CLEVELAND, TUESDAY MORNING MAECH EM 28, 1865. NO. 75. DAILY LEADER H E4T, HAKI H 88, 1H63 The recent misfortunes oi tbe Confed ency appear to have been too much for the reason of the rebel chiefs. The tel ?grph informs ut that the evacuation of 'Wil mington was a mistake, and that General Bragg denies having ordered it. The Ra leigh Confederate savs that Bragg did not mean to fight at Kinston, bat ran against the Yankee lines by mistake, through an error of his guide. By and by, Bragg, and the rest of tbe rebels, will find out that the whole Confederacy, from beginning to end, bai itself been the grandest of mis takes. Our readers will find in our Columbus special a list of military claim agents for this Slate, appointed by the Governor and confirmed by tbe State Senate. "With one exception they are re-appointment. The present incumbrants of the offices havei as far as onr knowledge goes, done ample justice to themselves and the State. Their re-appointment testifies to this. The Occupation of Kinston. TneewberaTmf' Kinston correepon debt tends to that paper, under date of March lltb, a description of the Union ad vance on Kinston and the occupation of that place. Host of this ha) already been transmitted by telegraph, but the follow ing interesting items were not sent "West : Yesterday morning, when our line of skirmishers had reached the work) on the south ride of the river, a few shots were fired st them from the other side. A sig- al officer who accompanied the skirmish ers, reconnoitered the town, and sent word back by signals tha', tbee were no signs of an enemy of any magnitude. This signal nag seems nrst to nave Deen mistaken lor a ne of truce, and for a moment the firing Caused. On discovering the mistake, tbey renewed the firing for a few moments, di recting their fire principally at the signal 11 sg. a s soon as it was evident that we were advancing in force, the deputation of citi zens that I referred to yesterday came down to the bridge, and held a brief con versation with General Schofleld across the stream. " I am authorized, said the Mayor, " to surrender tbe town and claim proteblion fouts inhabitants. " The pro tection," replied General Schofleld, " will depend upon their behavior." Inquiry was made wnetner tnere were any soldiers there, "yes," replied the Mayor, "the pickeU fire there, but they have orders not to fire." " 1 don't care whether they do or not," said the General. As a part oi our lorce was aireaay la cing Kinston in line of battle, aud as there Wis a btttery on the river bank com manding the town, it was evidently a matter of more concern to the inhabitants than to our commanding General that there should be no more tiring. The Characteristics of the Leading New York Dallies. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, in well considered article on "The Forte of Journalists," thus accurately characterizes the strong points of each of the three lead ing dailies of New York city. The habit ual readers of these papers will be struck with the truth of its remarks : The New York Herald is the greatneMU- paper of our country. It has attached to its staff a corps of Mercuries, who fly on w intra of speed from all quarters of the world, and bear to its editorial rooms the latest intelligence. It is characterized by its energy, ana its liDeraiiiy ior me earn est information, and, although not as reli- able as some of its co tempore r'.e, it pcssss- es the merits of containing all lnlormauon the true as well as the false. Consequent ly we find the statement that "the .New i'ork Herald of this morning contains the followine important intelligence," has be come almost proverbial. The New York Tribune has adinarent special department. Politics is emphatically its strong point. It is the most correct of all our American journals, lva articles seldom touch upon the war, except in its political bearing, and in the field ot political journalism it rules supreme. Tbelatett election despatches, the statistical condition oi tne various btates, and conjectures oi coming, events in the "ring," can always be found in its col umns. The Tunes has also an able po lilical editor, but it lacks stability of princi pie. nnatonce appears in tbe 1nbune can be considered as its sentiments, its con scientious sentiment. What is published the limes is temporary: anl while it has ability it lacks determination. Its financial articles are most generally copied, and all over the country we find tbe money editor of the Times looked upon as the So lon ol wall street. Bomacnin regard to the eeneial features of the New York journals. In connection with the editorial department proper, we find the reverse of tbe news column. The Heralds editorials are never copied, while in every Western publication we find articles taken from the J rib tme and Timet. The editorial m- uence exerted by the two latter journals enormous Deyona calculation, and we may safely say that the fifty thousand copies their presses actually print is but a tenth part of the editions through which tneir euitoriais go. Personal Items. Mr. Tennyson is reported to be at work on the libretto of an opera, for which an eminent composer is to compose the music. Mr. John McLenan, the well-known ar. list, died in New York recently. He was a native ol Cincinnati, aud second only to irariey. Eon. J. M. Ashley's suit against the Tol edo Blade, for libel, commenced two or three years ago, with damages laid at $20, 000, was recently dismissed for w&ntef prosecution. Mr. L. It. Crounse, an accomplished snd energetic journalist belonging to the staff of tbe New York Daily Times, has succeed ed Mr. William B win urn in the Washing ton correspondence of that paper, and has entire charge of the Times bureau in that city. Col. Wallace, one of the editors of the Louisville Journal, has died. His last mo ments were calm and peaceful. A short time before the light faded from his eyes he whispered to his kind physician : "The clock has run down and the machinery is broken :" and then closing his eyes, a pleasant smile irradiating his features, the watcners at tug bed-side ecircely realized when he passed to another world.

