The Rebels Reported Falling Back to Hillsboro. Goldsboro Formally Occupied on the ‘© Toth Instant... River and Railroad Communication Open to Kinston. Particulars of the Occupation of Kinston, Rumored Death of the Rebel General Hoke. The Rebels Report Another Battle Be- tween Kilpatrick and Hampton, &., &e &. Oar Special Washington Despatch. Wastinatoy, March 22, 1865. A paymaster who arrived here to-day from Fayette- Ville reports that when he left the army had commenced fe movement. The column which the Raleigh papers Poport as moving towards Hillsboro, is really the left ‘wing of Sherman’s army, and it is moving towards the North Carolina Ratlroad, to destroy the railroad bridge ‘over the Neuse river, between Raleigh and Goldsboro. ‘Thousands of refugees are on their way to Wilmington. ‘The wharves at all the landings between Fayetteville and ‘Wilmington are piled with rosin, turpentine, cotton, &c., ‘and the value of property captured will amount to mil- ‘Mons of dollars. ‘The army was in exc@lient condition, and did not anti- @ipate any formidable opposition on the march from Fayetteville to Goldsboro. ; The news from: Shérman—semi-official—received here to-day, shows, as indicated in last night’s despatches, ‘that he has met with no serious resistance fo his march 6n or in the occupation of Goldsboro, and the junction of his forces with those of General Schofield. With those two armies united, all thoughts of successful resistance on the part of General Johnston are useless; and nothing ‘ow can prevent his closing in on Richmond and the de- ‘moralized forces of General Lee. ‘The most sanguine anticipations of an early termina- tion of the rebellion, either by the submission of General ‘Lee or the utter destruction of the armed forces of the Febellion, aro enteriaiped in official and well informed @ircles here, The Union armies are daily reinforced'by Yarge numbers of new recruits, while those of the rebel- Mon are rapidly undergoing disintegration, losing more men by desertion than they would from a heavy battle. fhe skies are constantly brightening, and soon will be Irradiated with the full splendor of final and complete triumph. Whe Occupation of Goldsboro Confirmed. Wasuinaton, March 22, 1865. The Republican (extra) says the government has re- @elved intelligence that on Sunday last General Sherman’s army entered Goldsboro, North Carolina. His march ‘Was unopposed. The two armies of Sherman and Schofield have formed @ jun:tion. The Republican further says:—Sherman’s present com- mand 's sufficiently formidable to confront Lee’s whole army in the open field without the assistance of Grant, and no force that the rebels may raise can impede Ser. man’s triumphant march northward. The story in the Richmond Sentinel, which we published yesterday, that four of Sherman’s divisions were repulsed near Fayette- ville, turns out to be a rebel lie, as we stated. The Rebels Said to Have Evacuated Raleigh. Newnery, N. ©., March 18, 1965.~ Large numbers of refugees came into our lines this afternoon. They say the enemy have evacuated bah Gcldtoro and Raleigh, and have fallen Lack to Hills ro, ‘with the view, they think, of joining Leo. They report that the enemy are much demoralized and panic stricken, and are improving every opportunity pre- pented to desert; that the rebel soldiers agree with the eitizens generally in the belief that there is no chance for the confederacy to succeed, and that they are fighting against hope; that rebel officers are giving their opinions openly to the same effect, and in many cases they abandon the fleld with their men, and that these desertions are in guch formidable bodies, and so open aad frequent, that the enemy are powerless to oppose this state of things, ‘which threatens to result ina general stampede of their eutire army, so 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 ‘will drive the enemy in confusion at every point. Such are the concu: rent reports brought in this afternoon and evening by these refugees, and they are gonerally Gredited here, ‘The enemy, after burning the ram, abandoned Kinston $m great haste, throwing all of their heavy guns in the Neuse river. They attempted to blow up their magazine, jwhich contained several tons of powder, but failed, It Bell into our hands, together with a large amount of ord- mance and commissary stores. Our forces now occupy Kinston, which was surrendered to them by the Mayor of the city A deverter who came in from the enemy the other day, pays the rebel General Hoke was killed in the battle of Briday week thig side of Kinston. It ts reported that Bragg had forty thousand men with him whon he attempted to destroy the column that moved from here. Bragg "nd Hoke gave their men the Most solemn asgurance that they would march trium- Phantly into Newbern last Sunday morning, and that each man should realize a fortune from the proceeds of the victory, and that Sherman would then be annihi- lated, and the confederacy established beyond a doubt. The loss of Friday's battle—which was an important one, and which decided the fate of Newbern—was the Srretrievable rain of the enemy's plans against Shor man, The mavner in which our men successfully re- pisted from behind their works the eight repeated Bsraults of the enemy—who nt that time greatly out ‘humbered us—not only astonished our own officers, but Blicited @ high tribute to thelr courage from General Bragg. This battle made it very apparent that Bragg's men could not be induced to make another stand, Supplies are now boing forwarded up the Neuse river to Schofeld's and Sherman's armies, Their armies will doubtless be united to-morrow or next day, Our Newborn Correspondence. Newnes, N. C., "March 17, 1865, SCHOFIRLD CROHSES THE NEUSE. Pvt very Witle change in the situation at the front has poourtcd since I jast wrote you.

