1t discloses the fActthat on the "Wednesday
night previous to the night when the city
was to be burned, 8 lsge barn within fly
yards of the State Magazine, situsted near

but the flames were extingusned. The
magazine eOntsins Rearly loo tons of
| powder, part belongs to the United States.

VESSEL FROM RICHMOND
The schooner Benjamin Brown has ar
rived from Richmond, Va, with cargo of
tobacco.
FROM JOHNSTON.
The Tdbune's special, Raleigh, May 4,
says that Johnston feels certain Kirby
Smith will surrender as soon as he knows
Of the surrender of the armies east of the
Mississippi. Johnston speaks in high
terms Of Shsrman's army and the difficulties
it had su-mounted in the march through
Georgia and the Carolinas.
1t is not thought there will be much re-
luctsnce on the part of Johnston's soldiers
to observe their paroles. The North Care
lima troops had nearly all left for home be-
fore the psroling officer arrived, and large
number Of others no doubt followed suit.
On the Both of April he sent dispatches
to the Governors of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida, declaring
it impossible to continue the contest longer
with any hope of success, and that he
wished to avoid the CT Gime of shedding
more blood.
iILee and Johnston are everywhere spo-
ken of with respect, but JEFF Davis is sub
ject to curses from all parties.
This does not affect the parole, which,
under the system adopted, is done by the
sficers, each for his own command; the
numbers of which are given, and the reg
mental and compsny rolls deposited with
the officers. This plan was employed 10
preserve discipline on the march, and to
prevent pillaging and dispersion int guer-
rilla parties: one-fith of the men most
trustworthy being selected TO retain arms
for the purpose of keeping the rest iu or
der. A sufficient number of wagons are
allowed for the transportation of supplies.
1t is thought thers will be less than
25. 900 men of al arms, sick and well,
officers and privstes.
The most noted Generals paroled were
Johnston, Beauregard, Hsrdee, j. Lee, A.
P. Stewart, Heke, A. P. Hill and Cheat
ham. .-.-..-
Included In Johrston's surrender are
Admiral Raphael Semmes, Commanders
Lynch and Forrest, and the Confederate
navy, consisting of one brigade Of 246
men. .- a
The psrOled troops began 70 depart en-
Wednesday, the most of the officers hAv-
ing gone before that time. Buffers divi-
sion of HAmpton's corps numbered about
1900. All the Psroled of Anderson's bri-
gade numbered 1900. These were the only
organized bodies of cavalry that were pa
rolled.
Johnston said that JeG. Davis did not
leave the lines till the conclusion Of
Sherman's truce, and a number of the
Generals staff said Davis was at Monroe,
N. C. April 26th, with an escort Of 1000
cavalry.
Johnston declared the surrender of Loo's
army ended the war, and nothing remain
ed but for them to make the best terms
they could.