Xo decision was reached. The House passed Mr. Osborn's bill to provide manufacturing, bridge and gas companies to increase their capital stock. The Agricultural College bill was under consideration the greater portion of the day. A substitute was offered by Mr. Stanton, of Hamilton county, to accept the dona tions of the farmers' College, near Cincin nati, and endow it with the interest of one third of the proceeds of the land scrip sold. No vote has yet been taken on this pro position. At a Bossion held this evening the pro position to accept the donation of the Farmers College, was defeated in the House by a decisive vole ; only eighteen members were in favor of it. Mr. Delano's bill for a Central A gi Cul tural College was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow. Associated Press Report. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. Wab Department, Washington, March 2710:30 p, Major General Dix: The following official reports of the ope rations of the Army of the Potomao on Saturday, and of General Sherman's ope rations since he left Fayetteville have been received this morning. General Sherman was at Goldsboro on the 22d of this month. No movements have been msde on either side before Richmond or Petersburg since Saturday night. (Signed) E. M. STANTON, Secretary Df War. CITY POINT, March 27.—10:30. Hon E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War : The battle of the 25th resulted in the following losses on our side : 2d Corps killed, 61; wounded, 462; missing, 302; 9th Corps killed, 68; wounded, 338; missing, S06. Our captures by tbe 2d Corps were 361, by the 6th Corps 469, and by the 9th Corps 1049. The 2d and 0th Corps poshed forward and captured tbe enemy's strong entrenchments, and turned its guns against nim, and still held it. In trying to retake this, the battle was continued until 8 o'clock at night, the enemy losing very heavily. Humphreys estimated the loss of the ene my in his front at three times his own, and General Wright, in his front, as double that of ours. The enemy brought in a flag of truce for permission to collect his dead, which were between their picket line and their main fortifications. Permission was granted. . (Signed) U. S. GRANT Lieutenant-G eneraL CITY POINT, 11 A. M., March 27. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: I am in receipt of Sherman's report of operations from the time he left Fayette ville up to the 22d inst. It shows hard fighting, resulting in very heavy loss to the enemy in killed and wounded, and over 2,000 prisoners in our hands. His own loss, hesays, will be covered by 2,500 men since he left Savannah. Mwiv of them are but slightly wounded. U. S. GRANT, Lt, Gen. THE FIGHT AT PETERSBURG. CITY POINT, March 25. News has just reached here of an attack on our line tbia morning at daylight by the enemy at rort b teaa man, near tne Appo- m&tox river, capturing the fort and taking priBuutjrB ueariy ait lis garrison. j.uey eent these prisoners over tbe works toward tbeir lines, but on their way tbey broke from the guard and nearly all escaped back to our line on this side of the works. The line on each side of the fort was taken and heli for some time by the rebels, but reinforcements ar rived and tbey were driven back, losing heavily in killed and wounded as they ran between the lines. Our los in not known at this hour, but is believed to be small. The line is now reported to be re-establish' ed as formerly. LATER. CITY POINT, March 23, 3 P. M. The result of the engagement was more important tnan at first reported. At the point where tbe enemy charged the main lines are only 160 yards apart, the ground between being level and free from ob structions except the abattis in front of the works on eacn side. At this place firine between the pickets has been almost con tinuous, ana scarcely a day passes without two or three being wounded, on our side alleatt. inis part of tbe line bas been occupied by the 3d brigade of the 1st divi sion of the 9th corps, Geneial McLaugh lin commiandng. inis morning four divisions of tne ene my were massed in the rear of their line, under command of General Terry, who was appointed to lead the charge. Those troops consisted of Bushrad Johnson's, Walker's, Evans' and Gues' Divieions of General Gordon's