Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware ofthe San Francisco quncks and pretend
ers who, with bogus sworn.to certificates, dupe the
unwary. Some Of the sclf-styled doctors, whose
papers Of San Francisco. are tradesmen, and be-
came too lazy to work at their trades: Some are
tinsmiths. shoemakers, newspaper CARRIES. intelli

pations in it. Look at the Directory for 1862 and
i863. The only why to avoid imposition IL to make
inquiry-it will cost you nothing and may save you
many regrets; for, as advertising physicians in
eight cases out Of ten are bogus there /: no safety
in trusting any Of them until you know who and

THE WAR NEWS.
81 ON the Age of april 18Th ]

From the Age Of april 18th
The President of The United States was
shot last evening while attending a Wash
inslon theatre. Ii is feared that he is NOR,
tally wounded.
The detail acceusls OF the surrender OF
the Confederate army of Northern Virginia
by Ger Lee to Gen Grant have at length
BEEN received. The hnsl interview be-
tween the TWO generals took place al the
residence of Mr.. Wilson McLane, in Apo
mal,ox Courl House. The conditions OF sur
render were pre- pared by an aid, and signed
by The generals. General Custer purchased
a small table on which the agreement was
pre- pared, and General Ord bouch. large
liable on which they were finally signed
The only trophies lell for ur McLane were
the chairs on which the generals sat, but
these were finally stolen by two cavalry
officers As soon as the army was surren>
dsred. Gen GRAM ordered twenty five thou
sand ratons 10 be distributed among the
Confederaies.
Shetidan's cavelry and the Twenty-iour'h h
corps al once marched southwark 10 attack
Johustons rear. The Fifth corps remained
al Appomaiiox to superinlend the details OF
the surrender. The Ninth corps is now
guarding the railroad running from Peters
burg 10 BuFkesville. The Second, Sixth and
part OIL me weary ullu COL PS are dt DuIk0s-
vile Gen. Orbs is now in command at
Richmond and Weilzel is al Petersburg.
II is reported that Gen. Sherman's army
advanced from Goldsboro on Monday even
ing last Our advicss from Goidsboro, are
down TO Monday, when everything was pre-
| pared for the movement. IL is SAID That
| Lee is to 60 10 Raleigh 10 meet JOHNSTON
and advise him 10 surrender. Very Tllle de-
| pendebcs can be placed on ihese statements
however. Lee was in Richmond on We'd
nes0ay.
The American Minister in Portugal, Mr.
Harvey has demanded satisfaction oi the
| Portuguese Government for firing on the Nj
| agara He demands that The American flag
shall be saluied oy the iorts that did the fir
ing, and the governor oil the forts be de
| missed.
Col. Wilmer, Provost Marshal of the
State of Delaware, has beeu relieved from
duty, and ordered 10 report at Washington.
The reported capture of Selma, Alabama
is confirmed. There is nothing definite,
however, of the number of troops captured.
General Graat. s. headquarters will hereai-
er be in Washington. General Ewell has
been released on parole, and is in Wash
ingiOu.

4 1t has been question of decided interest
4 how many men General Lee surrendered.
I and whether il was the Army of Norhero
Virginia proper or oniS small portion
fthereof According to The statements of
THE correspondents of the Tribune, which
are confirmed by another of the Times, The
sHumber does moi exceed seven thousand or
seight thousand. On this point The writer
Gin lhe Tribune says y "0c the surrender Of
Lee il was estimated that his army consisted
sof about thirty thousand men. II wiH
Therefore, psfonish The country TO learn that Of
eparOled prisoners zoe probably received at ne
surrender not more than eight thousand. The
fquesiion naturally arises, what became of
sthe remaining twenty-five thousand Rebel
9officers aver that. on learning of Lees in
ienlion TO surrender, thousands, among them
sthe rebel cavalry. left. either for their homes
or TO join The army of Johnston before being
paroled and that these men will doubt
less, soon be found in the fighting ranks of
.lhe rebel armies elsewhere"
The Times correspondent says: "The
scavalry operating Ter Gen. Lee was turned
over but only a small force, with broken
down horses, could be found-reporI stating
that the best had been sent 10 Gen. Johr-
|ston. Very little ammunition, aud no sup.
plies, were found. The number of men
that General Lee claimed to be able to
give up was ten thousand, with muskets,
lwnh as many more men from the Com
|missary, Quariermastes, Hospital aud other
Departments but officers who have been
permitted to pass through their camp assert
that not more than seven thousand or eight
'shousand will be found to have surrender
ed"
II is apparent from this that nearly all of
Lees cavalry escaped, and a considerable
number of his infantry force have also at.
tempted 10 join Johnston By circuitous
route. And these. of course, do not come
under the provisions Of the surrender, al.
though they belonged TO The Army Of
Northern Virginia.
