FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March 29.
The Tribt9le's Washington special SAYS
the following is just issued by the Provost
Marshal General;
The 23d section of the act approved
March 3, 1865, provides that any person
enrolled in any sub-disirict may, after no
tice of the draft, and before the same shall
have taken place, cause to be mustered into
the service of the United States such Bum-
Der of recruits not subject to draft as they
may deem expedient, which recruits shall
be taken as substitutes for such persons, or
so many of them ss may be drafted, to the
extent of the number of such recruits, and
in the order designated by the principals at
the time such recruits are thus mustered in.
In order that credit may be given to the
sub-district for recruits furnished, and the
draft be made duly for the deficiency re-
naming after crediting and other recruits,
it is necessary that all the members of the
association shall belong to the same sub
district previous to the commencement of
the draft. The association will furnish
the roVost Marshal of the district q
list of the names of its members, designated
by their orders and numbers accordingly,
which list will not be altered or increased
after the drawing shall have commenced.
When the draft has been made, the recruit
standing at the head of the list Will be taken
as substitute of the first man drafted who
belongs to the association; the recruit
standing second on the list will be taken aE
substitute of the second man drafted, and
so on until The list of recruits is exhausted
by drafted men who belong to the asso5ia-
ton, or till all members Of the association
who have been drafted are exempt. Where

GERMAN 0PERA.-A SEASON OF SIX NIGHTS.
All lovers Of music in Cleveland, and,
indeed, throughout Northern Ohio, will
learn with enthusiasm that Mr.. Grover has
determined to extend the season of German
Opera in this city to six nights. The sea-
son will commence, as announced, on Mon
day evening next, and will continue during
the week. We trust that Cleveland will do
credit TO her reputation for musical taste
by extending to this company a worthy
welcome. None ever deserved one more,
Indeed, this company is the largest, with
out exception, ever organized in this
country, and more than twice larger than
any which has ever visited the West. It
numbers over one hundred persons, with a
chorus thirty four strong, and an
orchestra of twenty -four performers. And
it is useless to say to those familiar with
operatic matters that Mr.. Growers COM
psny excels the troupes that have visited
the West in all other details as much as in
point Of size. We need not refer to the
long list of tenors, bsssos, and prime donne,
which comprise the leading singers of the
company, including the sweet voiced
Habelmann, Tamaro, well known to Clevs-
landers, the unrivalled Hermanns, the vete-
ran Kari Formes, and others whose successes
in every leading city of the country have
established their fame as first class artists.
Their names are guarantee that the vo-
calizatiOn of the company will be superior
to anything yet given in Cleveland, while
the simple of Carl Anschutz
as Conductor, removes all doubt as to the
character of the orchestral accompaniment.
In all the rsinutie Of dress, properties and
scenery, every opera will be produced as
perfectly as in New York city. EDery ops-
ra viH be rendered entire, and none will be
produced more than once.
The expenses of the company exceed one
thousand dollars aday. Only yliberal patron
age, therefore, will reimburse the manage
ment. We are confident that 80 meritori-
GUS company viii receive from our oiti-
zens the support which they deserve. In
Pittsburg, where the company now are,
they are drawing immense houses. We
hope Cleveland may equal her sister city.
The subscription sale opens this morning
at ten o'clock, at Brsinard's Music store,
instead Of the box-ofice of the Academy,
as previously announced. To-day and TO-
morrow, seats will be for sale for the entire
season, for the irst three nights, or for
three alternate nights, commencing with
the first or second opera. On Saturday
the operas for the first three night will be
announced, and the sale of tickets for any
particular night will be commenced. Lei
there be q big subscription to-day.

FROM NOhTH CAROLINA.