Corps. aioah. tne cnaree was made, and tbe time occupied in crossing the space be tween the lines, cutting down the abattis, and getting to the rear of the fort was the work oi only a few minutAa. ii era alley wrmea in line ot battle, brig ade front ; and while one portion advanced on tne tort, tne otner swept to tne right, in towa'dithe Appomat'or,xpectingto flank ana capture tne wnoie line to tne river. The latter party were met by the 17th Micbigan, ana driven back atter some hard righting. The force that attacked the fort were repulsed by the garrison several times, but their numbers being so superior to ours they finally overpowered and took pris oners nearly all who were in it. They at once sent tbe captured over the works into tbeir line and many got away, as the guard was small. General Wilcox moved op part of his o xnmani from the right to the scene of action, ana soon drove tne enemy trom tne line on tne ngnt ot tbe fort. Ueneral HartsufTs Division, lying partly in reserve and partly on the line to the left, was quickly on the ground, with reinforce ments, and at once assaulted the fort, in turn, from the rear, which Ihe rebels seemed determined to hold at all hazards. Re peated charges were made, and alter that the lighting here was over, the "Johnnies" laying down their arms and surrendering to tne lett ot tne lort is located Battery No. 11, which the enemy also managed to get possession of, but did not keep it long, and although they fought hard they were compelled to relinquish it Col. McLaugh lin, commanding a brigade occupying this part of the line, was among the captured. Our loss in killed, wounded and prisoners is believed to be about 600, one-third of whom are probably prisoners. It was at first reported that the rebels had carried off three mortars, but that is a mistake. They took one over the side of the fort, but lc their haste to get back to their line they dropped it within a few yards of the breastworks, irom wmcn place it will be brought in to-night. The loss of the enemy is much heavier than ou'S. Their dead and wounded num ber morHhan double ours, wbile we have over 1,800 prisoners. ine rebel Ueneral Terry, wno command ed the assault, is reported killed. Ueneral ilartsun was reported badly wounded, but he is unhurt. He was on the field at one o'clock arranging a flag of truce, at the request of General Gordon, to bury the dead and care for the wounded. It seems that the enemy believed Grant bad Bent away a portion of this army to aid Sherman, and that, in consequence of this, our,lines were very weak. In this they bave tound out, to their cost, that tbey were sadly mistaken. The 9 In corps nave, in this aflair, paid tbe rebels back for their defeat at the ex plosion of tbe Petersburg mine, and hence forth they will be held in as high esteem by them asjany other in the army. THIRD DISPATCH. Citt Point, March 25. After the en gagement between the enemy and the 9th Corps this morning, orders were were giv en lor tbe 6 th Corps to make an attack on the left of the line in front of Fort Fisher. The 3d division, General Seymour com manding, was selected as the assaulting column, and shortly after noon the line of battle was tormed and tbe order to advance given. In a short time our men had pos setsion of the entire line of rifle pits of the enemy, nearly all the occupants having been made prisoners. Our loss in the affair was very trifling. Over 600 prisoners were bronght in as the result of tbe engagement. Still another fight took place at Hatcher's run, in which the 2d Corps was engaged. The attack was made about dark. Over 400 prisoners fell into our hands on this ground, making in all to-day, about 2785, among whom are nearly 100 commissioned officers, the high est in rank being a Colonel. This does not include tbe rebel wounded in hospitals, whose numbers are considerable. These men seemed , as they passed along, com pletely satisfied with their position, no doubt anticipating a larger supply of rations than they have been getting. It was reported that General Gordon was seen urging bis men to flight, and at times swearing at them for cowardice, end ing with the exclamation "By God, just as I thought, the men won't fight," after which he was not seen. Lieutenant Nye, of the 14th Massachu setts battery, was