Special Report.



NEW YORK, March q.
Railroad speculation opened steady at
the Stock Exchange. As the call progress
ed the market grew weak. The second
board was generally dull on the railway
list and lower prices were made in most In
stances. Good demand for Government
stocks, Gold bonds at full prices, but the
offerings were limited, The public here
and elsewhere have absorbed large
amount of these securities during the past
few days. Nothing special to notice in
bank shares. State bonds and railway
mortgages, coal and miscellaneous shares,
are all frmer, with an upward tendency In
Cumberland and Quicksilver.
There has been nothing important in the
Gold speculation to- day. The street has
been quite free from rumors, and the mar
ket was very steady.
There was moderate inquiry for money,
with an abundant supply.
The large advance in whisky to-day is
due to the fact that two more Illicit distil-
leries have been closed, one in this city
and the other in Cincinnati. We omit
names ss it might defeat the ends of
justice.

NEW York, March q.

NEW YORK, March 27.
The steamer Evening Star, from New
Orleans, March 18th, ria Havana, 23d,
has arrived.
The Evening Star arrived, on the 18th,
from Mobile Bay. No news BY her is pub
lished.
The Independent, of the 18th, has the
following: A lady in whom implicit con-
Rdence is placed, and who arrived here last
week from Mobile, states that when she left
that city all appearances indicated that it
was being evacuated by the rebel troops.
Information has since been received
here which would justify the correctness
of this opinion. The report of its evscua-
zion is also credited by the military authori-
ties here. II matters little whether Mobile
be evacuated or not. Whenever the Fede-
rails need the city they will march on it and
take possession.
The property of J. P. Benjamin and
John Slidell, in New Orleans, had been
condemned in the United States District
Court rs forfeit to the United States.
The New Orleans Times learns that Gen.
Bailey, with about 1000 cavalry, made an
advance from Baton Rouge towards Clin-
ton, four days since. He had several
slight skirmishes with the rebels thereabout,
and killed and captured four. In the
our forces lost it is said, thirteen
wagons; when both belligerents separated,
each side probably being satisfied.
The New Orleans markets on the 18th
were almost entirely nominal.

PHILADELPHIA March IL
A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Bulletin from Washington says: A special
messenger who left GoldsbOro, North Car
olins, on the 22d, arrived here to-day, and
reports the occupation ef that place By
Schofeld's forces.
he also brings the highly important in
formation that Sherman formed junction
with Schoheld and Terry at Cox's Bridge,
on the Neuse river, few miles west Of
Goldsboro, on the 2lst.
The 14th Corps of Sherman's army had
q fight with Hardee's forces at Wsynes-
boro, on the 18th instant, in which
the latter was handsomely defeatsd, lesV-
ing all his dead in General Davis hands,
and retreating to Bentonville.
At Bentonvile, on Sunday, the 18th, one
division of the 14th corps was attacked by
Johnston, and, for while, turned back, but
on being reinforced by the rest Of the di-
vision drove the enemy back, and during
Sunday night he abandoned Bentonville,
and fell back scross the Neuse river to
Smithfeld, some ten miles west of Colds
boro. 1t is the merely temporary success
in the first part ofthe fight which the rebels
are boasting over as great victory.
Shermsn's loss will not exceed 1000. Tbs
army is in excellent condition.
Detailed accounts of the foregoing, dated
Goldsboro, March 2lst have also been re-
ceived.
On the 22d schofeld moved out to Coxs
bridge, on the Neuse river, six miles be-
yond Goldsboro, where Terry's forces were
discovered, having marched all the way
from Wilmington.
ain 3 few moments some Of Sherman's
trains of the 10th corps were discovered
moving from BentOnville to Cox's bridge,
and junction of the right wing of Sher-
mans army with Terry's and Schohelds
forces was permanently made. Sherman
had notified Sehofeld that he would be at
Goldsboro on the 22d OF March, and he
kept his word. Some of his staff were
there during that day.
After his repulse at BentonVille Joa
Johnston fell back to Smithheld to cover
Raleigh. Desertions of North Caroline
troops from his army were very numer-

BATTLE BETWEEN SHERMAN AND
JOHNS TON.


The Worlds dispatch from Kinston,
March %, says of Shermsn's fighting last
Sunday and Monday: There was severe
and continuous fighting betWeon7 SheFrIan
and Johnston. bus NO grand battle, john
ssou iecnning a general engagement. The
battle was set in array upon two opposite
ranges of hills on the South side of the
Neuse river, our troops forming westward.
Both armies were defended by esrthworks,
those of Sherman being hastily construct
ed. The fighting lasted two days,
during which some desperate charges
were made on both sides, the rebels eharg-
ing our lines three times, and five times
our men made ecounter-charges. The fight
ing on Sunday was mostly done by the
10th and 14th corps. On Monday the 18th
and 18th came up and partially relieved
them. All along the route from Fayette-
vile, Sherman has had more or less fight
ing every dsy.
The Commercials Washington special
says that 100 rebel officers, captured in the
fight before Petersburg Saturday, arrived
there to day. They say the war can't be
prolonged, and many Of them desired to

the battle was continued until o'clock

which were between their picket line and
