MONDAY, APRIL 24, 1865.
A Strange “ Basie of Peace.”
Two days and nights of excitement,
equally intense, though not so’ sonorous
of victory as more recent public demon
strations, have just,marked the heartfelt
tribute of the people of Philadelphia to
the'memory of Abraham Lincoln. The
stranger who had shuddered over the sad
narratives of the war, and the countless
lives and treasure it has cost, must have
looked upon the well-dressed, orderly,
happy, and healthy multitudes who surged
through our great thoroughfares on Saturday
and Sunday last, and till two o’clock of
this (Monday) morning, with something
of the feeling of one suddenly introduced
intp the scenes and sights of a newly
discovered planet. He saw here a mighty
mass of humanity, blessed with an abun
dance of this world’s goods, grieving over
the bier of a murdered patriot, yet strong
and terrible in the elements that go to punish
traitors and to protect their Government. If,
in the midst of this .wonderful uprising,
if bad been told that one of our bravest and
most successful generals had attempted to
make an unsatisfactory peace with the rebel
foe, the reply wouldhave been spoken from
thousands of tongues, as the language of
millions of hearts: “A nation that can
survive a loss so great as that we mourn, is
proof against all the accidents and misfor
tunes of life, and can only be'destroyed by
God Himself.” Such, in fact, were bur
own emotions after reading the “ Gazette”
of the Secretary of War of the 22d of
April, giving to the American people the de
tails of the so-called amnesty between Ge
neral S HERMAN and the rebel leader, Jo
Jchnston, at Durham’s Station, North
Carolina, on tile 18th of April, 18651 First
expressing the thanks of the community to
the Secretary of War for his prompt
publication of all the facts connected with
this new and most unlooked-for develop
ment, we freely express our own regret
that a general so victorious aud so re
spected should have assumed a responsi
bility so grave and so entirely beyond the
scope of his authority. With the very
recent memorable example of General
Grant before him, it is at least surprising
that General Sherman should have gone
so far beyond the former demands of the
rebels and the known policy of his Go
vernment. It is true that he proposed to
refer his propositions to the Execu
tive, but by a most unwarrantable
1-cense the enemy Is allowed a long ar
mistice of several days, and General
Stoneman is called away from Salisbury
to join Sherman, thus probably opening
the way for Davis, with millions of valua
bles in gold and silver, 1 ‘to escape to Mexico
and Europe.” Secretary Stanton calls the
attention of the country to the following
order, signed by him Self and written by
Mr. Lincoln, to General Grant, as long
ago as the Sd of March, 1865, in which the
path so carefully followed by that illustri
ous soldier, and, we regret to say, so singu
larly neglected by General Sheri&an, is
pointed out. We use the words of Secre
tary Stanton’* despatch introducing the
President’s instructions:
On the night of the 3d of March, while President
3,’ccoln and his Cabinet wore at the Capitol, a
telegram from General Grant was brought to the
Foci etary of War, Informing him that General Lee
) ad requested an interview or conference to mato
:; rargoments for terms of peace. The letter of
<.< neral Lee was published in a message of Davis
t -tto rebel Congress.
General Grant’s telegram was submitted to Mr.
1.-r eciß, who, after pondering a few minutes, took
■ i; his pen and wrote with his own hands the fol
: - vil.-g reply, which he submitted to the Secretary
r> ; state and Secretary of War. It was then dated,
r»-drtEsed, and signed by the Secretary of War,
osd telegraphed to General Grant.
FREBIDEHT LINCOLN'S INSTRUCTIONS.
Washington, March 3,1885—12 P. M.
Li'vtenant General Grant:
The President directs me to say to you that he
wSthtsyou to have no conference with General Lee,
unleßß-lt be for the capitulation of General Lee’s
army, or on some minor and purely military matter.
H* instructs me to say that you are not to deride,
discuss, or confer upon any political questions.
Such questions the President holds In his own
hands, and will not submit them to military eon
foresee or conventions. In the meantime you -are
to press to the utmost your military advantages.
Edwin M. Stanton.
secretary of War.
It was probably the belief that “the basis
of peace” agreed upon by Sherman and
Jo Johnston would be sanctioned by Pre
sident Lincoln which led the former to
consent to it; but the despatch just quoted
proves that it would have met a fate as
.prompt and decisive at his hands, had he
been alive, as it received at the hands of
his successor, President Johnson.- It is
impossible to suppose that any such under
standing weuld have been discussed, much
less agreed upon, in the army, had General
Sherman heard of the horrible assassina
tion, by rebel hands, of his friend and chief,
Abraham Lincoln, and we do not
doubt that when the news of that darkest
of crimes has reached North Carolina, it will
fill the souls of the Union soldiers with
sterner resolves to punish all who do not
i abandon a cause stained by such mon
strous and inhuman guilt. In any case, it
will, let us hope, go far to convince the
true friends of the Government that this is
no time for leniency to traitors in arms,
and that if General Sherman committed
an error in Ms “ basis of peace,” it is his
fluty as a good soldier to obey the orders of
his Commander-in-Chief, by withdrawing
this offer to the rebels, and by “ imme
diately resuming- hostilities,” as di
jected by President Johnson, Gene
ral , Gbant, and the whole Cabinet.
"The nine short answers, evidently from
Mr, Stanton’s pen, to the seven points
of the “ agreement ” or “ basis of peace,”
will be found in another column of The
Pbess, W e have no wish to examine these
points, now that they have been effectually
exposed by these explicit replies, and em
phatically disavowed by the President, the
’ Lieutenant General, and the constitutional
'advisers Of the Executive.
Only tMs we must add: That the Ameri
can People will submit to no more ex
hibitions of undeserved mercy to arm-
: td traitors. However well-intentioned
(General Sheehan may have been, the
People will not atom the terms of
Iris convention with -Johnston. In dis
approving Ms conduct the General Ad
ini uistration only acted in obedience to
and in accordance with, the known wishes
and demands of the masses. They have
seen many dark days. They have parted
•with many cherished relatives and friends.
They have given up comforts and treasure
. without number. They have seen favorite
(generals falling under supicion and re
proach, and retired to private life. And
they have lost a friend and counsellor in
their beloved Lincoln. But they have
never yet despaired of the Republic. Never