killed while fighting. He was ordered to surrender but refused, and eix bullets were found to have entered his body. Colonel Pentcast, ot the 100th Pennsylvania, was also killed. FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON March 27. J. Walker publishes a card in the Chronicle to-day, denying the story of the Montreal O'jaette that he had visited Canada to propose annexation. His visit was purely of a private nature. He does not know the news of either Govern ments on the subject of annexation. Recruiting is dull everywhere, and draft ing will be again resorted to in order to obtain men. It began in Baltimore this morning. Everything is going on well in the ar miej. FROM BOSTON. BOSTON, March 27. The police to-day closed two gift enter prise establishments, one at 102 Washing' ton street and the other on Sunbury street, and arrested all parties, some twenty in number. These arrests were made under the law prohibiting lotteries. Well executed counterfoil 50s on the PAv?.'t!uck Bank, Conn , and a'so counter Lit 500i on tin Htvcrhi'l JStnk, Maw., are in circulation. BOSTON, March 27. FROM NEW ORLEANS---EVACUATION OF MOBILE. NEW YORK, March 27. The steamer Evening Star, from New Orleans, March 19th, via Havana, 23d, bis arrived. The Evening Star arrived, on the 18th, from Mobile Bay. N o news by her is pub- lisneo. The Independent, of the 17th, has the following: A lady in whom lmDlicit con fidence is placed, and who arrived here last week from Mobile, states that when she left tnat city all appearances indicated that it was being evacuated by tbe rebel troops. Information has since been received here which would justify the correctness of this opinion. 1 be report ot its evacua lion is also credited by tbe military authori ties here. It matters little whether Mobile be evacuated or not. Whenever the Fede rals need the city they will march on it and take possession. Tne property ot J. r. .Benjamin and John Slidell, in New Orleans, had been condemned in the United States District Court as forfeit to the United States. The New Orleans Times learns that Gen. Bailey, with about 1000 cavalry, made an advance from Baton Bouge towards Clin ton, four days since. He had several Blight skirmishes with the rebels thereabout, and killed and captured four. In the meantime our forces lost, it is said, thirteen wagons, when both belligerents separated. each side probably being satisfied. Tne JNew Orleans markets on tne l?th were almost entirely nominal. BATILE BETWEEN SHERMAN AND BATILE BETWEEN SHERMAN AND JOHNSTON. NEW YORK, March 27. The Worlds dispatch from Kinston, March 22, says of Sherman's fighting last Sunday and Monday: There was severe anrl nnntiniinua fltrhtiner betwpon Srman and Johnston. bar grand battle, Jobn- ton-trecuning a general engagement, xne battle was set in array np-m -two opposite ranges of hills on the South side of the Xeuse river, our troops forming westward. Both armies were deienaea by eartnworgg, those of Sherman being hastily construct ed. The fighting lasted two days, daring which some desperate charges were made on Dotn sides tne reneis cnarg- ing our lines three times, and five times our men made counter-charges. The fight ing on Sunday was mostly done by the 20lh and 14th corps. On Monday the 15th and 17th came up and partially relieved them. All along the route from Fayette ville, Sherman has had more or less fight ing every dsy.

As the call progress ed the market grew weak. The second board was generally dull on the railway list and lower prices were made in most in stances. Good demand for Government stocks, Gold bonds at full prices, but the offerings were limited, The public here and elsewhere have absorbed a large amount of these securities duriug the past few days. Nothing special to notice in bank shares. State bonds and railway mortgages, C3al and miscellaneous shares, are all firmer, with an upward tendency in Cumberland and Quicksilver. There has been nothing important in the Gold speculation today. The street has been quite free from rumors, and the mar ket was very steady. There was a moderate inquiry for money. with an abundant supply. - The large advance in whisky to-day is due to the fact that two more illicit distil leries have been closed, one in this city and the other in Cincinnati.

