There is nc very important war news;

RRoWEYILLE, THURSDAY 80, 1865.
There is no very important war news;
no great battles have been fought since
u last issue yet the prospect for a
speedy termination of the rebellion is
growing brighter every day. Sherman
Is everyday drawing nearertO Richmond.
Sheridan has moved from Winchester
up the Shenandoah, destroyed Early's
army captured Charlottyille; annihilat-
Al ,he Richmond and L~ynchburg canal !:
passed over on TO the PeniHs~14 49, IL
men now forms the right wing Of Grants
army. Grant and Lee still lie watching
each other in their trenches around Pc
tersburg and Richmond. But all acquain-
ted with affairs there are looking con-
stantly for Lee to eyacuate. JEFF. Da-
Wis in his last message to the rebel Cen
gress says that their Capital is ROW in
greater danger than at any time during
she war. A large expedition has been
fitted out to attack Mobile, which will
fall in a few days, If indeed II has not
already been captured.
That the contest will terminate lrium-
phansly to tie cause of the Union is so
apparent to everybody ,bal the premium
on gold has fallen in one monlh from
I60 10 az. Even the secesh buHs of
Wall Street, N. Y, ST. Louis, and other
places, have all turned bears TO save them
selves from utter 6nancial rum
o AT latest dates Sherman was march
ing from Fayeilsville on Raleigh, The cap
-itsl Of North Carolina. His army was
divided into W columns. The Richmond
papers boast hat each wing of his army
was met and whipped T; enc by Harde,
the olhsr by johnson, about The 18th or
v20lh. Bess SO little confidence have the
New York gold gamblers in these ru-
qmors that The downward tendency Of sold
was nols Fetstdeda single hour.
1.-The truth is they lowered around Shsr-
mans advancing columns, and had = few
ekirmishes with bis outskirts, that result
ted in our favor as oftenG as theirs. and did
not re;srd the advance of Sherman et all.
Since The above was in type, later dis
= patches inform US that Sherman Terry,
and Sehofeld's forces have formed a
junction near GoldsbOrOush, n. C.. Com
munieations are kept open with both Will
nington and Newbern. The Railroad
from Newbern by way Of GoldsborOugh,
10 Raleigh, will be repaired, and kept
g dopensto send supplies to Sherman. The
r. speedy eapsure of Raleigh by the FEEDER
y as, now the different armies have form
ed a junction, is virtually admitted by The
g N. C. papers. On the oath, Sherman
vas at Smilhfeld, half way between
O.. G lGsborough and Raleigh HE was
e fighting with johnson every day.
ime Near Petersburg the rebels attacked
Grants lines at daylight on the 25lh.-
Their movements were so sudden that
thsyoeaptured Fl Steadman. aUking all
its garrison prisoners, including Gener7
al Mclaughlin. The rebels fought des,
perately, striving 10 pierce Grants lines
and hold the fort. But reinforcenents
coming up rapidly, The rebel advance
was first checked, and a few minutes az
forwards they were driven back clear to
their v lines; losing terribly in killed
wounded. and prisoners. We recaplur-
ed all our guns al II. Sleadmon. Our
loss in killed was unknown, but was but
slight. Gen Grant thinks the total loss
will be less than S0o5 while the rebels
losl in killed and wounded about l,500,
and $500 prisoners. .ab c n.dzB
Re We understand that astdTspatch went
over the wire late last night, stating that
Grant had another brush with The rebels
and had again captured a large number
