The War News-shermnn Advance

New York, April 15.-The Herald GoldsbO-
70 correspondence says Shermans army made
its advance on the 9th, moving in three columns
under Howard Slocum and Schofeld. During
the reloicings of the news of Richmond, Sher-
man was called out by his troops and he address,
ed few words to them, saying he was informed
that Richmond had been captured and Lee was
flying in dismay. He said Grant wrote him he
was pursuing Lee, and he hoped he (Sberman, ]
would press Johnston (which, said Sherman
"I'Il think we'll do" The soldiers cried, "We
will, we will" Sherman told his men that he
did not mean to let johnson have any rest.
johnson has evacuated Raleigh, moving west
and leaving the town in possession of Hampton
Cavalry On the evening of the 10TH a small
force of Howard's mounted infantry were attack
ed by some rebel cavalry, who, however, were
soon dispersed, with the loss of 100 men and
two pieces of artillery.
Washington, April 17.-mformation has been
received by the Government from General Sher-
man that he was in communication with Gener-
al johnson with view TO the surrender of the
latter. General Sherman would offer the same
terms that General Grant did to General Lee
and it was supposed they would be accepted.
Fortress Monroe, April I6.-The steamer
ADMIRAL Dupont arrived yesterday afternoon
from Morehead City, North Carolina, and
brought advices from General Sherman S forces.
General Sherman having left GoldsbOro in his
rear at once struck out for Johnson's army bO-
ping to force him to give battle. johnson how
ever, keeps retreating and it appears Sherman
has met with very little resistance to his march
north Raleigh was captured last Thursday
with but very little loss in fighting and that
confined principally to cavalry and skirmish-
ing between the advance pickets of both forces.
Supplies for General Sherman's army are all
centered near Roanoke Island and vessels lying
at anchor there are awaiting orders of his Chief
Commissary

ADDRESS of PRESIDENT JOHNSON To
A DELEGAT OF CIERGYMEN

Washington, April lS.-To an address by a
number of fclergymen, who called on him to-day,
the President replied thanking them in the
kiDdest terms, for their very kind mention OF
him, and for their tender of support and encour-
agement. He spoke with feeling of the great
personal and public worth Of his lamented
predecessor. Assuming the grave responsible
tiles imposed upon him. in obedience to the re-
quirements of the Constitution, in consequence
of this sad dispensation of Providence he felt
his own individual insufliciency, and the neces-
sity of the kind counsels and co-operation of all
friends of their country. This support, he
should endeavor to deserve by shaping his
course to those immutable principles of right
which underlie our Government.
He said he had sure faith that if he adhered
to those principles the Almighty would save
the nation. He believed that the nation had a
great mission TO perform; and that God would
not allow it to perish before its work was done.
They had alluded TO the murder of the late
President and to the attempt upon the life Of
Mr.. Seward in Just terms of indignation and
horror. The assassination of any man high or
low, was a crime of the blackest dye; especially
diabolical' was il when the blow was struck at
the loved and hOnored head of great nation in
the very moment of triumph; but this terrible
crime was only a portion of the greatest OF
crimes, the attempted assassination of nation;
he believed that the American people felt it 10
be so. Treason, he said, was a crime and not a
mere difference of political opinion. The Pres
ident closed by again thanking his visitors for
giving him at this hour their God speed

sKINC LINCOLN,

Ourreaders will recollect what cry the Cop
perheads raised some two years since, when a
company of men, one hundred strong, was
raised and sent to Washington to guard the
President against assassination and capture
king Lincoln, . Lincoln endeavoring to ini-
tate Royalty, - ''The foundations of Republi-
can Liberty being undermined, I" and much oi
such stuff, were published by them to preju-
dice the people against him. Mr.. Lincoln per-
mitted the raising of this company against his
own inclinstion, to please his friends, but he
never heartily acquiesed in their presence, and
never permitted but few to accompany him al
time, and finally be generally went from one
part of the city to another without being ac-
companied by any of them. If be had taken
two or three of them to the theatre with him
his life night have yet been spared. No class
of men knew better than these same Copper.
heads the necessity for guard for the Presi-
dent, and the hue and cry they raised against
it was to bring about the very result that hal
taken pIace-tbe death of the President.

xrRAHAm LIscoLN DEAD.

