LATE MEXICAN NEwS.-Late ad-
vices from Matamoras and Browns
Vile deny the statement that Gen.
Brown had sent Federal troops across
the Rio Grande to aid the Republic
ans of Mexico against the Imperial
lists. The rclqtions existing between
our troops and the Imperialists were
most amicable. The indications are
that on both sides strong military
establishments will be maintained

STICKING TO JEFF.-The correct
ness of the report of the meeting
held in New York by the friends of
jeff. Dvis, is denied. We are not
surprised. Even if the proceedings
were correctly reported, n,thing
would be more in keeping with the
purpose of the gentlemen than a
plump denial. But a meeting was
held. That is not denied. 1t is
creditable than otherwise that there
should be this exhib ton of fidelity
to the head traitor by a small band
Of followers. Nothing could be more
proper than that they should resolve
to see him decently hanged. Weare
sure no just minded man will be dis
posed to deny them this poor privil-
ege. We hope they will carry out
the resolution. The South has for
saken him, and his New York follow
ers who at every stage of the war
rendered the rebellion such import
ant service, owe it to themselves that
they stand by their fallen chief to
the end-of a rope.

THE PLAN OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The following brief account will give our
readers an idea Of the general plan Of the
campaign, and OF the operations resulting
III the evacuation of Petersburg and Rich
mond 1t is clear that Gen. Sheridan has
taken the brunt of the work on him, and
that he has added fresher wreath to the
laurels he won and wore in the Shenandoah
Valley. The task assigned him was moth
ing less than to turn the right flank of Lees
army. With that end in view, Sheridan
set out on Wednesday for Dinwiddie Court
house-a point far enough to the south and
west to insure him liberty to mancuver-
Through that place passes the Boydtown
PIank-road Beyond it to the northwest
is the White Oak Road, and on the Boyd
town Road just north of GravelIy Run are
the famous Five Forks, hereafter memor-
able as the scene of one of the decisive bat
ties of the Rebellion. AT this point the
Rebels had constructed an elaborate series
of works extending three miles, and COM
manding by the different roads there center
ing the approaches from the southwest to
the South-side Road. The position was the
key to Petersburg and so of Richmond
From Dinwiddie Court House, Sheridan
made several Intellectual attempts to move
up the Boydtown Road and to reach the
White Oak Road--in other words to get
in the rear of Lee and roll him up He tried
it little on Thursday, with no success. =
He tried it again on Friday with Warrcn's
Corps to help, and Jared no better than be-
fore In fact the result of Fridays battle
was a serious check, ,and the Fifth Corps un-
der Warrens handling suffered itself to be
driven from all the ground it ever gained
and its three Divisions were successively
thrust back toward Dnwiddie Sheridan
liked it 50 ILL., that he relieved Warren from
command and arranged for another effort
on Saturday with all the cavalry and the
whole Fifth Corps under his personal COM
mand. Griffin succeeded Warren in charge
of the Fifth
The action of Saturday was the real bat
tie of Five Forks and was the turning point
Of the campaign. Sheridan's plan is des-
cribed as masterly and its execution is no
less So The enemy, deluded into the be-
lief that they had to do with cavalry only,
held their ground and their intrenchments
till the Fifth had time to envelop them by
flanking movement 1t was not till the
trap was sprung that the Rebels found there
lcas trap, and then they found about six
thousand of their best soldiers shut up in
it. The Five Forks were carried, the White
Oak and BOydtown Roads were both gained,
large body of Redel infantry was cut off
from Lees main army, and at night Sheri-
dan was able to telegraph Gen. Grant that
he was in rear Of the Rebel lines and earth
works which protected the Southside Road.
Immediately came the general assault along
our whole Petersburg line, and everywhere
with the same success. The battle of Sun
day gave US Petersburg and Richmond
both, and sent Lees army hurrying toward