Supplies for the army are being gathered by this new channel, and it ia ‘@ great assistance to the limited transportation by rall, Nothing further has been heard from Sherman up to this writing, Raleigh papers of the 8th and 10th inst, speak with the most glowing satisfaction of General Johnston having been assigned to the command of the Department of the South, and predict that he will lead them out of the wilderness into the land of promise.

Lieutenant Knox, signal officer, arrived from the front Jast night, and reports that the rebels were evacuating Goldsboro, and the inference is, either that Sherman is thundering at their gates, or else that he is not far off, and they bave no hopes of making any opposition to him. They evidently have an inferior force in that vicl- nity, and, in fact, it was stated in the North Carolina Legislature a few days since, that the entire armies of the confederacy numbered only one hundred and twenty- one thousand. Thave it from good authority that to-morrow is the day fixed for Sherman to reach the vicinity of Goldsboro; but it fs possible that he may have anticipated a day or two, the past two days having been very fine weather. T have it also from good authority, that General Schofield has given orders for supplies to be sent forward to him for Sherman. GENERAL SCHOFIELD'S ARMY IN THR VICINITY OF KINSTON ON mie 18TH. General Schofield’s army is still in the vicinity of Kinston, on the north bank of the Neuse, The railroad és laid up to Kinaton, and the troops will now reeume their advance, The smail side-wheel steamer Mystic sunk yesterday in tho Neuse river, between here and Kinston, by run- ning on @ snag, On account of her limited dimensions she was not of very value.

Succeeding the hard fight of Friday, the 10th, ou troops occupied their old position near Southwest creek, recuperating aud making their time useful by picking up and capturing many stragglers from the rebel army. Tuesday morning at eight o'clock the entire force was on the march, moving by the flank. Colone! 4. G Malloy’s brigade of General Carter’s divi- sion being in advance of the whole force, Colonel Malloy, with his command, moved within three-quarters of amile of the Neuse river, opposite Kinston, when, mecting the rebel skirmishers, he immediately deployed skirmishers, formed in line of battle and moved on the enemy, and join The army moves forward for ‘THR ENEMY WITEDRAWS ACROSS WHOSE RIVER. The rebel skirmishers retired across the Neuse river, and for half an hour their sharpshooters kept up aheavy fire upon our skirmishers, at the end of which me they fell back, OCCUPATION OF THE TOWN, The First battalion, Major Hammil, of Colonel Mal-! “Toy’s brigade, crossed the river and took possession of the town, Tho: Mayor. and. some influential citizens of Kinston came’ out and made” formal sur- render of the place, the enemy having evacuated. On the moraing of Wednesday, the 15th, the remainder of the forces crossed the river on pontoons, took position around the city, and immediately went to work fortifying- the place, STRENGTH OF THE GTY. On both sides of the river the enemy had some of the most formidable works that havo been seen anywhere during the war, being traversed so that it was absolutely impossible to do them damage from any quarter, On the Kinston side they abandoned two thirty-two Pounders and magazine containing two thousand rounds of fixed ammunition. Ten thirty-two pounders they threw into the river. DESTKUCTION OF THE RAM. ‘The ram Neuse’ was destroyed by fire and sunk. Her smokestack can be seen now still standing. She must have been a formidable craft. Her crew, exclusive of officers, numbering ninety, surrendered themselves as prisoners, On the ram were twenty-one hermetically sealed cans of powder, two hundred pounds each, and two sixty-eight pounders, rifled guns—all of which at present eluinber quietly in the bosom of the Neuse. The rebels had fixed a train of powder running from the magazine, two inches deep, four inches wide and two hundred yards long. At the entrance of the magazine percussion shells were placed on end, covered with about @ bushel of powder, which would have raised the whole concernto tHe heavens. Capt. Haskins, of the Thirteenth Towa, detached and cut off this train before anything could be done, as he, in company with two other officers, preceeded the troops in croraing the river, TORPEDOES. Tho rebels, before they left, set torpedoes all around the town—tbat is, near and on all the roads leading out of it, Last night one exploded, killing two cavalry horses. Efforts are being made to remove them. Most of the citizens remain, However, there are few mates. One box car was the only roljing stock captured, THE CITY OF KINSTON. Tho city ie pleasang and healthy in appearance, and the residences very neat and handsome, A ridge of hills forms a semi-circle running from the river on one side to the same on the other, thus completely surrounding the place with water and hills, ‘making it, of coutse, a strong position naturally, Both the railroad and wagon bridges were destroyed. A detail of one thousand men was made from the Twen- ty-third corps to assist in building the railroad. Trains will be running to this place in a few days. Sherman ts not far off, and will be heard from in a few days. x Coutrabands are coming !n by hundreds. Neserters: and Union men who have escaped from the enemy report that they have retreated beyond Goldsboro, evacuating the latter place and falling back to Raleigh. THE REBEL LOSé IN WOUNDED IN THE BATTLE OF KINETON. A telegraphic operator, who surrendered himself here, reports that the enemy transported from’ this place two thousand of their men who had been wounded during the fight aud skirmish in front of Kinston. All citizens and deserters say that Bragg confessed that he sulfered a terrible defeat at Wise’s Forks, on the 10th of March, CAPTURES. About one huudred prisoners were captured here. I have just ascertained that the railroad bridge at Kinston was burned about the time Newbern was taken, and has never sirce.been wholly rebuilt. It was burned, 80 re- ports say. by a man named Thompson, who 1s now said to be doing ‘usines in one of the towns in North Carolina held by our forves, Kinsrow, N. ©., March 18, 1865, SHERMAN AT GOLDSZORO.

