The news

The Richmond and Petersburg lines.

Unbroken quiet prevails on these lines.

The report comes to us from Petersburg that Grant is transferring some of his troops to aid Sherman in North Carolina. We cannot vouch for the truth of the report.

A large body of woods on the lines below Richmond were on fire yesterday.

From North Carolina.

There was a rumor on the streets yesterday that General Johnston had attacked Sherman in his entrenchments at Bentonsville and driven him out of them. We have received no official intelligence confirmatory of the rumor, and for this and other reasons, doubt that there is foundation for it.

General Singleton.

After a protracted visit, this gentleman left Richmond yesterday by flag of truce for Grant's lines. We learn that the objects, whether looking to peace or commerce, that brought him to Richmond, have not been realized. He goes back a sadder. if not a wiser, man.
