LEE'S OFFICIAL BEPOHT OF
THE BATTLE OF THE 23T11.
Congratulatory Order 01 Ctu. Meade.
By despatches Irorn New York to the
30th, we have further details of the news
published in this morning's Hkralp:
f*rmAL DESPATCH TO TIIK SAVANNAH DAIi.V HERALD.)
New York, March 30, 18<>. r >.
On the 2 r >th inst., the Rebels iu front of
Peterslmigh sallied out at an early hour in
the morning and made a heavy attack upon
Fort Steadman. The following is the Con
federate account of the affair:
rut BATTLE AT FORT STEADMAN —GEKERAL LEE'S
OFFICIAL REPORT.
March 25—ll:10r. M.
At daylight this morning Geueral Gordon
assaulted aud carried the enemy's works at
hill, capturing nine pieces of artillery, eight
mortars, aud between live and six hundred
prisoners—among them one brigadier-gen
era!, and a number of officers of lower
grades.
The linos were swept for a distance of
four or live hundred yards to the right and
left, and two efforts were made to recover
the captured works, which were handsomely
repulsed ; but it was found that the inclosed
works in the rear, commanding the enemy’s
main line, could only be taken at a terrible
sacrifice of life, and the troops were with
drawn to their original position.
It being impractical to take off the cap
tured guns,owing to the nature of the ground,
they were disabled and left.
Our loss is reported as not heavy. Among
the wounded is Brigadier Geueral Terry and
Brigadier-General tit. George Cooke.
All the troops engaged, including two
brigades under Geueral Pauseur, behaved
most handsomely. The conduct ol the
sharpshooters of Gordon’s corps, who led
the assault, deserve the highest commenda
tion.
This afternoon there was skirmishing on
the right between the picket Hues, with varied
success. At dark the enemy held a consider
able portion of the line farthest in advance of
our main works.
li. E. Lee, General.
The Richmond Whig ol the 27th lust.,
speaking of this fight says ;
The assault upon the enemy’s works near
the Appomattox, Saturday morning, may be
considered the commencement of the spring
campaign in Virginia. Any relapse into the
inactivity heretofore pievailitigis improbable,
as the important movements and combina
tions progressing in North Carolina will im
pel bdth'Gcueral Lee and General Grant to
execute co-operative movements, aud under
take strategic enterprises, which will neces
snrily bring on active and continuous hostili
ties between the armies in Virginia. The
affair of Saturday morning was doubtless in
tended by Geueral Lee as a recounoissance
ot the euemy s position, and, possibly, as a
notice to Grant that he could not send” rein
forcements toSheiman without endangering
his own lines.
Washington, Wednesday, March 29, V>.
A correspondent at Gen. Sherman’s head
quarters sends the following under date.
Goldsborough, March 25 :
THE REBELS AT WELDON.
Information from Weldon shows that the
Rebels have but a few hundred soldiers there.
Most of the guns in the works have been re
moved.
FORAGING.
Their cars are busy above us gathering pro
visions from the eouutry and sending them to
Richmond. Yesterday” a train came within
twenty miles of Goldsborough.
CAVALRY.
The enemy has some twelve thousand cav
alry in our front, under Wheeler and Hamp
ton. Yesterday they hanged three of oar
foragers within two miles of our outposts.
AN ENGAGEMENT.
Kilpatrick engaged part of his force yes
terday evening. ’1 he tiring was very heavy
for two hours. Reports of the fight‘have not
yet come in.
CONTRABANDS.
The town and vicinity is crowded with ne
groes of all ages. Much suffering prevails
among them. Col. Boyd, Chief Quarter
master ot the rwenty.-third Corps in the I
field, is perfecting a plan by which the wo- '
men and cbildten are sent' to Newborn, and
rations issued to them regularly, while the
cost is charged to the able-bodied men, who
are all retained and employed at fifteen dol
lars ft month. In this way all who have
families can support them.
DKBEUTEU9. ‘
Col. Haves, Provost Marshal of the Twen
ty-third Chips, is receiving about 40 desert
ers per day.
DESPONDENCY.
Large rebel mails captured, show the ut
most despondency throughout the South.
