THE WAR.
NORTH CAROLINA.
Our last week's accounts closed with the
statement that the " Bragg" report of a victory
over General Schofield at Kinston, had been
whittled away into a decisive repulse by the
latter. Later advicas have more than con
firmed this. After long and obstinate fighting,
the rebels were severely beaten, -and were fain,
by a retreat, to place the Neuse River between
themselves and our forces. The heaviest fight
ing was on the 12th inst. On the afternoon of
that day General Couch, with reinforcements
from Wilmington, reached General Schofield,
swelling our force to such an amount, as soon
negotiated a peace. Kinston was then given
up to us without further struggle, the Mayor
making the surrender.
SHERMAN.
Of really authentic information from this
commander, we have the following despatch
from. Lieutenant-General Grant to the War De
partment, dated at City Point, March 16 :—"
am just in receipt of a letter from General Sher
man, of the 12th, from Fayetteville. He de
cribes his army as in fine health and spirits,
having met with no serious opposition. Hardee
i
keeps in :his front at a respectful distance. At
Columbia he destroyed immense arsenals and
railroad establishments, and forty-three cannon.
At Cheraw he found much machinery and war
material, including twenty-fide cannon and
thirty-six hundred barrels of powder. l In Fay
etteville he found twenty pieces of artillery,
and much other material. He says nothing
about Kilpatrick's defeat by Hampton, but the
officer who brought his letter says that, before
daylight on the 10th, Hampton got two brigades
in the rear of Kilpatrick's headquarters, and
surprised and captured all the staff but two offi
cers. Kilpatrick escaped, formed his men, and
drove the enemy with great loss, recapturing
about all that he had lost. Hampton lost
eighty-six left dead on the field."
Among accounts, not official, but tolerably
direct, is one from Newbern ' March 13, which
states that officers just from the front say that,
on the evening of the 11th an order was read to
the troops from General Cox commanding,
stating that they would be joined by General
Sherman'.s army in three days. It was also
understood that, one wing of his army was
marching , on Fayetteville, one on Goldsboro,
and another on Raleigh. A later report, which
has not yet risen above the grade of rumor,
makes him in possession of Goldsboro.
FAYETTEVILLE CAPTURED AND SHERMAN
THERE.—The information is ofcial. , General
Howard telegraphed from there to Gen. Terry,
March 10 : To clay we have- added Fayette
villa to the list of the cities that have fallen into
our hands. Hardee, who is said to have 20,000
men, withdrew across the river yesterday and
last night. -He is reported to be en route for
Raleigh. General Sherman is here and well.
Many men are wanting shoes and clothing, yet
the army never was in better condition. The
Balel:gh, Standard, of the 14th, says Kin
ston is now in the possession of the enemy,
and Goldsboro is seriously threatened."
THE SOUTHWEST.
Information received from Meridian, Missis
sippi, states that the rebel Forrest was at Ma
con last month, in command of 15,000 men.
Great activity prevails in that department, and
Forrest was rapidly adding to and organizing
his force.
" Sue Mundy" is hung—a murderous rascal
who commenced his guerilla career in woman's
attire, and gave himself out to be a real woman,
or more properly a she•devil, which last, bating
the_ she part, proved true enough. His proper
name was Jerome Clark. He became a terribly
dreaded guerilla leader, was captured a short
time since in - Kentucky, tried and sentenced in
Louisville on the 14th instant by -.a Military
Commission, and hung on the 15th. It was
short work, but exemplary. The deifo; pot
tering with guerilla warfare is over.
TILE REBELS
MESSAGE OF JEFF DAVIS.—The rebel
siontsent in a message to his Congreas onthe-,
13th instant ; criniinating, imploring, aud..con-
fessiiig distressing apprehension. He says I
"Recent military operations of the enemy
Mete been successful in the capture of some of,
our seaports, in interrupting some, of our lines
of communication, and in devastating large
districts of our country. These events hive
had the natural effect of encouraging our foes,
and dispiriting many of our people. The capi
ta/ of the Confederate States is now threatened,
and is in greater danger than it has heretofore
been during the war. The fact is stated without
reserve or concealment, as due to the people, 1
whose servants we are, and in whose courage
and constancy entire trust is reposed; as due
to you in whose wisdom and resolute spirit the
people have confided, for the adoption of the
measures required to guard them from threat
ened perils. •
"The measures," he adds, "now requi.red
to be successful should be prompt. Long
liberation and protracted debate over impor
tant measures are not only natural, but bifida
ble in represeutative assemplies under ordinary
circumstances; but in moments of danger, ayhen
action becomes urgent, the delay thus caused
is itself a new source of peril. Thus it haS un
fortunately happened that some of the measures
passed by you in persuanee of the recommen
dations contained in my message of November
last have been so retarded as to lose much of
their value, or have, for the same reason, been
abandoned after being matured, because no
longer applicable to our altered condition ; and
others have been brought under examination.",
He recommends the adoption of • laws secu
ring [by impressment, we suppose] all the gold
in the Confederacy for the purchase of-supplies
for thearmy, authorizing the impressment of
supplies without payment at the time of im
pressment, and fixing, their valuation for.future
payment "only at: coin value,- suspending hie
writ of habeas corpus, and organizing and arm
ing a militia. The message also says :
" The measures passed by Congress during
the session for tecruiting the army and supply
ing the additional force needed for the public
defence have been, in my judgment, insufficient,
and I am impelled, by a profound conviction
of duty,,and stiniulated by a sense of the perils
which surround our country, to urge upon you
additional legislatien on this subject.. the bill
for employing negroes as soldiers has not yet
reached me, though the printed journals of
your _liroCeedings inform me of its passage.,
'truck benefit is anticipated from this measure,
though far less than would have resulted from
its adoption at an •earlier,,flate, so as to afford
time for their organization and instruction du
the winter months."
After reviewing the failure of the late effort
toward negotiation, it is added :--
" It thus appears that neither with the Con
federate authorities, nor the authorities of any.
State, nor through the commanding generals,
Will the Government of the United states treat
or make any terms of agreement whatever for
the cessation of hostilities. There remains,
then, for us no choice but to continue this con
test to a final issue; for the people of the Con
federacy can. be but little known to him who
supposes it possible they would ever consent to
purchase, at the cost of degradation and sla
very, R ermission to live in a countrygarrisoned
by their own ziegliies,.and governeel by officers
sent by the conquerer to rule over them."
THE CITY.
DECREASE or Ca - um—ln the Court of Quar
ter Sessions, the Grand Jury. came in on Fri
day last, after a session of twenty-five days,
with their final presentment, in which they state
that the bills before them have been unusually
few, and a majority ofthem for trivial offences.
Judge Ludlow, in response, thanked the Grand
Jury for their attention to their duties, referred
to the limited business of tho term,, saying that
there had been less buainess thaw at any term
since he had been upon the bench, and he be
lieved for twenty years, and alluded to the fact'
as a gratifying evidence of the diminution of
crime in our midst.

