This telegram shows that the only foundation Tor
The reports mentioned, was the repulSe OF 'Several
partial attacks by the enemy" subsequent to their
defeat at Bentonsville. 1t will also be observed
that the redoubtabe Sherman is no longer present
ing tie bold front which he maintained in the pres
eRce of Old men and helpless wemen and children.
The various checks given him by General john
son have evidently cooled his ardor, for instead ri
resuming his onward march, he has ''turued tad"
and moved oG in the direction Of GoliSboro, which
is forty-nne miles from Raleigh. sherman, no
doubt, expects 20 effect junction with Sehofed,
but ere he does So, aud feels emboldened TO take
the offensive again, more than hopeful that
Gen Johnstons army will be in condition Ia give
him another staggering blow.
News FROM "the 'front.' is very difficult to obtain
even at Raleigh. The Progress Of Wednesday says

TIE Raleigh Confederate remarks that " what Il
especially worthy Of notice in The several actions
with the enemy, OF the past two weeks Is the adj
mirable spirit and determined courage Of the troops

seuts and charga him on the advance. On the
other hand, it is noticeable with how much ease
The enemy were driven back though rallying or
successive lines Of reinforcement, he made feeble
resistance and gave hack on our approach.
'sIn these affairs Of the last two weeks, the CO.
operating armies of Sherman have sustained loss
Of fell ten thousand men.
The prestige Of the clustering butter is lost
he has been called and his hand is disclosed, aud
his weakness is patent Our men ieel now that they
can whip him, and they mean todO il. Here on
North Carolina soil they mean TO bring his pre-
sumltuous career to a close. lie has no resources
TO draw upon his fall strength has been developed,
and is insufficient, while Gen Johnston is awaking
enthusiasm, from Virginia to Mississippi. The
tone of the public confidence is daily improving,
and ali exee;,. the contemplate tories who ha-boF
the desire OF their Conntrys overthrow, are elated

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
Col. W. y. Lenwich OF Bedford, writes to the
Lyuohburg TygiRian follows:
Il am willing 70 enlist portion Of my able bod
led coored men, with the promise of their freedom
after the war, provided they stand and fight 1t 0ut
ike true and loyal soldiers. think that all true
and loyal YirgciaEs should be willing 10 adopt
This principle and carry 10 out 90 the letter Unless
something OF the kind is offered our slaves, We had
as well send them Otto Gen. Grant because the
North offers them freedom, and ! am convinced
thar we cannot induce them TO Fyht 10 perpetuate
their Own slayer. .
Itremains with the people Of Virginia, says the
TirJlitqa, whose soil is more menaeed than that
OF aay other State, aud who will asSuredly lose all
ofther slaves If are oytrrun, TO supply the de-
fects oC the bail passed BY Congress- and tender a
portion Of their ablebodied slaves at once, on the
condition before mentioned, to the Government, for
the defence Of our rights OF liberty and property.
This is no time to hold back anything that can pos
sibly contribute to the defence OF the ooyntry.--
We should not falter or hesitate TO make any pre-
sent sacrifice FOX cur own and the public good. :,
