New York, April Is.
The Worlds Washington special says
advices received here to-day direct from
Raleigh state that the conference between
Sherman and Johnston took place At
Chsppels Hill. some 100 miles vest Of
Raleigh. Johuston's army, composed Of
about $4,000 men, including Hampton
and WheeIer's cavalry, lay 80 miles from
the city on the road running TO Charlotte.
AT the second interview. Breckenridge, the
rebel Sec'y Of War, Vas present and par.

thirds of the States. II was understood
that during this conference, which lasted
two days. jeff Davis was at Hiilsboro and
in telegraphic communication with Breck
inridge at Johnston's headquarters.
The men Of the rebel army, with the
exception of now and then some officers.
were anxious for peace and desired 10 60
home.
Throughout North Carolina there have
been most earnest exhibitions OF loyalty.
When our forces entered Rlleigh the TWO
papers there. the Standard edited By Hol.
mau, and the Progress, we're found to
have been such strong Union sheets for
some time past that their publication was

our troops and tho citixsDs, including
large numbers Of ladies. appeared as usual
on the streets. Business was not even
suspended.
The news Of the Presidents aseassina.
tion reached Raleigh last Wednes iay.
That night very large meeting Of citi.
zens was held, at which resolutions were
passed denouncing the deed and repre-
seuting sympathy for the nation and the
people. The size Of the meetings sur
priced the army, who stood aloof from it.

p@- 1t cannot be said that Gen. Sher-
mans strange peace project was the re-
suit of ignorance of his powers as . mill
tary commander, for be had before him
the action of his chief. Gen. Grant. who
10 his correspondence with Gen. Lee, had
. expressly disclaimed any right or power
to make peace for the country. Nor can
we conceive how he could be ignorant Of
the views of Mr.. Lincoln, - they are set
forth in Mr.. STATIONS dispatc published
yesterday. Gen. Sherman has deliber-
ately assumed unlawful powers, has ig-
nored his duties, trampled under foot the
settled policy OF the Government. disre-
garded the wishes and views Of the peo-
pie, and has done, or sought to do, vast
harm to that cause for which he has
fought so nobly. We are not unmindfal
Of Shermsn's pas. achievements. As he
is brave soldier, We praise him; as q
brilliant ofR,sr, We admire him; % be is
ambitious and foolish nsgotiator, We
condemn him. Republics are not nm
grateful, bat their safety densnds that
they permit not the most loved Of their
citizens to compromise their honor or
endanger the life Of their Government.

aedsss 0f,he;great struggle In which the country
engaged depends as much on the confidence of the
people in the Legislative as in the Executive De
partment of the government, the Message would
have been received without comment. Your CON-
mittee would have preferred silence. 1t has been
induced to an opposite course, because ehey be-
lieyc Congress would be derelict in its duty, to
permit its legitimate and constitutional influence TO
he destroyed ty Executive admonitons such as
those contained in the Message under considera-
tion without public exposition of its conduct.
Respectfully submitted.
