SHERMAN'S ARMY.
Num- Der OF Men Surrendered..Names
OF Generals.

New YORK, April 3O.-The Herald's
Newbern correspondence, 9th, says the
lamentations of Sherman's army over the
assassination of President Lincoln are sud-
denly changed to rejoicing at the appear
ance of Gen. Grant.
The terms granted Johnston embrace in
the surrender four armies of tho Military
Division of the West, but excluding the
fifth, that of Dick Taylor, lying west of
the Ohattahootchie River.
Among the Generals surrendered is
Beauregard. The principal among the
Lieutenant Generals is Hardee. Bragg,
lately relieved of command, was not sur.
rendered. Wade Hampton refused to be
surrendered, and is repol ted to have been
shot by Johnston in an alteration but a
more trustworthy report is that be fed in
company with Davis
The number actually surrendered is
27,400, although mere names are given.
All the militia from South Carolina, North
Carolina, Georgia and the Gulf States are
included.
Gen. Grant returned to Washington on
Saturday.

Friday was not an act of clemency to q
distinguished rebel in Canada who wished
to escape to England. Mr.. Seward and
the President were full of bringing back
eight millions of Americans in their own
way as citizens of the Republic.
The war is over! Johnston will give
up to Sherman; Foster to Thomas, and
Kirby Smith to Candy. The rebellion is
dead! No rebel dare endorse the assassf-
nation. If be does, may God have mercy
on bis soul, for if these insurgent chiefs
still bid defiance, whirlwind of Northern
men will sweep them from the face of the
earth.
presidents may die bat government is
eternal"
There is volume of truth in the motto
in front of your building. Don't cavil /;
don't sneer; don't say that Mr.. Lincoln
was too gentle; that he was too forgiving;
but stand by General Grant and the gov
eminent.
I was sorry to see from the steps of the
New York Custom House, General Mark
Anthony shake the soiled and bloody gar
ments of the dead Cesar in the face of the
populace, in order 10 enfame the passions
of the people already overweight by an
guish and despair! I remember a cele.
brated order to his army that looked like
censure of the Oommander-in Chief,
Grants terms to Lee were endorsed by the
President. Are these humane terms to
be overruled at the cry of party or the
wall of those who still are crying for more
blood? God forbid!
To-day the demagogue who caters to the
applause of the moment, speaks like this
--(Vide, some of the recent speeches in
New York;:
Hang Davis-[O Cheers land all his hell
ish Cabinet. [Cheers] Hang Lee and
his treacherous staff. CCheers.1 Yes,
CONTINUES the ephemeral orator, who
would commit any act for the passing
cheer say, hang the Major Generals and
Brigadiers. Loud cheers. Shall we stop
here? Tories of "No!" Men when ex-
cited are demons.] Then hang the COL
onels and Captains. [Continued cheers,
hats moving, and great excitement ] And
as the women of the South are bewitched
by their clergy into a fanaticism of hate
against the North, I say, let Us clean them
all out, until treason is no more. Excited
cheers
What is the result of such language en-
anating from the pulpit Listen to the
click of the needle from the pacific shore {:
Another press broke up in San Francisco !;
such a journal smashed up in Maryland,
&C., &c. Is this emulatiDg the goodness
of our dead? Praise him one moment,
and the next do things that would make
him shudder. Those who stood by Mr..
Lincoln when he was alive have no right
to forsake bin now that he is dead.
These are some of the thoughts that
were passing in my mind while standing in
the East Room.

WASHINGTON, April E6.-The sde-wheeler
Massachusetts, Capt. Conch, while bound down
to Fortress Monroe on Sunday night with some
800 soldiers from Alexandria who were to be
returned to their regiments, colided with the
propeller Black Diamond off Blackstone's Is
land, on the Potomac River. The Massachu-
sets was badly damaged, her bows being stove
in near the water line, and the soldiers on
board of her thinking that she was to sink, o
large number of them sprang over her sides,
and succeeded in getting on board the Black
Diamond, which had hauled up to render as
sistance, it being supposed at the time by the
Captain of the Diamond, that the Massachu
sets was the only vessel that had sustained
damage. Unfortunately, the Diamond had
been struck amidship, which caused her to take
in water rapidly, and she went down in q few
minutes after the soldiers had got on board of
her. Sixty-six of the crew of the Massachu-
sets and four of the crew of the Black Dia.
mond are missing, and it is believed they were
all drowned. Last night Capt. Allen dispatched
a steam propeller down the river to the scene
of the disaster, with men and hooks on board,
to search for the bodies of those supposed to be
lost. The Massachusetts, after the Black Dia-
mond went down. succeeded in reaching Point
Lookout in safety, where she landed the re
mainder of her troops.

