reported arrival Of a portion of sherman's
forces at Wilmington, or even that june
ton had been effected with schofeld's army
General schoiield, with part Of his army,
had advanced about ten miles out from
Wilmington, and met with frequent resis-
lance from proving bands ofguerrillas and
small detachmsnts of the enemy, who APP
peared to be ever on the alertto pick up
stragglers belonging to his command.
The rebels were also endeavoring to cut
of the supplies which we're left at Will
mington under strong guard, for the use
Of his troops.
Nothing of the movements of General
Sherman was known in Wilmington, but it
was thought that Gen. Terry would resume
active movements in aid of the campaign
in North Carolina.
