-Advites from Newbern, N. c., stats that
large numbers Of deserters come into otir lines,
and say the enemy have evacuated both Colds
borough and Raleigh and have fallen back to
IIisborough with q view, tliey fink, of joining
Lee. They report the enemy mitch 'demorazed
and panic-srickcn, and improving every OPP
portunify presented to desert that the Rebel
soldiers agree with the citizens generally in the
belief that there is no chance for tlte Confedcr,
;acy to succeed and that they are fighting
against hope; that the Rebel officers are giving
their opinions openly to the same effect, and in
many cases they abandon the field with then
men, and that these assertions are N such for
midable bodies, and so open and frequent, that
the enemy are powerless to oppose this state Of
things, which threatens to result in general
stampede of their entire army, so completely dis.
conraged are their officers and men.
They also report that Sherman would occupy
Goldsboro' on Sunday last, that his army is in
high spirits, well feed, and drive the enemy in
confusion at every point. Such are the current
reports brought in by these refugees, aud they
are generally credited.
The enemy after burning their ram abandon
ed Kinston in great haste, throwing all their
heavy g,ns into the Neuse River. They at.
tempted to blow up their magazine which con.
tanned several tons of powder, but failed 1t
fell into our hands, together with large amount
of ordnance and comnlissary stores. Our forces
now occupy Kinston, which was surrendered to
them by the Mayor of the city.

- Gen. Sheridan arrived, few days ago,
near the White House, on the Pamunkey
river, where base of supplies has been es-
tablished, and after resting his men he will
again resume active operations. A cores.
pendent of the New York Times, who was
with Gen. Sheridan in his late raid, gives IL
long and interesting account Of it, and ends
with the following resume:
The real value of the work done by Gen.
Sheridan's command during the last nine
teen days cannot be estimated in dollars and
cents, and yet the money value, when accu
rately computed, amounts to such fabu
lous sum that a person with no personal
knowledge of the facts would hardly credit
the statement when say that $4,000, 900
worth of provisions and materials of war
were destroyed by one little command in
one day. This is no exageraton; and the
same work was repeated at different points.
The Kauawha and James River Canal could
not be repaired in the next two years, pro-
vided the facilities, materials and workmen
were at hand. The banks were not only cut
and levels drained, but this was done fire.
quently at points where, owing to the recent
rains, rapid streams wash in aud wash out the
very bed of the canal itself. At one point
near Scottsvlle the bed, before our troops
left, had been washed out to the depth of ut
least ten feet, and powerful mountain
feeder was making it deeper every hour
From Dajdville to Goochland every lock
and every level was destroyed so thoroughly
that every portion will have to be rebuilt.
The destruction of their line Of communi-
cation, draining as they have done, one of
the most prolific growing sections in the
United States, which has more than supplied
Lees army with "hog and hominy" since
the war began, very naturally creates a panic
ia Richmond such as never existed before.
The ma n artery of the Confederate army,
the canal, has been severed nineteen days.
Sheridan command has obtained supplies
for horses and men in the thirteen counties
traverscd. His troops are free fighters and
free eaters. The supplies consumed and
wasted, and issued to the starving poor,
would in all probability, if issued as syste-
matically as other supplies, have sufiiced to
feed Lees army for months. When to these
we add the destruction of other property,
such as mills of various kinds, tobacco ware
houses manufactured and leaf tobacco, APP
pie Jack, and many other useful articles, it
is easy to infer that the Confederate author
tiles, as well as the people, feel that Sheri
dan strikes hard blows.
To this may be added the cXtiuguishing of
Fairly. one of Lees tavorities, and the de-
struetion of his entire army by Custer,
Under skilful commander, assisted by able
Generals and well-disciplined corps of
troops, all this has been accomplished with q
loss not to exceed four men killed in action,
one drowned, and one dying from exposure
The command to-day is as ready for field
service as it was when it FIRST walked Gut of
Winchester.

said to be correct of the May freshet, in 1896
that of the 18th of March, 1865, will exceed it

much wider than at Conowngo Large guam
titles of round and square lumber found its way
down this crooked stream; together with
bridges, houses, canal boats, &c The destruc-
tion of property has been great. The bridge at
Conowingo caused great uncasiness in the minds
Of those who live in this vicinity. This bridge
was built few years ago, at cost of $4,000,
by citizens of Lancaster, Cecil and Hartford
counties. Its loss would have been greatly
deplored The main bridge is supposed to be
safe, with the exception of the span Oh the
Cecil side, which is gone. The small bridge,
some Is yards from the main bridge, is much
damaged; while the embankment connecting
sthe two bridges is thought to be entirely washed
away. The loss sustained will amount to
