Frem Richmond papers of the 2d and 4th We take the following: at Bentensville. We received no exchanges this morning from pernts south of Danville. The following para- graph from the Danville Register of yesterdty, Telative to the victory at Bentonsville, wis written before the reception there of the offisial telegram, and is the only news; tatement of the affair which has reached us.

General Jobbston telegraphed a day or two ago that in Hardee’s fight with Sherman, on tbe iéth, the Confederate loss was four hun- dred and fifty, and that ot Sherman three shovsand five hundred. The fight took place at Averysboro, on the Cape Fear river, on Tbursday, the i6th inst. Averysboro is about half way between Fayetteville and Raleigh. Gexeral Jobnston’s defeat of the enemy was three days later, at Bentonville near the Neuse Tiver, ebowing that Sherman's repulse by Har- dee had turned him from his course. [then the Richmond Enquirer, March 23.) ‘he Raleigh papers of Tuesday haveno defi- ‘alte details of the recent fights between John- ston and Sherman. The ( onfederate says :— ‘We Rope to be able in a day er twotogiveour readers reliable and cheering intelligence So far everytDing is encouraging. General John- stop inspires enthusiasm, and the army is in Sine spirite and each day increasing in nom- bers. In the affair which occurred a few days since between Hardee’s and Sherman's forces, We repulsed successfully five assacits uponour Jines, and held our position until the object was effected. In drawing off we lost two guns, because the borses bad been killed. and the guns could not be brought away. Oar loss in the affair was about four hundred killed and wounded. The enemy’s about four thousand Sberman marches no more uninterruptedly. Of the battle on Sunday the correspondents state a very decided advantage was gained by ourtroops. The enemy wre driven several miles, with heavy loss. We captured some ar- ullery. Allthe signs give hope of a new tides im our affairs. The same paper says thesick and wounded are being cared for with commendabieaitend- ance, not only in hospitals, but in private resi ences of the city. ‘be citizens have opened our bhouees to our brave defendere, and the la dies of Raleigh are taking the lead in rendering abose Bind attentions which are so necessary and acceptable. The first battle above alluded to occurred on the 16th. near the junction of Black with Sonth Fiver, on the Fayetteville and Geldsborough road, some fifteen miles below Bentonayiile, in the vicinity of which piace the battle of Sun- day occurred. Tne Confederate is in error in relation to the loss ofartiliery. Nothing was aband zed. and she enemy was fairly and severely beaten. The oficial report of the battle states tha: the ene- B jade the attack upon (General Hardee. Three deliberate and most desperate charges ‘were made, and each were repulsed withgreat slaughter; that our loss did not exceed three hundred, and that of the enemy, ascertained from estimates of prisoners, tween three thousand five hundred and four thousand. w {sy the loss of the enemy was on Sunday, s the twe main armies met, and Sherman net enly met with repulse, but was driven from the field, can only be conjectured. Suffi- sient is known, however, to confirm the belief that the end of Sherman's bloodless march has come. .

Our troops are now all said to bein the right pisces and we look for an early and decisiva iow. T The Raleigh Progre: affair turns out to have been of much more magnitude and importance than was at first supposed. The editor conversed with several wounded and other soldiers engaged in the fight, and they all agree that it was adesperate Most of them think our entire loss was thousand, while they say that of the enemy must have been four or five thousand. Another account, said to be official, is that our loss was 350, while the Yankee less was bet ween 3,060 and 4,000. The Progress gives the following account of te battis without vouching for the absolute truth of the statement: « It seems that the fight commenced about moon on Wednesday, the 15th instant, and con- tinued briskly until night. Considerable skir- mishing was carried on all night, and on ‘Thursday morning the battle commenced fu- riowsly, and raged the whole day. (en. Har- dee, with about half a corps, was intrenched Detween Black creek and Cape Fear river, at Bo great distance from the confinence of these two streams, but at a point higher up than tbat at which the enemy crossed the former atream. Here he was attacked by two corps of Sher- Man's veterans. and our works were charged three several times, and each charge was re- pulsed with immense sianghter. ‘e do not understand the position of Gen. Bragg, but we are informed that his troops were driven back, whieh made it necessary for Hardee to fall back to prevent being flanked.