before have they been stronger in idola
trous affection for their country, or more
indifferent to the interests of ambitious
politicians or intriguing partisans,' than in
this trying and impressive hour.
The National Funeral,
The spot, hallowed by the memories of
the past, where our fathers first asserted
’American Independence, and where with
anxious- hearts they sought to form “a
;n.f re perfect union,” was fitly chosen as
•a i e sting-place for the solemn cortege now
'Winding its way through a sorrowing
inuct. Those walls witnessed the crown
ing act of the lives of men who lived and
wi ought to establish our Union, mid they
have first enclosed the remains of a man
v; bo lived and wrought and died to main
tain and perfect their work.
“I would rather be assassinated on tMs
spot” than surrender the principles of free
dom, were Ms own words, uttered in that
very Hall in 1861; and now, after vindicat
ing their truth, proving their strength, and
carrying them forward into completest
consequences, his assassinated form re
ceives a people’s honors.
We believe that Heaven has made us
ns a representative people to work out its
»wu designs, and that our sorrows and
successes work together; that the present
wfir has been a conflict between issues of
vital importance to humanity, and that in
Gds conflict questions of mighty moment
have booy; solved The American people,
guided by Providence, had found them,
selves a most fitting leader in Abraham
Lincoln. He was peculiarly a representa
tive man.
Bom in 11 the dark and bloody ground”
Where our national traits are best seen, re
sident of a State which well typifies the
rapid growth and abounding wealth of the
great Northwest, these mere outlines of his
life rendered Mm a representative Ameri
can. Mentally and morally, we
can claim him with even more assurance.
Throughout his hazardous official tenure
he firmly held to the representative function,
never for a moment or by a word for
getting that he was President of the
whole United States. In the strength of
this serene faith he quietly awaited the
fulfilment of time, and although grieving
at the delay, waited more in sorrow than
in anger on “those now in rebellion.”
His strong, nervous style belongs to the
section of Ms birth; the clearness, sim
plicity, and brevity of Ms diction is the
language of a worMng people. Where he
was decided it was the decision of the
strong arms and brains of his countrymen;
and where he hesitated it was because the
American people had hesitated themselves.
The great unsettled questions of all nations
and times have been bequeathed to us for
elucidation, and where long ages have pon
dered over a problem, it may be becoming
for us to be cautious in reacMng the solu
tion.
His individual traits have received the
verdict of the people, the highest authority,
in their Mghest praiSe— hb was loved.
The humblest in the land felt assured of
Ms kindness. The pressure of affairs could
not prevent his benevolence finding hourly
manifestations; patience and generosity
were evinced in the actions of every day.
A man of the people, he felt for the people,
and, better yet, he felt with them, aud by
that he has found an abiding home in their
hearts.
LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
Washington, April 23.
The extraordinary negotiation between
General Sherman and Joe Johnston, is
greatly deplored by the trusted heads
of the Government. The fact that such
a convention was had, clearly with
out authority, and in the full know
ledge of the defeat and surrender of Lee,
the chief of the rebel army, the eva
cuation of Richmond, and the confessed
exhaustion of the main resources of the
enemy,, adds deep mortification to general
surprise. The prompt action of President
Johnson, countermanding this stretch of
authority, is characteristic; and the in
stant departure of General Grant to super
sede Sherman shows that what the Execu
tive decided was unhesitatingly carried into
effect. '
This is no time to indulge in denuncia
tions of brave soldiers. But it is impossible
to avoid the contrast instantly suggested be
tween tMs correspondence and the memo
rable interview of Grant and Lee. Gen.
Sherman has attempted to legislate—to do,
what Grant distinctly saw and said could
belong only to the Executive, and has
thus complicated, if not endangered, the
most sacred interests. The concessions
seem to be all to the rebels; and what is
the worst, is that they include seme of the
leading objects for wMeh the war has been
prosecuted by the Federal Government.
They practically restore the rebels to State
ascendency, and acknowledge, if not in
distinct terms, at least by a most suspicious
silence, tbe existence of human slavery.
Indeed, if we understand the drift of this
strange proceeding, the rebels are made our
equals before the United States courts; and
the Governments of Tennessee, West Vir
ginia, Louisiana, afid probably Maryland
and Missouri, are to be superseded by
tbe rule of men, black with treachery
and crimsoned with murder. I trust the
step taken by the President will be effective
in correcting tMs painful example, wMch, I
regret to say, has not a single merit, from a
first reading, to commend it. Happily, how
ever, the intelligence comes upon us when
we are most ready to meet disaster.
We receive it, it is true, when we are
Mourning by the.coffin of President Lin
coln, murdered by a rebel assassin; but
when we are fired with a' stronger aud more
resolute purpose—when the duty of crush
ing the rebellion and of holding the con
quered sections by an army until the States
are purified of treason, has become.a religion,
and when all ideas of a peace based upon
compromise have been discarded even by
the most moderate. The people have too
deep a sense of their great loss, and are too
conscious of their great strength, to be dis
heartened by any new calamity or delayed
in the great work they have in hand.
Whatever the object or the effect .of the
negotiation between Sherman and John
ston, the Government is' prepared for it,
and the people will sustain the Govern
ment. With no disposition to do the
slightest injustice to General Sherman,
it may .be said that he has always
professed strong feelings for leading
Southern men, especially for those with
whom he had served at West Point before
he resigned the army to go into business.
But he has been a brilliant soldier, and not a
word has ever fallen from Mm to lead any
one to suppose that he would consent to
such terms as are set forth in the so-called
“ agreement ” with -Jo Johnston. He
must have been misled by evil counsels, or
overmatched by the cunning of wily ene
mies. His most intimate friends, and all
his relations and connections, are-not only
earnest, but ultra friends of the Govern
ment. His.brother," John Sherman, Sena
tor in Congress from Ohio, is a leader of
conspicuous ability and commanding influ