SPEECH FROM THE PRESIDENT
On the occasion of the public presentation,
in Washington, March 17, of a rebel flag cap
tured at Fort Anderson by an Indiana regiment,
to Gov. Morton, of Indiana,_ the latter. called
upon President Lincoln, who was present, for
some remarks. The President responded as
follows :
Fellow-citizens : It will be but few words that
I shall undertake. to say.. 'I was born in Ken
tucky raised - in Indiana, and' live in Illinois,
[laughter],• and I. am now.: sliere,:where it is my
duty to be, to care equally for the good people
of all the States. lam glad to.see an Indiana
regiment, on this day, able to present this cap
tured flag to the Governor of the State of Indi
ana. [Applause.] I am. not disposed, in
saying this, to made a distinction between
States, for all have done equally well. [Ap
plause.]
There are 'but few views or aspects of this
great war upon which I have not said or written
something whereby my own views might be
made known. There is one—the recent attempt
of our "erring brethren," as they are some
times called [laughter], to employ the negro to
fight for them. I have neither written nor made
a speech upon that subject, because 'that was
their business, and not mine ; and if they had a
wish upon the subject, I had not thepower to
introduce it or make it effective. The great
question with them was, Whether the negro,
being put into the army, will fight for them ?
do not know, and therefore cannot decide.
[Laughter.] They ought to know better than
we, and do know. I have in my lifetime heard
many arguments why the negro ought to be a
slave, but if they fight for those who would keep
them in slavery, it will be a better argument
than any I have yet heard. [Laughter and ap
plause.]. He who will fight for that, ought to be
a slave. [Applause.]
They have concluded, at last, to.take one out
of four of the slaves and put him - in the
army, and that One out of four who will , fight to
keep the others in slavery ought to be a slave
himself; unless he is killed in . a :fight. .[Ap
plause.].
While I have often said that 'all men ought to
be free, yet I would allow those colored persons
to be slaves'who want to be, and next to them,
those white men who argue in favor of making
other people slaves. [Applause:]
I am in favor of giving an opportunity to such
white men to try it on for themselves. [Ap
plause.] I will say one thing with regard to
the negro being employed to fight for them that
Ido know. I know that he cannot fight. and
stay at home and make bread too [laughter and
applause] ; and as one is about as important as
the other to them', I don't care which tliey do.
[Renewed applause.] lam rather in fhvor of
having them try them as soldiers. [A.pflause.]
They lack one vote of doing that ! and. wish I
could send my vote over the wires, so that I
might cast it in favor of allowing them the negro
to fight. [Applause.] But they cannot fight
and work both. We must now see the bottom
of the enemy's resources.
They will stand out as long as they can, and,
if the negro will fight for them, they must allow
hina to fight. They have' drawn upon their last
branch of resources—[applause]---and we can
now see the bottom. [Applause.] Ism glad to
see the-end so near at hand: .['Applause:]
I have said now more than I intended to, and
will, therefore, bid you go&l-laye.

