WASHINGTON, March l2.-The Rich
mond Dispatch Of Friday contains the fol-
lowing dispatch from Lees headquarters,
March 9th:
10 Breckinrdge: Bragg reports tn
he attacked the enemy yesterday, fou'
miles in front of Kinston, and drove hi
from his position. He disputed the groun
obstinately, and took up new line thrt 3
miles from his first. I'VE captured three
pieces of artillery ard $500 prisoners.
The number of the enemy's dead and
wounded left on the field is large; ours Is
comparatively small. The troops be.
haved most handsomely. Generals Hill
and Hoke exhibited their usual skill and
energy. (Signed) LEE.
kinston, near which the fight occurred,
is situated on the direct route from Colds
boro to Newbern, and is about twenty
miles east of GoldSboro and about thirty
from Newbern. 1t Is supposed this force
of the enemy was advancing from New
bern against Goldsboro, for the purpose
of cutting the railroad ut that point. It's
not probable, after this repulse, that the
enemy will attack, still less advance. 1t
is likely we shall next hear of them fall
ing back on Newbern, or changing their
course to some other point of the COM
pass. This movement of the enemy was
evidently designed to be cooperative with
Sherman.

Rebel Negro Enlistment Law - De-
bnte in the Rebel Congress thereon
The rebel papers have articles on the
passage of the Enlistment Negro Act, say
ing it is a measure of necessity and not Of
choice. Wigfall, during the debate, de-
nounced the Legislature of Virginia, and
demanded the resignation of jeff. Davis.
The speech of Senator Hunter, in the rebel
Senate, is printed. He is for the bill to
arm and emancipate the negroes, under
instructions from the Virginia Legislature.
but entered his protest against it as an
abandonment of the contest on the ground
upon which the South seeded. He also
showed from statistics that no considera-
BILE body of negro troops could be raised
in the States over which the Government
had control without stripping the country
of labor absolutely necessary to produce
food, and stated that the commander of
conscripts, with authority to impress
10000 slaves, had since last September
been able to get but 1000, of whom $500
were from Virginia and North Carolina,
and the balance from Alabama. Hunter
also argued that negroes would not volun-
teer. Those that they got would desert
to the enemy, who could offer them better
prices.