St htke the Richmond Whig, March =) e recelvyed no exchanges this morning from points south of Danville. The foliowing par- agraph from the Danville Register of yester- day, relative to the victory at Bentonville, was written before the reception there of theofficial telegram, and is the only newspaper statement of the affair which has reached us. We learn, as the Register states, that the bat- tle commenced at 3 p.m. Thehour,5p.m, was incorrectly transcribed from Gen. Lee’s dispatch. e learned from undoubted authority, late yesterday evening, that a battle took place on the 19th in North Uarolina, between the forces under General Hardee and a column of the enemy, which resulted ina signal victory to our arms. From the information in our possession we Jeeate the battle near the Neuse river, and not far from the dividing line of Johnson and Wayne counties, some 40 or 5) miles below Raleigh. General Hardee attacked the enemy at three o'clock, and drove them a mile and a half, cap- turing some guns and carrying two lines of in- trenchments. Under him were his own com- mand and portion of the army of the Ten- eeee. m Fert McAllister, Ge bia South Carolinian March i7. We learn that about three weeks ago atonal Clinch. of the 4th Georgia cavairy, anda party of his men dashed into Fort McAllister at Genesis Point, and captured the working force of negroes engaged in dismantling the work. About 40 were brought away, together witha number of horses. It will be remembered that this was the first point struck by Sherman on Teaching the coast, and that it gave hima com. manding base for subsequent operations. The fleet opening fire on Colonel Clinch and his arty prevented the work from being held, had it been designed to do so it uth—The Fate Depending on the Rebel Commissaries.

It is true these are generally helpless peop!e and to use harshness towards ee ante natural): agnant to a generous © like the Uuisos of Richmond. But Richmond has never before seen days like oh and pos- sibly worse are tocome. The tate of the city, nay, of the whole country, is fast becoming a mere question of commissariat. The public cbarities of Richmond cannot new feed the de- serted tamilies of traitors, without defrauding our faithtwl defenders and their children. Some method must absolutely be devised for sending these five or six thousand consumers where the men live who are bound to provide | for them. Richmend Hotels Clesing Up. The Richmond Examiner of the 2ith says that the hotels of Richmond, from six or seven, &re now reduced totwo, the Spotswood and American. The scantiness of the markets, and the high prices of provisions, have necessi- tated the closing of all save the two hotels named, whose proprietors are struggling against the adverse circumstances of the times to keep their houses open. Despondency Among the Southern Feeple. [From the Fayetteville Observer.) ‘Phere are certain localities in North Usro- Iina, and doubtless in all the States, where every evil infiuence is brought to bear upon our noble soldiers, and to which are evidently owing, mainly, many of the desertions that weaken our cause aud disgrace the deserters and their families. An officer, now at home on account of a seyere wound received in battle. was speaking of this a few days ago. and told in our office that the best and moat cheerfal soldiers returned gloomy and disconselate to camp after fnriough He said that in remon- strating with one of his men, an acquaintance from his own county, he had succeeded in dis- pelling his gloom, when the man apologised vor it, remarking that the fact is, that if Jeff. Davie were to go to the settlement and stay three weeks I am sure he too would desert. {Frem Richmond Examiner of the 24th.} On the lines before Richmond and Peters- burg there is unbroken quiet. Our troops have, within the past few days, been addressed by vsrious eminent epeakers; though the poli- ticians have more need to be encouraged by the army, than the army by the politicians. There is an impression that Grant is send- ing, or preparing to send, a portion of nis troops to North Carolina, to help Sherman out of his troubles. The latter gentleman is de- cidedly brought toa stand. Those «wonder- fal marches” of his, in which the Yankees so much exuilt, seem to beover for the present; and instead of burning towns and robbing poor helplees nuns, he finds armed men in his tront. The Petersburg Express is disposed to be- Neve the statement that Grant is sending off some of his men te North Usrolina. We bave still no intelligence of any renewal of the fighting at Bentonville, where Sherman, atlatest accounts, was entrenching himself. The English mi: Fressen the Capture of Wil- and Sherman's March. The English Journals received by the Aus- tralasian contain long disquisitions upon the