New York, April 10, 9, A. M.-Intense sorrow
is depicted on all countenances at the events
that occurred in Washington last night. The
grief of all good men was apparent everywhere,
at the demise of the President, and when the
state of affairs was known, all the flags were
placed at half-mast. The people appear per-
fectly Mortified, and the utmost rage is undoubt-
edly felt for all known secessionists and rebel
sympathizers

The nation is mourning, but the country still
lives The tender sympathies of the late la
mented President can no longer shield traitors
from their just reward. Mercy must give place
to justice. The ghosts of the thousands whom
treason has murdered must be appeased. An
eye for an eye, tooth for TOOTH
Washington, April l6.-Gen. Ord has issued
the following order All officers of the Army
of Northern Virginia who were not present at
the surrender of that army by Lee on the 9th of
April, are hereby informed of the terms Of capit-
ulation extended to them, and that they can at
once avail themselves of the same by coming
within the lines of the United States forces, at
or near Richmond, laying down their arms and
receiving their paroles.
The gentleman who communicates the above
information, says that Lee did not, after the
surrender repair to North Carolina, but has
been remaining at Appomatox G. H., to carry
out the terms of capitulatiOn, and it is supposed
by this time that he is in Richmond, Grant hay
of 100 cavalry. The best possible feeling ex-
lists between the two Generals
Nothing definite has recently been heard from
Johnston's army. 1t is the impression that it
will be disbanded, or else melt away by deser-
tion, provided a spirit to conciiate the discordl
ant elements be manifest.
New York, April l4-Forney's Press has
report that Stoneman has cut the railroad be-
tween Danville and Greensboro, and that Sher-
man has occupied Raleigh.
The Commercials special says; 1t is cur
rently reported that Stanton will resign as soon
as peace is declared.
New Y ork, April l3.-The World s special to-
night says: 1t is stated that as soon as Lee de-
cided to surrender, he set to work to devise
plan by which such en- act could result in peace.
He proposed to Grant that if generous terms
were granted him, he would himself go to John
son and urge him to surrender. Grant is un-
derstood to have met this proposal in the spirit
in which it was made, and considering that he
could represent Lincoln in the matter, granted
the terms that were suggested. 1t was finally
decided that Grant would proceed to Washing
ton, to urge upon Lincoln to stop all recruiting
and issue proclamation of amnesty, or in lieu
thereof, make it known that he would deal in
liberal manner with the soldiers and people Of
the South. In the meantime Lee would visit
Johnson in person.