Liverpool advises are to the 2d instant.
The telegraph to India is opened, and messages
have
passed from Calcutta to London irkBi
hours. The rate of discount at 'the Bauk of
England has been- reduced from 5; to 4i per
cent. In Italy, the Pope's bull 'is bellowing
with about as much effect as on the western side
of the continent: The Cardinal Vicar at Rome
has issued a notification relative to the jubilee.
He reverts to the object of the Popes encyclical
letter, andparticularizes as especially deplora
ble the errors of liberty of conscience and
religious worship being recognized as legal
rights. He cannot recognize as just the right
of all to propagate through the, press erroneous
principles ; nor can he recognize that the will
of the people is the supreme law. ,
News of the fall of Charleiton had just been
received. The immediate effect was the ad
vance of two per cent. in United States bonds,
and a decline of four per cent. in, the Confeder
ate loan. The Lobdon Times says the influence
of the success at Charleston can hardly be ex
aggerated. The moral effects cannot but be
most powerful on the conduct of the war. It is
seen that the population of. the Southeastern
States is not able to oppose the march- of the
Federal armies. The advance from Savannah
to Charleston seems to have .been as easy as the
march from Atlanta'to Savannah. The com
ments of the Army and Navy Gazette are also
worth repeating. It says: -``The evacuation
of Charleston and Columbia, and the concentra
tion of garrisons, will strengthen the hands of
Beauregard, Hardee, and Hill.
inßut the Con
federates are placed a position of exceeding
danger, from which it will require greater
genius than ever Lee and Davis have as yet ex
hibited to extricate them. • The purpose of
Grant becomes more obvious as the campaign
proceeds. He holds Lee fast, and thus paral
yzes the strongest , arm, and neutralizes the
greatest force of the Confederacy." ,
Goon FEELING IN CA,N.Ana.—The Canadian
Parliament, on the 14th inst., voted a million
dollars for the permanent defence of the
country'; also, $350,000 for the expenses of vol
unteers on the frontier. The Minister of
Finance', in a speech, said: "The Canadian
Government are of the opinion that, so long as
the American war lasts, we must have a force,
on our frontiers, in the shape• of police and mil
itia, to support the civil authorities and fulfil the
obligations we are under to act the part of good
neighbors towards the United States."
rEICES OF LIVING IN MONTREAL.—Tantali
zing as it may be to those who are obliged to
make regular visits to our markets, it is worth
the while, as a curiosity, to take a peep atthings
of this kind across the St. Lawrence. The fol
lowing are some of the quotations of the mar
kets at Montreal, as found in The Witness of
the Bth instant :-Flour, per bbl., Sup. Extra,
$5 00 to $5 25 ; Extra, $4 80 to $4 90 ; Fine,

NORWEGIAN EMIGRATION.—With the arrival
of every train upon the Michigan Central Rail
road, long files of Norwegian emigrants who
have come via Liverpool and Quebec, come
pouring up Dearborn street, gazing curiously
and hopefully about in their new Land of Pro
mise. More than 2500 have arrived by that
route within the last two weeks, and passage
has been engaged for 12,000 this season. There
are many gray-haired men as well as young
children, among them, and all are attired
neatly, especially the women, with their snow
white 'kerchiefs about their heads. They are

Rebel papers, of which there are now very few
in existence, admit that Goldsboro' must fall,
and assert that a stand will be made near

I have known Hoofland's German Hitters favorabl:
for a number of years. I have used them in my own
family, and have been so pleased with their effect
that I was induced to recommend them to many others
and know that they 'have operated in a strikingll
beneficial manner. I take great pleasure in thus pub
licly proclaiming this fact, and calling the attention
of those afflicted with the diseases for which they are
recommended to these Bitters, knowing from experi
ence that my recommendation will be sustained. Ido
this more cheerfully as Ilootland's Bitters is intended
to benefit the afflicted, and is "not a rum drink."
Yours . LEVI G. BECK.

Although not disposed to favor orrecommend Patent
Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingre
diebta arid effects, I' yet know of no sufficient reasons
why a man may.not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple preparations
iiithe hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit
of others.
. .
I do this more readily in regard to Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters, prepared by Dr_ C. M. Jackson, of this
city, because I was prejudiced against them for many
years, under the impression that they were chiefly an
alcoholic'mixture. lam indebted tomy friend, Robt.
Shdemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by
proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning
of the present year, was followed by evident relief',
and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor
which I had not felt for six mouths before, and had
almost despaired of retaining. I therefore thank
God and my friend for directing me to the use of them.

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y.
Dr. C. M. Jackson:—Dear Sir—l feel it a pleasure
thus of my own accord to bear testimony to the excel
lence of the German Bitters. Some years since, being
much afflicted with Dyspepsia, I used them with very
beneficial results. I have often recommended them
to persons enfeebled by thit tormenting disease, and
have heard from them the most flattering testimonials
as to their great value. In cases of g•eneral debility I
believe it to be a tonic that cannot be surpassed.

From Rev. J. S. Herman, of the German Reformed
Church, Kutztown, Berk& County. Pa.
Dr. C. M. Jackson:—Respected Sir—l have been
troubled with Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and
have never used any medicine that did me as much
good as Gooliand's German Bitters. lam very much
improved after having taken five bottlmr.
Yours, with respect, J. S. HERMAN.