probable effect ofthe fall of Wilmington. The papers in sympatdy with the rebels reflect the dismay of the blockade-running interest in England, and acknowledge the fal! importance of the event. “The capture of Wilmington,” says the Timer, ‘is not only important in itself, ae putting an end to the foreign supplies on which the Confederacy relied, but it is likely to be attended with considerable advantage to the federals.” Sherman is ther praised unatintedly as ‘a successful commander,” and the Times preceeds thus : “His movements are for the time enveloped in secrecy, as the Richmond papers are forbid- den to publish anything relative to the two aermies; but it ean scarcely be doubted that he was meditating a march into North Usrolina, in order to cut General Lee’s communications with the South, if he did not propose to cross the State entirely, and join Genera! Grant in the final attack on the Confederate capital. This dietance would not be greater than he has marched already through the enemy's country since he made his first movement towards A t- Janta. The chances of the North Carolinians being able to resist him successfully are but small. It becomes more evident with each succeeding operations that the Confederates, though still energetic in their rseistance, are exbausted of the first necessary of war—a supply of men. The main army of General Lee, though terribly outnumbered, has been hitherto maintained in discipline and courage by the genius of its commander. The men have been among the best of their Tespective states, who eagerly sought the opportunity of fighting under s popular chief in defence of the principal city of the Confederacy, The re- peated victories which they have gained over the invading armies of the North have given them @ confidence which even in this hour of general depression may enable them to gain further advantages. But the spirit which ani- Mates (them, the discipline which strengthens them, the genius which guides them, are not to be found in the other armies of the South. The Geergians and Carolinians are, in com- parison with the veterans of Lee, a mere mili- tia; they have never received the care which has been bestowed on the army which defends Richmond,and they are probably very deficient in supplies. Everything indieates that Gene- ral Beauregard, or whoever ts in command of tne army in Sonth Oarolina, will be nnable to cffer a successful resistance to the march of Sherman.” The London Herald, which is simply malig- nant without ability to take a broad view of affairs, watle grievously. But it confesses something : “There has been enough to humiliate the proud and dishearten the weak and selfish. Since Gyant established himself in front of Richmond the tide of the war has set strongly against the Confederacy. The Bone has not won a pitched battle; and, though tie besiegers of Richmond have sustained several severe repulses, these have been more than counter- balanced by the achievements of Sherman. Of her principal cities the South retains none but Galveston, Mobile and Richmond. One of there is in imminent peril; Richmond requires the exertions of the Principal army of the Con- federacy for its defense, and Galveston is too {ar removed from the field of warlike opera- tions to be of much use to the country. The evacuation of Charleston is a bitter sorrow; tor the pride and affection of the South cen- tered there even more than in Richmond. *~ = * «Recent events seem to prove that the Confederacy can raise no fresh army of white men; and that if she would bring the war to a speedy and succeessfal close, she must resort to her vast reserves of blacks. Racent declarations from the North show that eub- mission involves emancipation; and a northern occupation, unaccompanied by submission, involves it more yet certainly ” The London Daily News says that‘ the an- nouncementof the fallof Wilmington would have made a great impression a month or ten days ago, but coming after the evacuation of Columbia and Charleston, it is regarded as ttle more than an incident of the general couspes of the Confederacy which those events eno! —_—_______. Financial. [From the Sunday Herald.) As we intimated would be the cace,a& large amount of gold has beer withdrawn from the market, and itis now so scarce on the street that deliveries have been made very irregular- ly to-day, and to borrow itis impossible. The same is the case with leading national and railway stocks, and in several instances gov- ernments sold “short,” and all not duly de- livered have been bronght in at the regular nar, under the rule, on account of the sel- ers. The money market is less unsettled, and call loans are made at 7 per cent. on 20 to 25 per cent. margins Commercial paper continues in disfavor, and there is very little ef it offer- ing.