PRINCETON, AILLK LAC, Co., MIN,
April Is, 1865.
To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
take pleasure in calling your attention,
and through your journal, the attention of your
many readers to the prompt and honorable
manner in which the Home Insurance Com.
pany of st. Paul settles and pays its losses.
Last June I insured my property with this
Company, having satisfied myself that it was
responsible and conducted by honorable men,
with no idea however of ever having to call on
the Company for cent. But on the 25th of
March last my house took fire in some unac-
countable manner. and with the most of its
contents was burned to the ground. On the
property destroyed there was an insurance in
the Home of st. Paul to the amount of $3.50.
and to-day the general agent, w. A. Wells,
called on me, and after an investigation of the
circumstances of the fire, paid me the full
amount of my insurance with said Company.
am informed that promptness is always the
course pursued by this Company, and that it
has never litigated single claim. Such home
company ia worthy of our patronage and sup.
port. especially as it insures only first class
property. I am, as ever, yours respectfully,
d&w-1t JOHN KINES.

April Is, 1866. I
Mr.. EDITOR-I take this method of recon-
mendiping to the farming and stock-raising
community the promptness of the Rochester In.
surance Company in the payment of its losses
On the 18th day of April sustained loss, of
which loss I duly notified the company. To-
day the gentlemanly agents, Il. NJ. Beals and
E. T. Evans, called upon me, and adjusted my
loss, and paid 1t in full. take pleasure in
making public the promptness of this company
in the payment of losses, and the honor and
business which characterizes the agents doing
business for the company, who manifest the
same earnestness and attention in the ad-
justment and payment of losses, as they
do in their persevering and untiring
efforts in soliciting applications. Knowing
that the business of this company is conduct
ed on safe and sound basis and by efficient
officers, and that justice will be done to all
who avail themselves of the advantages
this company affords over other companies, by
effecting insurance on Live Stock against death.
I feel it my duty to make this statement to
stock owners In particular, being confident
that it is for their interest to insure their stock
The Rochester Insurance Company affords you
this opportunity, and cheerfully call your e.
pecial attention to this department of insurance,
as it fully meets the wants of the farming COM
munity. ]. L. CARRICK.

FROM TEXAS,
Terms offered and Rejected What
the Rebels Hope.

NEW YORK, May 1.-The Houston (Tex-
as) Telegraph publishes the details of a
conference between Gen. Ssoughton, the
rebel, and Gen. Lew Wallace, in which the
former demands, in case of the surrender
OF the rebel forces in Texas, protection to
slave property, vindication of the Monroe
doctrine, and the establishment of q proc
torate of Mexico.
A letter from the rebel Maj. Gen. Walk
or, however, shows that the terms offered
were that they must lay down their arms,
take the oath Of allegiance. and accept such
terms of amnesty, pardon or exile, as the
United States government should grant.
These terms the rebel major general indig-
nantly rejects, claiming that with 800, 900
men yet in the field the rebels can achieve
their independence.

AMONG the arrivals in town Monday,
we notice Bishop Farrand, on his way from
France to his distant mission in the extreme
north of British America. The extensive do.
cese of st. Boniface having been divided, the
northern part comprised between the 57th and
18th degrees of latitude running west to the
Russian possessions, and containing the large
district of Athabaska and Mackenzie River has
been recently constituted by the Pope into an
apostolical vicariate. Rev. Mr. Farrand was
selected to preside over the destinies of the
new vicaration, and to obtain missionaries to
help him in his arduous labors.
He had, previous to his appointment as
Bishop, toiled in those remote parts for nine
teen years In the capacity of a simple priest.
When he passed by St. Paul on his first jour.
ney north, q few shanties marked the site of
the future capital of Minnesota. He must find
that towns do not spring up so rapidly on the
banks of the Mackenzie as on those of the Mis-
sissippi
he himself intends residing principally at
Lake Athabasca. Among the missions already
opened, one is among the Esquimaux at Fort
Good Hope, on the Mackenzie, 9th degree OF
north latitude; there is another among the saw
ages on the Russian line. With the help of
the missionaries, who now accompany him, he
expects to establish several other missions at
various points. He reports the prospect of
Christlanizing those people as f1attering. The
courage and z,al, however, of the good mis-
sionarles are severely tasked, The cold Il in
ense; 1t Is extremely difficult to pass from one
post to another They subsist exclusively on
fish and meat One Of the priests died q year
ago at Fort Good Hope, and in the heat of the
fever he would peg Tor q potato, believing that
the taste OF sucn oencious food would revive
him. =
There are now four Catholic Bishops in the
northwestern British possessions: Bishon
Tach, at Fort Garry; Bishop Grandin. At tSe
Island of Ia Crosse; Bishop Farrand. at lac
Athabasca; and another enc in British Coium
bia, Rocky Mountains.