ence in’ the Administration party. His
father-in-law, Hon. Thomas Ewing, is one
of the most distinguished Republicans iu
the same State. His own record is bright
with goods deeds. He left the South early,
while at the head of the Military Academy
of Louisiana, to offer Ms .service to the
Union cause. ;■ Such a man, so educated,
so surrounded, so brave, and so incorrupt,
can never stain Ms honor by an act of deli
berate wrong. Occasional.
Eloquent Tribute,
The following characteristic, pointed,
and eloquent/remarks of Hon. Benjamin
H. Brewster, at the meeting of the mem
bers of the Philadelphia Bar, at the United
States Court Boom, on the Monday after
the murder of the President, are well wor
thy of preservation:
“ Mr, B. H. Brewster was the next speaker. We
can do no jtißtlce to the remarks of Mr. Brewster,
whioh were characterized by deep feeling in their
conception, and were delivered with the-elegant Im
pressiveness which marks this gentleman’s manner
of speaking. He observed that the Bar of Philadel
phia had long been an eminent one, distinguished
In the history of civilized law : distinguished as a
body for loyalty, for support of law, of order, of Go
vernment and the Constitution. He pointed to the
taKat of Busbrod Washington, who so long ooou*
pled the seat now osoupted by the honorable chair
man, and alluded to his virtues,« worthy of his au
gust name.” It wad appropriate that this
Bar, while joining all public professions, and
private individuals In expressing their horror for
the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, should pay a
special tribute to one who was himself a member
of their own profession; a lawyer, a good lawyer, a
lawyer read deeply In the principles of oonstltu
tlonal jurisprudence!; one who had sealedlwith his
blood his devotion to Us scored obligations. From
no public body oould a tribute come so teellng
ly as from the ministers of justice; the order
of the State’s oolleoted win, Mr. Lincoln had
begun lire a poor boy, a very poor boy, until
his eighteenth year gaining his living by employ
ments in the rougher and more coarse depart
ments Of life. He then began the study of
the law, ana by his dear, simple, straightfor
ward oast of mind and character, soon came to
be respected In a profession of which integrity
Is the element of sucooss; a profession in which
men ambitions of doing good ean always be re
spectable. “In May, 1881,” said Mr. Brewster,
being then somewhat known In conneotlon with a
polltloal party lh Pennsylvania, I was Invited to
Washington. I understood—though I do not re
member that the Invitation so declared—that a con
ference was wished with me about the vlews.or that
great party; it was desired to know, so far at I
oould speak, what was the temper of men In the
North belonging to It. The invitation coming from
ah official source, I went. I expected to sea in Mr.
Lindon. a rough, harsh, 111-mannered, and repul
sive man. The foroe of. party associations led
me to such an expectation. Never, was I more
gratefully disappointed. I found, not-indeed a
person marked by those adventitious refinements
of -manner characteristic of a gentleman born
and bred In opulent drdes of our Eastern olties,
i .
but I founda man, kind,-benevolent, modest, gra
cious, unpretending, bumble ; considerate of others
more than of himself. An intelligent man of course
he was, and he was a well-informed one. :As a law
yer he spoke to me of law, and of the jurisprudence
of my own State, fpeolally. I.found that he had a
perfectly good conception of that singular system
mixed of law and equity which belongs to Pennsyl
vania only, aud which few men out of Pennsylva
nia can comprehend at all. He referred to a lead
ing case on this subject In the fifth volume of Mr.
Rinney’s Reports, Calhoun vs. Snyder, and spoke
particularly of the opinion of one of our judges. I
had more than one interview with him. I left him
with a profound conviction not only of his posses
sion of the whole line of manly virtues, but that the
gentler graces of humanity and goodwill adorned
and crowned them aU, It was quite a long time
alter this, when In a foreign laUd—where I had
gone for the perfect re establishment of my health,
temporarily Interrupted by a severe Illness—
onooming to my hotel one day the servant handed
me a letter. I knew Its superscription. I opened It
with pride, but not without some tremor of anxiety.
It was a letter from the President, sent to me In
Paris, thanking me for some Information which It
had been in my hnmble power to send the Govern
ment at home, and made more touching fromthe
interest he expressed In my own health and my
perfect restoration to It. That was Mr. Lincoln.”
Mr. Brewster, appealing to the Hon. Mr. Thayer,
as having common knowledge with him, wont ou to
narrate one or two Incidents personally known to
him of the President’s most excellent heartland did
It. In a way which moistened every eye. 11 What,
then, shall we say of this calamity 1 This calamity
do I call It? This disgrace—this disgrace to our na
tion—disgrace rather to Die human race Itself. The
history of the world reoords nothing like It. The
head of a great nation, modestly seated besldo his
wife, unattended, as it was his preference to be, by
guards or state of an; kind, enjoying with a grate
ful people an Innooent amusement, is shot down by
the fire of an assassin who thus vindicates a rebel’s
politics! ’Then you, and I, and aU of us, fell
down while bloody treason flourished over us.’ Mr.
Lincoln was no tyrant. He represented no nobles,
no favored olass. He sought to establish no
hlerarohy. He was not ‘ambitious.’ He was
a man of the people; a man who was seek
ing to maintain and perpetuate the equal Go
vernment for all which-our fathers gave us; a
modeßt man, accessible to all, ever gracious, hu
mane, benevolent, and beneficent. What language
can express the baseness of this act ? The assassina
tion of Csesar may have had excuse. RavalUad was
stimulated by religious fury. Hatfield was a mad
man. Yet such is party feeling that It will falsify
history. It will perpetuate a lie. This we may of
course expert,. The silver chord Is Indeed loosed,
and the goiden bowl Is broken. The doors are shut
In the streets; the mourners go about; the daugh
ters of musio are brought low; the dost of our de
parted friend and father shall return to earth, but
his spirit shall return unto God who gave It.”
Mb. L. A. Goiiright, the old head of the Asso
ciated Press, and one of the most able and talented
men who have been connected with it, has left
Washington, in which he has been for some length
of time directing its telegraphic reports, and will
accompany the corpse of our martyred President to
Its last resting place at Springfield. The charge of
the reports of this sad progress of the remains of
one so truly beloved by the people oould not have
been placed in better hands.