THE REBELLION CRUSHED,

The great events of the past few days
crowd upon each other The sanguinary,
but glorious victories at Petersburg, follow
ed by the evacuation of Richmond the flight
of LEES army, the rapid and relentless pur-
suit by GRANT, the battle at Burkesville, the
capture of thousands of prisoners, many Of
fcers and guns, bring LEE at bay near the
Appomattox river, and finally the series of
triumphs eliminating in the great achieve
ment of the war-THE SURRENDER BY LEE OF
THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA
Surely, there is abundant cause for the
wild enthusiasm, and the outburst of JOY
and congratulation which on Monday seized
upon the whole country The Rebel Capl-
tai in our possession the Confederate Co
vernment scattered and fed and the final
capitulation of the main army of the Re-
bellion. gives assurance that the conquer
ing arms of the Union will soon estaoilsh
peace, and that war will soon cease. For
there now remains of the Great Rebellion
but one formidable branch, and that is the
army of JOHNSTON We have no doubt that
before this, that army is environed IN the
tolls set for it and that its surrender is in
evitable.
To the God of Battles is due our heart
felt praise and thanksgiving. In His own
good time, He will deliver us from the bur-
dens which have pressed so heavily upon
us. If our deliverance has been slow, His
judgments are perfect, and we shall come
out of the furnace purified, to attain to a
higher degree of civilization, to greater
prosperity and honor as nation.

HoN. EDWIN NJ. STANTON .Secyetqryof Var:
SIR-In your letter of the 18th of March v--
asked whether under the act of Congress entls.
" An Act to amend the several Acts heretof1.
passed to provide for the enrolling and calling
the National forces and for other purpose. AZ
proved Sd March, the Provost Marshal General :
required to change the present quotas i'll tie I--.
ding draft by reason of corrections III the enrol.
ment made since their assignment.
In the 18th Section of the Act. tits enacted II.
where any revised enrolment in any Congress.
al or draft district has been obtained or made u.
or to any actual drawing OF names from the enr !,
ment lists, the quota OF such district may he d.
lusted and appOrtioned to such revised enrollme-.
instead of being applied to or based upon tie Il.
rollment, as it may have stood before the reys.-
1t will be perceived that the language OF this ,.
ton Is in the past tense and properly so, thou
referring to future and existing enrolment L
enrolment must ever proceed any action under L.
section. 1t therefore right to speak otthc T..
rollment as past fact, as something that has be-!
done. Regarding the section by itself a.
as unaffected by other claims in the statute it r.
plies as well to any future as to any existing Il.
rollment.
But at the time of enactment. there was al d
rollment and pending draft under a call for add.
tonal troops, and this appears from the prura
10Th and 27th section. 1t is provided in T.
section that the rule of credits fixed therein IL
not apply to the pending call and i'll the :.
section it is - Proci1ed That nothing therein CO
tanned shall operate to postpone the pending dTt
or interfere with the quotas assigned therefor.
Neither of these provisos can be regarded as =
pugnant to the 18th section. They do nothi-
more than to prevent construction OF the Act tn
would change the rule of credits as to the pell-.
draft or that would postpone it, ortha. would ntr
tere with the quotas assigned for the present C.
pending draft shall not be interfered with IT,
could not have been done in the enacting par,
Of the statute, but may be MS aptly done in II
Visos.
Now, If the corrections provided for in the 49,
section are made to apply to the present draft i--
quotas as assigned therefor will he interfsred vii
Ihls Is what Congress has said shall not be dom
After the pending draft, the provisos will have .
formed their Office, and all future drafts mus
made subject to the rules prescribed in the Act.
am therefore of the opinion that the Proves
Marshal General is not required to change the pr
ent quotas in the pending draft, by reason Of cor
rections in the enrolment made since their ASSN
ment.
am Sir,
Very respectfully your obedient servant

prosecuted the latter beyond all measure,
barbarously prosecuted them. The gov
ernment owed these prosecuted loyal men
but could not extend it to them,
and they were compelled, for her sake, to
bear untold sufferings in consequence -
Now if we allow the rebels to come back
again, without imposing any restrictions,
they will again be in the ascendancy, and
they will continue the persecution of the
loyal citizens And is this the way to re-
ward fidelity to the government, that no
vindctiveness could shake This would
not only be injustice, and ingratitude com
bined, bnt il would be grossly wicked and
such u wickedness as the government shall
not dare not commit No, no. let those
who have broken the laws, and attempted
to destroy the government, stand back and
allow the loyal and the true, to administer
Justice. Let them be the repositories OF
civil authority, for they alone have shown
themselves worthy. This will be doing
right. 1t will be Furnishing the wicked far
less than they deserve, and rewarding, on
ly in a measure, the patriotism of those
who stood faithful to the government, when
it cost something to do this. Less punish
ment than this cannot be extended to the
rebels and no less reward for fidelity to
the government will any one think of Civ
ing to the faithful union men of the rebel
states.
