AkW 1Ohkg Mhfch zo.-Ine reports IN
Richmond, of the lighting in N. q, as Civ
en- By the Dispatch of that city, in General
Grants Official, do not coniorm with those
in Raleigh and published in the papers of
that place.
The Raleigh Confederate Of The 2lst says
it hopes that within few days it will be
able to give cheering intelligence. So far
every thing is encouraging.
In the affair which occurred between Har-
des's and sherman's forces, we repulsea
successfully Eve assaults upon our lines,
and held our position until the object was
effected. In Withdrawing we lost 2 guns
because the horses had been killed. Our loss
in Che affair was about 400 killed and wound
ed. The ensmy's loss was about 1900.
OF the battle, Sunday, correspondent
says that very decided advantage was
gained by our troops. The enemy were
driven several miles, with heavy loss. We
| captured some artillery.
The fereest battle occurred on the 10th
near the junction of The Flack with south
river on the Fayetteville and Goldsboro
road, some IS miles below, BentonvilIe, in
the vicinity Of which place the battle Of
| Sunday occurred. SO it would appear the
rebels fell back Is miles afor gaining vic
tory on the 18th inst, when the Union loss
was bloody one. It evident no decisive
battle had been fought.
The Richmond Sentinel Of the 2sd says
Goldsboro has been eyacuated, but at last
accounts the enemy had not entered. The
same paper says there is q band Of rebel
deserters prowling around in Drake county,
Va, puudering the people. The organi-
zation Of coiored troops in Richmond is 90
ing on as apidly as possible. The senti-
mel says he darkies present ludicrous
appearance, but it is generally believed
that Sambo could be taught to handle
gun as well 8 a hoe.
The Petersburg Express says that Grants
trains were moving Saturday night, with
troops toward the left of his line. It may
have been another see-saw movement
to deceive. The weather, however, IS very
fine, and Grant may advance, though 1t is
believed he will not move until Sherman is
nearer him. lAtt1l
The Whig Of the 22d, learns that Fhz
Hugh Lees cavalry attacked Sheridan at
White House on the 2Iy, aud severely

Lieut. Morgan, Of the 2lst Wisconsin, an
escaped prisoner. who lelt Fayetteville on
the 10Th states that the day of the reported
fret battle, at which timn the rear of sher-
mans army was crossing Cape Fear river,
and moving north, e skirmish occurred
between The Il and l4lh corps, and small
body Of rebels. This was all the fighting
reported on that day
The Tribuns's Washington special says
il is believed there that Richmond has
been evacusted, aud that only a strong
rear guard has hsen left 10 keep up picket
lines along its front. I. is also rumored
that Lee is at the head Of the liberated
Richmond army, marching in all haste 70
unite with Johnston and 50 fall upon
sherman.
The Richmond Sentinel, Of the 23d, says
that eastern Louisiana is infested with
! iayhawkers, robbers, aad invaders. Tbs
people are frequently lound dead BY The
waysids. Even women are killed, and,
in short, anarchy reigns supreme.