putt of the same routine of the past lew days, viz.:
receiving the visits of various State associations and
delegations. The first to call this morning was the
Georgetown Union League, who the President feel
ingly addressed. A delegation of the Sons of Ver
mont afterwards called, with Hon. S. B. Colby at
the head, who addressed the President. He re.
sponded to them in a brief speech, and In conclu
sion said he would say to the wealthy traitor.: “You
must pay the penalty of your treasonand, on
the other side, to thp misguided thousands who have
been deluded and deceived, some cfnhom have
paid the penalty with their llveß and limbs: “ Con
ciliation, forbearance and clemency.”
A LETTER FROM J. B. BOOTH TO J. W. BOOTH.
A letter received at Ford’s Theatre, directed to J.
Wilkes Booth, has been handed to the police. It
Is to the handwriting of Junius Bbutus Booth,

signlficantlyof the oil business, and advises young
Booth to abandon It, now thatjßlohmond has been
given up and Lee has surrendered, as Ms friends
believe It will not he profitable.§ A postscript Blgned

It Is stated that J. Wilkes Booth studied law to
the office of the late Judge Burl, Id Troy, about ten
years ago. He remained there but a short time.
THE PRESIDENT’S POLICY.
The President’s speech to the Indiana delegation

State Governments, and disfranchising the rebel
State Governments. This will virtually recognize
Governor Pibefont as Governor of Virginia.