FIRST TRAIN.
The first train from Kinston arrived this
morning. Everything is quiet here, and will
probably remain so for a number of days.
RATIONS.
Col. treat, duel Commissaty, Twenty
third Corps, yesterday furnished" Sherman's
army 40u,00n rations for a single train at
Kinston.
LOSSES.
Reports from the Medical Department
show that our losses in the fighting last week
have been over-estimated.. Fifteen hundred
will almost cover the whole.
CONGRATULATORY ORDER OF GEN. .MEADE.
Hdq’rs Army Potomac, March 27.
The. General Commanding has issued tiie
following Order in which the merits of the
action of tiie 85th are fairly stated :
Hdq'bs Army Potomac, March 2tJ.
General Orders, No, 13. — TbeMaj. Gen.
Commanding announces to the Army the
success of the operations of yesterday.
The enemy, with a temerity for which he
has paid dearly, massed his forces, and suc
ceeded, through the reprehensible want of
vigilance of the Third Brigade, First Divis
! ion, Ninth Corps, in breaking through our
i lines, captuiing Fort Steadman, and Batter
ies 9, 10 and 11.
The prompt measures taken by Major Gen*
Parke, the firm bearing of the troops of the
Ninth Corps iu the adjacent portions of the
line held by the enemy, and the conspicuous
gallantry of the Third Division of this corps,
for the first time under fire, together with
the energy and skill displayed by Brigadier
General llartraupt, leader, quickly repaired
this disaster; and the enemy were driven
from Fort Steadman aud our lines, with
heavy 10.-ses in killed aud wounded, leaving
in our hands eight battle-flags and over 1,90*r
prisoners.
The enemy being driven from the front of
the Ninth Corps, the offensive was assumed
bv the Sixth and Second Corps; the enemy
by night was driven from his intrenched
picket line, and all his efforts to recover the
same, which were particularly determined
and persistent on the Second Corps' front,
were resisted and repulsed with heavy losses,
leaving the Sixth Corps over 400 prisoners,
and with the Second Corps two battle-flags
and over 300 prisoners.
The troops ol iho Sixth Coipa, reported
by Major-General Wright as engaged in tin se
operations, were (Jetty’s Division, Keifer's
Brigade of Seymour s Division, and Hamb
lin's aud Edward’s Brigades of Wheaton's
Division.
Os the Second Corps, Major-Gen. Hum
phrey's mentions Mile’s aud Mott’s Divis
ions, and Smythe’s Brigade of Hays’
Division, supported by Griflin’s Division,
Fifth Corps.
The result of the day was the thorough de
feat of the enemy's plans, the capture of his
strongly intrenched picket Hue under the ar
tillery file of hismain works, and the cap
ture of ten battle-flags and about 2,800 pris
oners—a result on which the Major Geueral
commanding heartily congratulates the
Army.
Two lessons can be learned from these
operations: One, that no fortified line,how
ever strong, will protect an army from an in
trepid aud audacious enemy, unless vigilant
ly guarded; the other, that no disaster or
misfortune is irreparable, where energy and
bravery are displayed in the determination to
recover what is lost aud to promptly assume
the offensive.
The Major General commanding trusts these
lessons will not be lost on this Army.
Iu conclusion, the Major-General Com
manding desires to return iiis thanks to those
commands of the Army not specially men
tioned in this order, for the promptitude dis
played by all, in their movements to differ
ent parts of tiio lines, under the exigencies
of the hour. In connection with this subject
the promptitude of Major Gen. Warren, and
of Brevet Major-Gen. Hunt, Chief of Artil
lery, in the early part of the operations, dur
ing the accidental absence of tne Major-Gqu
eral Commanding, deservo commendation
aud thanks.
Geo. C Meade, Major-Gen. Com.
GEN. SIIERMAN AT CITY POINT.
Washington, Wednesday, March 20.
Major General Sherman arrived at City
Point with some of tiio officers of his staff on
Monday evening, and left on his return to
his army on Tuesday, after an interview on
board the steamer River Queen with Presi
dent Lincoln and Gens. Grant, Meade, Old,
Sheridan aud others.
New York, 30th.
