IREACHEROUS CONDUCT OF A REBEL
GENERAL.-A Nashville correspondent CT
Cincinnati Gazette tells the following
story of the murder Of Sergeant Arthur
Lyon of the 18th Pennsylvania cavalry by
the notorious rebel General of the same
name, on the 18th ult., in Marshal county,
Tennessee, just south OF the river:
'.The rebel troops under Gen. Lyon
having, on the 18th of January, reached
what they supposed to be safe ground after
their long and protitless raid through
Kentucky, went to rest with great feel
ing OF security after reaching the south
bank of the Tennessee river. The detach-
ment of the 18th Pennsylvania cavalry
having watched their movements, sur
prised their camp before day on the NOR
ming Of the 18th, with the best results
A perfect panic was produced, and near
one hundred and fifty prisoners taken
Sergeant Lyon, always foremost on such
occasions, found the quarters of the rebel
General, and entering fearlessly, captured
the prize before he had risen from his bed
The General surrendered himself to his
namesake, delivered up the arms which
he said were all he had, and then asked
permission to dress himself. This the
Sergeant granted as an indulgence due
one OF his rank, who had, with apparent
honor, surrendered his arms but being
dressed, he took advantage of the indul-
gence, and with revolver he had kept
concealed under his pillow, killed the
gallant Sergeant and made his escape
through back window
"Thus ''high toned gentleman of the
Southern cnivalry-a general in rank
added murder to the ignominy of his das-
tardly perfdy and infamous cowardice.-
There is no justification for his treachery
An Indian would scorn such an act, for a
savage knows enough of honorable war
fare to know that the coward only, and
the black hearted coward alone, will take
advantage of his captor by treachery and
lies

sA- Governor Curtin has sent special
message to the Legislature, in which he
says:
Arrangements having been perfected
by the National authorities, under which
supplies for our volunteers, now prisoners
IN the South, can be forwarded to them, l
think it right to announce the fact to our
people through you, and that the State
authorities can and will, under existing
laws, defray the expense Of transportation
of all supplies which they may send to
this place, and forward the same to the
places designated as far as 1t is practicable
The prisoners, it is well known, are in
want of food, clothing, and in fact all the
necessaries of life"
This is rare opportunity, and the
friends Of the suffering prisoners will be
sure to avail themselves of it. All that is
necessary, in selecting supplies, is to select
such articles as will be most useful to the
prisoners, and such as can be put in the
most compact shape Of forwarding.

s@- The st. Louis Republican says Brig.
Gen Rhoddy, who has earned high rep
utatioD during the war as partisan cav
airy commander, and who has co-operated
with Forrest in several important opera
tions, grew tired of the contest a few weeks
ago. He found means to communicate
with the federal authorities, and through
them procured full pardon from the
President as condition precedent to lay
ing down his arms. He will probably
soon be heard from at his old home in
Tennessee.

The Military situation.

The A,my and Nary Journal makes a
calm review OF the military situation, with
some suggestions as to the probable course
Of the spring campaign, which are well
worthy of attention
"We regard Grant and Lee about equal
in strength, considering the tasks imposed
upon each. Each, by position, is in con
dition to resist ali possible aggression; and
neither, therefore is prepared to make any
vigorous and decisive aggressive movement
with any reasonable chance of success
We coasider Thomas and Hood to be nee
essarily out Of the sphere OF the present
operations. The former, because he has
been wisely depleted TO reinforce Sherman
the latter, because Of his immense losses
in men and material during his failure In
Tennessee. The key Of the position, the
hopes OF the future, we consider to be with
Sherman, who, uuopposed by any organ
lied force capable Of confronting him with
probability of success, threatens SO many
important points in the enemy's territory,
that concentration to oppose him must
mean the Abandonment of positions of con-
siderable Importance to us"
Sherman's ultimate object is now Rich
mond, and his advance upon chat point
may occupy three months or possibly six,
but not more. His danger will come in
the spring, when he is far enough adj
yanced to have Wilmington as his base
''Lee, by evacuating Petersburg, and
contracting his lines round Richmond, or
IT the emergency shall have proved great
enough, and the force at his disposal too
meagre to justify even leaving small
garrison in Richmond-by abandoning his
capital altogether, might endeavor to fall
upon Sherman with superior forces. II
he succeeded in defeating him, he could
gather up the scattered garrisons OF Au-
gusta, Charleston and Wilmington, aud
would probably outnumber Grant and
temporarily restore the condition Of affairs
to a more equal balance. IF Sherman,
finding himself outnumbered, should ma
neuver to avoid battle, and to connect HIM
self with Grant, 1t would be nearly inlpos-
sible to compel him to fight; but lie might
be forced to leave the road open to the
West. A drawn battle would give the
same alternative to Lee. This woul6
insure US Virginia and The Carolinas, but
would transfer the conflict to Western
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Ten
nessee, where our long line of communi-
cation places US at every disadvantage, and
where, with determination, a prolonged
resistance, eXhaustiDg to both parties,
would be the result This is the utmost
which we think the enemy's military
possibilities permit him to accomplish"