Washington, April 22.—Yesterday evening a
bearer of a despatch arrived from Geni Sherman.
An agreement for the suspension of hostilities, and
a memorandum ef what Is called a basis; for peace,
had been entered into on the 18th Inst., by General
Sherman with the rebel General Johnston; the rebel
General BreohJnridge being present at the con
ference.
A Cabinet meeting was held at 8 o’clock In the
evening, at which the notion of General Sherman
was disapproved by the Secretary of War, by Gen.
Grant, and by every member of the Cabinet,
General Sherman was ordered to reßaihe hostili
ties Immediately, and he was directed that the In
structions given by the late President in the follow
ing telegram, whloh was penned by Mr. Lincoln
himself at the Capitol, on the! night of the 2d of
March, were approved by.Presldont Andrew John
son, and were reiterated to govern the action-of
military commanders. i
' On the night of the 2d of March,[while President
Lincoln and his Cabinet were at the Capitol, a tele
gram from General Grant was brought to the
Secretary of War, Informing him that General Lee
had requested an Interview or conference to make
arrangements for terms of peace. letter of
General Lee was published in the message ofDavla
to the rebel Congress.
General Grant’s telegram was submitted to Mr.
Lincoln, who, after pondering a few minuteß,took

He instructs me to say that you are not to decide,

Such questions the President holds In his: own

ference or conventions. In the meantime yon are to
press to the utmost your military advantages.
Edwin M. Stanton,
* Secretary..of War.
The orders of Gen, Sherman to General Stone
man, to withdraw from Salisbury and join him, will
probably open the way for Davis to escape to Mexico
or to Europe with his plunder, which Is reported to
be very large, Including not,only the plunder of the
Blohmond banks, but previous accumulations.
A despatch received from Blohmond says: “It is
stated here hy responsible parties that the amount
of speoie taken south by Jeff Davis and bis party Is
very large, including not only the plunder of’the
Blohmond banks, but previous accumulations.”
They hope, It Is said,' to make terms with General
Sherman or some other Southern commander by
whloh they will be permitted, with their effects, In
cluding their gold plunder, to go to Mexico or Eu-.
rope. Johnston’s negotiations look to this end.
After the Cabinet meeting last night Gen. %-rant
started for Worth Carolina, to direct operations
against Johnston’s army.

J. E JOHNBTON,.
General Commanding O. S. Army In H. c:
It is reported that this proceeding of General
Sherman was disapproved for the following among
other reasons: ‘ ; - t
Firet. It was an exorcise of authority not vested
In General Sherman, and on Its face shows that
both he and Johnston knew that General Sherman
had no authority to enter Into any suoh arrange
ments. -
Second, It was a practical acknowledgment of the
rebel Government.
Third. It undertook to re-establish rebel State
Governments that had been overthrown at the sacri
fice of many thousand loyal lives and immense
treasure, and placed arms and munitions of war in
hands of rebels at their respective capitals, which
might he used as soon as the armies of the United
States were, disbanded, and used to conquer and
subdue loyal States. - . , •
Fourth, By the restoration of rebel authority in
their respective States they would be enabled to re
establish slavery. v .
Fifth. It might romlsh a ground of responsibility
on the part of the Federal Govemmentto pay the
rebel debt, and certainly subjects-loyal citizens of
rebel States to debts contracted by rebels In-the
name of the State. V r
Sixth. It put-in dispute the existence of loyal
State governments, and the new State of West Vir
ginia, which had been recognized by every depart
ment of the United States Government.,

tered our people, from all pains and penalties for
their crimes. -
Eighth, it gave terms that had been deliberated
repeatedly and solemnly rejected by President Lin
coln, and better terms than the rebels had ever, as li
ed in their moat prosperous condition. / i
Ninth. It formed no baslsof true and lasttngjpsaee,
but relieved rebels from the presence of our victo
ries, and left them in a condition to renew their
efiorts to overthrow the United States Government
and Bubduo the loyal States whenever their strength
was recruited and any opportunity should offer.