Fouuded on the meeting of Gens. Sher
man, Grant, Ord, and the President, are nu
merous rumors of peace, but it is generally
believed that peace will only come through
the bullet and bayonet.
Don. Simeon Draper has just arrived at
New York from Savannah.
Gen. Banks is expected to sail shortly for
New Orleans.
AMUSEMENTS.
Savannah Tiibatre. —The performance last
evening of “The Stranger" was a marked
success. An unusually good house was iu
attendance, whose close attention was held
to the end of this absorbing play. In the
production ot ‘‘Tho S; ranger” the company
has surpassed all its former efforts, and has
proved itself equal to the satisfactory render
ing of tho most trying pieces. Too much
praise cannot he awarded to Mr. Davenport
for the managerial ability which he displayed
in combining all the means at hand for the
very complete and satisfactory performance
of last evening. A single word in praise of
Mr. Davenport as the “Stranger,” would he
surperflous. His personation of this charac
ter is too familiar to many of our readers to
require any extended comments from us.
Miss La Fond in “Mrs. Haller,” displayed to
her many admirers anew phase of excellence,
j the quiet but impressive assumption of
i power. Indeed, every member of the com
pany seemed to make special exertions last
evening, and barring some few minor draw
backs, with great success. Another fine bill
is offered for to-night.
Mr. P. C. Havens Chief Operator in tho U.
P. Military Telegraph Department of the
South,has placed us under lasting obligations
for tiie care, faithfulness aud parience with
which be received our lengthy dispatches up
to a late hour last night."

The Richmond Papers on the late
Fighting in Worth Carolina.
Gseat Victories Claimed.
[From the Richmond Whig, Marrh 23.]
We received no exchanges this morning
from points South of Danville. The follow- !
ing paragraphs from the Danville Register of
of yesterday, relative to the victory at Stan
tonsville, was written before the reception
there of the official telegraph, and is the
only newspaper statement of the affair which
has reached its.
We learn, as the Register states, that the
battle commenced at 3p. m. The hour sp.
m. was incorrectly transcribed from General
Lee's despatch.
We learned on undoubted authority, late
yesterday evening, that the battle took place
on the 19th in North Carolina, between the
forces under General Hardee and a column
of the enemy, which resulted in a signal vic
tory to our arms. From the information in
our possession we locate the battle near the
Neuse river, and not far from the dividing
line ot Johnson and Wayne counties, some
forty or fifty miles below Raleigh. Geueral
Hardee attacked the enemy at three o’clock,
and drove them a mile ami” a half, capturing
some guns and carrying two lines of intreuch
ments. Under him were his own command
and a portion of the army of Tennessee.
[From the Richmond Sentinel March 23.)
General Johnston telegraphed a day or two
ago that in Hardee’s fight with Sherman, on
the 16th, the Confederate loss was lour hun
dred and fifty, and that of Sherman three
thousand five hundred The fight took
place at Averysboro, on the Cape Fear river,
on Thursday, the 10th inst. Averysboro
is about half way between Fayetteville aud
Raleigh.
Geueral Johnston’s defeat of the enemy
was three days later, at Bentonsville, near
the Neuse river, showing that Sherman’s re
pulse by Hardee had turned him from his
course.
BATTLE OF BENTONSVILLE.
[From the Richmond Enquirer March 23.]
The Raleigh papers of Tuesday have no
definite details of the recent fights between
Johnston and Sherman. The Confederate
.says ; We hope to be able in a day or two to
give our readers reliable and cheering intel
ligence. So far everything is encouraging.
General Johnston inspires enthusiasm, and
the army is in flue spirits aud each day in
creasing in numbers. In the affair which
occurred a few days since between Hardee’s
aud Sherman's forces, we repulsed success
fully five assaults upon our lines, and held
our position until the object was effected.
In drawing oft we lost two guns, because
the horses had been killed and the guns
could not be brought away. Our loss in the
affair was about four hundred killed and
wounded. The enemy’s about four thousand.
Sherman marches no more uninterruptedly.
Os the battle on Sunday the correspondents
state a very deckled advantage was gained by
our troops. The enemy were driven Several
miles, with heavy loss. We eaptqred some
ar.illery. All the signs give hope of anew
tide in our affairs.
