here has so far been only skirmishing to-day. Please give this information to the Governor in my name. J. E. Johnston. Telegram. near Bentonville, March 21st, 1865:7.10 A. M. Genl. G. T. Beauregard: We are remaining here to cover the removal of our wounded to railroad at Smithfield. The enemy's intrenched position and greatly superior number-Sherman's army being in our front—makes further offensive impracticable. J. E. Johnston. Telegram. near Smithfield, March 23d, 1865. To Genl. G. T. Beauregard: Sherman's whole army being intrenched in our front on morning of 20th, we did not attack, but held our position to cover removal of wounded and occupy enemy. There was heavy skirmishing 20th and 21st, and several partial attacks by him handsomely repulsed. Troops of Tennessee Army have fully disproved slander that has been published against them. Evening and night of 21st enemy moved towards Goldsboroa, and yesterday we came here. J. E. Johnston.