PRESIDENT LINOOLIj’B POLICY. WITH THE REBELS
IN VIRGINIA—THBihBBBL PEACE PROPOSITIONS,
AND HOW THE LATE PRESIDENT RECEIVED, THEM
—HIS GOODNESS TO REBELS EVEN AT THE LAST.
Washington, April 20.—The following Is the
history of the authority- recently given for tho as
sembling of the rebel Legislature of Virginia:
While President Lincoln was in Blohmond, he
"Was waited upon by. Judge John A, Campb ell, who
observed: . - '
.. “ I had’an Interview with Jefferson Davis, Benja
min, and Breckinridge; justbefore they left, and said
ito them: 1 The military power ol the Confederacy is
broken. Its independence Is hopeless.. It only re
mains for ns to make the best terms we can. ■_ The
trouble is, the President of "the United States oan
not enter Into negotiations with you, hut ho does re
cognize the States, and oan-confer with their regu
lar authorities.’ Under the doctrine of State Bights,
so universally held in the South, the troops bom
Virginia—the Confederate Government being a
fugitive—will recognize the right of the Virginia
Legislature to control them. If yon, Mr. Lincoln,
will permit that body to convene, It will doubtless
recall them-fxom-the field.” "
Campbell’B arguments for this course were many
and specious. The President was actuated by his
absorbing desire for peace to listen attentively; but,
he Said:
“Judge Campbell, let us have no misunderstand
ing. 1 Will give yon, once more, in black and white,
mjr only terms.” And he immediately wrote the
same propositions which Mr. Seward took (Tom him
to the Hampton Hoads Conference.
I. The territorial integrity of the Republic,
n. .Ho retraction of Executive or Congressional
action on the subject of slavery.
111. Ho armistice. .
To these he adied a fourth condition, that, lflead-
Ing Confederates still persisted in the war, now it
had become so utterly hopeless, their property
should be relentlessly confiscated,
Campbell prayed for a modification of the third ar.
tide, but the President was Immovable. He said:
“ We will not negotiate with men as long as they
are lighting against ns. The last eleotlon establish
ed this as the deliberate determination of the
country.”
On the steamboat which brought Mr. Lincoln
down the James river, ho wrote this order to Gen.
Weitzel:
“ Von will permit the persons whojiall themselves
the Virginia Legislature to convene In Riohmond,
for the purpose of withdrawing the Virginia troops
from the rebel army, but you will not aUow them to
use an; treasonable language, of adopt any trea
sonable measures.
Without consulting with any person’ whatever, or
advising any one of Its contents, he sealed this
doonment, and sent it to Gen. Weitzel by a United
States Senator.
But on the very day of his death he received a
letter from Judge Campbell, tinged with the usual
rebel Insolence, ignoring altogether the proposition
wMch the President had made-to him in writing,
and urging :
“It is true that the military power of the Con
federacy is destroyed, but the spirit of the Southern,,
people sun remains unbroken. If yon want to coiSS
"dilate them, it will, be wise for yon to grant an
annlßtice, and necessary for you to treat leniently
their leading public men, and seek their assistance!”
This was too much, even for Mr. Idncoln’s good
nature. He characterized Campbell’s oourse as un
graceful andontrageous. Meanwhile, the capitula
tion of Gen. Lee obviated the necessity of conve
ning the rebel Legislature, and he sent an order
countermanding the call.
One.of the President’s last official acts was a deed
of dneroytoward his enemies. He expressly stated
that he meant to give the leading Confederates an
ojfportnnlty to leave the country. This telegram
' f|om Portland eame to Washington:
• ’“Beverly Tucker and Jacob Thompson will be
here to-morrow bfdisgnlso, to leave on the steamer
for Europe. What shall we do 1”
Mr. Lincoln directed the authorities to let them
go. A few hours later he fell by the assassin’s bul
’ let, and beside Ms death-bed a member of the Cabi
net countermanded that order. Fortunately for
their own lives, Thompson and Tuokerdld not come
into th; 'gnJted States after the conspirators had'
murdered the only man' who oould have saved them
ftom their doom.
Jeff Davis Fleeing to Texas.
New York, April 28.—The Suffolk, Va., corre
spondence of the Berald states that rebel officers
who had arrived there report that the news op
Lee’s surrender reached Jeff Davis at Danville
three days after.Ms proclamation, and Jeff lea at
daylight the next morning for Greensboro, H. C.
He stated that If hard poshed he should go to
Texas, where he was sure hejoonld rally an army
around him and make another stand, and that he
should never, leave the limits of the Confederacy.
He lßiued orders for the cavalry to join him and to
burn the bridges over the Mehenln and Boanoke
rivers, which Is reported to have been done, and,
also, for the evacuation of Weldon.