The Times editorially says in all proba bility our future relations with Mexico will be de ermined mainly by circumstances quite beyond our control. Whatever the policy of our Government, sixty days will not eiapse after the disbandonment of our armies before Maximillian sees the gleam of American bayonets. Many soldiers af ter disbandonraent of our army will doubt less go to Mexico and join Juarez. The Tribune's Washington special says a sub committee from the Committee on the Conduct of the War, consisting of Rep resentatives Julian and Gooch, ig to visit Fort Fisher this week to make examinations on the spot about disputed pn:w wucern- ing Butler's rruvoauents. rnoEABLR t'AUSK AND EFFECT ov I.BE S FROM NEW YORK PAPERS. ATTACK. The Times' Washington special says it is the general accepted opinion of Lee's at tack that it was made under the spur of desperate necessity, and having failed, the evacuation of the Petersburg lines and of Richmond itself, cannot long be postponed Military men look on it as a mask to cover the retreat of the rebel army. The "World's Baltimore correspondent says : in a lew weeks tne Bouthern Uon- fedeiacy will be numbered with the things of the past, and the rebels will have neither army, capital nor government. News from releidom has produced a feeling of deep depression among Southern sympa thizers, more than any previous events of the war. The Southern army is 92,000 strong. No more men can be raised. Richmond will be held as long as the reb el army consists of 80,000 men. Nearly half of the Southern army have deserted since the fall of Wilmington and Charles ton. The ruia of their railroads renders it impossible for thorn to make use of their resources. The closing of the last fort cuts off their supplies from England. They have few munitions of war, and limited and reduced means of manufacturing them, and all hope of foreign intervention has been finally dispelled. The Newborn Times says that during Couch's march from Wilmington the army passed through three different lines of works, all of them facing northward in the direction General Couch was moving. WHEREABOUTS OF FOREST. The Herald's special from Gravelly Springs, Ala., with General Wilson's com mand, says that at latest intelligence from Forest he was encamped at West Point with eight regiments, four of which were negroes. PROVISIONS AND CLOTHING FOR EXCHANGED UNION PRISONERS. The same correspondent says that a train of fifty wagons, loaded with provis ions aud clothing, were about starting to meet our exchanged prisoners on their way from Tupelo. FROM REBEL PAPERS. The Richmond Examiner has a letter from Fayetteville which says: Fayetts yille is ruined 1 All the arsenal buildings, the market, court house, printing office, both foundries, all the mills, cotton fac tories, and all the oil works have been de stroyed. They robbed the people of everything in the way of food. The de struction in Cheraw is said to have been extensive. Tbe Raleigh Democrat says : Judging from what we hear of the operations in Eastern and Middle North Carolir a, we consider the signs more encouraging if not decidedly cheering. Sherman will be pre vented from crossing the North Carolina Railroad. Sherman and the Yankee na tion will soon learn that marching through the country is not conquering it. The Raleigh Progrets says : Much un just abuse has been heaped upon thecavalrv under General Wheeler. Much of the marauding and plundering charged to them has been perpetrated by others. Sev eral of them have been at the house of the editor of this paper for nearly a week past. We can with truth say, we have never seen a more orderly or well behaved set of men. The Examiner, of the2 Uh, says : On the lines before Richmond and Petersburg there is an unbroken quiet. Our troojrs have, within the l?t few days, been ad dressed by various speakers, though poli ticians have more need to be encouraged by the army than the army by politicians. There is an impression tbat Grant is pre paring or pretending to send a portion ot his army to North Carolina to help Sher man out of bis troubles ; this gentleman is decidedly brought to a stand. Those wonderful marches of his, in which the Yankees so much exult, seem to be over for the present, Instead of burning towns and robbing people he finds armed men in front. The Examiner abuses Foots for bis pub lic address to southerners abroad, and hopes he will remain sequestered for the rest of his existence. The Dispatch of the 24th says: The mails for the South, which should have been forwarded this morning, were not prepared for transmission, in conseqnence of the clerks being ordeici out to perform guard duty. The Dispaieh appeals to deserters to re turn to their commands and says the war will soon be ended, if the soldiers will make an earnest and combined effort. Tho Tribune's army of the Potomaa special says: The rebel General Gordon is reported to bave been killed in the battle of tbe 25th. He was directing an attack upon Fort Steadman. As soon as our forces had retaken Fort Steadman, a coun ter-attack was made by the left of oar line upon the enemy. The enemy thought they had weakened their line therein order to mass troops in the forts their chosen way of attack. This was correct. for the enemy had massed one of their corps to their left. In the early part of the day the 2d corps made an attack by advancing its left formed on the 1st and 3d divisions, with tbe 2d in reserve. After some sharp fight ing the left of the line gained three miles of ground, the broken line of the enemy tailing back upon some roar defenses. This move now brings the line of the 2d corps not far from the Boydtown plank road, but the road is stUl in the hands of the rebels. The forces pitted against this ad vance wss at first very small, but the ene my in haste moved back their 3d corps to their right and threw it into action. In the meantime the 6th corps also pushed its line forward, so that the strength of the enemy's line was fairly tmtad w6 its center and right. The skirmish line of the rebels fell back as the corps went on and their batteries opened sharplv - n but in spite of this wen un til tbe en - "ore fcrced wto their de- icnces. Tbe corps came to halt and took steps to hold the ground gained by this ad vance. The 6lh corps occupies ground until to day held by the rebel pickets. The result of the days fighting are, that the rebels were badly repulsed in their at tack, and. the left of our line has gained another step toward the South side of the railroad. About noon the Presidsht, with Gen erals Grant snd Ingalls, came up from City Point by special train. They went into the field, and the attack of tha 2d and 6th Corps were made under the eyes of the President. It is reported that Gen. Lee wss cn the field and directed the attack of his army. LATEST FROM GRANT'S ARMY. The steamer Webster, which has just ar rived from the front, brings intelligence of a general engagement all along our lines to-day. This doubtless refers to Saturday. One hundred and five rebel officers, cap tured yesterday afternoon, came down on the Webster. Gen. Sheridan, with his entire cavalry force, had reached Grant's army in safety. WASHINGTON, March 27.

