INTERVIEW BETWEEN SHERMAN AND
GRANT.
The HeraldS Army of the Potomac
special says that Sherman, on Monday
evening, reported in persen to Grant at
City Point. The interview was cordial
and friendly in the extreme. A number
of Grants staff and corps commanders were
present at thereception of Sherman. Sher-
man, in reply to the congratulations pre-
sented to him, represented that his success
was assured from the commencement, and
that the enemy were unable to make any
serious opposition. He said his boys had
no trouble at all in chasing rebels.
Grant and Sherman, after brief consul
tstion in the headquarters tent, had an in
terview with the President. Sherman
gave Mr.. Lincoln graphic account of his
operations, and represented his army ca
psble of accomplishing the grandest re-
suits. -
A council of war was held during the
evening, at which the President and Cen
erals Grant, Sherman, Meade, Ord and
Sheridan were present. The session was a
prolonged one, and no doubt related to the
spring campaign now inaugurated. On
Tuesday morning Sherman took leave of
his companions in arms, and returned to
Goldsboro in special dispatch boat.

wood, and have evidently been in many
fight. The flags will be sent to Wash
ington.
CoNGRATULAToRY FROM SHERMAN.
General Sherman has issued the follow
ing oorgrstuist91JJ 0rdo- 20 hia asrny, dated
at Headquarters Military Division of Misis-
sippi. in the field, near Bentonville, N. c.,
March %, 1865:
The General commanding announces to
the army that yesterday it beat, on its own
ground, the concentrated army of our enc
my, who has fed in disorder, leaving
his dead, wounded and prisoners in our
hands, and burning his bridges on his re-
treat. On the same day Major General
Schofeld, from Newbern, entered and oc-
cupied Goldsboro, and Major General
Terry, from Wilmington, secured Cox's
bridge crossing, and laid pontoon bridge
across the Neuse river, so that our cam.
paign has resulted in glorious successes.
After march of most extraordinary
character, nearly five hundred miles, over
swamps and rivers deemed impossible, at
a most inclement season of the year, and
drawing our chief supplies from poor
and wasted country, we reached our desti-
nation in good and healthy condition.
[5igned,] W. I. SHERMAN,
Maj. General Commanding.
The HeraLds Goldsboro correspondent
says: During Sundays fight General Slo-
cum sent four messengers to Sherman that
the left wing had been pounced upon by
Johnston's entire army, and asking for as
sistsnce. General Sherman moved troops
rapidly forward, when General Slocum's
messengers managed to fud him. At
day break on the morning of the goth, Ha-
Lsn's division, of the 18th corps, Gesry's
division, of the 2Oth corps, and Bsird's
division, of the 14th corps, reported on the
field, having marched all night on the new
Goldsboro road.
General HoWsrds, with Logsn's and
Blair's corps, came up on the right by way
of Cox's bridge, and at noon of the 2Otb,
Sherman's army was in lire before Joe
Johnston's army, outnumberIng him two to
one. The enemy abandoned the line dur
ing the night of the 10th, and took up one
facing south, yet not exactly uncovering
the road to Goldsboro, over which the left
wing must travel Morgan moved up and
faced the new line. Hazen's division went
in on the right, and the connection was
complete.
During the afternoon of March 2oth,
Logans corps pressed up to the 'front.'
while Gen. Mowers Division of Blair
corps attacked and carried couple Of the
lines of the right. They penetrated to I
point where they could hear our wounded
cheer in the rebel hospitals, when they
were stopped by darkness, and the line
they could not carry on Monday night OF
Johnston's left.
Logan's corps went into BentonTille AM
brought off large number of on
wounded left by the enemy in his hasty re
