the enemy halted in and about the camp
fo- amoment, TO plunder. This l0as fatal
70 hi9t.@ Little Kills brave cavslrymen raj
lied under the leadership of their tried COM
mander, retook the hills upon the left, and
then, with one Wild shout, swept down upon
the rebels, who were swarming about the
captured artillery and Kilpstrick's former
headquarters. In moment the artillery
was in their possession and turned upon
the enemy. At this moment the Generals
red battle flag, recaptured from the enemy,
hoated out in the presence of friend and
foe. At this sight the men were perfectly
wild with excitement, and when the Gen
eral rode along the lines and shouted to
the men that the day was theirs, the men
could not be restrained, but dashed forward,
drove the enemy from every quarter, and
eventually from the field. Our loss does
not exceed one hundred killed and wound
ed. The enemy left upon the field large
number of officers and seVenty.six soldiers
dead, besides many wounded, and at the
lowest estimate could not have lost less
than six hundred killed and wounded. The
whole affair was indeed most brilliant, and
reflects great credit upon the cavalry, and
adds yet another laurel to the many won
by them since leaving the hills of Georgia.
Opening communication.
On the announcement in Wilmington of
the arrival of Sherman st Fayetteville,
General Terry at once despatched sstesmer
up the river to open communication. The
delicate duty of penetrating, in an unsrmed
boat, one hundred and twenty miles into
the enemy country, was committed by the
Chief Qaartermaster, Brigsdier Gensrsl
Dodge, to Captain Andrew Ainsworth,
captain Of the port. Captain AinswOrth
started on Saturday afternoon, at two
o'clock in the steam tug Davidson. After
proceeding some distance up the river, the
tug came TO the bank and took on uuanti-
ty of cotton bales, which afforded a safe
| bulkhead against mnsket balls. The vessel
proceeded along, however, without difficult
ty, until within twelve miles of Fayette-
vile, when q body of rebel cSVslrymen sp-
pesred on the banks Of the narrow streem
and opened on them with musketry. The
vessel, however, kept on her way uninjured
| by the fire, and reached Fayetteville seon
after daylight on Sunday morning.
General Sherman had arrived a few
hours previously, and had established his
headquarters at the arsenal. Captain Aims
worth delivered his despatches and, re-
ceiVing others in return, started back in
the edge Of the evening. In descending
the river the gunbost Eolus was met going
up, about twenty miles below Fayetteville.
This afternoon General Dodge came up
to have conference with General Sher-
man in regard to the vast crowd ofrefugees,
negroes, deserters and prisoners that encum-
Der the train of the army. 1t is under
stood that these are to be at once trans
ferEed to the care of Major General Terry,
at Wilmington, to be by him disposed OF as
circumstances may dictate 1 am also in
formed that General Sherman will halt at
Fayetteville only long enough to relieve
himself of these encumbraLees.

nouncss that Grant has received advices
from Sherman stating that he had occupied
Goldsboro snd formed 8 junction with
Schoaeld. The combined armies were
pushing on up the Weldon road toward
Weldon and Richmond. This is soufal
confirmed by rebel hints and admissions
that it may be considered as perfectly re
liable. So rapid an advance of our srmiei
will necessitate hard fighting by the rebeli
and will precipitsse the crisis which in any
event could not be far distant. No one
can doubt the issue.
