FROM CITY POINT

The mail boat Daniel Webster arrived here
this morning from City Point, bringing up the
mails, passengers, and a large number of rebel
deserters.
The warm sun OF the past few days has dried
up the mud considerably. The roads are i'm
proving rapidly, and active operations on the
part of the Army Of the Potomac can shortly
be looked for.
The sick and wounded in the corps hospitals
have been removed to City Point, and the most
serious cases will be speedily shipped North.

Cattle Stealing Below.

In number Of the counties Of the

measures have been taken to put an end
10 the stealing Of cattle from The Iudi

southern counties feel the danger oi

are exposed AT once to the rayages ol

the Indians. Heretofore they have
been friendly, but have become greatly

their valuable stock has been lost to
them. She thieves. as general thing,
did not live on the border. and were
no, exposed 10 the attack Of the savages
in the case Of war; hence, they plum.
dered away, until the people took tue
matter in hand. and made it dangerous
for them TO carry on their nefarious
work.
We have never seen any satisfactory
explanation of the apparent completely
of certain parties in places Of trust. and
prominent citizens, in these unlawful
raids upon .he Indians and their cattle.
1t really appears tina; this System oil
plnnder had ooun,ensnce from high
quarters; and why. if the parties wink.

the crime? We should like TO have
certain matters cleared up, if they can

Secretary McCulloch's Policy.

The policy of the Secretary Of the
Treasury is 10 give tone and solid char

country. He is determined. we learn,
TO have the governments credi. respect

soon TO place affairs on a specie basis.

purpose. desiring to let things ease down
without a crash or panic, if possible;
and if the business men Of the country
will take warning and act wisely in time,
they may save themselves and the
country sudden commercial revoIu-
,tion. But this We fear they will not
do. The gold gamblers are determin-
ed TO make The most Of their time, and
they who look TO the fuctusting gold
market, and gauge their affairs by It's
uncertain standard, will as surely come

The following is . summary OF the
terms Of Johnston's surrender. with the
approval of Davis and others. Breckiu-
ridge being present at the conference
|in his military character only:
Johnston surrenders all the military
forces Of the Confederacy, Tie civil
authorities all consenting as parties to
the surrender. The Confederacy was
not Recognised in any manner. The
terms granted are in general the same
as those which Lee received. though a.
the forces surrendered are widely sera-
rated. it was agreed tina! the Confeder-
ate troops should march to their respec-
tive capitals. and there turn over their
arms and military stores to othcers aP-
polo ted for that purpose. These terms
are subiec. to ratification BY the author
tiles at Washington. and when so rati-
fed peace will exist throughout the land.
These terms, 40 We understand it. were
rejected at Washington, as stated eles-
where. for the following reasons:
I. 1t was An exercise Of authority not
vested in Gen. Sherman, and its face
shows that both he and Johnston hnew
he had no authority 10 enter into any
such arrangement.
e. Is,was . practical acknowledge
ment Of the rebel government.
8. Itundertook to re-establish the reb-
el government that had been overthrown
a, the sacrifice of many thousands OF
lives and immense treasure. and placed
arms aud munitions Of war in the bands
of rebels at their respective capitals,
which might be used as soon az the ar
mics Of the U. s. we're disbanded. TO
conquer and subdue the loyal States.
4. BY the restoration of the rebel au.
thority in their respective States. they
would be enabled to re-establish slavery.
s. 1t might furnish a ground Of res
possibility by the Federal Government
TO pay the rebel debt. and certainly sub
ject the loyal citizens OF the rebel States
TO the debt consummated By the rebels
in the name of the States.
6. 1t will put in dispute the existence
of loyal State governments. and the new
State Of West Virginia. which has been
recognized BY every department Of the
U. s. Government.
7. Itpractically abolishes the coniis
cation laws. and relieves the rebels ol
every degree. who had slaughtered our
people. from all pains and penalties for
their crimes.
8. 1t gave terms that had been de-
libera,ely. repeatedly and solemuly re-
jected BY President Lincoln, and better
terms than the rebels had ever asked
iu their most prosperous condition.
8. Il formed basis Of true and
lasting peace. bat relieved the rebels
from the pressure Of our victories. and
left them 10 4 condition to renew their
efforts to overthrow the United States
Government and subdue the loyal States
whenever their strength was recruited
and an opportunity should offer.
