Situation az Goldeboro.

We learn from an entirely reliable
party who left Goldsboro on Wednesday
last that Sherman and Scho6eld are
quietly resting at that place. They
claimto have l30, 00ome butintelligent
persons who have come out think they
have about 100000. AS soon as the
t'ederals entered Goldsboro, guards were
stationed and order maintained ! and up
to ednesday last the citizens had not
been molested in person or property.
No property had been burnt in the town,
and only one citizen, Mr.. Richard
Washington, had been requested to give
up his residence. Mr.. WIS house was
used as headquarters and botl, hotels as
hospitals. JN.l. G.s.f
The poor had been furnished with
rations and some of the better classes
had been furnished with coffee, sugar,
tea, sc. But few persons had left the
town and those who remained were
quietly attending to their business. One
man, n secessioaist had gone forward to
take the oath of allegiance, but they
would not let him do it. The oath had
not been required Of any one.
Withina very short time after enter.
ing Goldsboro, the Federals had erected
three lines of works around the town
and now the placeis strongly fortified.
They are running cars to Newbern and
Wilmington and getting supplies in i'm.
mense quantities.
The people of the county of Wayne,
outside of Goldsboro, have Jared badly
at the hands of the Federals and in
many instances are in very destitute
condition. The houses of j. w. Collier
and w. X. Lane are said to have been
burnt.
We learn from other sources that
Sherman is supplying all who apply
with food, and that many persons Who
live ten and twelve miles this side of
Goldsboro go there for rations.
Sherman is recruiting and reorgan.
izing his army and It's thought he will
move, most probably in the direction of
Raleigh, very soon.--Iealeigh Progress,

Reports.

We have heard, in the past few days,
many reports and rumors that would
be hard even for the reliable gentlemen
who believes in every sensational rumor,
10 swallow. Some say that so-and.so
has been done, that this or that is the
case and in fact mentioning the most
absurd things that Is SAID by somebody
to have happened.
3. We do not believe in any of these
sensational stories They are got up
for the purpose of "benelit" to the'party
propagating them; they are for his own
aggrandizemcnt, and we caution every
one to receive rumors or reports with
many grains of allowance,
This was the case on Wednesday
night last to which we briefly alluded
in our last issue. A report was brought
into our town that the enemy were at
Poplar Springs-every one in the com.
nnhlty, knowing where our Poplar
Spring was located--about 8 miles
from Wimsboro, came to the conclu-
sion that the enemy were again upon u.s.
but it turns out now, after time for re.
tlection, and the reports of worthy per-
sons having been received, that the ere.

Thus it is. A report is heard of one
thing, and in order to give as much self
Importance to its second retailer as is
possible it receives thorough coating
over to make it more re H.able. When
will these many rumors cease? All
should receive everything they hear,
that is the least sensational, with doubt,
and frown down upon every Que found
giving publicity to such reports. They
mean no good to the South, and none to
the community in which they reside.