A number of men of Sheridan's command arrived at City Point, from White House, and brought their saddles and equipments with them, and will remain there until freshly mounted. ARRIVAL OF REBEL OFFICERS. One hundred and ten rebel offioers, cap tured on Saturday, have arrived here. RESIGNED. Hon. Wm. Whiting has res:gnedhis position as Solicitor of the War Department. PROMOTED. Genoral Hartsuff, on the recommenda tion of General Grant, has been promoted to be Major-General, by brevet, for con spicuous gallantry in pushing the enemy from, a lodgment made on ourselves. THE FORT SUMTER CEREMONIES. Last Saturday the President ordered Brevet Major General Anderson to raise over Fort Sumter, at noon on the 14th of April, the United Slates flag that floated over it at the time ot the rebel assault, and that it he saluted with 100 guns from Sum ter, and from every fort and rebel battery that then fired upon Sumter ; also, that suitable military ceremonies be performed under the direction of Major General W. T. Sherman, whose operations compelled the evacuation of Charleston, or, in his ab sence, by General Gillmore; and also that the naval forces at Charleston be directed to participate in the ceremonies, and the Rev. Henry Ward Beech er be invited to deliver an address on the occasion. THE FRENCH DEFEATED. RSemi-official advices from Chihuahua, Mexico, to the 3d of February, have been received here. An extra of an official paper contains the following news of the French defeat : The Government has just received authoritative intelligence that Genneral Coreua, after having caused the French force which marched from Burango to May al ton through Senna Ne vada with some loss, was defeated entirely in the village of Veranos. Other advices state that the French forces at Durango advanced to Chishuhua, and on the 29th of January they were at Riolflorida. Next day, however, they re turned to Durango. The Mexicans are be ing prepared to receive them. General Negu had lelt Ohichuhua with all the available force there to meet the French. FROM BALTIMORE. BALTIMORE, March 27. The American's Annapolis special says : The flag of truce boats New York and Manhattan arrived from Yarina, with 1,315 paroled men and 60 officers, most of the latter were captured in North Car olina. When the boats left, fighting was going on in front of Petersburg and it was re ported that Grant had advanced his lines some miles. SHERIDAN ACROSS THE JAMES. General Sheridan, with his whole caval ry force, crossed the James at Deep Bot tom, yesterday morning, to join Grant's army. Everything shows that some deci sive movement was about to take place. QNo papers could be had from the rebels About 100 tick men were admitted into the hixpital at Annapolis from the boats. SHERIDAN ACROSS THE JAMES. FROM NEW ORLEANS. NEW ORLEANS, March 21.

