"TUEsDAY, April Is, 1865.
"The last three days have been the sad
dest in all American history. One of the
purest, wisest most magnanimous and
mostsmisble men ever placed at the head
of any government has fallen BY the hand
Of an assassin. No sovereign or chief
magistrate was ever 50 loved and trusted.
The CONSERVATION and anguish Of the
whole people could scarce be greater if ey-
cry family in the nation had, in one night,
lost its dearest member. since the Presi-
dents death business has been neglected,
almost forgotten. With the sorroWtof the
people is mingled intense indignation and
much bitterness towards all in s0y Way
implicated in the crime. Nearly twenty
years ago the writer heard one Of the most
accomplished public men in Mississippi
predict thSs JEFF. Davis would be hung.
The same gentleman repeated the predie-
ton on his death bed. As the case stsnda
now he hiss 8 very fair chance of being
clAssed among the dead prophets.
So farm evil effect has shown ITSELF
either political or financial The constitu-
tional machinery is so simple, and withsI
so nearly perfect, that even assassination
scarcely jars it. Great SIS the national
loss is, there can be little doubt but the SC
cession of the new President will greatly
expedite q final settlement. The assassin
alton piles upon the head of secession 8
load OF infsmy under which no cause could
live q moment. The South is not in q
condition to off5r any armed resistance
worthy of the name, and they know Presi-
dent johnson too well to presume in tha
least upon either his good nature or feeble
ness of purpose. Their leaders viii either
make their Pesce with the government or
fly the country. The whole south will
probably be open to trade in thirty TO six
~ days"

rebel ram, Webb, passed New Orleans at
broad daylight, displaying the stars and
stripes, but, after passing, hoisted the reb-

learning that our Government had refused
to entertain such overtures Johnston need
ed no further time for reflection or confer

o'clock on the morning of the oath Gener-
al Sherman notified Johnston that his
terms were not accepted, and truce would
end in forty-eight hours. Later in the day
he sent another demand to surrender his
army on the same terms accorded TO Lee.
Johnston replied on the 25th, asking an
interview for modifying the previous
agreement for surrendering his army.
Sherman declined to discuss the subject on
the basis of ths old agreement, but named
the time and place where he would meet
him. Johnston accepted. They accord

Johnston was coming from Greensboro,

finally made his appearance, looking much
worse for the past two weeks anxiety and
trouble, but was outspoken and frank in
arranging the agreement for his capItula-
tion. A few minutes conversation settled
the preliminaries and terms. These were
soon reduced TO writing and signed, and
are the same as those extended TO Lee, AL

ed upon him, has returned to his home
thus speaks of the treatment Of our poor
prisoners after they had been selected
for exchange:
The Colonel describes some horrible
scenes which he witnessed after arriving
at Goldsboro'. A train of privates came
from Wilmington, where they had been
sent for exchange, bat as Gen. Terry
had not been notified of their coming he
refused to receive them. Their condi-
ton, the Colonel says, was most deplora.
BILE. They were chilled, starved, and all
of them nearly perished. Three we're
frozen TO death and fifteen died in the
streets within a few minutes after the
train arrived. This terrible and heart
sickeing scene was followed by another
still more appalling. There came anoih-
er train, loaded with sick and wounded.
No language, the Colonel says, is suffi-
ciently effective to describe their condi-
ton. They were taken about two miles
from the town, thrown into piece of
woods, in the midst of cold and heavy
rain storm, and left there, with few un-
cooked rations, and none TO prepare them.
They died at the rate Of one almost in
five minutes. Gen. Baker, command
ing the town of Goldsboro', TO his ever
lasting disgrace, forbid the humane citi-
zens from furnishing even temporary re-
lief TO these dying sufferers. Notwth-
standing the outrageous order of Gen.
Baker many Of the women in the neigh-
borhood, as we'll as many Of the officers

give them some little relief. The Colonel
says that if person should witness dumb
beasts in The condition that these poor
prlvates were in, humanity would seem
to dictate that they be knocked in the
head. He mentions one instance of an
associate officer who went with him to
furnish relief and almost the first man
he came to was his own brother. He
took him in bis arms, the poor fellow
opened his eyes and recognized him, and
expired shortly after.
1t is such scenes as these which Colo~
mel Litchfield and thousands of other
brave patriots have Witnessed as the re-
suit of rebel barbarity. Thousands, too,
who have shared in their cruelties are
now buried beneath the scene Of their
terrible suferings.

A NAN VINO Has NOT SLEPT FOR
OVER FOURTEEN YEARs.--At present
there is soldier at the Chestnut Hill
Military Hospital, Philadelphia, who has
not slept for a single moment for fourteen
years and six months. This may seem
incredible, but nevertheless il is true, and
can be verified by number of persons.
The individual is an intelligent man
naturally, and has the benefit of moder-
ate education. His name is G. d. Saun-
ders, orderly sergeant Of Company G.
18th Virginia Volunteers. He entered
the service of the United States on Dec.
28, 1868. He is in the forty>f(th year
Of bis age. His health has been gen.
orally excellent during his life. In 1848
he was attacked with cholera, and since
that period with lung fever on two oc-
casions. 10 the summer of 1850 sleep
forsook him, and since that time he has
never felt the least drowsy. He has al
ways led a temperate life. His wife and
children reside in Pctnam county, West
Virginia. Since he entered the Union
army he has been on seven raids, and 10
four charges, during which time he in
forms us that he never felt tired nor
sleepy. He was in four charges made
beyond Harper's Ferry, Va, on the l7th,
18th, 19lb, and Goth of August, and yet
he did not feel the least sleepy. Why il
is that he cannot or does not sleep is as
much a mystery TO him as il is to many
scientific gentlemen, who having had their
attention called to him, have been as
founded in their attempts to investigate
the cause.
Upon one occasion, at his request, a
number of curiously-inclned gentlemen
watched him for forty two days and nights
conseeutively, in order, if possible, to ar
rive at the cause of the wonderful phe->
nomenon. These gentlemen took turns
with each other in the progress of watch
ing, so that if he should chance to sleep
it would be observed. Some Of the
watchers became drowsy, and it was as
much as he could do to awaken them.
This singular man was sent TO Phila.