AoRKHEAD, n. o., March 26.
A member of the North Carolina Leg
islature, from Pasquotank county, Alr.
Grsmsy, has Just reached his home from
Raleigh for the purpose of taking the oath
of allegiance to the United States. He
says 1hnston's forces, all told, will not
number more than half of ShermanIs ar
my, and that the combined armies of Lee
and Johnston will not outnumber the
armies of Sherman and Schofeld.
He also states that the present Legisla-
ture of this state openly admits that there
is no possible hope for the Confederacy to
succeed, and that they have met under
rebel auspices for the last time. he thinks
if johnson makes a stand it will be at Rolls
vile, six miles northeast of Raleigh, as
that place though it does not cover Ra-
leigh, is q position Of great nstiona-
strength.
The people form all sections of Mort b
Carolina we're b inging great pressure to
bear upon the State authorities in favor
Of submission, and to return to the Unior
If Governor Vance can be brought over,
who now msnifests 8 desire to yield,
Raleigh is to be surrendered to Sherman
with this understanding.
The proposition of Lee and Dsvis tc
arm the slaves, thereby demorslizing and
making them a dangerous element, has
made slavery odious TO its former support
ers, who generally concede that they must
bs made free in order TO be soldiers.
1t now appears that the rebel President
is endesvoring to obtain peace through the
State authorities. He is willing to unite
with the North in foreign war under the
old flag.
The Raleigh Standard intimates thst
terms will be offered which will bring
them under one flag in foreign war o
consequence, and thus avenge the joint In
iuries both parties have received.
Most of Shermsn's men are in possession
of captured horses.
General Sherman came through from
Goldsboro to Newbern yesterday, on hi
way to Fort Monroe. When he comei
back Governor Vance and JEFF. Davis vii
ascertain what kind of a peace they ar,
to have.

How rambo View It.

The Raleigh Standard disposes of the
proposition to arm the negroes, in the fol-
lowing suppositious collloquy between mas
ter and slave:
Msster-Well, Sam, the white men are
not able to whip the Yankees, and we want
you to help US.
Ssm-Golly, master, Whist got to do
wild it? No fight o'mine. De Mort want
to make me free Niger, and de Souf want
to make me free Niger, and l spec 1 be
killed fore its done wid.
Master-0h nc, Sam, you must fight for
your country. General Lee says you
must.
Sam-Bress de Lord, master, Sam gotno
country here. Sans country In Africa,
Sam had no power TO declar' war. De
good book says, master, dat de nations dat
declsr' war must do so afore God, and fight
in His name. Eff dey don't do so, He'll
turn deaf ear unto 'em, and cuss 'em.
Oars two sorts of wars, master-God's
wars and de Devils wars. Ef Sam can't
declar war like the white man dsts got q

The U. s. steamer Transport, from
Beaufort, n. c., brings one days later in
telligence from Goldsboro-to the 24th.
A correspondent of the Newbern Times
gives the details Of Sherman's two battles.
Both battles on the part Of the rebels,
were planned by General Joe Johnston,
and in both Gases he took the precaution
TO rest each of his Asnks on stream. He
made seven charges en- paSse in his endavors
to force our lines but failed. Els loss was
severe in each charge.
A Newbern letter of the 25th states that
Sherman has gone to Fort Monroe.
MAUTANGA BRIDGE, Tenn March 25, I

The forces under command of Major
General StonemAn, have in their rapid sd-
vance already uncovered one hundred
uiles of railroad, and are driving the scat
tered troops of the enemy in confusion be-
fore them.
General Stonemsn will soon strike the
enemy where they least expect if, and
probably when this dispatch reaches New
York the Richmond papers will already

At the first board cash stocks was press
ed for sale, but freely taken.
Stock market heavy and lower at second
board, with strong pressure. The fall this
afternoon was assisted by the rumor that
Grant and Lee were negotiating peace.
There was an increased demand for Gov

Coal and miscellaneous shares all heavy

Gold speculation opened weak but grad

Cash gold has not yet become plenty and
is still worth I per cent. Fluctustions TO-

tween the two extremes, is but per cent.
The ease in money is steadily increasing,

Foreign exchange is also quiet, as usual,

works at Hanes Hill, capturing the officers
of artillery, eight mortsrs, and between 500
and 900 prisoners, among them one Brigs-
dier General and number of officers of
lower grades. The lines were swept for q
distance of four or FIVE hundred yards to
right and lefs, and two efforts were made to
recover the works, which were handsomely
repulse1; but it was found that the enclos-
ed works in the resr, commanding the
enemys main line could only be taken at q
terrible sacrifice of life, and thetroops were
withdrawn to their original position.
1t being impracticable to take OF the
captured guns, owing 10 the nature of the
ground, they were disabled and left.

The Commercials Montreal special says
the raiders were refused to be surrendered
on the ground of belligerant rights. Judge
Smith held that the treaty was no longer
binding on the contracting parties as the
United States refuse to recognize the bel

also held that General Dix's order to shoot
them down recognized the raiders as bel
ligerants and not robbers. The raiders
were remanded till Saturday on the second
charge of assault with intent to murder.
They were also srraigned on the charge of
violating the neutrality laws.
