He is Reported at Goldsbere., ‘The mail boat Dictator, which arrived this morning from City Point, brought ap from Fortress Monroe five discharged soldiers from the Mth Michigan infantry, Sherman's army. They leit Sherman at Fayetteville on the 15th: | where he then had his headquarters.

These men came down the Cape Fear riveron the transport, | stemer Lady Lang, and were not molested by uerrilias, nor was there any hostile demen- stration whatever from the shore. On the con- trary, hendkerchiefs were waved and cheers given them by the people at various points in evidence of good will. ‘They left Wilmington on Monday morsiing on asteamer for Fortress Monroe. At Wilming- ton it was reported and generally believed that @ portion of Sherman’s army had entered | Goldsboro without any resistance, and that | Sberman himself entered the town on Sunday afterncon.

The music of the first act is rather heavy and confused, but afterwards improves.

Report ef General Lee—Johnsten Claims a Capture ef 3 guns—Shermanm ‘Assumes the Offensive’’ again—Net much Vic- tory. The Richmond FEzaminer, of Tuesday last, contains the following bulletin of Ger. R. E. Lee, dated headquarters of the armies of the Uonfederate States: MARcH 20, 1865.—70 Hon. J. C. Breckinridge: Secretary of War:—“Gen. J. E. Johnston re- ports that abeut 5 p. m., on the 19th instant, he attacked the enemy near Bentonville, routed him, capturing three guns. A mile in the rear he rallied upon fresh troops, but was forced back slowly until 6 p.m., when receiving more troops, he apparently assumed the offensive, which was resisted without difficulty until dark. This morning he is entrenched. Our loss small, and the troops bebaved admirably. Dense thickets prevented rapid operations. (Signed, ) R. E. Ler. On the 11th, Stanton had announced that Sherman was ‘doing finely.” His army was at Fayetteville, ‘quietly resting, Byeparetory to another advance northward.” It seems he did advance, but nottar. This successful at. tack by Gen. Johnston gives earnest that the Feconviavle Sherman has at length met his mat From the West.

Reperted Evac ton of Goldsbore’ and Kaleigh—The Rebels fall back to Hills- boro’—Enemy Demoralized and Panic- StrickenRebel Soldiers Deserting—No Chance for the Confederacy—Sherman to Occupy Goldsboro’ enthe 19th—The Cap- ture of Kinsten—Rebel Gen. Hoke re- ported Killed—Unfulfilled Promises of Rebel Generals—Gallant Conduct of our Treops—Rebels unable te stand before lhem. NiWSEEN, March i5.—Large numbers of deserters came into our lines this afteraoon. They say the enemy have evacuated both Goldsboro’ and Raleigh, and have fallen back to Hillsborough, with a view, they think, of joining Lee. They report the enemy much de- moralized and panic-stricken, and improving every opportunity presented to desert; that the rebel soldiers agree with the citizens gen- erally in the belief that there is no chance for the Confederacy to succeed, and that they are fighting against hope: that the rebel oflicers are giving their opinions openly to the same effect, and in many cases they abandon the field with their men, and that these desertious are in such formidable bodies, and so open and frequent, that the enemy are powerless to op- pose this state of things, which threatens to result in a general stampede of their entire army, 80 completely discouraged are their officers and men. They also report that Sherman will occupy Goldsboro to-morrow; that his army is in high spirits, well fed, and drive the enemy in confusion at every point. Sueh are the current reports brought in this afternoon and evening by these refugees, and they are generally cred- ited here. The enemy, after burning their ram, aban- doned Kinston in great haste, throwing all their heavy guns into the Neuse river. ‘hey attempted to blow up their magazine, which contained several tons of powder, but failed. It fell into our hands, together with a large amount of erdnance and commissary stores. Gur forces now occupy Kinston, which was surrendered to them by the Mayor of the city. Deserters-who came in from the enemy say that the rebel Gen. Hoke was killed in the battle of Friday week, this side of Kinston. It is reported that Bragg had 40,000 men with him when he attempted to destrey the column that waoved from here. Bragg and Hoke gave their men the most solemn assurance that they would march triumphantly into Newbern last Sunday morning, and that each man shonld Tealize a fortune from the proceeds'of the vic- tory, and that Sherman would then be annihi- ited, and the Confederacy established beyond loubt. The loss of Friday’s battle, which was an important one, and which decided the fate of Newberp, the irresistible ruin of the en- emy’s plans t Sherman. The manner in which our men successfally resisted from be- hind their works the eight repeated assaalts of the enemy, who at that time greatly outaum- bered us, not only astcnished our own officers, but elicited a high tribute to their courage from Gen. Bragg. This battle made it very apparent that Bragg’s men could not be induced to make ar- other stand. Sapp are now being forward- ed up the Neuse Riverto Schofield and Snher- man’s armies. Their armies will doubtless be united to-morrow or next day. NORTH CAROLINA. The Great Union Meeting in Wilmington. The Wimington Herald of the Union of the 15th gives ap interesting account of the Union meeting held in Wilmington on the night pre- vious, The gathering of the citizens at the Theater, im pursuagce to the callof the Mayor, was very large, enthusiastic, and highly respecta- ble., A small detachment of the provost guard ‘was stationed atthe door with strict orders to re- fuse admission to all officers and privateseither of the army or navy. None other than citizens the stick, delivered to | of the town were admitted, except the corres- pondents and reporters of the press of New York and other places, and possibly a few civilians following the army, whose dress made them unrecognizable. It was purely a gath- ering of citizens, as free from any foreign ele- ment as it was possible for a public gathering to be. 486 In the throng that filled the bo dy and galle- Ties of the large house were a majority of the present male inhabitants of the town. In the dress circle were scattered a large number of ladies, who seemed to be eagerly interested in the pro: gs. The stage was handsomely draped with @merican fisgs, placed there in anticipation of the meeting by eUme loyal citizens, 0 appa- rently entertained no doubtof what the senti- id be. The bands of e first and second brigades of Ames’ division, jeneral Terry’s corps, were in attendance throughout; the. eveni During the assem- bling of the meeting, ie Soe eloquent music outside, 4!

They also call upon the citizens of North Carolina to join with them in protesting against the madness of the State authorities who urge a fratricidal war, and invite them to accept the condition in which the fortune of war has placed them, and to submit to the national authority, so that the State may be speedily restored to the Union. The resolutions bear testimony to the general courtesy and good order of the national troops, both officers and privates, the promptness and efficiency of the military authorities in protect- ing the citizens, and especially their liberality to the poor and suffering in Wilmington, and are to be sent to the President of the United States, the Governor of North Carolina, and the 1eading newspapers of the State.