Long, of th's city, who arrived at the Allegheny wharf yesterday about noon, from Oil City, baving made the trip with two others fm a "Venango county scow.”” ‘The river at Oil City, on Wednesday, was about ten feet deep in the channel. It commenced rising rapidly, and continued to do so until Friday at noon, when 1 had risen about twenty feet, making thirty feet of wat r. Oil City, from the Post Ofice down, was under water, in- el the inain street and all back of it. In fact nothing was left dry but the property on the hills. All the business offices, from Pennock, Ball & Co. p to the mouth of the crock, including Shisks’, Burg 8s & Co.'s, Fishers’ and others, were carried off by the immense cur- Tent that set in trom the reek. : Fr day night the creek raised five feet in one hour, and made a clean sweep of every moveable thing, includ- ing tanks by the hundred, barrels of oil, empty barrels, houses, derricks, bridges, &e:, &c.

Skits were sent after them, butsevera! of these were destroyed before all the parties ‘were rescued. ‘he loss of property on the creek, up the river and at Oil City, will amount, without a doubt, to $2,000,000, and this. figuro isanore likely to be under the amount than over it. The principal losers are as follows: —McWh inney & Marshall will lose 2,600 barrels of oil and several thou- sand empty barrels; Fisher & Bro., 1,000 barrels oil and 8,000 empty barrels; Wm. Haldermau, 1,000 barrels of o'l and 4,000 empty barrels; McKelvy, Millor & Co, 600 barrels of oi! and 4,000 empty barrels; Cochran & Bro., Gallagher & Danver, Robert Ashworth, J.

Their losses will run from ive hundred to one thousand barrels of oil, aud many hundreds of empty barrels each.

The material was the kame that was used in the scaffolding on which Nathan Marks, the guerilla, was hung some months ago, and was built precisely like the other. The platform or trap door was supported by a prop—a rope attached to the lower end. A rough wooden coflin was brought and placed under the scaffold a half an hour before the ARRIVAL OF SUE MUNDY. He was conveyed from the m litary preon in a carriage, accompanied: by his eplritual adviser, under a sirong geard, and arrived at the place of execution about a quarter to four o'clock, preceded by martial muse.

Hartsuff, of the United States Volunteers, having reported to Lieutenant General Grant, has been ordered to report to Major General EB. O. C, Ord, commanding this department and army. General Ord has assigned this gallant officer to the command of the Bermuda Hundred front, General Ferrero is accordingly relieved and ordered to report to General Hartsuff, The desertious from the rebel army still eontintle to be numerous. Anew arrangement as to pickets has been {nitiated, which involves the placing of an entire tegi- ment on picket, instead of details from the several regiments as heretofore. ‘The rebel comynanders affected to believe that this arrangement weuld operate to prevent desertion, Throughout y este the result showed thas this new’ device was wholly without effect. Deserters came in with their guns, and one would have stipposed that Colonel F.

Carr, among the oldest of the generals of his rank in the volunteer service. These defences consist of Fort Pocahontas, Fort Powhatan, and a few lesser works, The command consiste of three poste— namely, the two forts and Harrison's Landing, the site of the birthplace of the late President William Henry Harrivon, This command will in all fu- ture time continue to be an important one, and the forti- fied places will never be left without a garrison, even after the close of the war. It ts important now that we should hold these points sternly for the reason that the country all around fe filled with blatant rebels, and I was led to believe that an attack on the land front of Fort Powhatan is possible at apy moment. Indeed, fring was eard this morning in the vicinity, while the Com- manding General and his stall were passing up the James in the United Stats steamer Swan. Inquiry, however, developed the fact that no serious attack Was coutem- plated, GENERAL J. B CARR'S STAPP, The following is the staff of the Comimanding Gene- ral:—Captain J.