On Saturday morning, April 18th, the terri.
bic news was flashed over the wires that tn,
President had been shot by an assassin, aboui
10 o'clock the evening previous. and that al
attempt had also been made ON the life of Sec.
retary Seward At nine the telegraph inform
ed us that abraham Lincoln died at y min
utes past 7 O'Clock At first there was an al
most universal refusal to credit the awful tale.
But repeated dispatches at length compelled
belief. At any time the shock would have
been terrible; but immediately succeeding the
reioicings of Friday, it seemed almost beyond
the power of the human heart to endure. Not
in this generation has such day of gloom
brooded over the people of the United States.
No event of the war, however calamitous has
been able to ill the heart of the nation with
such anguish All men, a few of the most ma
Ignant Copperheads excepted, had learned to
love and trust Abraham Lincoln. 1t may be
truly said the people believed in him, as they
have believed in no man since George Wash
ington. The death of the President is mourn
ed as that of a personal friend. The land has
been filled with sorrowful hearts by the fearful
crime, and the public grief has found express
ion in every form fitted to that end.
But putting aside thepersonal feelings which
the calamity excites, we are compelled TO ask
with anxious hearts what it portends to our be-
loved country At first the hearts of all were
cast down with depth of gloom almost of de-
spair We ask who now shall be able to lead
this people to the promised land of peace,
which seemed Just in sight? Where shall an
other man ocalm, so honest, SO kind, so potent,
so deliberate, so careful, SO wise, be found
We are afraid TO trust any man with the vast in
terests that are now at stake. We felt safe with
Mr.. Lincoln; we shall feel equally safe with nc
other man till we have tried him. But let us
remember that God lives, the same God who
has brought us thus far through this terrible
war. Let us remember also that this calamity
E does not aid the rebels. A rebel General said
on hearing of it that it was the severest blow
the Confederacy had yet received, and so it is.
If the people of the Free States had any hesi-
tation about the necessity of wiping out the last
vestige of the rebellion and slavery, the twin
DEMONS WHICH nave PiOuuOeu eh-s awful OiAAhea
they have none now.
But we win write no further now We have
not the heart to do more than express the bitter
sorrow with which this calamity has Overwhelm-
ed us, and to say to every patriot, let the men,
ory of the great and good President abide with
you, and prompt you to stand by the Flag till
the last rebel is disarmed, till slavery is blOtted
out, and true and lasting peace shall dawn
upon the land

0rR NEW PREsIpENT.

The reader viii find in another place the pro-
ceedings of inaugursting President Johnson
The address of our new President is all that
could be desired, and we have no fears but that
he will fulfil his duties to the interests of the
Republic and with honor 10 himself, Presi-
dent johnson is as thoroughly loyal man
as was President Lincoln. He is as thoroughly
impressed with the necessity for the total extinc-
ton of Slavery as was President Lincoln. His
integrity and honesty have never been ques-
TUNED In these respects we are confident the
country viii not be disappointed in him. But
we do not expect him to make so able Presi-
dent as was Mr. Lincoln. We believe no man
could; vet we believe he viii make better
President than any we have had since jackson
with this exception. He deserves our conf
denee and support and let every loyal man
meet this out to him to the fullest extent. The
Copperhead press and the knights of the Col
den Circle, who have been traducing Mr.. Lin
coin by charging him with being tyrant a vii
lian, murderer, DC, and as being deserving of
death, and who have finally succeeded in obtain
ing his assassination, will soon open their bat
teries of vituperation and treason against the
new President The late victories to the I'm
ion arms will make them little more eau
tious, but the snake will still hiss, and when
opportunity offers as in the case of Mr.. Lincoln,
they viii cowardly strike from behind. Then
let every loyal man stand shoulder to shoulder,
pledged TO the maintainence of the Union and
Freedom, and give their warmest and undivi-
ded support to the new President whom, we
have no doubt, viii not disappoint in our
reasonable ezrpectations

General Burnside on Amdrew johnson.

General Burnside was accosted this morning
in William street by some friends who chanced
toremember that during the General western
command he was brought into intimate contact
with Andrew johnson, then military governor
of Tennessee, and must, therefore, know much
about the character of the citizen who, by the
death of Mr.. Lincoln, suddenly becomes the
head of the nation.
General Burnside was therefore asked: "Can
we trust Andrew Johnson2 Is he drunkard,
as has been said?'' The General replied; 81
know Mr.. johnson we'll. He was military
governor of East Tennessee when | command
ed in the West. For some time he was in Lou
isvilIe and Cincinnati, where / met him at all
hours of the day and night and in most inn
portant consultations and | can say that new
er saw him taste liquor of any kind, and meyer
saw him when L thought he had tasted liquor.
He was no drunkard then. In my opinion, he
is firm, loyal and talented statesman. ~.

THE AssAssINs.

1t has now been ascertained that the assas-
sination Of the President, Vice President, and
the heads of all the Departments has long been
contemplated. Evidence also aceumnlates that
the plan was concocted by the rebels at Rich
mond and the leaders of the Knights of the
Golden Circle in the North Revelations made
at Washington show that over sixty persons
were employed to assist in the murderous en-
terprise. Several arrests have been made,
among others man by the name of Surratt,
who is believed TO be the assassin of Mr.. Sew
ard and those who were with him
The man who murdered Mr.. Lincoln is well
known. His name is J. Wilkes Booth, the
atrical actor, and is ayoung man of slender
form, nervous and wiry. He is reported to
have been venomous Copperhead and warm
supporter of Mcclellan for the Presidency
he has not yet been arrested, and fears are en-
tertained that he has escaped to Moseby guer-
rillas.
A man has been arrested in Baltimore for be-