The same paper says the sick and wounded
are being cared for with commendable atten
dance, not only iu hospitals, but in private
residcnocs of the city. Tiie citizens have
opened their houses to our brave defenders,
aud the ladies of Raleigh are taking the lead
in rendering those kind attentions which are
so necessary and acceptable.
'1 ho first battle above alluded to occurred
on the Kith, near the junction of Black with
South river, on the Fayetteville aud Golds
boro road] some fifteen miles below Bentons
villo, iu the vicinity of which place the battle
of Sunday oecutred.
The Confederate is in error in relation to
the loss of artillery. Nothing was abandoned,
and the enemy was fairly and severely beaten.
Tho official report of tiie battle states that the
enemy made the attack upon Gen. Hardee.
Three deliberate and most desperate charges
were made, and each was repulsed with
great slaughter ; that our loss did not exceed
three hundred, and that of the enemy, ascer
tained from estimates of prisoners, between
three thousand five hundred and lour thou
sand. What the loss of the enemy was on
Sunday, when the two main armies met, and
Sherman not only met with repulse, but Was
driven from the field, can only be conjectur
ed. Sufficient is known, however, to con
firm the belief that the end of Sherman’s
bloodless march has come.
[From the Richmond Sentinel, March 23.]
Raleigh papers of Tuesday, received yes-;
terday, all contain no reference to trie buttle
of Bentonsville. The Confederate hopes to i
tie able in a day or two to give its readers re
liable aud cheering .intelligence.' So far, it I
says, everything is encouraging. General
Johnston iuspires omhusiasm, and his army
is iu flno spirit Band each day increasing in
numbers.
[From tho Richmond SenMnel, Marrh 23.]
Goldsboro has beeu evacuated. At the last
accounts the enemy had not eutered.
Our troops are now all said to lie in the
right place, and we look tor an early and de
cisive blow.
SPIRIT OF TIIH PEOPLE.
[From the Richmond Sentinel. March 23.]
We are gratified to learn, from tiio Raleigh
Joftmal, that the people of our sister States
are responding nobly to tiie call of Governor
Vance for contributions for the support of
our armies. Meetings are being held iu all
portions of the State not within the Yankee
lines, and liberal donations made.
The Progress says North Carolina has done
her duty in sending men to the field, and she
will not be outdone hy any other State in
supporting the men iu the ” field. Her sol
diers are doing theft- duty, and her people are
doing theirs.
Ihe Confederate says In this county the
ball opened with a meeting of the citizens of
Raleigh and vicinity, and the donations at
Unit meeting attested the patriotism of tiie
people ot tins community. We are daily
receiving the accounts of smaller meetings
in various portions of the State all breathing
the same patriotic desire to Iced the soldier
and keep him from want. The donations
made at a meeting held in the Forestville
uistr.et lurnish a handsome proof of the lib
erality of that community. There appears
to have l e.n nineteen persons present, who
gave in the aggergate two thousand pounds
of bacon, twenty-four barrels of corn, fifteen
Ir H rn d v ol v OUr a “ ( \ fivc thousand dollars in

(From the Richmond Sentinel, March °3 )
Augusta papers of the 11th and 12tli inst
\fT'!L ye V day ’ , b ™Shtusa number of
!l? 19 ? f fr °m Columbia,
Charleston, &c., which we subjoin.
It was said some time since that tiie new
D.sttttOUsa at Columbia was Spared because
it contained a statue of which
could not be removed without destroying it.
A gentleman just from Columbia states that
this is untrue. The statue was badly defac
ed, and the reason why the State House was
not blown up was because Sherman could
not spare the powder. The State records of
South Carolina were removed to a place of
safety. The records of Beaufort, and other
districts, which had been removed to Colum
bia lor security, were, unfortunately destroy
ed. Nearly all the plate sent from Charles
ton aud Columbia for safe keeping, and much
of the valuable plate of the citizens of the
latter place, which was stored in the Colum
bia Bank vaults, all fell a prize to the ene
my. All of the assets of the various bank
iug institutions of Columbia were removed,
except a large amount of silverware that had
been placed in their vaults for safe keeping.
