyed. I have not seen your circular
about the draft, and do not understand
your dispatch. No delay, that 1 know of,
has been authorized, nor is it likely that
any will be permitted on any other condi-
tions than those heretofore stated, and re-
peated, to wit: that if the boards are lully
occupied in the examination of rolls, the
delay should continue only SO long as they
are fully occupied in that way.

the Suspension Of Treasury -


Permits. q t5lbD
The order from General Grant suspend
ing all Treasury trade permits in certain
portions of Virginia, the Oarolinas, and
Georgia, an abstract Of which is given in
this mornings telegraph, is another step in
the direction indicated in Secretary
Stewards circular Issued On Wednesday.
It means that the most prompt and deci-
sive measures are to be taken 10 put stop
to the immense contrsband trade now going
on between the South and certain parties
in the North. Now that every port in
the whole @Confederscy is either fully
blOcksded or in our hands, the urgent ne
cessity ofsuppies essential to the very life
Of the rebellion has greatly stimulated 8
contraband trade with the North, which
had already been carried on briskly. In
this way Northern men have been giving
aid and comfort TO the rebellion more ef-
fctuAlly than if they were lighting in the
ranks of Lees army-for they furnish
It with materials without which It
must fall. These double traitors
deserve hanging much more than the
veriest hre-eater in the South. The re-
cent expose of the Sir rgleton tobacco busi-
ness which illustrates perfectly the chArac-
ter Of these transactions called the attsn-
ton Of the Government to the matter,
and, not content with squelching that affair,
they have taken decisive steps to eradicate
the whole system. General Grant is per-
fectly justihAble in issuing his order, or in
laklng any other necessary step to crush
put thess nefsrious transactions.

FROM THE POTOMAC AEMf.
WASHINGTON, March I6.

Information from the Army of the Po-
tomsc says the Fifth Corps was reviewed
on Tuesday by General Warren. This
corps is one of the largest in the army, and
in regard to discipline stands second to
none.
The utmost diligence is exercised by the
commanding officers in preparing for the
spring campaign.
Passengers direct from City Point say
that there was not even ru11or at that
place of peace commissioners from Rich
mond, as was industriously circulated else
where yesterday.
The Vance who arrived there was Brig
adler General Vance, q brother of Cover
nor Vance, Of North Carolina, to be ex-
changed, and not Governor Vance him
self as peace commissioner, with two imag-
mary colleagues.
General Longstreet has placed restric-
tions on the exchange of newspapers, per-
mitting only date for date; but some of
the rebel editors say they will endesYOr to
have the order modified.
Many of the sick Of our army have been
removed to City Point.

The Fau of Charleston in Europe.

The FRU OF Charleston in Europe.
Unquestionably, the fall of Charleston
would have q much greater effect in Eng
land than in this country. The import
ance Of the city itself, the fact that it was
the starting point of secession and the war,
and the period of time for which it has
been besieged, have been noted by English
observers and have had their full weight In
the English estimate of the advantage and
prestige gained by its capture. So we
find that the English press agree IN re-
gsrding it ss the most significant event of
the wsr, and in deducing from it prophecies
Of the speedy downfall of the rebellion.
Even the Times, never friendly to the
North, says that the influence of the cap.
ture of Charleston "csnnot be exaggera-
ted" The news has had its effect on the
markets, and will not fail to produce q
change both in the popular feeling and in
the attitude of the English government.
Our transatlantic cousins are ever ready
10 worship the rising sun.

Draft matters I'm New York state.

The New Yorkers, both Provost Marsh
ais and people, are in 8 raj mudd Q over the
draft. Governor Fenton got the impress
sion, a day or two since, from some of Gen-
eneral Fry's orders that the draft in New
York State would be postponed indefinite
ly if recruiting continued brick, and issued
q circular to that effect which has just had
time to appear in all the daily papers Ct
the state. But, nevertheless, drafting
commenced in New York city and various
other parts of the state, on Wednesday
hst, to the great bewilderment of the pc. i.
pie. And yesterday General Fry iele-
grsphed to Governor Fenton that his an
nouncsment was a mistake and that the
draft would not be postponed. So the
wheel revolves in New York.

NEW York, March 16.
The Times Washington special says:
The statement that Senator Harlan had
not yet decided to accept the Interior De-
psrtment was premature. The President
had his assent before he sent his name to
the Senate.
The Commercials special says: The
opinion prevails in well informed financial
circles that the Assistant Treasurer of New
York has been authorized by Secretary
McCallogh to anticipate the payment Of
May coupons of 5-2O's at his discretion,

IDDIrIONAL From SHERMAN.

NEW YORK, March Is.
The army is in most excellent health and
condition. They have lived quite as sumpt-
uously as on the Georgia march. At first
one-quarter rations of meat and other pro-
visions we're served, but the abundance
found in the country coon rendered this
unnecessary, and now only coffee and sugar
are Issued; everything else is furnished by
forsging parties.
Communication was sent to Sherman on
the llth, by courier, escorted by regi-
ment of csvAl:y. This was rendered neces-
sary by the strong parties of rebel scouts
and guerrillss on the approaches to Will
mington.s Sherman's couriers narrowly es-
caped, and were driven to make q detour
of forty miles. They represent the people
dwelling along the route IS strongly favor
ing the Union, and anxious for the appear
ance of the National army.