Those who think that the decline in ‘old from 2344, in Jannary last, to 147 eB- rda&y—a lower point than it has touch ce January, le3—was the resultof natural causes are mistaken. It was as much the result of jon as the rise to 285 in July, 1864; and 0 profited by it made as much capital r military successes as they formerly did eut of our militrry reverses and gold bill le jon. With the capture of the southern sesports and the victorieus march of Sherman there was undonbted reason for a considerable decline in gold; but bad it not been that ail who were before interested in putting itup sad- denly turned and operated in the opposite di- rection, the decline would not Bave been Dearly se heavy. and the country acd the Goy- ernment would have been spared the evil con- fequences of asudden and excessive contrac- tion of market values.

Movements ef Unien Forces—The C: feld and Terry In Ho Communication Bartimmors, March 26.—The fellowing was received :his morning from Fortress Monroe: ‘The following advices, from Newbern, North Carolina, have just reached nere, via the Albe- marie Canal: General Schofield’s forces, which moved out trom Kinston triumphantly entered Goldsboro’ on Tuesday evening, March 2ist, meeting with very little resistance. They captured a large amount of property, ineluding forty railroad care, two locomotiv: te. A portion ef Shermsn’s force, which moved from Fayetteville, met the enemy on the same day (Tuesday) at Mount Olive, when quite an engagement ensued. The enemy being overpowered and fianked, retreated in confusion toward Raleigh, while Sherman entered Smithfield, half way between Goldsboro’ and Raleigh Generals Sherman, Schofield and Terry are In hourly communication with each other, and are preeeee the enemy closely The prisoners taken admit that they are ‘ally to resist this combination, and that Raleigh must certainly fall. Sher- man's wagon trains have arrived at Kinston, and the railroads and bridges will be repaired go that cars willron through to Goldsboro’ and Raleigh in a few days. The utmost enthusiasm prevails in our srmy, and the troops are sweeping all before them im the shape of an enemy. General Terry’s force aiso captured a num- ber ofcars at Fayson's Depot, near Goldsboro’. Many prisoners have been captured and a deserters are coming in. From Newbern, N. C, Newsere, N.C., March 21.—Since the ad- vance of General Schofield’s army trom Kin- ston, yesterday. we have no &dditional news ofimportance. Parties from the front say that cannunading was distinctly henrd all day on Sunday, at Kinston, which indicated anen- gagement at Goldsboro’ between General Sher- manand the enemy. This is not credited at head-quarters, where we are informed Gene- a Sherman coald not have reached at that me. ‘The report received at headquarters that a brigade of the enemy, with their artillery, were on that day endeavoring to cattheir way through toonr lines, and deliver themselves up, may be true, and this cannonading may be the conflict going on among themselves. Although unable to procure any information at headquarters as to where General Sherraan is, for obv:ous reasons, still it is announced that he is all right, and that quantities of eup- plies have gone forward to him. A Rebel officer says that General Sher man is executing at once two bold movements, each of which will bring forth results of great im- portance, if he is successful, of which, he says, there is not much dombt. A popniation of over 200,000 depend on this city for their daily supplies, all of whomin a sbort time must be fed by the Government if this port is not immediately opened which will seriously embarrass the movements of our ar- mies. he 30,000 refugees whom General Sherman has sent to Wilmington, and the great numbers arriving from ali qaarters, make it a military necessity to reopen at once both Wilmington and Newbern as ports of en- try.