The effects of the State Bank were afterward
captured by the enemy.
We regret to learn that the entire printing
interest of the Charleston Mercury were des
trojed at the Charlotte Junction, during
Sherman s late march through the place.
Some Yankee officers wno escaped from
the jail in Columbia some time since, made
their appearahee in public when Siiermau
made liis appearance in that place. They
had been secreted in the city by Northern
sympathizers. The number of whites which
left Columbia with Sherman is about two
hundred, and the number of negroes twelve
hundred.
It is rumored that ex-Governor Aiken re
mained in Charleston, and has been made
Mayor ot the city by the Yankees. At
innsboto the Yankees stole ten boxes of
silverware, valued at twenty thousand dol
lars in peace times, from Governor Aiken.
We are reliably informed that the vacant
dwellings in Charleston are partitioned out
among the negroes."
During the progress of the Columbia fire
a large number ot women and children took
refuge in the City Park. With fiendish ma
lignity the Yankees hurled their hand-gre
nades, balls of turpentine, phosphorus, Ac.,
among them. The City Park, once conse
crated to fashion and beauty, was converted
into a slaughter pen. and its beautiful walks
are now strewn with offal.
One gentleman threw liis silverware into a
well. But the Yankees discovered the ruse,
bailed out the water and made themselves
rich. Mr. J. G. Gibbs purchased the valua
ble plate from a soldier tor twenty dollars in
gold, and restored it to the owner.
The Hebrew congregation of Charleston
sustained a heavy loss in the destruction of
they splendid organ, the five Books of
Moses and oilier valuables. It is a note
worthy fact that not an Israelite left with
the Yaukees.
WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS.
(From the Richmond Whig, March 23.)
The writer of a letter from the ruins of
Columbia to the Augusta Constitutionalist
says it was his good fortune to meet, soon
after arriving, this distinguished author, the
Nestor of our Southern literature, whose
name lias long been as familiar as household
words in all tne polite circles of the world.
Mr. Simms was in Columbia during the
scenes ot conflagration and pillage, amt mat*
yet find time to weave “into a historical nar
rative of his experience during those days of
suffering and horror. They certainly exceed
iu reality aught that, with his wizard pen, he
has ever conjured from the shadowy realms
ot imagination. The elegant country seat of
Mr. Simms, “Woodlawu, ” near Midway, was
burned, together with most of his valuable
library. Tiie country, however, is to be con
gratulated upon his having saved over one
hundred volumes of his mauu c ipt work*.
Few men have suffered more than ne by the
revolution. His stereotype plates, in the
hands of his publishers, confiscated; his
plantation ruled ; his stock driven off; his
house burned—but still be is erect, undis
mayed. and confident of the successful issue
of the cause. Maybe live to write the epic
of our struggle.
A paragraph in the Augusta Sentinel says
that when the Yankees Were at Midway Gen
erals Howell, Smith and Blair placed a heavy
guard over the resilience of Mr. Simms, and
preserved it from pillage. The day after they
left a negro applied # a torch to the dwelling
and burned it and its valuable contents to
the ground.
A SPECIMEN OF SOUTHERN UNANIMITY.
[From the Canton (Miss.) Citizen.]
Thu following is the resolution offered by
lion. Wm. Yerger, of Hinds county, which
elicited such a lively discussion:
Resolved, by tin; State of Mississippi,
That tiie laws proposed in the Congress of
the Confederate States to employ, lor the use
of the government, all the cotton and tobac
co belonging to the people, and to conscribe
aud arm slaves, and place them in them in
the army, with a promise of emancipation
upon condition of loyal service, are inexped
ient, impolitic aud unconstitutional; and if
passed, will tend to impair confidence in the
government, and establish a precedent dan
gerous to the rights and liberties of the peo
ple of these States.
another SPECIMEN OP THE SAME SORT.
The Telegraph yesterday announced that
Georgia is going to” operate against the gov
ernment in ai ming negroes. We guess tiie
negroes will go into the service regardless of
the Georgia legislators. This fight must lie
won, and the slaves must he used in it when
necessary.