We are having tremendous freshet in
the French Greek Valley. The water is
higher than it has been for ten years. All
the lower part Of the city is submerged,
and many families have been and are being
removed in boats from their houses.
All trains east from this point are aban-
doned until the water abates. A part of
the Franklin track is under water.
The MeHenry House is surrounded, and
the cellars are full to within two feet of
the ground floor.
It is hoped that the water has reached
its highest. A great deal of property will
be destroyed
The weather is growing colder, and for
tunstely the rain has turned to snow.
There is as yet no current to the body of

GenoraI sebolieId,s Gov Gun.r

Soon after our forces occupied Whining
ton, stslwart, intelligent negro called at
General Schoheld's headquarters and asked
to see the General. He was shown into
the room, when his mission was made
known. He had gathered together hun
dreds of stout men and marched them from
the interior, by night, through the thick
ats, sWsmps and forests. Not knowing
whether our forces were yet in Whining
ton, he left the men behind and secuted
through himself, promising them that if the
TUnion men were in Wilmington, he would
ask the General to fire joy gun, when
they were all to come In and Join him"
GAnd now, Genera" the negro said, 81 find
you good Union folks al here, and it
makes my heart jump for joy; and won't
you have the big gun fred F.? Oh, master,
it will make my poor old mother cry when
she hears that joy gun, and all the men
will be glad, and Join your army" Cen
eraI Schofeld promised him that his 'joy
gun" should be fired, and the man went
out, waiting to hear its echo through the
pine forests and hills. The General order
ed one of the heaviest pieces Of artillery
in the fort to be frhd.
That 'joy gun" was fred; its echo is still
ringing through these forests, and over
those sandy plains. 1t was joyful sound
to those hunted fugitives, secreted in the
swsmps about the city. It called them
from their hiding places, and in hundreds
they came, and with strong arms, and what
is better still, with Joyful hearts = hearts
willing and anxious to do what little they
could for the power that had broken of
their chsins, and freed them from the
shackles Of their tssk-masters. They sre
enrolling their names to-dsy, on the re-
cruiting lists of this great army of freemen,
and clad in blue, sne with Yankee muskets,

That gun, that was q joyful messenger
to them, was he3red by hundreds of others,
fleeing from the advancing armies Of the
Union. 1t did not call them in, however.
It quickened their speed and carried them
farther away from the power they dared
not meet Their arms were full IS strong
and able to do duty for the old flag, but
their hearts were bitter in their hatred Of
that flag. In this they differed. One was
black, the other was white. One was loyal
the other disloysl. The joy gun rallied
one class about TIE flag, while it drove the
other from it. Other joy guns are being

THE NEW z.so LOAs.

PHILADELPHIA, March 10.
Jay Cooke reports the subscriptions to
the 7l3O Loan to-day, at 81, 4,O32, 500, includ-
Jog $500, ,000lfom New York, and $202, ,250
from Chicago. Also 282 Individual sub
scriptions of 500 and 100.
The Secretary of the Treasury arranged
yesterday in Washington, with jay Cooke,
that most important financial measure,
the issue of the $60O,OOO,OOO loan. The
first issue will be of s90O,OO0,0OO on the
10th day of June next. The rates in form,
denominations and interest will be in
all respects like the present issue of 7-3Os.
They will be unlike them only in the
period of time fixed for their converta-
bility. They will have ten months longer
to run than the Z 3Os before they can be
changed into gold bearing 5-20s. By q
large class of investors this difference will
be considered to impart greater value to
the new issue. The balance of the $780,
100000 will probably be year longer 10
maturing than the June issue. This time
will be definitely fixed as the sales of the
June issue approach their end. It may
be that the first three hundred millions
will meet the necessities of the govern
ment. It is expected that this first issue
will be disposed of in about three months.
The agency for the present seven-thirties,
with all its machinery will be employed
for the whole of the new loan.

PIelhora of FsennIes.

The "penny" absurdity gives signs Of
exploding. For months, if not for years
halt the small dealers have been boarding
pennies, under the foolish idea that they
were more valuable on account of being
coin, and that like gold and silver, they,
too, ought to command premium. The
fact that they we're intrinsicslly worth
much less than their face value could never
be beaten into the heads of these ignorant.
people; and the mint was kept busy turn
ing out pennies at four times the natural
rate of supply. The issue of the three cent
fractional currency notes, however, has SO
completely broken down the demand for
pennies for change that the hoarders begin
TO pour them out. During the last days of
the session of Congress committee repre-
sentiug the leading Northern street railway
companies was here, asking for protection
against this food of pennies. But moth ng
was done; but before long law making

NEW YORK, March IS.
The Boston Advertissr'S special says of
General Grants order suspending all trade

down at one swoop the whole brood of
cotton, tobacco, tar, and turpsntine spscu-

special agents, cabinet ministers, and even
Of the President himself Official records
