leigh correspondent, OF the l9th, says John
stoR 6rst proposed to surrender his army
on the terms granted Lee, and requested
Sherman to send propositions to Washing
ton. sherman replied ne was empowered
to act, and it was not necessary 10 send 20
Washington, thus causing ad interview,
which was held next day, when Johnston
made enquiry what terms would be yielded
to members OF the Confederate Government.
Sherman refused to recognize the authors
ties Of any such Government, but was pre-
pared TO treat with Johnston as an officer
Of the insurgent forces. A second meeting
was had, at which Breckenridge was recog-
nized as a Maior General and not as rebel
Secretary OF War, was present II was at
this conference that Sherman permitted
the introduction of the Objectionable prop
ositions which it is said were dictated by
JEFF. Davis. Sherman heard Of the Presi-
dents assassination before the negotiations
and communicated the intelligence to the
rebels, who appeared to have the profound
est regret at the event.
Gen. stoueman, who was reported at
/ Greensboro, was permitted to come through
Johuston's lines to Raleigh.
Johnston's army, probably 5000 strong,
IS better supplied with field guns end hor-
ses than any army tho Confederacy ever
had. Many Of the rank and file, however,
are not willing to await the formal surren-
der and are leaving for their homes.
The Worlds Raleigh correspondent says
a commission, consisting OF ex Gov. era
ham, ex- Gov. Swayne, Gen. Warren, and
Col. Burr were sent by Gov. Vance to see
what arrangements could be made with
Sherman on the part Of the State for ccs-
sation of hostilities, and 20 ascertain what
was the status of State governmentsand
officers under the new regime. The COM
mission had the assent Of Gen. Hardse 70
visit sherman, Johnston not being at hand,
but Wsda Hampton intercepted them and
sent them back. Fitzpatrick being IN the
rear captured them, and Hampton having
retreated, sent them on their mission. They
bad an interview with Sherman, who gave
them protection paper for the govern
nent and State officers, so long as no hos
Utilities were shown by them
sherman told them he had no iniorma-
ton as TO how the status Of the State Gov
eminent was affected, that the question did
not come within his province, that he did
not consider North Carolina out Of the
Union, as the question OF secession had not
been submitted 20 the people, that be
would respect every man that was not an
original secessi0uist and treat them with
every consideration; still he must march
through the State ia pursuit Of Johnston,
and people must necessarily suffer by that
march. Johuston's army was inferior 20
his snd every man slain in the future was
an unnecessary sarcidce. Johnston
and no, himself would be responsible Tor
this sacrifice and the suffering sutailcd on
tho people of North Carolina. The civil
, ICED world would pronounce Johustous
course inhuman and Legitimate.
The Times Washington special ssys the
ststeuent that President johnson declines
e aIl precsutson Tor his personal safety IS
erroneous, since he has given no special
& directions for guards 20 be placed about hi,
person but he approved the prscautjou
taken by the authorities, which embrace
the continuance upon duty Of the late Pres.
sident's body guard, commanded by Lieut.
iJ. b. Jsmison, Of Ohio. This company con
sists OF one select wan from each county IL
; Ohio, and numbers nearly one hundred
upon duty at al times, and the visitor VIII,
lcnls upon the President at his Temporary
mansion is confronted at once upon up
, preaching the door BY three or four soldiers
who do not permit him to advance furtho
until his name has been sent in aud orde
given by the President to admit him. II
the hall adjoining the reception room ar
also found soldiers o. genteel department
who quietly remain about the room within
. Few feet Of Mr. johnson. Sentinels con
uuually remain in the streets and abou
the lot in which the building stsuds. Il
fact, every reasonable precaution is tskei
70 prevent any violence being attempte,
upon the President.
