A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald writes
at follows to that jiapor :
CnreTH, a C, Maj 12 Midnight.
After a railroad rido of two hundred and eigh
teen miles from lt:i!cij!i, via Greensboro, Salis
bury and Charlotte to this place, I reaohed here
two hours and a half sgir, just, in tim fn find
dispatch going oc. r the wires announcing the
capture of Jeff Davis and othori of the party
who were t svelin ith him .
AWJlTIOXAt. COHCKHNIJIti DAVaV fUOUT.
Those who have road the Herald will remem
ber that Davis issued a proclamation at Danville,
on hi arrival there That proclamation wan
written hi Benjamin, on a rough, dusty table, in
tho gloomy corupotdug room of a country printing
office The table on which it was penned iB now
used by Mr. Hatmdm t write hid correspondence
on to your paper .
Mrs Davis preceded her husband nntil he
crowed the North Carolina lino, when she re
joined him. ...
Just before la via reached Greensboro he waa
almost surrounded by a detaohmoit of Stoue
uian'i cavalry, who might easily have caught
him had they k newn who he Was. After leaving
D nville, Davis intended going immediately and
directly far Sooth. On arriving at Johnston'!
headquarters, and learning of th terms of the
convention between Sherman and Johnston, and
hoping that he would be allowed to leave the
country, be altered his miud, and remained at
Charlotte. It wa? frequently romarked that it
wa dangerous far him to do ho, but he invaria
bly replied that be had too many frionds, and
knew tbe country too well, to be caught by any
of tho foroos in the Yankee army.
Jeff. Davi ri'MiMined at Gfeeneuoro until twelve
o'clock n the duy that the . armistice expired. At
eleven o'clock on tlint day his horsa, a hundsooiu,
bio led bav, wna brought tatha door of tho jtrivte
boune in which he was stopping. At twelve, havintf
learned that the term" of the afore said convention'
wero rejAttO'l", he mounted hi horse, and accompauied
by unmerona friends and officials, rode off. At the
samtlnie two thousand cavalry, under Command of
Major Oeoeral Dibbrul, moved ofT with him, actiu
in the capacity of an escort.
That niht Dvia reiiched tho vicinity fif LeilnK

OFFICIAL REPORT OF MAJOR GENE
RAL SCHOFIELD.
IlaAiHi'iis. Dtp'r. of North CARomri, "1
Army of tu Ohio, '
(ioldshors', N C, AprilB, 1865.)
(Jrnkkal : I have the honor to make the fol
lowiiipr report of tho operations of the troops un
der my dommiind since January 1, 1866, tha
date r i r my last report addressed to Major Gene
ral George II Thomas, commanding Department
of tlm Cumberland, under whose comaianil 1 waa
then serving.
On the 21 January, 18G5, I aiarohed with the
Twcn:.v -third Army corps from Columbia, Ten-nes.-eo,
and arrived at Clifton, on the Tennessea
River, ou the 8fli, under orders to embark my
troopH at that point and move to Esstport, Mia;,
i-issipiii But, before tbe embarkation had oom
meiieed, I received, Jauuary 14, an order from
the Lieutenant General Commandiug, through
the Chief of otaff of tho Army, to move with tba
Twenty- bird Army corps to Annapolis, Mary
land Accordingly tho movement was oom
meuoed on the followiug day. The troops moved
with their artillery and horses, hut without wag
ons, by steam transports to Cincinnati, Ohio,
and thence by rail to Washington, District of
0 lumbiii, and Alexandria, Virginia, a second
order from Washington having changed the des
tination from Annapolis,
A' liouj.;li in mid-winter, and weather unusu
ally severe cyen for that season, the movement
was effected without delay, acoident, or suffering
on tho pari of the troops. By the list of January
tho whole c unpaand had arrived at Washington
and Alex ir Iria.
At Alci njdria great and unfaverable delay
was cuu-el by the freeiing of the Potomac,
which ri ltd n d its navigation impossible much
of tho time for several weeks. Meanwhile I mat
tho Lieutenant General Commanding at Fortress
Monroe, and went with him to tbe mouth of Capo
Fear River to eonsult with Rear-Admiral Porter
md Major Geueral Terry relative to future ope
rations On my return to Washington an order
was- issued from the War Department creating
the Department of North Carolina, and assigh
injr ii. e to its command.
My instructions from the Lieutenant General
Coin rot: xling, ss well as those received from you,
ilireugh Mjor General Foster, made tho ulti
mate object of my operations tha occupation of
Goldslioro', the . . peniug of railroad aommunica
tiou between thet point and the lea coast, thene
ctmiuluiion of supplies for your Army, and the
junction of my foicoa with your main army at or
near Goldsboro'. Wilmington was made my
first objective, because it would afford a valuable
auxiliary, base to Morehead City in tba event of
our junction boiug made at Goldbora' ai de--.'igrfi'.l,
and because its possession by ui would
be of greV valuo to you irj.case the movement of
the uuomy's main army or other circumstances
all uld render t dvisablo a concentration of your
Army at. some point furthor louth than Golds
borV. As soon as it became possible to navigate
I.Ik: Potomac, I started from Alexandria with tha
Third division, Twenty-third Army aorps, under
command of" Major Gen. J. D. Oax, arid reached
the moti th of Cape Fear River on the 9th of Fob
ruiia v,.nd landed upon tho peninsula near Fort
Fisher
Major General A, IT. Torry, with about8,000
men, then hold a line aoross the peninsula aboat
two miles above tho fort,-and oeeupied-gmitbfHte
I Fort Caswell on the south side of the river,
while the naval squadron, under Roar Admiral
Porter, occupied positions in Capo Fear River
mid off the ooast, covering the flanks of General
Terry's lino.
The oi.emy occupied Fort. Anderson on tho
ir eM liiuk, with a ))sitoral line rnnuing to a
lui "jti iwamp ibout three-fourths of a mile distant,
and iipe upposito Fort. Anderson running aoross
tho pontusala from Capo Fesr River to Maaon
fnou' Sound. His position was iuipregnablo
ugaint direst attack, and could be turned
only bv crossing Masotiboro' Sound above his
left or pressing around the swamp whioh covered
his i igbt.