The Heralds Newborn dispatch, of tha 20th, says: Supplies are being rapidly for warded to Sherman's army..- Transporta tion is abundant. The Sanitary Cornraia. sion agents are also actively at work. The number of refugees attaching them selves to Shermans army is enormous. Tha people of North Carolina almost unani mously welcome his appearance. All that reached Fayetteville with him were sent to Wilmington. , It appears that the evacuation of Kinston. by the rebels was a mistake. Bragg denies having ordered it. Hoke produces a tele gram sustaininghis action. The telegraph, operator escaped and is now in Newborn. An officer, just in, says an entire rebel brigade attempted to desert between Kins ton and Goldsboro, and had a fight with: other rebel troops. The Tribune's Washington special sayc the city has been full of rumors that th whole right wing of Lee's army has sur rendered, but the War Department has no such information. The Heralds dispatch, speaking of thesa rumors, says they are simply premature. The President telegraphed from the front at 11 A. M. yesterday, that our lines had been advanced on the left so as to include those previously occupied by the enemy's skirmishers, and that in this movement be tween 400 and 600 rebels were captured. The Tribune's Kinston correspondent says it is reported that at least two brigades of rebel troops are secreted In the swamps along the Neuse river awaiting an oppor tunity to enter our lines. The Tribune? s Washington special says ; General Crook has been assigned to a com mand in the Army of the Potomaa ueneral Singleton, just from Richmond.' ridicules the idea oi a renewal of peace ne- fuwnaan s men are being remounted, ana will soon be in the saddle. The Charlotte South Carolianan says : la the fight at Bentonville two corps under Slocum and Kil Patrick (cavalry) were held in check by a brigade commat ded by Col Alfred Rhett for five hours, and then be ing reinforced by another brigade, the Yan kees were repulsed. Colonel Rbett was miseirj g, and their loss was about five hun dred, while ours was three thousand. A dispatch from Augusta of the 20th says that one thousand ot the old army of the Tennessee and army oi V lrgrnia, con gregated in that city during the past tea days, and being supplied, will start at osc for a long march. These are said to be ab sentees. The Tribune's army of the James corre spondent says the rebels have succeeded in getting about 600 negro troops organ ized, and in Richmond defences. The) white rebel troops don't like their new as sociates. The Heralds correspondent, off Galves ton February 24th, Bays the rebel schooner Anna Dale, of twenty-seven tons, fitted oak for a privateer and about to sail next day was cut loose from under two rebrl batter ies, in Matagorda bay on the 19th, by two boats' crews from the gunboat Pinola, under command of ensign J. W. -Brown. After securing the commander and crewr they started for the national fleet, but that vessel grounded and had to be burned. FROM GOLDSBORO. PHILADELPHIA, March 27. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Bulletin from Washington says: A special messenger who left Goldsboro, North Car olina, on the 22d, arrived here to-day, and reports the occupation i that place by Schofleld s forces. He also brings the highly important in formation that Sherman formed a junction with Hchofield and Terry at Cox's Bridge, on the Neuse river, a few miles west of Goldsboro, on the 21st. The 14th Corps of Sherman's army had a fight with Hardee's forces at Waynes boro, on the 16th instant, in which, the latter was handsomely defeated, leav ing all his dead in General Davis" hands, and retreating to lien ton villa At Bentonville, on Sunday, the 17th, ona division of the 14th corps was attacked by Johnston, and, lor a whiie, turned back, bub on being reinforced by the rest of the di vision drove tne enemy back, and during; Sunday night he abandoned Bentonville, and fell back across the Neuse river to Smithfleld, some ten miles west of Golds boro. It is the merely temporary succetst in the first part of the light which the rtbe's are boasting over as a great victory. Sherman s loss will not exceed looo. Thai army is in excellent condition. Detailed accounts of tbe foregoing, dated Goldsboro, March 21st, have also been re ceived. On the 2 2d Schofleld moved out to Cox's bridge, on the Neuse river, six miles be yond Goldsboro, where Terry's forces wero discovered, having marched all the way from Wilmington. 3 In a few moments some of Sherman's trains of the 20th corps were discovered moving from Bentonville to Cox's bridge, and a junction of the right wing of Sher man's army with Terry's and bchofield'i forces was permanently made. Sherman bad notified Schofleld that he would be at Goldsboro on tne 22d ot March, and ha kept his word Some of his staff werar there during that day. After his repulse at Bentonville Jo Johnston fell back to Smithfleld to coyer Raleigh. Desertions of North Carolina, troops from his army were very numerous. FROM HAVANA. NEW YORK, March 27. The steamer Havana from Havana, 2 2d, has arrived. The pirate steamer Owl, which cleared for Maiamoras, sailed the 21st, preceded, by half an hour, by the gunboat Cherokee! and followed by a Spanish man-of-war. Before coming to Havana, from Nassau, the Owl landed, at Little River, N. C , an Iiish member of the British Parliament. 1 The rebel General Preston was brought to Havana by the Owl, who is said to hava been sent to circulate the report that Max imilia is to recognize the Confederacy, open Tampico as a port to abjudicate tha maratime captured, and a grand simulta neous sortie by a swarm of pirates is to be made. Tbe Owl is under the notorious sneak, Maffit, and is known to have cannon and an munition in her hold, and will probably fit out as a pirate. Several of her crew deserted at Havana and went to Xassua, probably intending to visit New York. Advices from the United States had da-pressed sugar and molasses at Havana. NEW YORK, March 27. FIRE. UTICA, NEW YORK, March 27. The Utica Female Seminary was de- stroyed, at four o'clook this morning, by fire. Loss heavy.