CSpeotal Correspondence of Thc Piew.y #
Petersburg, April 19,1365.
THE DEATH -OP ,THR PRESIDENT.
; The r murder of‘President Lincoln oontinnos to bo
th© allabsorbing topic. All bthor matters, whether
news or otherwise, sink into Insignificance when
mentioned in the present state of national affliction.
There continues to bo one undisguised fhallDgol
horror. Yesterday all business was suspended
hero ana at City Point, In accordance with tho re
oommendatlon from the Acting Scoretary of State.
Tho people seemed to take little ndtlo'e of the
catastrophe. Two bolls out of Blx upon the places
for publlo worship made out to toll, while tho others
remained silent. Still the Government lsfeedlng
thousands of these broken-down rebels, who are
cursing it with thoXSamo breath whloh its oharlty
' has Infused Into them.
THE CONDITION OP THE CITY.
Under the energetic influence of Yankee en
terprise this olty begins .to wear, quite a
business appearance. Stores are being opened
by the sutlers, and many of tho oltl
zens, with tho aid of the market, cater to the
wants of tho people. It will not be long before the
houses whloh have boon damaged by tho shelling of
our batteries before the occupation will be put In
perfect repair. .Bolingbrook street received more
Injuries than any other'; but' still those meteoric but
unwelcome visitors perforated many of the finest
plaoes of business and residences In the city. Old
and dilapidated ones are being rebuilt, while the
number of vessels In the .Appomattox give quite
a prosperous aspect to affairs of business. Tho gas
In this city has not been Interfered with, except by
the poverty of circumstances, wMch somewhat
dimmed its lustre. The streets are not lighted
up, except where sentinels are posted to guard
the city. For a long time before our occu
pation, gas was only used In the houses under
the immediate command or General Pcrroro. The
city enjoys a' more cleanly appearance than at any
period since the war. Swooping tho streets and
carrying away the filth presented so novel an at
traction to the Datives, as to bring from 1 thorn a
grudging degree of admiration for the authorities
In this respect. The markets are being bountifully
supplied wltk the various good tilings of life, whloh
disappear, If not mysteriously, certainly effectually,
under the magic Influence of the legal'tender.
QUASI UNIONISM.
The Petersburg Express, than wiffoh no paper
could have been more treasonable, nor Indulged In
fouler vituperation against the spotless character
of the late President, Is now being issued by the
same man as a Union journal. This Is carrying In
dulgence beyond the degree of, propriety. If any
class of men deserve any punishment for
their great crime of treason, It is the culti
vated rebels, who prostituted themselves to de
ceive the masses, through the. medium of their pa
pers, and continued their malignant spirit until
the flag of the Union vlndioatedlts authority. Mer
oy to this olass Is a weakness.
ARRIVAL OP TROOPS.
The Second divislomfcolored) 25th corps, former
ly commanded by Brig. Gen. Wm. Birney, arrived
within four miles of the olty day before yesterday.
During tho recent campaign tho division has seen
hard senrfee, principally in marching. Some of tho
men were wounded, but very few killed. The first
troops to enter this olty wore companies A and
H, Bth U. S. C. T., and B and G, 127th U. S. O-
T. The regiments ayfoame in about the same time.
The 127th Is the last colored regiment which left
Philadelphia for the front, and though It had the
good fortune to lose none of its men, its marching
and promptness were of the most gratifying charac
ter. The Bth is a veteran regiment, and has done
good service upon many a Moody field.

Lincoln was exposed In the Capitol from half past
9 until 12 o’clock last night. The heavy rain, mean

persons repaired thither to see the remains. This
morning we have the promise of a clear day.
The spectators formed In a line and passed Into
the Capitol, which was appropriately draped both
outside and within, filing past the ooffininthe House
of Representatives. The throng quietly, and with
the best possible order, retired at the east end of the
edifice, after hastily viewing the face of the lament
ed dead.
In the rear of the Speaker’s chair was a portrait
of the President, surrounded by a beautiful wreath
of flowering peach. Battle-flags captured by Penn
sylvania regiments were displayed at an the win
dows. The black drapery and general arrangement
of the haU contributed largely to the solemnity of
the scene. The Capitol will remain draped with
mourning for the space of ninety days.
This morning ail seoular business was suspended,
and the principal streets were crowded with human
beings. Gbntlemen of official prominence from all
parts of Pennsylvania were conspicuous In the

and minute guns fired as the oortege proceeded
over the route to Hie depot. The corpse was placed
on the funeral oar, and punctually at 11A.M. the

At the windows and on the barns are spectators,
small groups are elsewhere seen on'the way, and
now and then a solitary man or woman la seen
looking from a hill side, or from the door of a lowly
cabin. <
At Coatesvllle, a beautifully situated manu
facturing village, the country is remarkably
picturesque. The various groups of speotatorsto
different localities give increased Interest to the
scene. Heads are bowed and hats raised as the
train rumbled onward.
' At ten minutes of three o’clock wo are at Down

Children hurry to the rear car to see the funeral
car. Further on there is a large collection of people
to front of a public house, which Is suitably fes

At Eagle station, amid a group, a woman held to
her arms a child probably not over three years of
age. The’child wore a dark sack, with a mourning
scarf across his shoulder, waving a flag, which was
trimmed with crape. This tooldent found ready
appreciation by all who witnessed It from the cars.
From the time of leaving Harrisburg until we
reached Philadelphia we saw no persons whatever
engaged at labor. The day seemed to be appro

sons residing to this largely-populated, prosperous,
and Industrious part of the State. Ploughs were
left to their furrows, shorn were closed, aud a Sab
bath quiet prevailed. Respect was shown to the
deceased all alongfthe way, affording another evi
dence, if any were heeded, of the deep feeling of af
fection associated .'with, the memory of the distin
guished dead. So tor the party accompanying the
President’s remains have been free from the Inflic