RIcHMoNn. Feb. 3. /.


RIcHMoxD, Feb. 5, 1865.
To the President Of tie Confederate States:
SIR Under your letter Of appoint
ment, of the 28th ult.. we proceeded to
seek an informal conference with Abra-
ham Lincoln, President of Tie United
States, upon the subject mentioned in your
letter.
The conference was granted, ana took
place on the 30th ult, on board steamer
anchored in Hampton Roads, where we
met President Lincoln and the Hon. w
Ii. Seward, Secretary Of State Of the Uni
ted States,
1t continued for several hours, and was
both full and explicit. We learned from
them that the message of President Lin
coin to the United States Congress, in
December last, explains clearly and dis
tinctly his sentiments as to the terms, con-
ditions, and method of proceeding by which
peace can be secured to the people, and
we were not Informed that they would be
modified or altered to obtain that end.
We understand from him that no terms
or proposals Of any treaty or agreement,
looking to an ultimate settlement, would
be entertained or made by him with the
authorities of the Confederate States,
because that would be recognition of
their existence as a separate power, which,
under no circumstances, would be done,
and, for like reasons, that no such terms
would be entertained by him from States
separately; that no extended truce or
armistice, as at present advocated, would
be granted or allowed without satisfactory
oS oJ,y r. IL
toration Of the Constitution and laws of
the United States over all places within
the States of the Confederacy.
That Whatever consequences may follow
the re-establishment of thai authority
must be accepted, but that individuals,
subject to pains and penalties under the
laws of the United States, might rely on q
very liberal use of the power coDfded to
him to remit their pans and penalties, if
peace be restored.
During the conference, tie proposed
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, adopted by Congress on
the 3lst ultimo, were brought to our
notice.
These amendments provide that neither
slavery nor Involuntary servitude, except
States, or any place within their jurisdic-
ton, and that Congress should have power
to enforce this amendment by appropriate
legislation.
OF all the correspondence that prece-
ded the conference herein mentioned and
leading to the same, you have heretofore
been informed.
Very respectfully, your obedient SER
wants, ALEX. II. STEPHENS,

MASSACRE OF NEGRO SOLDIERs.-The
Louisville Journal confirms the massacre
of thirty-fve negro soldiers by rebel guer-
rillas near Simpsonville, Ky, reported by
telegraph few days ego. They were
guarding drove of government cattle on
the way to Louisville from Camp Nelson
The day being cold, and no danger being
apprehended, the soldiers were allowed to
straggle along by themselves, while their
officers stopped to warm at various houses
on the road. Onc-half Of the command
marched in front of the cattle, while the
other portion kept in the rear OF the drove.
The cattle and the guard were not far from
psonville, when fifteen guerillas dashed
upon the party guarding the rear of the
cattle, taking them completely by surprise.
1t is presumed the negroes surrendered
and were shot down in cold blood, as but
two Of the entire number escaped one of
them by secretiug himself behind wagon,
the other by running, as he was met sew
eral miles from the scene of the tragedy,
wounded and nearly exhausted. Thirty
i've dead bodies were counted lying in the
road and vicinity. 1t was a horrible
butchery. The guerillas returned to Simp-
sonyille without one Of their number
wounded, and reported that they had
killed twenty-five of the negroes They
then moved off in another direction.
