The BATTLE .oF PErERsBURG.-An
officer who left Richmond at nine o clock
on Monday morning last informs us that
at the time he left, the city. was in flames
from Gary to Canal streets. The
ShoclSoe warehouse and other entrepots
OF supplies were burning. The bridges
also had been fired. "s ~. =
No mob or violence of any kind had
occurred up to the period when he left,
so that the reports of a destructive mob
on Sunday night are untrue. The enc.
my's cavalry entered the city as the
train moved OFF that he came out in.
The story of the mob therefore we hope
Is entirely erroneous. This officer
describes the fighting on Saturday as
terrific beyond description. The enemy
forced column after column on our
works, tapping our lines on the extreme
right. They came nine columns deep.
Eight lines faltered and were broken by
the obstinaoy OF our defences, but the
ninth broke over our forces like whirI.
wind. He says the destruction ofthe
enemy was. immense. Our loss, we
think, consistedmainly in the prisoners
taken by the enemy. All the prisoners
whom we captured were drunk having
been prepared, according to Yankee tao,
tics, for this dreadful ordeal. I On Mon.
day Sheridan attacked Fitz Lee and was
handsomely repulsee. .--Raleigh Conted.

as an officer of insurgent forces. At a subse-
quent meeting Breckenridge was recognized as a
Major General and not as rebel Secretary OF War.
At this conference Sherman permitted the intro

to have been dictated by jeff Davis. Sherman
heard of the Presidents assassination before ne

rebels who appeared to entertain the profound

him to resume offensive operations.

THE SUPREME JUDGEsHIP.-The Quincy Union,
Oroyille Record, Red Bluff Iadepeadent and Shas-
IA Courier have expressed their preference for
Judge Warren T. Sexton, CT Butte, as the sue
cessor of Judge San1erson. We are called upon
fora similar expression in the matter, and though
personally unacquainted with Judge Sexton, are
induced to believe from the representations of
those who have known him long and WELL that
he is emnently qualified for the place, man of
integrity, purity of character, and an unswerv-
ing Unionst.
From the fact that Northern delegations have
heretofore gone into State Conventions without
any previous understanding, this section of the
State has, as a general thing, been cleft out in
the cold when fat things were to be parceled
out. Let the people of the North understand
themselves hereafter. The Supreme Bench is
now composed of men from the Southern and
Middle portion of the State, and it is but Justice

the assassination of the late President DISPOSE
tion ON the part of many staunch Unionists to
donbt the capacity of the Presidential successor
for the duties which must necessarily devolve
upon him as pilot of the Ship of State Every
disnatch received since his Inauguration has
tended to dispel this feeling-to prove that he is
composed of the right kind of material His
;roucnral address Swallowed forth the measures
bv which he would be guided, and his speech to
the Indiana delegation on the ed, was frank and
decisive On that occasion he said While |
saw. as to the leaders, treason must be punished,
I also saw leniency and Cancellation to the hous-
aads whom they have misled and deceived.
We believe it a subject of national congratula-
ton that Andrew Johnson succeeded Mr.. Lin
coin. For four years he has been an unwilling
witness of the spirit OF rebellion, so teartully
exemplified in the late NATIONAL catastrophe; he
has proved true to his own State from the firing
of the first gun at Sumter, andwe have no reason
TO believe that he will falter in the discharge OF
his duties as Chief Magistrate of our now nearly
regenerated country.
In this connection we give the following ex-
tract from speech delivered by him i'll the Uni
ted States Senate in 1861, speaking from the
desk adjoining that of JEFF. Davis, and almost
shaking his finger in the face of that archtrait-