none will have the bad teste to mar the solemnity of
the occasion by unnecessary speech-making.
REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS OF MB. LINCOLN.
This morning at one o’clock the doors of admis
sion to Independence Hail were closed to the pub
lic. The orowd continued up to that hour, but was
muoh diminished, Dr. Brown, the emhalmer, then
proceeded to dress the corpse. Mach dust had col
lected upon it, and great care was taken to the re
moval of the dust and. in ether preparations ne
cessary to the proper departure of the body.
At three o’clock the corpse was again placsd
- In the magnificent hearse In which It was brought
to Independence Hall, and the line of march to the
Kensington depot was token up. The escort eon-
Bltted of the 187 to Regiment Infantry, the Olty
Troop, cavalry, the guard of honor, the' detachment
of soldiers to guard the body, the Perseverance
Hose Company, and a detachment of the Repnbll
ean tovtoclbles. The funeral train started for New
York at four o’clock.
Washington, April 19.—Governor Oglesby to
day received the following despatch :
Spbinsfibld, April 19,—A national monument
fnnd Is on foot, and a plat of ground or six acres, to
the heart of the olty, selected for the burial place of
our lamented President Lincoln,
S. Ttnd alb, Secretary of State,
A Curious Incident.— The Superintendent of
the New York Ins titution for the Deaf and Dumb
relates the following strange story:
IJOLLIN.
On the Wednesday night preceding the Presi
dent’s assassination, a little daaf and dumb girl to
onr institution got np to her sleep, went to a class
mate, and after rousing her, spelt with the manual
alphabet, “Lincoln Is shot.” In the morning the
somnambulist knew nothing of the airanmstonce
till informed of it by her friend, in the presenoe of
others. The Incident would probably never have
been recalled but for the sad emphasis which alter
events gave It; It now seems one of those eases of
prescience which so often arise to puzzle mental
philosophers.
Public Entertainments:
The theatrical profession have, as we are gratified
to say, displayed a keen sense of the odium attached
tdthat frightful and atrocious crime which, In the
brief spaoo of seme- twelve hours, converted the
whole of this great and toning people into one huge
. family of mourners. That It was, unfortunately,
committed by a man who was attached to that
profession—one whose father, although a foreigner,
had reaped to this country and upon our stage the
highest professional rewards from the good will and
bounty of those who acknowledged his genlns—one
whose brother was at ..the present moment closing
one of the lengthiest engagements which any
of our leading histrionic artists have ever had upon
the New York stage, and one who had himself
already stepped into a position behind the scones
which opened to him an avenue to future success of
the most positive class—can reflect no odium upon
tha t profession, as it ought not to reflect any upon
his family, although we fool convinced that it must
and will do so. For Edwin Booth, indeed,'we feel
the profenndest pity. That ho was a sincere Union -
man, we personally know. That he possessed talent
of a high order is equally certain. Yet, now, by the
dastardly crime of a brother, that name, whleh the
genlns of his father had rendered so Ulostrioms to
the annals of too stage, and of which his own talent
was conserving and advancing the reputation, Is
stamped with so foul a blemish that he must hence
forth be unable to appear under that name before the
public of the United . States. It may bo that he him
self would shrink from toeldeaof appearing ever
again before that public, laden with the dark
stigma attached to a brother’s criminal atrocity-
Possibly, when toe Immediate and bitter horror
whleh he must feel—and which must now render
him as unable to think and reason eaknly
as the mad wretch whose name he bears,
must have been at toe period of his committal of the
villainous murder which has consecrated the name
of the murdered Abraham Lincoln to us and to onr
children as the Martyr to onr stogie and undivided
nationality-—la somewhat past, he may apply to onr
Legislature for permission to put from him a name
stained and shattered by that wretch’s foul and
treasonous crime, Suffice it that we know not
what his course maybe, and that however keenly
we may sympathize with his suffering under the
terrible blow whleh has been inflicted upon his
family by one of themselves, we sympathize as fully
with toe popular determination that no man hear
ing toe name of the orlminal shall within onr life
times be permitted to appear before an American
audience.
In commencing this article, we said that we had
been gratified by seeing the line of conduct adopted
by the theatrical profession, and more especially by
the management of every theatre In the United
States. In doing so, we ought to comment strongly
upon the action, of Messrs. Grover & Sinn, the
managers of the Ohcßtaut-Btract Theatre In this
City and Grover’s in Washington. They have
offered individually the sum of fire hundred dollars
as a reward for the apprehension or the assassin.
Compared with the large reward offered by the Go
vernment,this may appear small, until we reflect
ttat the same amount, If individually offered by
every theatre now in operation in this country,
windd more than treble the Government reward)
It is the first positive ’proof of hhat genoral abhor,
rence in which the name dr John Wilkes Booth
must be held by the profession he has disgraced
rrftt. his brutal and fiendish slaughter of our
Father—Abraham Lincoln. As such we mention it
here-outweighing, as It does in point of fact, the
lip-sympathy, which, while often real and sub
atantlal, Is toooften a thing bf the moment, or very
possibly, in some measure, an affeotation of sharing
the national sorrow, which has been so profound and
absolute. '
The ftnpening of our theatres, after their close on
the receipt of the fearful Intelligence upon the
morning of Saturday week, is fixed for this evening
when Mrs. D. p. Bowers appears at the New Chest,
nut-street in an entirely new version of “ Camille.”

While at the Arch, Miss Charlotte Thompson will
make her first appearance this season as Alice, in
an adaptation from the German called “ Rich and

as good 8s its title, ought to create a legitimate sen