started around tbe swamp cevv0. with his
right to strike the Wilmington H' division,
Fort Anderiou. The distaaoe to ismemy'g
was about Sftaan miles Tha eaemy, irar of
his cavalry of Gan. Cox'i movement, td
abandoaed hia worka en both aidaa of the ril
during the night of February 19, and fell bacx
behind Town Creek on the west, and to a car-
responding position, aovared by swamps, on tbe
east. Wa thus gained poisession f the main
defenoei of Caps Fear River and of Wilmington,
with 10 pieces of heavy ordnaaoe and a large
amountof ammunition. Our loss was but trifling.
On the following day Gen. Cox pursued tha
enemy to Town Creak, behind whioh he was
found intrenehed, and bad destroyed the only
bridge. Gen. Terry also enceantercd the enemy
in bis new position, and in force superior to Gen.
Terry's. Gen. Ames' division wai reerosaed to
the east bank, and joined General Tarry in the
night of the 19th.
Oa the 20th (Sen. Coi crowed Town Creek
below the enemy's position, by tbe uie of a sin
gle flatbeat found in the stream, and by wading
through iwamps reached tha enemy 'a lank and
rear, attacked and rented him, capturing two
pieeei of artillery, 375 priseaers, besides tho
killed and wounded, and dispersed the remainder.
During the night Gea. Cox rebuilt the bridge,
crossed his artillery, and the aext morning
pushed on toward Wilmington witheat opposition.
General Terry was unable to make any furthor
advance, but occupied the attentieu of all of Hoke's
force so tbat he could not send any to replace that
which Cex destroyed,. Qn the 21at General Oox
secured a portion of tha enemy's pontooa bridge
across Brunswick Iiiver, which hs had attempted to
destroy, put a portion ot his treops on to Eagle
Island and threatened to cress the Cape Fear above
Wilmington,. The enemy at nnce set fire to bis
steamers, cotton-, and military and naval stores, and
abandoned the town. Oar troops entered without
opposition early in the morning of Fsbraary 22,
and General Terry p.uraued the enemy aoresa North
east River.
Out total loss in the operations from February 11
to the capture nf Wilmington wis about J09 offioers
and men kil'ed arid weunded. That of tha enemy
was not lear tha i 1,010 killed, wounded and priso
ners. ; 61 picee nf heavy ordnance, 15 light pieces,
and a large amount of ammunition full into our
hands
It , afferde me pleasure te ackaowledge the cordial
and constant uo-eperatien of the naval sqnadren
under Rear-Admiral Porter, so far aa the natnre of
the operations would admit.
Having oi rolling stock at Wilmington, and being
nearly destitute of wagon tranaportatiau, I waa com
pelled to operate from Newborn alone for the capture
of (Joldnburo, I had already rent t j Newbsrn about
6,000 troops belong' .g te tne various corps of yonr
army, and directed Lrizadier General ,J. S. Palmer
to move, with as little 'delay as practicable, ' witn all
his available force t .wards Kihioe, to , over the
workmen engaf.sd in repairing the railroad. As.
soon as Wilmington waa secured, I alii seut General
Ruger's division, Twenty-third Army corps, which
waa then arriving at Cape Fear inlet, by sea te Mere
had City, to reinforce the oolamn moving from alew
bern. On the 26th, finding that Geueral Palmer
had not moved, aa was expeeted, I sent Major
(ienem! C"i to tuke commaid at Newbei n and push
toward at Pncfl.
General CoUtih's division, wh ich bad nearly com
pleted its debarkation when Wilmington waa cap
tured, was brought Jo that place ,'airl tkat division,
with General Cox', temporarily cornea a ruled by
Irigadisr General Reilly, waa prepared aa rapidly as
posiible to j in the column moving from Newbero by
Mrrd mAich. Tlmae ariaugeiuaute ware ina-fe-be-
canse of the scarcity or both land and ana tranaper
tation. It waa not u iil Mfeh 6th that I waa abln
to obtain veaguns enough, including those bologiug t
General Terry's command, to move the two divisions
trom Wlltniugtou to KlnstoD.
On the 6th, General Couoh started with the two
divisions, second and third, f tha 1'weuty-tbitd
corps, n I marched, via Oh do wand iiieb laud's for
Kinaton. ;ju tb same day I went by ea to More

on the 8ih Geueral Cox bad advaueetl to Wlse'a
