Last Sunday, Rev. Henry Ward1Beeche1
preached q sernon On the death Of President
Lincoln, from the 4ih and 5th verses Of the
34th chapter Of Deut., In which he proved
that the assassination Of President Lincoln
was but the expiring blow of the rebellion /;
that 1t VAS aimed at the life Of the Govern
ment and the nation; that It had slgnally
failed, and that Abraham Lincoln, though
dead, had been clothed by the event with new
influence. Tie following WAS Alr. Bcscher's
peroration

ounSTON-DAV1S
Further advices from North Carolina seem
to deepen rather than dispcl the mystery
resting over shesman's singular negotiation,
It now appears that Johnston's first letter to
Gen. Sherman proposed surrender of his
aruy On tue same terms that Lee su,rcn.
dered.
We see no other way OF accounting for the
course pursued by Sherman than to suppose
his Imagination became 40 excited over Tie
proposition Of an entire surrender OF all the
Confederate armies, that he was tempted to
overlook the terms on which they should sn:-
render. His general order announcing TINT
the surrender Of Johnston would restore
peace "from the Potomac to the Rio G ;ande'
shows that this was the all absorbing idea In
his mind This view, however, in no degree
mltigates the blunder, as. it must have been
apparent to Gen. Sherman that 1t would be
quite ~ easy to secure the surrender Of kir-
by Smiths and Of Dick Taylo:'s remaining
aim!cs from their commanders as from JEFF
Davis, BFcckfnsidge aud Johnston. Indeed,
IL is doubtful II Taylor ard Smith would nav
much attention to stipulations for the sur
rfnder Of their armies about which they WIRE
not consulted, and entered into by Davis and
Breckinridgc solely in order to ret away with
a heavy fortune Of personal plunder. All
that Sherman uldrea1lJ Get from John stou
was the surrender Of his own army. Davis
and Dscckinridge had no power except over
the p'undcr with which they were
absconting. It would have been
the richest plume in 6herman's cap to have
caught those 1wo traitors: It Is reported
that Sherman declared he would not 70 out

Foul Murder BY Re bel Euerll1aS of DR..
: 8. C. RodS sIk and his OTdeFly-Rp.
ported Murder OF SIX Others Of
the hospital Corps.

Editors Chicago Tribune:
A terrible fact has just come to our kuowl-
edge from Goldsboro. The murder Of Dr.. s.
C. Rodgers, Surgeon, 30th Town, and bis or
dcrly. Dr.. Rodgers was in charge Of the hos
tital Of the 18th army corps at Goldsboro,
when Sherman's army left On Monday, the
10th inst. He passed that day In transferring
the sick to the cars for Morehead City, to
which place I accompanied 500 in number,
half of whom were shipped on the hospital
steamer Northern Light. =.
Having sent back the sick, DR.. Rodgers
started with his hospital corps Of twenty-five
men, with the hospital stores, to oVertasa
the army. After proceeding ahout ten miles
they were met By d band Of zoo guerillas.
The company had but seven guns and little
ammunition, aud decided that flight was
their only hope, suppos:ng that If they sur
rendered they would all be murdered, In
attempting to flee, Dr.. Rodgers, on horse
back, and bis orderly In q buggy, with sup
Plies, were instantly shot dead, as the COL
ored men on the way report. Eighteen Of
the men escaped safely to Gol1sboso. The
hung the came night.
DR.. Rodgers Was devout Christian, with
when all who have known him with Chris
tian sympathfes have taken sweet counsel,
H. was the suffering soldiers true friend.
His Orderly was also an earnest Christian,
Their hearts seemed knit together in beneyo-
lent love. For the past two years the Dr.,
has been the faithful friend Of my wife and
myself. How ttlo did We think when part
ing with him eight days since that we should
Fee his noble faee no more; as little US that
we should yesterday be shocked with the as
Eassinntion Of our magnapimous President.
How long, o Lord, how long before these
calamities will be o'erpast?
Sincerely yours -.

Let Us Forgive tho Rebels.

\. We ought to forgive the rebel leaders, and
take them to our hearts again. Logical rea-
sous for this course come to us daily. One
Of the strongest has just been furnished to US
In the death Of Colonel Washbasn, of the
4th Massachusetts cavalry, who was NOR
tally wounded at the engagement ut High
B1idgc, Va, on the 9th inst. He was noble
man and brave soldier He fought in South
Carolina and in Virginia; be led his men IN
der Sheridan, In the presence of Ord and Of
Grant and the best proof Of his. fidelity and
his gallantry ,was in the recommendation of
the Lieutenant General, forwarded to Wash
ipgton after his last battle, and when his
wounds we're not supposed to BE mortal, that
ho should be bEevctted Brigadier General
which request no doubt was complied with
before bis death. 4 writer In the Worcester
Spy, "a. H. B." {Hon. Alexander Il, Bull
loci, gives the following account Of his last
encounter with the enemy.
"His fatal encounter was IN that last c1Iti-
cal battle which enforced the surrender Of
Lee. While endeavoring to destroy tie High
Bridge, over which 1t was feared Lees army
night eseape, Colonel Washburn was sur
rounded By Rosser and F. H. Lee, and fought
