THE OCCUPATION CT RALEIGH.
NEW YORK, April 26.
The Tribune has letters from Raleigh
giving an account of the occupation of the
town.
AS soon as our army commenced NOV
ing the rebels began the evacuation
Wheeler's cavalry remained in possession
till Fitzpatrick approached. One of his
men, who remained to get a shot at our
men, was taken and hung. Fitzpatrick was
met by the Mayor of the city, who
desired to surrender it, and asked protec-
for the people and property. Protection
was granted, and the occupation was made
without opposition. The flag Of the 9th
Ohio Cavalry was the first fsg hoisted
from the State House. Guards were sta
toned to prevent pillsging. The Offices
of the Confederate and Conservative were
destroyed by mob OF soldier, but the
Standard and Progress were rot disturbed.
Tho rebels burned the Central Railroad
station before leaving, to prevent large
quantity of corn from falling into cur
hands. In the city there was very little
property injured. Nothing was known in
the army concerning the terms of the ar
mistice between Sherman and Johnston,
but it was generally understood that the
war had ended.
Before leaving Raleigh, Hsrdee said that
if Lee had surrendered, and he had nc
doubt of it, any further slaughter of men
in battle was only murder. He was be-
lieved to express Gen. JOhnston's opinion
on this.
A meeting was held some time since, 81
the Capitol by officers of the old army o
the Tennessee, to arrange committee Il
organize q brotherhood that shall NEE
once s year in st. Louis. The 18th o
April is to be the day chosen, and General
Logan and Blair are to be the leading
spirits.
