TERMS OF JOHNsTOS's SURRENDER
AS the terms Of surrender accorded
the rebel Gen. Johnston are the same
as those dictated to Gen, Lee, we re-
fresh the readers recollection by a
republication of Gen. Grants note of
the 9th ult.:
ApPomArrox COURT House, Apr.9
Gen. Il. E. Lee:
In accordance with the substance of
my letter to you, of the 9Th inst, pro
pose to receive the surrender of the
army of Northern Virgi ia on the fol
lowing terms, to wit: Rolls of all the Off
GERS and men to be made in duplicate;
one copy to be given to any officer de-
signated by me. the other to be retained
by such officr as you may designate.
The officers to give their individual
paroles not to take up arms against the
Government of the United States until
properly exchanged, and each company
or regiment commander sign a like
parole for The men of their commands:
the arms, artillery and public property
to be packed, stack ed and turned over
10 the officers appointed by me to receive
arras of the officers, nor their private
horses Or baggage. This done, each
officer and man will be allowed to return
to their homes, not to be disturbed by
the United State authorities 80 long as

Yours respectfully,

TIL THEOh0GICiLLY CONSIDERED.

A correspondent of the Wheeling
(West Va.) AsteUieescer, writing from
Beverly, under date of April %, calls
in question the soundness Of the opin-
ion so freely and generally advanced
from the pulpit that the assassination
was the work of Providence. Disclaim-
ing the act Of Booth as being the act Of
God he asks the following questions.
If Providence was the cause, and
Booth merely the s,sst,Hn2ent, has Booth
in accomplishing the work assigned
him by Providence, committed a crime?
If Booth had refuged to be made the
instrument of Providence in this work.
would he not have been the chief of
rebels, .eba alIing against the authority
of high heaven?
If we demand Booths life as a pen
atty of this foulest murder will it not
embarrass the future operations Of
Froy;dence2 as it would have tenden-
cy to raise the market price Of such
Instruments.
Who will answer the above questions
and cb!;se one vhc balieyas that Booth
has committed the most damnable
crime that blackens the pages o. Grim
nal history.

THE WAR NEWS,

Gen. Sheridan official report has been re-
ceived. Fourteen hundred privates, forty
officers, and fourteen cannons, were captur-
ed by him. On the 9th he reached the James
river canal-destroyed the guard lock at
New Canton, and let the water of the James
into the canal, which swept away large
section of the canal-destroyed miles of
the railroad and the canal within Is miles of
Lynchburs-destroyed several other locks
on the canal, and merchandise, mills, fac
tories and bridges and captured twelve ca
nal boats laden with supplies. ammunition,
rations, medical stores, etc.
From Sherman we have nothing definate.
A report however, is current that Chea-
than had attempted to make junction with
Johnston, but that Sherman suddenly at
tackled and utterly annihilated his force, and
that afterwards he attacked Johnston and
defeated him-and that he crossed the Pc
dee river into North Carolina, and placed
himself between Hardee and Johnston.
These reports need confirmation.
The rebels claim to have defeated Union
force near Kinston, n. C. but later dispatch
from Gen. Scofeld says THE enemy made a
heavy attack upon our centre and left on
the 10TH but was repulsed with heavy loss.
His dead and badly wounded were left on
the field Our loss was small - Couch and
Cox divisions have made junction. Kins-
ton is between Newberne and Goldsboro-

Military Courts,

We are glad to learn that strong effort
has been made at Washington, to have all
citizens now under arrest, and being held
by the military authorities, turned over to
the civil courts for trial 1t is our firm
conviction, that the military courts have no
jurisdiction over citizens. While persons
who violate the provisions of the Enrolment
Act, are liable to summary arrest by Pro-
vost Marshals, yet il is expressly provided
that they shall be handed over to the custo-
dy of the United States Marshal, for trial
before the civil courts. And this provision
is right. The American people have ever
been taught to believe, that when accused of
crime, they have right to be tried by a ju-
ry of their countrymen, and they can never
be brought to look upon any other mode of
trial, however fair or impartial 1t may be,
with favor We trust the Government will
see the propriety of making the order ask
ed for. We believe it would be strength
ened by SO doing, and that the guilty would
be as certainly punished as they are now.
There is surely no necessity for trying citi-
zens before military courts in States where
no actual hostilities exist.

The New Enrolment Law,

Near the close of the session. Congress
passed bill amendatory of the Enrolment
Act. Not having seen the bill as it finally
passed the Senate, we are unableto say fany
amendments were made to it by that body; 4;
but we presume it passed the Senate in the
shape it came from the House. The new
law embraces the following provisions:
No person of foreign birth who has resi-
ded in the United States for three years
preceding his arrival at the age of twenty
one years, shall be exempt from enrolment
and draft on account of being an alien. A
man furnishing substitute for three years is
exempt for that time. Volunteering agents
are to be directly authorized by the Secreta
ry of War. Volunteers cannot be mustered in
for any other districts than those in which
they reside. Principals who put in INSULT
cient substitutes are to be notified of the fact,
in order that their places may be properly
supplied, provided that notice be given to
such principals within 80 days. In addi-
ton to the other lawful penalties for the
crime of desertion from the military or Ma
val service. it is provided that persons who
have deserted who shall not return or report
themselves to Provost Marshal within six
ty-days, shall be deemed and taken to have
voluntarily relinquished and forfeited their
rights of citizenship and their rights to be-
come citizens. This penalty attaches to
those who run away after enrolment and
before the draft with intention to escape the
same.

FORTRESS MONROE, Jan. 31.-The steamer
Warrior, Captain Mott, arrived here o-day,
from Fort Fisher, n. q. Up to the time the
Warrior sailed, last Sunday, nothing of i'm.
portance had taken place, with the exception
that several OF our gunboats were moving up
the cape Fear river, in the vicinity of one of
the rebel forts, probably with the intention OF
bombarding it,
TIE steamship Cahawba also arrived here
this afternoon from Hilton Head, with over
1--WE hundred rebel prisoners, captured BY Ma
Jor General Sherman in his late campaign.
The Cahawba sailed from Hilton Head last
Saturday, and, besides the mails and many
dispatches from Sherman's army brings in.
telhgence OF the highly gratifying success thus
TAR attending the opening of the new campaign
in the State OF South Carolina. One portion
CT Sherman's army had moved from Savannah,
and the other. consisting of two corps, moved
from Beaufort, :. c., and were both rapidly
advancing against Charleston.
The latest intelligence received from the army
represents 1t to be at a distance less than forty
miles from the city, the enemy offering resist
ance at every point and being gradually driven
from every available position for defence
The lines of Shermans army were being
gradually contracted, and it was likely no
desperate resistance or battle would be offered
until our forces reached to within few miles
of Charleston, where the main body of the rebel
force would be concentrated, to make one ter
1Ible effort against the inroads OF our army.
