FORTRESS MONROE, April 2Z.-Advices
from Newbern state that large numbers Of
the members Of the North Carolina Legisla.
ture. were in session there on the 18th inst,
for the purpose Of negotiating with sher-
man, with view TO the restoration Of that
State to the Union. Lieut.. General Grant
arrived at Fortress Monroe this p. NJ, on
the steamer Martha Washington, from Wash
ington, and proceeded southwark on the
steamer Alhambrr.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Tho terms on
which Gen. Sherman proposed to receive
the surrender of Johnston's army have pro-
yoked vast amount Of comment here, and
n universal censure. The report from Nash.
of Sherman, has added to the feeling. The
Washington and New York journals of to-
day are very decided in their structures. A
gentleman who has just reached here from
Raleigh, Expresses the opinion that john
s,on will yet surrender on the same terms
Grant gave Lee. This evenings Republic
Gun is expected to announce that the state
ment in the New York press, telegraphed
from this city, that President Johnston 10
about to re-organire his cabinet is without
the slightest foundation in truth.
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
April Oath, 1855.
To Major General Dix:
A dispatch from General Sherman states
that Wilson had Macon on the goth inst,
had Howell Cobb, G. W. Smith and others
as prisoners, but that they claimed the ben
sfts of the armistice, and has telegraph.
ed to mo through the rebel lines for orders.
I have answered him that he may draw out
Of Macon, and hold his command for further
orders, unless he has reason to believe tho
rebels are changing their status to our pref
udice.
The department has information that the
Presidents murder was originated in Can
aea and approved in Richmond. One of the
assnssins now in prison, who attempted to
kill Secretary Seward, Is believed to be one
Of the st. Adams raiders.
(Signed) e. NJ STANTON,
Secretary OF War.
New YORK, April 25.--The Worlds Wash.
ington special, says advices received here
to-day direct from Raleigh, state that the
conference Sherman and Johnston, took
place at Chappell Hill, some fifteen miles
vest of Raleigh.
Johnston's army, composed Of about 3d.
900 men, including Hamptons and Whee-
lsr's cavalry, lay thirty miles from the city
on the road running to Charlotte. At the
second interview, Breckinridge, the Rebel
Secretary Of War; was present and partici-
patcd in drawing up the already published
memoranda of terms of captulation Du-
ring the conversation he freely admitted
the failure of the rebellion, and declared
that peace was almost at hand, and alluding
70 the constitutional amendment, said that
il was strictly the legal way Of abolishing
slavery, and he predicted it's ratification by
more than two-thirds Of the States.
II was understood that during this con-
ference, which lasted two days, jeff Davis
was at Hislsboro, ahd in telegraphic COM
munioation with Breckinridge at General
Johnston headquarters.
New YORK, April 25.--It is said the e1-
change of 5000 Union soldiers at Darien,
Ga., which, it is supposed, has taken place
by this time, will scarcely leave any of our
men in the hands of the rebels. There still |
remain in the hands of the Government be-
tween 10000 and 10000 rebel troops, be-
sides these paroled under the terms of Lees
surrender.

information from Sherman's army of an |
important character. 1t appears that in |
J Johnston's FIRST letter TO Sherman, he pro-
posed the surrender Of his army on the same
terms Lee surrendered.
A meeting was arranged at which Wade
ia npton was present He protested against
the terms of surrender, and declared he
would not surrender his cavalry forces sup
posed to be only about 1000 strong. There
fore, Sherman consented to delay for the
pur pose Of giving Johnston and Hampton
an opportunity to consult Davis.
another meetingswas arranged for the
nez day; on this day the parties again met
and at the the first sitting the remarkable
or basis OF agreement was pre-
SEQ led and at once signed. The Herald's
